Obama the Uniter: Republicans "Gotta Sit in Back"
Posted by Jim Hoft on Tuesday, October 26, 2010, 5:17 AM
Worst. President. Ever.
Barack Obama added a new line to his speech yesterday. Now he says, “Republicans gotta sit in back.”
Classy.
The AP reported:
In a little more than five hours in the state, Obama was booked for a factory tour and for a pair of fundraisers that party officials said would bring in $500,000.
He said Republicans had driven the economy into a ditch and then stood by and criticized while Democrats pulled it out. Now that progress has been made, he said, “we can’t have special interests sitting shotgun. We gotta have middle class families up in front. We don’t mind the Republicans joining us. They can come for the ride, but they gotta sit in back.“
Democrat Frank Caprio may have said it best… He can shove it.

Let me guess: he said it in that sing-song way of speaking that attempts to make him sound as if he is one of the common people.
Chris commented:
And poor ol’ Rosa Parks is a-spinnin’ in her grave at about a bazillion rpms.
Maybe she could rise up ever so briefly and vigourously slap this ersatz racial uniter firmly “upside the head” a few times.
I hope at least our separate Republican/Conservative drinking fountains and restrooms will not be too far out in back of the bus station.
What alternate universe do he and his speech writers live in?
Sit in the back?
Rosa, come back! We need you!

A week from today I’ll be sipping on a Slurpee(tm).

We Australian would tell Obama:
PUT A SOCK IN
southernsue commented:
i don’t believe the RI guy. he’ll say anything to get elected. if he is a D, i don’t trust him.
obumbles has to be stopped and his democratic co-harts, who has voted for his agenda lock step.
be at the polls nov and vote out the democrats.
Willy Dome commented:
So it is okay to segregate the Republicans to the back of the bus….even the Black (and other minority) Republicans?
Obama is all for segregation.
Robert commented:
Yesterday we were “the enemy”.
Today we gotta “sit in the back”.
This is divisive rhetoric unbecoming of the office.
Mariam commented:
Since when has he let *the people* sit in front? I remember him saying he doesn’t care if he’s a one-term President – he’ll do what he darn well pleases and we’ll like it. Citizens protested and exercised their rights and they were first ignored, and then made fun of when they refused to be ignored. Can you hear us NOW, Obummer?
Andreas K. commented:
Sit in the back? The front seats are “Democrat only”, eh?
pat09 commented:
The silence of the media of this “racist” analogy is deafening…….. had it been made in the same context by the right, the media would have jumped on its back and driven it through election day.
SicSemperTyrannus commented:
Oh yeah, how’s about we impeach your ass in 2011?
bigL commented:
Obama has the power and he is going to run this country into the ground. If we continue with the Tea party rallies after the election (and we must) expect arrests and to be fired upon.He and his staff are out-of -control.
I don’t think the GOP can or will stand up to him.
They are too weak.Too used to the good life and “collegiality” “going along to get along’. “reaching…”
It is a mess.
Mark1957 commented:
I’m tired of his stupid car analogies, but here is one for him. One week from today We The People are going to hog-tie you and put you in the trunk.
Multitude commented:
Another reason Obama and anyone who works in the private sector business world don’t see eye-to-eye: this kind of language and its intention of creating a hostile environment would get one terminated immediately from their job.
Barry, we’re aware of your anti-colonialism messages. Trust us, we get the middle finger gestures and the not-so-coded messages and references to the slave getting even, etc. It’s just that many of us are increasingly puzzled at your naivety: you see, *you* are the master now and the middle class is the slave.
Care to keep inciting us?
daryl commented:
Just consider the source. Lot less hard to figure that way.
Hahvahd education does NOT a President make.
JustSaying commented:
This guy has so much class! What a complete idiot and racist as they come…he thinks because he is black he can get away with this crap..This moron is telling us we can come for a ride, but…”we have to sit in the back”
.what a discrace to the Presidency of the US ….
The guy from RI said it best….”shove it”
I’ll sit where I want to sit…
I can see November 2nd from my kitchen…
Ginger commented:
“Let me be clear” he is one sick, evil SOB
mueller commented:
Like any good facist he should have created his brownshirts first. The first thing he and his pet congress should have done was mandatory,”Organizing for America” young peoples volunteer group.
If he had done that then he could enforce his will. Now we’ll just laugh at him.
The left hand side of the bell curve should not be allowed to vote.
Big Mo commented:
What a #%!$
Add this to the looooooooong list of items documenting “If a Republican had said this…”
Swifty commented:
Obama, that is a racist remark and condescending as well. Stop the racial politics. You are not even close to doing a good job representing the seriousness of office of the president.
Ruth commented:
I’m not interested in sitting in the back if Obama and the Democrats are driving the bus (off the cliff).
Nov 2, let’s help the Democrats OFF the bus and let the AMERICAN PEOPLE operate the GPS.
mark commented:
His story is not completely true. First of all, the car in the ditch he keeps referring to is a GM. It was stuck in the mud. But after Obama found it he stole it from its rightful owners, then crashed it into a 60 foot deep mud hole. It keeps sinking deeper and deeper. Nobody is driving that car anywhere so he can sit up front and “drive” all he wants. I doubt the radio even works. As for the offer to the middle class to sit up front with you—no thanks, we can walk.
Aitch748 commented:
So Republicans are Rosa Parks now?
Militant Conservative commented:
Keep talkin swifty its the last week and your remarks are mostly helping Republicans. LOL you are the biggest help the Republicans have. A dunce leader trying to take the country where its citezens do not wish to go. powder is dry
Trish commented:
MOST POLARIZING, MOST PARTISAN PRESIDENT EVAH!!!!!!!!!!!
My God, will he stoop to further lows? Is it even possible?
Rock commented:
Why do I have a feeling this is much more insidious. Could he have just run the idea up the flag pole for a one party government to see which way the wind is blowing, or to rally support from the left to make a final push for his Socialist utopia, with the Socialist and him the only ruling party.

