Oh Brother… Obama Refers to Himself as “The Gipper” (Video)

Oh brother… Obama is now referring to himself as “The Gipper.”

Please, someone tell me this isn’t happening.
Are we really going to be fed this line of crap for the next two years?
Via Real Clear Politics:

UPDATE: Erik added:

How can someone who claims to have graduated from Harvard not know how to use the 3rd person singular nominative case “he”? President Obama frequently uses “him” (3rd person singular accusative) instead of “he”. Latest example is the “Gipper” clip.

Haven’t you heard the expression “Throw enough crap up against the wall until something sticks”?

It’s going to be a long two years.

Maybe this has something to do with it.

Wow. What can I say? Obama is the walking talking living humorous anecdote machine. He could go on and on about ties… for hours! You think it’s easy being in the press corps? Try having to laugh at Obama’s tie jokes for four hours. Oh the humanity.

He really meant the “gypper” , as in one who cons the American People.

Since America is not buying the message, the campaign is trying to change the messenger. But it’s too late.
Reagan believed in American exceptionalism and that ‘shining city on the hill’ full of promise. He could motivate people to take risks and their own personal success was celebrated. Individual freedom and economic liberty were good. No one compared Reagan to anyone else. Reagan stood on his own.
and
Obama apologized for American arrogance and told people we needed to ‘share the wealth’. Collectivism destroys incentive to work. There’s no benefit. If you are successful, you are considered ‘greedy’.

It’s cause he wants nothing to do with Reagan’s predecessor – even though technically he agrees with Jimmy.

Every time Obama calls himself Gipper, someone ought to throw a peanut at him and call him Jimmy.

Welcome back Carter.

The propagandist thinks maybe if he and msnbc say it, people will believe it. Get ready for chris mathews ed schultz, and larry o’donell to hammer the (gipper comparison) all next week.

I think George Gipp was laying in bed dying of Consumption when he said that. So maybe
there can be a resemblance after all…/just saying!
(what a dope! he knows so little about the country)
oh and as far as Obama and comparisons to God: what do you think “Saved and Created”reference to jobs,was all about?
To me, that is kind of a messiah complex.

Redwine commented:

Barry Hussein probably doesn’t know what it means or the context of doing one “for the Gipper”. He just thinks it brings him closer to Ronaldus Maximus.

Barry is just a chameleon, not unlike Woody Allen’s Zelig whose psychological affliction made him assume the appearance of different historical personalities or within different historical contexts. No wonder he’s hiding his records at great cost. The real Barry Barack Hussein Davis Dunham Soetoro Obama is a real psychotic freak show.

Just when you think it couldn’t get any worse, that Obama’s compulsive narcissism cannot possibly reach new heights of delusion, it does.

As an animal lover, I would never engage in cruelty against the innocent, man nor beast, but I swear the next Magic Unicorn I come across, I will gut it with a rusty knife and strangle it with its own entrails, and force-feed the malformed Skittles in its womb to Ezra Klein. In the most humane way possible, of course.

Couldn’t even get the Gipper reference right. He says he asked Gibbs to “take one for the Gipper”, thereby conflating “take one for the TEAM” with ” win one for the Gipper”. Cripes, he needs a TelePrompTer just to get a cheap farewell story delivered correctly.

Just did my taxes. F Obama, I’m rich now so the wife and I are getting hosed.
Combined income of 90k. Yup that’s rich.

I voted for Reagan twice. Obama is the polar opposite.

#36 I thought the same thing.

It’s “Take one for the TEAM” and “win one for the Gipper”.

No “I” in TEAM, though.

Narcissist much?

Wish one of the reporters would have stood up and, similar to Lloyd Bensten during the Dan Quayle debate, say:

“Mr. President, I served with Ronald Reagan,
I knew Ronald Reagan,
Ronald Reagan was a friend of mine.
Mr. President, you’re no Gipper!”

No way. . never will be. . . Polar Opposite to Reagan, so they should add

“And Speaking of THE Gipper, Mr, President, we just celebrated the centennial of Reagan birth, how would you compare what he stood for and did to your policies and actions?”

As #13 said “Welcome Back Carter!!!!”

This man Obama, seems to have “multiple personalities”.

1) Obama was Franklyn Roosevelt, Time Magazine published a photo of Obama TRYING to look like Roorsevelt.

2) Then Obama was the SECOND John Kennedy, they TRY to picture him like Kennedy….. even his wife Michelle, they TRY HARD to make her look like Jacqueline Kennedy.

3) Then, if I am not mistaken, Obama was another Abraham Lincoln…

4) AND Now Obama is another Reagan?……

WHEREE IS OBAMA? HE WANTS TO BE BE SOMEBODY ELSE EXCEPT OBAMA?……

THIS MAN HAS MULTIPLE PERSONALITIES…

There is a clinical description for people who portray themselves as others. They fantasize and end up actually believing they have have experienced what people better than them have accomplished. Then tell stories of other’s accomplishments inserting their names in the narrative.

It’s interesting how often Øbowma’s image appears as a definition in a dictionary . . . check out “worthless,” “shallow” (2nd meaning) & “charlatan” for only three examples. This pimple of maggot pus isn’t fit to clean field latrines on Reagan’s ranch, much less suggest the slightest resemblance to the former President.
