Sen. DeMint: Obama manipulating, 'thinks Americans are stupid'
By Eric Zimmermann - 04/28/10 02:21 PM ET


Sen. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.) had some harsh words for President Barack Obama on Wednesday, accusing him of using the media to manipulate the American people.

Obama "thinks Americans are stupid," DeMint said.

From his interview with Radio America:

The president is the one who put the kibosh on working together, and now he's just trying to use the mainstream media to confuse the American people. The fact is I think he thinks Americans are stupid, and he's going to play this out until he gets a headline in every paper that Republicans are obstructionist. The fact is, he's the one who's obstructing real bipartisanship. :crazy:

DeMint claims that senators were close to a deal until the White House intervened.

"I thought we were moving toward a good bill until Chris Dodd went to the White House," DeMint said.

[BlooInBloo]

[fishwax]

3. lol -- what an idiot

[movonne]

4. DeMint is DeMinted...

[JBoy]

5. DeMint is pissed that Napoleon learned from Waterloo.

[izquierdista]

6. Just the ones like you, Jim

So hard-headed that if you whacked him over the head with a board, the board would get a bruise.

[BlueJazz]

7. "DeMint claims that senators were close to a deal until the White House intervened"

Ah..Yeah...well, the Deal was going to fuck over the American people...as Republicans love to do..

[and-justice-for-all]

8. No, not likely....

However Americans think DeMint(GOP) is a fucking worthless bastard.

[Cha]

9. demint lies for a living so anything out of his mouth

is automatically put in the LIE column.

[Arkana]

10. No, Jim--that's written into YOUR party platform, not ours.

You got them mixed up again.

Oh look, now you've drooled all over this important legislation. Well, let me get a wet-nap and I'll mop you up.

[treestar]

11. In one case, he's right, Deminted,

YOU are stupid.

[annabanana]

13. Americans think DeMint is stupid.

... that is all.

[Radical Activist]

14. Always accuse the other side of what you yourself are doing.

It worked so well for talk radio all these years that Republican leaders are doing it too.

[sakabatou]

15. DeMint should stop projecting himself

[Jennicut]

16. How could Obama put the "kibosh" on something that never happened to begin with? Rethugs never

worked with the President. Okay, once. During the stimulus. A measly 3. And one became a Dem afterward.

Pathetic man.

[Dr Morbius]

17. The party with 59 members in the Senate should not be forced...

... to "make deals" with the party that has 41 members to solve the nation's critical problems.

[CLANG]

19. Right - don't believe your lying eyes...

[jillan]

20. Demint it's YOU that Obama thinks is stupid (not that he would ever say it)

[KingFlorez]

21. Obama once eluded in an interview on Comedy Central he thought someone in the Senate was stupid

Obama might or might not have been joking, but if he wasn't, DeMint stands a 1 in 99 chance of being that person.

[liberalpragmatist]

23. I'm pretty sure Barack was talking about more than one of his colleagues

If I recall, his statement was that with "some" of them, you think about asking them "how did you get here?"

[zulchzulu]

22. Obama is correct about 30% of the population. Thanks, Mr. DeMint!

Jesus told you are an asshole.

[saltpoint]

24. There are disturbing whispers about DeMint's aspirations to the White House.

I hope he never gets close.

This recent quote sounds pretty much like the GOP's strategy of lying, yes, but specifically, lying in a way that blames Obama for the exact behavior the GOP is guilty of.

Recommended.

[old mark]

25. Well, I think De Mint is stupid, so I guess he's partly right....nt

[Zoeisright]

26. No DEMENTed (sic) we KNOW YOU'RE stupid.

And we know you think repukes are stupid. After all, you lead your followers around by the nose and lie to them constantly, and they eat it up with a spoon.

[Phx_Dem]

27. Not all Americans. Just you, Jim.
