RNC Chair: Obama "is not real anymore"

[highplainsdem]

Source: CBS News

(CBS News) Four years after the nation enthusiastically embraced his presidency, President Obama's brand is broken, according to Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus.

"I think Barack Obama's not real anymore to the American people," Priebus said on CBS' "Face the Nation" from the site of the Republican National Convention in Tampa, Fla. "At the top of the [Democratic] ticket is a man who sold us a bill of goods and delivered on very little."

Voters, he added, are "starving for real authentic people that make a promise and keep a promise."

As the Republican convention gets underway this week, Priebus and the GOP are tasked with convincing voters that Mitt Romney is the candidate they are looking for. The focus of the week, Priebus said, will be "telling the Mitt Romney story."

Delusional...

[wordpix]

1. any delivery of "very little" is thanks to your party's obstruction, Rinsed Penis

geesh

Have fun in the hurricane

[nanabugg]

32. "Real" like Romney or Ryan??? No thanks! nt

[ewagner]

52. Really Reince?

Romney and Ryan are "real"....

[alp227]

91. Rinsed...what...?

Are you sure Rick Santorum didn't hack your DU account? And it's not exactly an anagram, as there's no C in your anagram.

[NeverEnuff]

2. Romney

Is he suggesting that Romney is real and authentic? What a ridiculous statement.

[Frustratedlady]

5. I haven't really followed Rince (sp?) very much, but...

what few answers to questions I HAVE heard have made absolutely no sense. It's like he isn't plugged in at all.

At first, I thought he was too overwhelmed, but the comments he brings up himself during a conversation make absolutely no sense and often aren't even relevant to the subject they are discussing. It's like he plugs in afterthoughts when they pop up.

At least Steele can be interesting. They probably should have kept him.

[nc4bo]

3. Wasn't it Republicans who claimed Obama was the messiah?

Gotta scratch my head at this one but I could have sworn the Pubs were in full meltdown-tantrum mode, tossing poo everywhere.

[Voice for Peace]

4. cuckoo at the convention

[highplainsdem]

19. this one might be more appropriate

(skip to around 30 sec)

[BeyondGeography]

6. Dear foot stamping children of the Right

President Obama is real.

[Third Doctor]

7. So the Mitt Bot

is a legitimate person?

[Viva_Daddy]

8. What else is "not real" to Republicans? Climate change, evolution, women's rights, etc. etc.

[FightingIrish]

9. That's hillarious given that his candidate comes off like a mortician's masterpiece.

Rancid Pubies will soon be looking for a real job.

[goclark]

30. Love it!

Mitt ....comes off like a mortician's masterpiece

[justabob]

33. it is true

though sometimes I see Romney as a talking Ken doll.

[liberal N proud]

10. Rinse Pinis must be taking drugs causing him to hallucinate.

[waddirum]

73. I thought it was Rancid Prepuce

but maybe that is too cruel.

[Flashmann]

11. What's not real

To these bastards,is.........Reality....

[Mponti]

12. Is he just an intern?

[Tom Ripley]

44. Nicely done!

Very nicely done.

[reformist2]

13. Obama has 50% approval. I'm so tired of the partisan garbage.

I don't mind them being partisan - but back it up with reason or fact. Don't just make stuff up.

[Zorro]

14. If Reince Priebus was my given name

I'd give it back.

Doesn't sound like a red blooded 'Murican name to me.

[Tom Ripley]

31. It's actually Reinhold Reince Priebus!

[The Wizard]

42. Reinhold Reince

or whatever the fuck's his name. His parents must be SS. He does have some Goebbels characteristics. Reinhold Reince, really? His parents should be charged with child abuse. His peers must have beat the shit out of him in school.

[Tom Ripley]

43. I suspect he longs for "the good ol' days" when the folks were volk

[ElboRuum]

57. Fun fact!

An anagram of his name is:

Irreducible Rhino Peens.

[wordpix]

72. with a handle like that as a kid, it's no wonder

he's messed up

[frazzled]

15. First he wasn't American; now he's not even "real"

Just a figment of our imaginations, eh?

If anyone is lacking in "authenticity" it's their candidate. Romney can't decide from moment to moment what he stands for; he says anything he thinks will sway a few voters in the moment, even if it contradicts everything he's said and done before. Then he denies he said it.

Sheesh, these people are desperate.

[daleo]

58. You are on to something

After the Birthers will come the DNAers. It's all about dehumanizing Obama.

[rurallib]

17. authentic people like Ann and Mitt Money

and Richie Rich ans Scrooge McDuck and Mr. Moneybags and Thurston and Lovey.
real people.

[Botany]

18. Rinse Penis ..... Please

the night of his grandmother's death






My fav .... stepping on Michelle's dress he gets the stank eye

[Voice for Peace]

20. that's a perfect response.. just a few pics

Obama's as real as human beings get these days.

