Dana Perino Accuses President Obama of 'Saying Offensive, Crazy Things' in Budget Speech
Well it looks like we've got another Republican who is terribly offended by President Obama's budget speech; former Bush Press Secretary turned Fox shill Dana Perino. Perino accuses President Obama of "saying offensive, crazy things" in his budget speech, but doesn't bother to fill us in on just what those things were, other than to lie and say that President Obama called the Republicans un-American, which he didn't. I'm sure she thinks that expecting anyone to possibly pay more in taxes is just crazy talk as well, but she didn't bring that up here.
Here's a little reminder for Perino of what the President did say:
Now, to their credit, one vision has been presented and championed by Republicans in the House of Representatives and embraced by several of their party’s presidential candidates. It’s a plan that aims to reduce our deficit by $4 trillion over the next 10 years, and one that addresses the challenge of Medicare and Medicaid in the years after that.
These are both worthy goals. They’re worthy goals for us to achieve. But the way this plan achieves those goals would lead to a fundamentally different America than the one we’ve known certainly in my lifetime. In fact, I think it would be fundamentally different than what we’ve known throughout our history.
Full transcript below the fold.
WILLIAMS: -- in terms of this Republican field, right now the big money is standing on the sidelines. Everybody is holding their powder dry because they don't see anything out there that indicates that any of these guys can beat President Obama.
So what do you see going on? You see Donald Trump rise to the top of the polls. Donald Trump, out there yesterday, talking to Tea Party people.
And they're all talking to Tea Party people now. Sarah Palin, talking to Tea Party people. Pawlenty, talking to Tea Party people. Haley Barbour, talking to Tea Party people. And they're saying crazy stuff.
I mean, how is Haley Barbour going to get away with saying, oh, we shouldn't be involved in the war in Afghanistan? Donald Trump saying, you know what? Those Japanese -- after the tsunami and earthquake, those Japanese have been ripping us off for a long time. These are offensive, crazy things, but they just like to stir it up.
WALLACE: OK. All right.
But let's talk, though -- I'm going to take one of your points -- don't look at me like that.
WILLIAMS: Well, I'm surprised.
WALLACE: I'm going to take one of your points, which is the idea that there is -- people are waiting to see who else is going to jump in.
And I want to address that with you, Dana, because given the relative lack of excitement about the current field, some people are suggesting that -- and let's put a couple of candidates on the screen -- that New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, or Congressman Paul Ryan could get in the race as late as next fall and still have a chance.
Is that possible?
PERINO: Well, I think anything is possible. And I call that the "maybe someone will emerge caucus," because there is not anyone that has really taken fire.
I want to address one thing on the point, though, which is that there is another person in this presidential race saying offensive, crazy things. And that is President Obama, who called the Republicans un-American this week in a speech in which he invited people.
Now, you can do that if you want to make it a hyper-partisan thing. But the poll you haven't shown yet is that 70 percent of the American people, according to Gallup, think the country is on the wrong track.
So, I think if I were President Obama's political team, I would think, wow, we should have had a better week last week than we did. Rising gas prices will continue to dog them, and maybe somebody will emerge out of this Republican field that will be able to catch people's attention and go the distance.
h/t Media Matters
They praised Joe Wilson for calling him a liar during the SOTU. Michelle Bachman calls him un-American every time she calls him a socialist yet not a sound. Sarah Palin gets applause when she accused him of palling around with terrorist. We're talking about politicians. Now if we talked about the teabaggers I'd need space for a novel.
is intended to be a factual statement
'Dixie Chick moments'.......
hypocrisy at its' most absurd.....
