Obama Takes Down Hensarling At GOP Retreat (VIDEO)
Rachel Slajda | January 29, 2010, 3:45PM


At today's Q&A between President Obama and House GOP-ers, Rep. Jeb Hensarling (R-TX) asked the president a long question about the budget and the deficit.

Hensarling claimed that Obama had increased the national deficit by the same rate per month as Republicans had per year.

But Obama (who continually referred to Hensarling as "Jim") wasn't having any of it.

17. What the American People Want??

Which Americans are you referring to? The one's who gave the democratic party big majoritys in the Senate, House and voted a Dem in the White House or the party of ignorant racists who have to tune into an alcoholic on the radio to figure out what to think and which meetings to go to to disrupt? The Tea Party is the latest addition of the KKK ... Why weren't you protesting whe bush was wiping out a surplus and running up a record deficit? Let me answer for you. Because glen beck didn't tell you to. Teapartiers are cowards and fake patriots and I truly love your all time greatest quote - "Keep your government out of my medicare." Fucking selfish idiots one and all.

22. 2 Posts? Seriously?

You out yourself after only two posts? What a waste of a user name. How can you expect to sow decent and discord among liberal bloggers if you don't even know how to infiltrate properly? Look here's a hint... We are naturally suspicious of posters with a low post count to start with... it comes from long experience in dealing with idiots like yourself. We are also on the lookout for key words, which are used a lot on sites like free republic, but not here on DU. Most references to socialism are pretty much a dead give away. Contrary to popular belief, the Democratic Party is not, in fact a secret network consisting of spies from the old Soviet Union. Nor are we a devil worshiping shadow government bent on forming a new world order once we've confiscated all your guns...

For the most part we do not lean as far to the left as you lean to the right... we are not extremists. We simply think that our government should help people in need, instead of giving away all our tax dollars to corporate executives who then turn around and say "I got mine, so fuck everybody else."

I hope you get a chance to read this before you get tombstoned... Next time, try to stick around longer... who knows, you might actually learn something... I promise, it doesn't hurt... at least not very often.

34. Not all of us...

... low posters are trolls. Some us just don't have as much time as we'd like to post as often as we want. But I understand the suspicion...

[penndragon69]

35. Absolutly correct!

Many of us low posters don't spend hours a day just reading and K&R n everything on the board.

Sure, i could have a 1000+ rating too if i spent the time just adding kudo's to every message,
but i have better things to do with my time.

We will voice our opinion on important things but we won't waste our time just to get a higher count.

P.S
President Obama ripped the refugs a new one!

[KingFlorez]

3. LOL at Obama calling him the wrong name

You could tell he was very irritated at the canned crap from Hensarling.

[SharonRB]

4. Gobama!

[DFW]

5. "That's factually not true. And you know it's not true."

Of course that Republican low-life knew it wasn't true. He has access to the same data and calculators as everyone else.
But now he'll have right wing "proud of their ignorance" propagandists quoting him from here to kingdom come.

Obama is being polite here as if still talking to a dense student of his that doesn't get it. They get it just fine. They
just want to be seen by their constituents on youtube as parroting the correct right-wing myth of the week. I wish Obama
would just come out and politely say, "Sorry, Jeb, but to quote another member of your esteemed caucus, YOU LIE!"

[fl_dem]

6. they know its not true

but thats not going to stop them from regurgitating it over and over to whoever is stupid enough to listen to them. Such Dumbasses!

[LaPera]

7. Very nicely done Mr. President - Oh the republican assholes (and lies) he has to put up with...

This republican is exactly the kind of guy I'd ask to step outside and I'd say, I'll be happy to give you my answer....

Then proceed to throw the asshole head first into a brick wall several times, then offer him a nice hard powerful roundhouse right to his jaw, which will put him down, then stomp on him as I give him my answer to his bullshit question.

Man, I am seriously impressed with President Obama's patience!

I couldn't do it, I would be having fights with these lying conniving republicans weasels every time they would open their fucking mouths.

[axollot]

33. Isn't South Korea's Parliament the one that always ends in fist fights? Be an MP there lol! n/t

[suzanner]

8. I imagine Obama's head was busy editing out the explatives

which I would've left in. I have to appreciate Obama's superior mind on this one. It's almost as if he should have a blackboard behind him to make diagrams and notes for these juvenile jerks to understand. Great comments and post.

[Ka hrnt]

9. Ouch!

Slapped down!

[Aviation Pro]

10. There was a long bullshit statement and finally....

...a sophmoric, puerile, idiotic question.

The Chessmaster slapped both the question and the little sissy down.

[zeemike]

21. And it was a beat your wife question at that...

And Obama got real with him.

[JBoy]

11. 100 bucks that "Jeb" can't explain the difference between a debt and a deficit.

20. You Cant Spell Republican Without the L, the I, the...

You can't spell Republican without the "L," the "I," the "A," or the "R." Nor can you spell Republican without the "R," the "U," the "I," and the "N."

Try it: *epub***n.

*ep*bl*ca*

:dem:

:patriot:

24. My Pet Name For Certain Sorts of Conservatives

"Grass skirt" conservatives. This has no relation to hunter-gatherer groups in tropical climates; it has more to do after their trousers ignite after extensive fibbing.

[GiveMeFreedom]

12. I wish he could say it!

You're fucking lying Jim (sic) and you know you are a fucking liar.

15. That must have really, really hurt today.

It's rare we get people coming here on their knees begging for a pizza.

[BOSSHOG]

18. I think he/she should stick around for awhile

Its great to have one of them prove our points.

[BOSSHOG]

19. Damn I was hoping the ignorant racist troll could hang in there

for a couple of more posts. That was fun. It was like pat robertson explaining god's intentions, or rush limbaugh discussing his out of country trips. Conservative values galore.

[JBoy]

23. It's funny when you go to "My DU" and see "0 Replies" beside your post.

[8 track mind]

25. now that's the guy i voted for!!!!! n/t

[me b zola]

26. Well done, Mr President

:thumbsup:

[spicegal]

27. I wanted to hear the rest of that. Our worthless media and the Dems should be challenging the

Republicans are their dishonest talking points and assertions.

[donheld]

28. Hensarling should feel like an Idiot

But I bet he's to stupid to understand what happened.

[Turborama]

29. K&R! LOL, he called out Frank "Lutz", too. n/t

[midnight]

30. Just a quick response to those Texas Republicans who share no responsibility

in creating deficit's, but cry foul to Obama's economic proposal and frame it as a tool for creating future deficits, you had your turn for the last eight years. For those who lived through W's reign in Texas know how his spending bankrupt that state, and you probably understand why this republican has more nerve than brains.

[ProgressOnTheMove]

31. They're real fascinating, at least no-one can now say he hasn't met his criticism head on.

At least now he's real up close to the GOP he may, just maybe see they are a lost cause. Although the debate is great for voters to see. They now will understand how unreasonable the opposition have been.

[Celtic Merlin]

32. Good thing that Jeb Hensarling has Affordable Health Care that We, the Peiple pay for.

Because the president just handed that man his own ass.