[xtraxritical]

34. Great post bupkus, I wish I could say it so well.

Pusillanimous, prevaricating, duplicitous, flip flopping Romney. Or, what a douche bag, brain dead, silver spoon out of touch fuck wad.

[wordpix]

86. lol, Rmoney looks like he's gonna fall apart in that pic

"I never knew an election like this would be such hard werk, even with my billionaire friends helping"

[SoapBox]

26. Love the pics

Thank you...please continue to post.

[Cha]

47. Thanks Botany! There's a pic

around that has PObama and Bo riding INSIDE the car!



That REAL, MF, Rince.

[Botany]

59. Or when this girl visited the White House w/ the Baylor Women's B. Ball Team

He made a point to get down to look at her face to face and reach out and hold
her arm ...... the most powerful man in the world and he humbles himself to make
that little girl feel good about herself.




Meanwhile Romney has trouble w/what to call a dough nut. And Rinse Penis talks trash about Obama?

Any other candidate .... man / woman / dem /gop / black / white / hispanic / gay / straight / .....
would have reached into his wallet and given the owner $20 or $50 and bought a bag of them
and given them to his or her staff or the press or just strangers but good old Mitt was clueless.

[Cha]

63. I can see it all in the gop war room..

mitt's a fucking fake so let's lay it on Obama. We're MF who don't have any ideas much less brilliant ones so we'll blame all mitt's stupid shit on Obama. Yeah, that's the ticket.

[GigiMommy]

65. Rinse Penis (ha ha ha ha ha...)

[chowder66]

21. Penis Panic (Mass Hysteria)

....These panics frequently, but not exclusively, occur in places where access to education—particularly in science and human biology—is limited, or otherwise restricted (for example, when government policies restrict such education)."

[Manifestor_of_Light]

75. M&M Party (Millionaires & Morons)

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=M%26M%20Party

[chowder66]

85. If you are not super rich and vote Republican you are in the moron faction of the M & M Party!

funny and true.

[TheCowsCameHome]

22. Wash, Reince, Repeat - Wash, Reince, Repeat

Blah, blah, blah.

[Iliyah]

23. He is not REAL anymore?

Does he mean not a real boy like in that Disney movie? Please GOPpers, study your talking points like good brain washed assholes you are and if this is an exact word used by the GOP party, they need to go back to the drawing board. This is the party besides hating everything else, hates education????

[SoapBox]

24. Rinse Penis...STFU!

...lying SOB...I hate this filthy weasel.

[tridim]

27. Another day, more RNC PR BS

I can not freaking wait until Obama beats these idiots in November.

[kestrel91316]

28. More projection from the RW, because they KNOW Rmoney is made of plastic.

[bushisanidiot]

29. Republicans deny reality every time it is presented to them.

The rnc chair's words are another example of how the republican party chooses to invent their own version of reality rather than to seriously deal with the country's problems in a productive way. It's time for the republicans to stop obstructing America's recovery and move out of the way.

[xtraxritical]

35. Bring on the debates!

Show us the tax returns like your daddy told you to, Mitt shit.

[elbloggoZY27]

36. NOT REAL !!

The Republican Party, Fox News.

That's what is not real.

Number 1 is that the GOP Agenda is about unreal as you can get.

[truthisfreedom]

37. Not real to who? Women? Who find the repukes to be completely fake? Blacks? None of whom will

be voting for mittens? Latinos? None of whom will be voting for mittens either?

What a bizarre statement. Obama is the realest President we've ever had. If this is a KKKarl rovian act, attacking a strength, we're about to see the most strange campaign in history. Obama's got the upper hand, and we're about to watch a remake of The Exorcist.

[Cha]

48. Republicons have a neverending arsenal

to attack Democratic Leaders. Just accuse them of the Failings of the gops and hope no one notices how fucking fake they are.

[yurbud]

38. Republicans promise to feed us to the rich and they DELIVER

[annabanana]

39. pretty funny while endorsing a piece of cardboard candidate...n/t

[denvine]

41. What an ass!

He is very real and amazing how much he has done with the obstructionist repugs fighting him every inch of the way.

[wordpix]

45. what's not real are Rmoney's IRA returns, 100-1000% in a year

[xxqqqzme]

46. The Rmoney story

Are you kidding me? Do we finally get to hear about his missionary duties in France?
His sweated brow working in an office at bain?
His lobby duty in the halls of Washington to get money for the SLC Olympics?
His flip flipping failure as governor of Massachusetts?

Yea, just starving for authentic people....rience!

[Zoeisright]

49. LOL!!! As he stands next to the cardboard cutout

that is Willard "Mittless" R(money).

What a complete douchebag.

[MADem]

50. So sez a guy whose name reminds one of a phrase meaning to wash one's naughty bits. nt

[Island Blue]

51. Dude, your name is Reince Priebus.

Nothing that you say matters.