No one bothers to point out that President Obama NEVER "called the Republicans un-American this week in a speech in which he invited people." Before we set out to defend his rudeness, let's challenge the accusers to prove it actually happened.
TRANSCRIPT: Remarks by the President on Fiscal Policy
Dana Perino, Paul Ryan, and every Republican/Foxtainer around has repeated this LIE, completely unchallenged by the press, of course. Now less than a week later it's already American folklore.
She's very pretty. The end.
far left loon >.<
It really looks like she should have shopped around a little more for a better plastic surgeon.
cannot cover up stupid.
she had her work done by the same plastic surgeon who mummified Lady Beth McCheney-Mary Matalin. And she's just as credible.
she's not THAT pretty....................................................
and ugliness goes right to the core...
"beauty is only skin deep....but ugly goes right to the bone".
'Talk to the hand'
a direct hit!
"Let's talk dirty to the animals"
"She's very pretty. The end."
Actually, she's not.
Dana Perino WAS very pretty.
There's something about these conservative women that's just not right. Something about all that anger and bile that stews inside them, and starts to twist their faces into permanent sneers. Even when they smile, they just look mean.
Look at the women of Fox News. Some of them started out 'very pretty', but after a couple of years of constant lying and hating, they all start to look ugly from the inside out.
That was my first thought when I looked at the video widget. She used to be very pretty in that "girl-next-door"-ish kinda way. Now she has that "stepford wife"-ish thing going on. Maybe the Fox makeup crew used to do vampire movies or Grand Ol Opry circa 1965...
Botox. Got that Mary Matilin look.
but you just can not trust peroxide whores
I mean since she stopped working down there it reminds me of joan rivers.
Never underestimate the predictability of stupidity--- BulletTooth Tony
What a bunch of sissy-bullies.
They sure can dish it out, but they go crying to Mama FOX the minute any Democrat gives them an answer they don't want to hear.
"Man UP!" GOP.
exactly!!!!!!!!!!
Note ot Dana. Your opinion is not important on any subject. If you weren't blond and attractive you wouldn't even be heard of today, especially on Fox.
Say what you mean. Mean what you say. But don't say it mean.
tough shit.
she is still a liar, and not to be taken any more seriously when Bush's liar than now, as the Rethugs liar.
They complain that Obama is calling them un-American, when he's doing no such thing.
What is the GOP doing? They're:
* running on jobs, jobs, jobs, then they're intentionally trying to crash the economy so they'll win in 2012.
* constantly obstructing any meaningful legislation.
* waging war on the middle class.
* trying to strip Social Security and Medicare.
* representing their corporate masters, and not the flesh and blood people who elected them.
* dumbing down our populace so they can have a cheap source of labor.
* committing election fraud because that's the only way they can stay in power.
* calling the President a Kenyan Socialist Muslim that hates white people.
If I were Obama, I'd be bitch-slapping these fools daily, and REALLY call them out for all the un-American things they do.
..."bitch-slapping" from this President. Expect "Compromise" and you won't be disappointed.
Mickey: "It was an epiphany. Do you know what an epipany is?"
Keoni: "NOT NOW MICKEY!"
i think the crazy shit people like dana are paid to say works much better without over the top cosmetic surgery. kind of "gives away" the crazy.
she was such an attractive woman- even for a fascist. now she looks like the love child of Jody Weis and Jocelyn Wildenstein. (she really does look a lot like weis now- former fed and chicago pd boss)
I'm convinced people like Perino all drink the idiot kool-aid.
They talk, march and act in lock-step. Even when Obama gives their plan the lightest criticism, they're out there screamin' "He's pickin' on us, Ma". If it was me, I would have looked Ryan square in the eye and said, "This plan sucks. Lotsa luck getting it past my veto" and walked out.
Between Obama's bipartisan courtesy and the Blue Dogs that suck Republican ass and the other Democratic legislators who need to grow a pair, very little is going to be accomplished over the next two years. We are definitely going to be in deep sh*t.

