During the 2008 presidential campaign Geraldine Ferraro was viciously attacked by the left for suggesting that Obama was winning only because he was a black male. Barack Obama later suggested that Geraldine Ferraro should be cut loose by the Clinton team after making such “racist” comments about him.

The American left hated her for going public with such a controversial statement.

Ferraro later said that the Obama campaign should apologize to her.
They never did.

Today Barack Obama released a statement following the news of her death.
The AP reported:

President Barack Obama calls Geraldine Ferraro a political trailblazer who broke down barriers for women and Americans of all backgrounds.

Obama says his daughters — Sasha and Malia — will grow up in a more equal country because of Ferraro’s career and her ideals.

Ferraro was the first female vice presidential nominee on a major ticket when she was Democrat Walter Mondale’s running mate in 1984. He lost to Ronald Reagan.

Ferraro, a three-term congressman from New York City, died Saturday in Boston, where she was being treated for blood cancer. She was 75.

Obama says Ferraro “fought to uphold American’s founding ideals of equality, justice and opportunity for all.”

  1. As a woman, I can tell Obama to take his fake apology that was written by the teleprompter and shove it where the Saudi King takes aim as Obama bends over.
    *
    Obama totally disgusts me in this Ferraro incident and in this case, the less said the better as then it wouldn’t have come across as being so damn SMARMY.

  2. I guess he figures all the Hopey Changey obots won’t remember. This guy is UNREAL! 2012 can’t come soon enough.

  3. Ha. Palin with a fraction of the staff, no TOTUS, got her condolences out first, untainted by the hypocrisy of a history of demeaning Ferraro.

  4. What a joke.

  5. Obama=Smegma

  6. blah blah blah

    stfu and go away.

  7. Oh, I am going to puke! He is just trying to get votes… he could care less about Ms. Ferraro.

  8. Creep. He reminds me of my ex brother-in-law, who could trash you one minute and then, when he wanted something, turn on the slimy charm in the blink of an eye.

    This guy has no genuine feeling for anyone. Certainly not Geraldine Ferraro.

  9. What a freaking hypocrite!He is one of the biggest misogynists around.I will never forget how he gave Hillary the finger several times and condescendingly told her “You’re likable enough Hillary” Remember all the sexist things he said about her and Sarah?About Hillary periodically feeling down and throwing everything but the kitchen sink at him? Remember the lipstick on a pig comment directed at Sarah?He may have two daughters but he doesn’t care what kind of a world they will grow up in and the way they will be treated.If he did he would stand up for women’s rights and equality.His refusal to call out the Muslim’s degradation and control over females is appalling and by his sexist actions he is not setting a good example for his girls at all.

  10. Sarah Palin and Michelle Bachmann are classy women and show it.It is a very nice gesture of respect and compassion they have shown to Mrs.Ferraro and her family.The leftest shrews and pigs could take a lesson from them.

  11. The obama bots forgot everything.

  12. Professor O’Barry is able to make these stupid remarks becuase his base is made up of gullible, Left-wing, nut jobs.

  13. I think that Soros made the call to vilify Ferraro. It was an ideological ‘hit’ on her character.

    Soros realized that a person who is incapable of making decisions for himself, Barack Obama, would probably be much better at following his instructions than an opinionated person like Hillary Clinton would.

    Barak Obama is a reactive personality. He cannot take the initiative because he cannot form thoughts of his own. He has no imagination of his own. If a speech, or an act, is not scripted for him, he cannot perform.
    .

  14. Obama gives used car salesmen a bad name.

  15. To Leslie @ #9
    I remember one of those “finger” incidents.

    I couldn’t believe that I was watching a candidate for POTUS behave like a petulant teen-aged boy! The audience? Boy, they were whooping it up. But even worse was Obama’s reaction to the crowd’s egging him on. Obama had the bratty look of complete satisfaction a high school punks gets when he’s just shown-up the teacher.

  16. I loathe this scumbag.

    He is a narcissistic, psychopathic lunatic. And anyone that supports him is a danger to the community and should be locked in a rubber room and fed haldol.

    His beard is a fugly, no class skank and I have doubts those poor girls are his.

  17. lmao @ # 16

    And an enthusiastic two thumbs way up!!

    OT..

    We do more in one week than Progressives do all year!

    “…And if the Negro cannot stand on his own legs, let him fall also. All I
    ask is give him a chance to stand on his own legs! Let him alone…your
    interference is doing him positive injury. .. I prayed for twenty years but
    received no answer until I prayed with my legs. Man’s greatness consists
    in his ability to do and the proper application of his powers to things
    needed to be done.”

