if I felt that he truly felt that way
How many times does he have to say stuff like that before you start realizing that's exactly who he is? "Get in their faces" "Punish our enemies" "You didn't build that" "At some point, you've made enough money" "...they cling to guns and religion with antipathy for people that aren't like them." "Did I mention he's black?" "The election is over, John." "We won." The dude is a divider, and when he's off the cuff is precisely when you see the true Obama. That's the whole point. That's why he's ALWAYS on teleprompter, to keep these precise moments from happening. Wise up, man!

Has there ever been a more divisive President?
I'm 63 and have been watching elections since 1960 (yeah, I was 11). With the possible exception of the LBJ "Daisy" ad in the '64 election, I've never seen a dirtier campaigner and a worse divider in the White House. Never ever. And that includes Nixon. Obama tops them all in sheer hypocrisy, too.

This man may need a teleprompter but he is no Joe Biden. Which is to say he has a plethora of words at his disposal and has used them extravagantly for nearly 4 solid years. If he said this, and in the context of his meaning and speech, Obama meant to rile up a very unlovely emotional response among his thralls. He meant exactly what he said. Revenge is high on his agenda, because he is a strident anti-Colonialist and believes America is the last of the old line Colonial powers. He wants to exact revenge on what he perceives to be the privileged and the powerful (never mind that he himself is a millionaire). "Don't boo, vote..." is merely a smoke screen to try to disguise the other half of his statement, which was, is and always will be intended to divide and stir up class hatred. He is a poor excuse for a President who claims to be President of all the people.

Can someone explain it to me. Revenge for what?
Revenge because the liberals believe there is a limited amount of wealth available and since all the successful people have taken all of it, there is none left for the rest. So they have to take revenge for under achieving.

Revenge for what? Being lazy? A no-count as they used to say?

Revenge for actually being challenged, having to debate, having to explain. It's the whole entitlement thing.

It is definitely a "gaffe", so I don't see it as a big deal (it doesn't really confirm anything we didn't already know about him). However the lack of coverage this gaffe will get in the MSM, as opposed to if Mitt would say a similar gaffe is what is annoying about it. But of course DA will pop in and just say "You are all stupid. Nothing to see here. Everything is fine. Desperation. I'm a hack."

You got to be kidding me. Hard to find the right words? Really? Voting is the best... Solution Cure Message No he meant revenge...his arrogance came through...revenge for questioning his ideas or claiming he was wrong.

Hmmm . . . I've been around for awhile and I honestly can't remember any president having his words parsed and either exaggerated or misconstrued for political advantage quite as much as this one. Now, I'll admit that it could be because this will be the first presidential election during which I've spent time on this board.
