Watch Live: Congressional Hearing on IRS Scandal

Did Obama Call the Libyan Situation a ‘Turd Sandwich?’ (NBC Anchor Says ‘Yes’)

Mar. 30, 2011 10:35am Mike Opelka

Don’t call it a Kinetic Military Action!

Yet another neck-snapping moment provided by one of the MSNBC anchors.

Savannah Guthrie was part of the ‘panel’ on Meet The Press this past Sunday and she gave us all one for the video clip file. This was all happening in advance of the President’s Monday night address to the nation.

‘And the President is obviously not happy with his set of choices. One person told me, in a meeting he called this military action in Libya a ‘turd sandwich’ but he was quoting one of his national security aides who likes to use that term.’

If you just want the short clip. . . here is the instant replay of Savannah’s last sentence;

Can you imagine what the reaction if an American president described the situation he faced as a ‘turd sandwich?’ Part of me wants the President to be that honest with the American people, and another part wonders how many of us would be able to handle that much honesty?

In CONTROL, Glenn Beck presents a passionate, fact-based case for guns that reveals why gun control isn’t really about controlling guns at all; it’s about controlling us. Find out more HERE.

  Honestly, most of what this guy does is just that. Perhaps he’s slowly owning up to it.

On top of all of the stupidity, inept governance, patent lying, ad infinitum…..This presidency should be noted for its embrace of profanity. That kind of language may pass “in the hood” but it is a disgrace to the office of president.

It goes nicely with the “dog’s breakfast” he served up Monday night. Which, come to think of it, my dog likes a nice kitty tootsie-roll for breakfast. Now I know what Bolton meant!

Wow, I finally found common ground with Obama: Yes, it is a turd sandwich.

Maybe one of his advisors will remind him that he is the President and, as President, he gets to decide whether or not America has to take a bite out of the turd sandwich.How about pushing back from the table and exclaiming, “No thanks, I’m already full…of it.”

  Obama/TURD = TURD/Obama, Obama=TURD. A TURD sandwich is Hilary Clinton on one side and Bill Gates on the other, with Obama in the middle. Be greatful america, your president is a WALKING, TALKING, TURD. It is so wonderful to be a part of the TURD WORLD.

I would love to have a POTUS that was that honest with his employers. To come out to us, as in US, and state that, and then say, “I’m not gonna eat it” would have been great.

  Actually, the correct saying is: “It’s a great big turd sandwich & we all have to take a bite”. One of my Marine friends uses the saying frequently except substitute turd for a slang term meaning feces which means the same a turd, etc….

  interesting that this is obama’ s war…so everything is “okay”…no complaints from the press, congress etc. no complaints at all…and he can’t bring Bush into this one.
  
  and yes it is war. it was obama’s way of turning control of our armed forces to nato
  and by passing the public, congress etc.
  
  i am concerned that the people we have running our country don’t seem to care to do what is right…only what it takes to get along with obama..