  20. what’s a “more equal country”? is that one where some are more equal than others?

  21. Ferraro was right. . .

    Obie only got the job though he lacked experience, the same way he got into law school. . affirmative action. . .

    The only race Obie knows is not a competitive race but the one defined by the color of his skin. . .sad. .so sad. . Poor Martin Luther King should be rolling in his grave. . . .this is not what he fought for!

    May Ferraro rest in peace along with Dr. King and that her family be comforted in their loss.

  22. “Obama says his daughters — Sasha and Malia — will grow up in a more equal country because of Ferraro’s career and her ideals.”
    ___________________________________

    Yep, Obama and Ferraro share the same baby-killing ideals,

    so Sasha and Malia won’t have to suffer the punishment of bearing an inconvenient child.

    Sarah Palin, on the other hand, is still a Dumb T—, who doesn’t even know when to abort!

    sarc/off

  23. To MVH,at post #15:

    He even flipped the bird at John McCain one time.When ever he would get p’od at some one he would do that and the audience and the press knew he was doing it.He loved to play women hating rap music at his campaign events like “Got 99 Problems But A B*#ch Ain’t One” even when his wife and daughters were present.That and the film showing his G-D D#*mn America preacher told me everything I cared to know about this man.I am still stunned to this day that he is sitting in the White House after everyone saw just what kind of person he is and all the extreme leftists he has hung around with all his life.This is a nightmare.

  24. I don’t think I can top #16 so I won’t try. All I can say is that this socialist America hater needs to be shown the door and he can take his inexperienced ultra left wing Harvard/Princeton/Yale grad buddies with him, and the sooner the better.

    No matter who the GOP puts up for President, I will campaign for him/her as much as I can.

    To paraphrase the unionistas: “hey, hey, ho, ho, Barack Obama has got to go!”

  25. Um, this is Harvard educated man?

    ““fought to uphold American’s founding ideals of equality, justice and opportunity for all.””

    The founders of the country never mention ‘equality’ as far as I researched.

  26. Blah Blah Blah says the lunatic Hypocrite-in-Chief who’s mother was ‘punished by a baby Barry aka Steve Dunham’.

  27. The lunatic in chief had a floosy for a mother.

  28. this PO$ can shove that lame statement. I was a hillary clinton supporter, and this loser utterly destroyed geraldine ferraro, called her a bigot, a racist….. oh he did it very slyly…. he compared gerri to his racist mentor Rev. Wright, and then the ENTIRE Obot lame media went after Gerri Ferraro. (just watch on youtube how the Obot team destroyed Gerri, just watch the news coverage, essentially the Obot campaign)

    The man disgusts me, I cannot even stand looking at him or listen to his lies anymore. I was no fan of Bush, but Bush seemed to always respect women, and I am pro-choice, but abortion is not the be all and end all of equality of women, and respect for women.

  29. obama has no past, be it thirty minutes or thirty years.

    The immoral media sees to that.

  30. obama bin laden is really osama bin laden with a shave, a haircut, and the removal of his head kerchief. Put the pics together and you will see. It’s one and tha same person. One vanishes into nowhere in 2001 while the other appears out of nowhere in 2001. Watch them both in video and see from behind how they both walk with an identical gait.

  31. Barry is the biggest media whore there ever was. Why anyone would care about what
    he had to say about this woman bewilders me. I have no desire to chew glass.

  32. The man stole the democrat party for his own gain and for the ‘USA NEO commie political party’.
    He’s peeved alot of off people in the Old world dem REAL DEM party, especially the big money guys. I’m not dem but I do know he has peeved off the core of the old dem party. Wait and watch what they’ll do to him.

    If he ran on his REAL party ticket, he would not have gotten elected. The same with those in congress posing as Dems who are really from the “New Communist Party of USA”.
    Any Dem who knows what’s going on has already jumped ship.

    I am pro life and unaffiliated. Both parties are corrupt now thanks to Soros. Shake them down.

    And for those who don’t know about communism obots…..it only serves those in power. So don’t go thinking you will gain anything from it. Far from it. You will lose. You will be required to work where ever they tell you to.

  33. Empty words from an empty suit.

  34. ogee #34

    You are so right! A lot of people who are kissing his bottom is wanting favors. They do not understand that they will be the first to go! Communist do not know what loyality is.

  35. Obama says his daughters — Sasha and Malia — will grow up in a more equal country because of Ferraro’s career and her ideals.
    —————
    He said the same of Hillary … to her face … and to the nation … at the “unity” rally in NH just after Hillary threw in the primary towel. A real schmuck, as the remark was inappropriate for either occasion.