This is my guess as to how a Republican strategy meeting goes-
"Call the president an unAmerican, Islamic Radical Terrorist Sympathizer until it's considered completely normal for our party to do so. When the president says WORD ONE in opposition to us, or presents any regulation, no matter how pathetically weak, pretend it is APOCOLYPTICALLY HARD-HITTING. The media, in the interest of neutrality, will go along with it, and the middle of the two positions will lie between his centrism, and our insanity."
Gotta admit, it's a pretty good strategy.
And talk about his "failure to lead" as frequently as possible. You can also say "we need someone who is willing to lead". Just be sure to use the word "leader" in negatives terms always when you speak of the President.
If you have a drinking game and drink every time you hear someone on the right using those phrases, you won't make it through the day.
Say what you mean. Mean what you say. But don't say it mean.
"You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means"
Remember what the visitors on V called the one at the top? (trying to avoid invoking Godwin this early in the morning)
Authoritarians have a different definition of "leader" than is good for society, and the R's and their (if it's possible to be more insane) lunatic fringe of the Tea Party are nothing if not equal parts trying to find a "Leader" and trying to be sheep for the one they find.

I would never deny your free speech right to voice your opinion no matter how wrong you happen to be. However, you might want to lay low on the anniversery of the Bay of Pigs invasion lest anyone be reminded of your notable level of ignorance:

She has since said she was just kidding when she said that. She said it was all a joke and no one should have taken her seriously.
I doubt that very much.
Say what you mean. Mean what you say. But don't say it mean.
She said she was just kidding but that is nonsense. She did not know. She just did not.
Now, in the big picture it is not that big of a deal but for the spokesperson for the President of the United States of America not to know what the Cuban Missile Crisis was, that is incredible. Crazy. Now tell me why anybody should listen to her of ask her what her opinion is.
spewing her shrill, bubble-headed BS and lies. Where is my apology?
Oh brother, here's this woman who was the mouthpiece for the worst administration ever and is the main reason we're in this situation whining about gas prices??? Good lord! And don't ya just love the fair and balanced panel on Faux news? Gee I wonder why you can't get the good dem guests Mr. Wallace? Hmmm, that's a real stumper. And that little slight of hand where Wallace says, "some say, that maybe some others will emerge in the race, like, oh well, here's pictures of two of them that we just had laying around the office of Mr Christie and Mr. Ryan." that was real subtle Chris. Guess you really admire them cutting taxes on rich people like yourself and making the poor pay more.
"Don't feed the sociopaths"!
... is that the worst he hurled at them?
I am disappointed in Obama as always.
He should have just called them fascists and liars.
"Why don't you love me, you b!*ch! I burned your house down for us!"

said women can get PAP smears at Walgreen's and used "Teen Suicide Coincides with Obama Visit" as a headline. They don't even try anymore. Hardly surprising.
I've seen some stuff, man. And some thangs...
The left had better wake up on th national debt issue at least a little bit. It's a lot more important than they acknowledge and here is partly why.
This hasn't happened before here in the US people, if the world loses faith and starts dumping dollars you can kiss most of our social programs goodbye. Buy hey, I've been saying this might happen for years and few on C&L have cared.
Goodnight, Frau Blücher
As a follow up, I thought I'd check the bond market, sure as shit, it's dropping as is the stock market.
Dollars are being dumped
Goodnight, Frau Blücher
So Señor Rage, if you had some cash where would you stash it? Land? Gold? Euros? Yuan? Silver?
I have already put my money in gold and silver and I'm not disappointed. If real estate drops another 20%, I think it will, then I'll be looking at land. After the economy paints a clearer direction then maybe Yuan on growth but not yet.
Goodnight, Frau Blücher
Perino is a joke
I never said she wasn't
Goodnight, Frau Blücher
Paying down and off the DEBT and DEFICIT and the GOP, RNC, Republicans, T Publicans, refuse to pay the debt and deficit off. None of their announced PLAN (s) focuses spending cuts (Their favorite, tool for resting old south States Rights, away from the Federal Government and weakening Democrats strengths).
Revenue; TAX ENTITLEMENTS, have to be changed and raised to coincide with Spending Cuts. We must raise revenue and invest in our future, this cannot be a stagnant vision and way forward and up, we must raise our future, not cut it back and use a Republicans, Conservative Old South (still fighting the Civil War) excuse, to fundamentally change America.
First: Obama never said anything about Republicans being Un-American, he said and I quote:
"fundamentally different America than the one we’ve known certainly in my lifetime. In fact, I think it would be fundamentally different than what we’ve known throughout our history."
Those who infer insult, like Perino, have what I call "Munckin thinking" not calling her a Munckin, but she thinks and believes like Munckins, look it up, if you don't get my meaning.
Tell the baby's sitting in the front row, gird their loins and buck up, stop the pre-school gaggle responses, this serious business... OUR FUTURE.