Whatever happened to Obama’s WE WON THEY LOST SO WE GET TO CALL THE SHOTS!
How long before we see Republican only bathrooms?
sandy commented:
According to today’s Drudge Report Obama hit a new low in the polls 37%.
Still surprised its that high.
Saint commented:
Wow. He really said that? Is he really using Jim Crow style terminology now? I suppose the Democrats advocating second class citizens isn’t anything new, but it certainly is quite fascistic…which also isn’t anything new for the Democrats.

Sandy, if this is suppose to be cute, it’s not…comments like that are really inappropriate!
sandy commented:
This remark is a game changer and should force Obama’s resignation. Trent Lott was forced to resign over comments far less incendiary.
It tells us that Obama has given up the vast middle in order to pick up some on the fringe left. Flop sweat is dripping from every pore.
Doug Edelman commented:
Sounds to me like its inciting a “payback” mentality. The whole retributionist, redistributionist thing. His whole presidency has been based on “stick it to the man” thinking. Maybe he doesn’t realize that for the last 2 years, HE’S THE MAN!
sandy commented:
Just Saying — WE WON YOU LOST SO WE GET TO CALL THE SHOTS is what Obama said when the Republicans opposed the Stimulus Bill.
So Republicans should ride in the back because Obama doesn’t understand that Congress is a co-equal branch of govt.
The comment that’s inappropriate is Obama’s.

Sorry Sandy, misunderstood you….my apologies
Mahon commented:
The man has no self-awareness whatever. How can he not understand how it sounds to have an African-American President talking about people having to ride “in the back of the bus?”
Chaney, Goodman and Schwerner died for this?
sandy commented:
Just Saying — No problem. Hugs
Rock commented:
All of Obama’s rhetoric is designed to divide Americans, blacks against whites, the poor against the wealthy, the people against the nation, and every group with opposing views. He wants civil unrest, the perfect tool to galvanize his control over the masses. His puppets in key position feed that unrest by design with inflammatory accusations and action or in-action that only aggravates the situation. While I had hoped for better, the fact that 92% of registered black voters, voted Obama seems to indicate blacks do not want to be part of the American dream, but look for revenge and payback and saw Obama as the path to that end. Final solution we all lose.
Joanne commented:
The democrats pulled the U.S. economy out of the ditch? Really, so when did that happen. Obama is insane.
Elmo commented:
Back’uh the bus cracker!
Yeah … did a triple take this morn, when I sidled me pony up to Drudge.
So … on one hand, he’s an idiot/moron/lunatic (and really … who can argue?).
And on the other … he’s engaged in a planned, pre-election attempt … to cause the electorate to engage in acts of violence.
Bottom line it for us elmo:
After November Second, that 6′ bag of sh*t WILL finally start rolling down hill. Believe. It is over. Seven days. Seven days. Seven days. Seven days. Seven days ….
Stuart commented:
Mr. President:
You are on record now as regarding those who oppose your policies as enemies. Moreover you insist that we, your enemies, go to the back of the bus.
Are you sure that’s where you want us?
All right, but remember we will be behind you all the way.

Everybody should buy Slurpees next Tuesday. I’m gonna buy victory Slurpees for my sons.
jimbob2000 commented:
That’s code language for “Whitey sits on the back of the bus”. The divider-in-chief as spoken.
thomas mc donnell commented:
mr president you can’t put the middle class in the front and the republicans in the back. they have to be in the same seat. the middle class are the republicans.
From the back of the bus commented:
Everything coming out of his mouth lately is indicative of what many of us knew in the summer of 2008: Obama is nothing but a mindless gutter punk from Chicago’s South Side who is committed to agitation and divisiveness. The next two years ought to be a real trip for this Country.
Eddie commented:
So what? It’s empty rhetoric. Neither he nor the Democrats in congress have the guts to actually stand up to Republicans.
Leslie D. Martin commented:
If a “white guy” had said that ["...sit in back..."] he’d be accused of using a racist hate speech.
