Obama downplays the CFR and North American Union

submitted by blankfist

1 decade 5 years 7 months 4 weeks ago

"The North American... uh... the, uh, what was it? Union?"

It's amazing how far the gift of public speaking, a little bit of looks and a charming personality will take you. I've said it once, I'll say it a thousand times, the presidency is nothing more than pageantry. When they swear in, I think we should give them a tiara. That aside, this is obviously a dodge. He doesn't want to answer the question, therefore Obama playfully makes light of these "conspiracy theories" in order to belittle the guy's question. Reminiscent of ad hominem, no? A touch?

I know the Sift is predominantly Dem, so believe me this is not a call to arms for all of you to blindly defend this knucklehead because he's Democrat and you're one too. I'm just asking for a bit of critical perspective, please. The CFR is more than just a forum where people talk about foreign policy. I wonder why the need to discredit the importance of the committee? Especially for someone who has gained "a seat on the high-profile Senate Foreign Relations Committee" (per his bio page on CFR.org: http://www.cfr.org/bios/11603/).

And, I hear he likes to rape children. ;)