We keep squandering the money with nothing to show for it. We've gone through trillions of dollars and it all went to the f***ing banks. So we're hosing ourselves on all fronts, I'd love to support you on that view but it's a moot point at the moment.
Goodnight, Frau Blücher
she really hates Conservatives. She hates them because she is ashamed of what she does for money. She hates them because they are so stupid that they can't see that she is lying to them, that she is manipulating them. The conservative audiences is like that stupid little kid that wants to hang with the popular kids so much that he will take all their abuse with a smile. Dumb Kid, Dumb conservatives.
INSULT PROSTITUTES & STUPID LITTLE KIDS,ISN'T THIS THE SAME B!TCH THAT SAID NO TERRORIST ATTACKS HAPPENED ON BUSHES WATCH,ALONG WITH RUDI,& OTHER FAUXSNOOZE IDIOTS,IF YOU ELIMINATE PEOPLE WHO'VE SAID STUPID CHIT THAT SET WOULD HAVE BEEN EMPTY.
Ummm...
A little early on a Monday morning to be yelling like that, isn't it?
BTW, I agree with you...

How many time have they called Obama unAmerican? How many times has Palin said that Obama hates America? How many times has Perino commented on that? If there is a hell Perino will be rotting there for eternity. Eternity is a loooooooooooooooooong time.
if the Dixie Chicks were to say...
"we are not proud that President Obama is from Hawaii / Kenya".....
they would be Fox media darlings and the right winger/country sales would be through the roof....
..airhead ditz knows all about saying offensive, crazy things:
Perino: "We did not have a terrorist attack on our country during President Bush's term"...
http://mediamatters.org/mmtv/200911240056
What gets me is these right wing grifters like Perino seem to still be ignorant of the fact Google exists.
When Perino served as Bush's propaganda minister, she said at least one offensive & crazy thing on a daily basis.
Somebody needs to e-mail Perino & inform her all her Bush-era bullshit is accessible via a 20 second Google search.
When Fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in excess body fat & carrying a misspelled sign.
Sure looks like it to me. Quick, get her birth certificate.
I wanna see the original long-form, dammit!

no offense, but you got ripped off by your plastic surgeon.
Before enlightenment - chop wood, carry water. After enlightenment - chop wood, carry water.
First thing I said to myself...what the hell happened to her eyes?
keep up with creating the us v. Republican meme please....
More like the Eliot Spitzer challenging the DOJ would be better out of C and L instead of this tired bullshit from talking heads on FOX.
or create a channel on C and L that has all fox posts for people that need to go read and get upset about what the idiots on FOX say.
old and tired
...that stupid bleach-blonde bimbo even blink? (thank you, Mr. Alliteration)
Any more Botox and her face is gonna crack apart.
Just 'Cos You Got the Power...THAT DON'T MEAN YOU GOT THE RIGHT!
Reptoid. They don't need to blink.

This idiot's economic cred is on par with her history cred. Remember the cuban missile crisis?
In this video Mike Wallace's son tries to bring Chris Christie into the race. Christie will not enter the race because he knows that nobody can beat Obama.Some talking heads are saying that Jeb Bush could win. These people are reaching. When Trump is in first place you know you have nothing.
You've exercised your right to freedom of speech on the GOP propaganda network. You can go back to sucking off Bush now.

is intended to be a factual statement
Remember when his Chief of Staff called his base "fucking retarded"?
"Folks, this is not your father's Republican Party."
Joe Biden
What does that have to do with what he said in the speech, genius? What the President said was correct. Cappuccino Parino is the dumb ass in this conversation. Whatever his former Chief of Staff said, had nothing to do with this article.
So her qualification to speak about the current President is her past experience lying for the last President. Isn't that special. A professional liar claiming the President is saying crazy, offensive things. OK I accept those lies, coming from you. BTW, nice face. Stretched pretty tight, don't ya think?
Whiny little butt-hurt Republican crybabies. How pathetic.
former Bush Press Secretary turned Fox shill Dana Perino, nominated by President Barack Obama to serve on the Broadcasting Board of Governors, an agency overseeing government-sponsored international broadcasting.
FTFY, in case anybody had forgotten.
Perino was a lying, Reslug whore for the corrupt Dumbya administration
To be fair, if anyone is qualified to speak of offensive and crazy things, it's Perino.
Who keep certain derogatory words for "woman" from fading out of the vocabulary.
So, on one hand Paul Ryan and others say that Obama said nothing....but others say that he was OFFENSIVE and TERRIBLE....I mean, could these idiots get their stories straight at least?
