(8,747 posts)78. He could be comparing President Obama to Hitler...
General George S. Patton stated in his pre-D-Day speech:

And when we get to Berlin I am personally going to shoot that paper hanging son-of-a-bitch Hitler.
They used this quote in the movie Patton, thought not in the speech at the beginning of the movie.
EDIT: Also found this on Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paper_hanger_%28Mundelein%27s_speech%29
In his Paper hanger talk to 500 priests of his Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Chicago, at the Archbishop Quigley Preparatory Seminary, in Chicago, Illinois, on May 18, 1937, Cardinal George Mundelein made these observations on the tragic transformation of German public opinion:
Perhaps you will ask how it is that a nation of 60 million intelligent people will submit in fear and servitude to an alien, an Austrian paper hanger, and a poor one at that, and a few associates like Goebbels and Göring, who dictate every move of the people's lives?'
There is disagreement as to whether Adolf Hitler ever worked applying wallpaper or not. John Schimmel, a Wooster, Ohio man who grew up in Transylvania, claims to have known Hitler at the time he was learning the trade.
The paper hanger term was nonetheless pejorative, suggesting a laborer performing a task which required more handeye coordination than intellect, and one who offered ersatz art rather than original art. This was an ad hominem attack on Hitler's ideas, for he was a published author,[5] and a watercolorist, having produced 5001000 paintings. Accordingly, the term became popular among those who opposed Hitler's ideas rather than among those who endorsed them.