[greatauntoftriplets]

53. Says robotic Romney?

What a crock.

[PD Turk]

54. 30 years

After 30 years of promises that their goddamn trickle down scheme is going to somehow magically work they are in no position to talk about what's been delivered. Fuck them.

[DallasNE]

55. So Americans Are "Starving For Real People" Like

Akin, Walker, Ryan, Brewer and Romney. Romney's loyality oath has kept Ron Paul from speaking at the RNC convention. That sounds like a "real" person alright. What a big tent, too.

[radhika]

56. The Right Wing GOP vision for America has become very sickening 'real' lately.....

And that's why I'm committed to blocking it any way I can.

Has nothing to do with the merits or demerits of Obama.

[Ken Burch]

60. Then shouldn't they be attacking President Biden?

...oh, wait...

[Turbineguy]

61. And

the Earth is flat.

[Brother Buzz]

62. Project much?

[Jennicut]

64. Actually, Romney is having a problem with "authenticity."

He comes across as fake, having no real beliefs and as out of touch. It might persuade middle of the road voters not to vote for him.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

66. Desperate and scraping the barrel as usual

[get the red out]

67. LOL

rMoney is REAL? On what planet? (Seriously, what planet? Mars maybe?)

[rks306]

68. Timeline can be disputed

GOP took control of house in 2010 with the goal of doing nothing. They have worked about 1 year of the two year term. But, you say they have passed 30 job bills. In all, they were called jobs bills but would produce no jobs.

[truthisfreedom]

69. Wow. I figured it out!

This is absolutely a rovian talking point.

But it's incredibly revealing. Think about rove's usual tactic... attack the opponent's strengths, especially the ones that your opponent has that yours doesn't have. Which means they're afraid that rMoney is perceived as not being a real candidate.

[truthisfreedom]

70. My girlfriend just came up with a theory. We're both atheists, and she shys away from politics, but

when I explained who kkkarl rove is and what he does and how he provided this "talking point" to rinse penis, when I read "I think Barack Obama's not real anymore to the American people," she responded to it by saying "so they think he's god?"

[WallaceRitchie]

71. How many major accomplishments do one man need?

Healthcare reform
Got Bin Laden
Out of Iraq
Ended DADT
Saved auto industry

Just to name a few. Some presidents never achieve that much.

[Skittles]

74. LOL

like repukes have EVER seen Obama as "real"

[aquart]

76. I keep thinking Rancid Penis.

I have terrible pronunciation problems with his name.

[northoftheborder]

77. Prince Rebus, Wrench Prince, Rancid Prancing, Price Rinse, Rinse Prince, Rebus Prebus..........

[Webster Green]

78. More idiocy from opposite world.

Everything they say is exactly the opposite of reality.

[struggle4progress]

79. sez RNC PR BS

[DearAbby]

80. Romney can't even beat a specter of Obama.

What a loooooooooser.

[Solly Mack]

81. lololol

Because a Ken Doll is just so real.

[donheld]

82. This from a man who thinks Rmoney is real?

Sane people know Rmoney is more fake than a $3 bill.

[davidpdx]

83. I have an idea

After the conventions we should have one day where everyone from DU sends a tweet to this twat to tell him exactly where he and his party are going.

Anyone else in?

I'd like to get a few thousand (maybe we can get everyone on DU who sends one to ask two or three friends)

[Javaman]

84. rinsed pubes thinks he's Billy Mummy in that Twilight Zone episode.

Trying to wish Obama away.

[cyberclark]

87. Don't loose sight of the problem; come out of your box!

It was the Republicans that initiated the banking free for all that resulted in our current financial situation. It helped propel a world depression (call it anything you want) and the waves are still pounding the world because of it!

Trade is a its very lowest. There simply isn't one. Even China is is trouble as there is a huge lack of money coming in to their burgeoning manufacturing sector.

The point is, no one is doing great except the Republicans with deep pockets. In Alberta Canada the Conservatives have been in power for more than 40 years and they have corrupted politics like no one has!.

My latest number crunch is shown here:

http://albertathedetails.blogspot.com/2012/08/alberta-putting-aside-fear-what-do-we.html

Obama hasn't had any more chance of changing things than the proverbial snowball in hell. The hurt will continue; less under a Democratic Government than an Republican government who are still practicing Nixon economics. Trickle down doesn't work!

[bamacrat]

88. How can he be real not being an American right?

They will come up with any way to say you can't trust a black man. Veiled racism is still racism.

[FiveGoodMen]

89. They just throw everything at the wall and see what sticks

Unfortunately, in 'Murika, something always does.

[RussBLib]

90. Politics makes some people say some really stupid crap

Romney's entire campaign is built on bullshit. That must be soul-crushing for many Republicans.

[primavera]

92. Maybe, but a promise to send the country back to the 14th century...

... isn't exactly an improvement.
