"Obama's never done one hard thing, and you know it!"

[Left Is Write]

Ed Rogers bloviating on "Hardball" this afternoon.

Where does this idiot get off?

[kwolf68]

1. Yea its really easy to graduate from

Columbia and Harvad and to get a law degree...

[av8rdave]

4. Yeah, being a self - made man just sort of happens on its own, doesn't it?

[phantom power]

15. Yeah, or becoming a candidate for president...

to say nothing of becoming the first black presidential candidate. Anyone can do that shit.
:eyes:

Of course, that's his subtext, isn't it. Obama is the candidate because of reverse bigotry, or affirmative action, or whatever the catchphrase du jour is. Not because he earned it.

[DarthDem]

2. Um . . . Defeat Hillary Clinton?

. . . to, you know, secure the Democratic Party's nomination for - - what was it - - oh yes, President of the United States?

Become a U.S. Senator?

Graduate first in his class in law school?

Rollins = dumb.

[Left Is Write]

10. Is that his name? Rollins? I misheard - I'll correct the OP.

[DarthDem]

17. Dunno, Just Assumed

I'm at work and didn't see it, so someone else should confirm. Ed Rollins is an old Reagan-era West Winger who's bald with glasses and a grey beard. Sometimes says smart things; apparently not today, if that was indeed him you quoted.

On edit: there is an Ed Rogers who is a lobbyist in a firm that Haley Barbag used to be part of. Maybe that's him you saw. Ed Rollins is a Gooper, but he's not that stupid.

[Lorien]

3. His whole career has been one long, hard road

a bi-racial person from humble roots ALWAYS has a tough time in the US of A.

[rateyes]

5. "Where does that idiot get off?"

Arizona, election night, as a loser.

[Raven]

6. Growing up? Studying hard? Working on the front lines? Teaching

Constitutional Law? Thinking things through in a calm, rational way? Oh, that's easy I guess.

[mckara]

7. Getting to Be President of Law Review at Harvard is Easy?

We should apply tomorrow!

[EFerrari]

16. Yeah. Just another Affirmative Action welfare brat.

:sarcasm:

It's going to be so great to see these bastards go down in flames.

[yardwork]

8. Ed Rogers probably couldn't even read the Harvard Law Review if he tried.

Rogers would probably hold it upside down.

[firedupdem]

9. Schrumm kicked his ass!!! n/t

[AlCzervik]

11. Ed is a lobbyist, he's actually a partner in the firm, here's the client list.

And a McCain win will be good for Ed's business.

[Higher Standard]

12. Rogers: Bitter, jealous

Seriously, that's all I could think when he said that. This guy is angry that Obama is accomplishing more with his life than Rogers ever will and that makes him angry, so angry that he will spew whatever nonsense he can to make it seem like he is just as good as Obama.

[plcdude]

13. why do they

bring these nuts on TV because it is about the "show" entertainment and ratings. The question is will the truth be enough?

[musette_sf]

14. these douchebags kiss the asses

of the Rethug power elite who never worked an honest day in their lives.

then trash Senator Obama.... because he is smart and competent.

and of course it's a breeze to graduate magna cum laude from Harvard Law, right?

[dana_b]

18. oh yes

Barack "everything was handed to him" Obama - that's right. :sarcasm:

[Cha]

19. Just because Obama makes it look

easy doesn't mean it is.

[TheKentuckian]

20. and the only "hard" thing McGollum has ever done

was against his will.

[Johnyawl]

21. He doesn't think it was hard beating the Clintons??

If that's so damned easy, how come the republicans couldn't do it?

effing moran!

[AlCzervik]

22. one more thing about Ed, his wife wraps gifts in cash-video here

[kestrel91316]

23. Yeah, because growing up black in America has been such a breeze

for folks like him........
