His supporters have called Barack Obama the most intelligent president ever, the most handsome president ever, the most athletic president ever, the most charming president ever, the greatest orator ever, and now to that list of distinguished achievements we can add most modest president ever.
Politico has the unassuming, unpretentious untruth:
On a conference call with hundreds of organizers, volunteers and campaign operatives, Obama played up the threats posed by Republicans to his agenda while boasting of “hav[ing] had the most successful legislative initiative of any president over the last 50 years.”
The call was the culmination of a day-long roll-out of his re-election campaign, which began with the 5 a.m. release of a video entitled “It Begins With Us.” That was followed by an email to supporters, the filing of re-election paperwork with the Federal Election Commission and a more exclusive rally-the-troops conference call with top donors conducted by campaign manager Jim Messina.
“I’m fired up, I don’t know about everybody else,” Obama said after being patched through by the White House switchboard to a core group of campaign workers that pulled off an upset victory over Hillary Rodham Clinton in the Democratic primaries nearly three years ago and went on to defeat Republican John McCain.
We think he misread the teleprompter again. We’re pretty sure he meant to say, “I should be fired.”

y'all need to pay more attention and stop allowing yourselves to be fed ridiculous and loathsome lies and then spewing them back out in some comment section following some ridiculously spun story. If it sounds to far-fetched to be true, it probably isn't. Marxist? Communist? Kenyan? Illegitimate? Spawn (or "sin"??) of Satan. My heavens just listen to yourselves. You should feel beyond shameful and disgraced. Thanks and have fun
Yeah....Steve-Barakeh-Barack-Barry-Hussein-Soetoro-Soebarkah-Obama-or, (according to SS# Harrison J. Bounel) or whatever his name is has been very successful at bringing down American traditions and destroying freedom for all!
pride goes before a fall. He sounds more like carl marx, the american people need to watch out for him and the fed's
Go on then, just thumbs-down this comment and don't bother to ask yourself why you're willing to forgive obviously shitty journalism as long as the stories agree with what you already think you know. It doesn't matter that they got the facts wrong, because when you get down to it, you know in your heart that Barry really IS a complete egomaniac, and the question of whether he actually said the quoted phrase or not, well, that's beside the point. Right?
For a site that complains about misleading journalism and media bias so much, you sure don't seem to be all that interested in reporting things truthfully. You know that quotation marks are supposed to indicate that the person actually said the quoted words in the quoted order, right?
Having the most "successful legislative initiative" is not the same as being the most "successful president" and I'm not sure why you felt the need to lie about which of these two things the president claimed.
Barry is the worst ILlIGITIMATE President ever.If the republicans do not have enough guts to fight himm and do what they were elected to do in the midterm elections he will ruin the country as we know it .Of course his COMMUNIST thugs and he as a COMMUNIST want this. Why after it is obvious that he is a COMMUNIST would any of the IDIOTS want to vote for him, Hopefully it will be proven by then he was born in KENYA AND ALL HIS crap THAT WAS PASSES WILL BE THROWN OUT.
Check it out! The guy in the blue suit's thumb is bigger aroung than Obama's neck. And Obama is 10 feet closer! What a sissy. That's what never having a hard day's labor in your life will do to the female body. Pitiful
Bill Clinton must be grinding his teeth. Let's see how long Billy Jeff's ego can take this before he goes on the offensive.
What a total asshat.
The Democratic Party is going to do the worst thing in American history. We are in three wars, the last started by Barack Obama, putting off the budget for 2-1/2 years and now the Democrats do NOT want to pay the military for not doing their job last year when they had control of the House, Senate and Presidency. Pathetic!
