Obama Campaign Tries (And Fails) to Explain ‘Revenge’ Remarks

Nov. 3, 2012 10:45pm Becket Adams

President Barack Obama during a campaign speech in Ohio yesterday encouraged supporters to use their vote to get back at Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney, TheBlaze reported.

“Don’t boo, vote! Vote! Voting’s the best revenge!” he said.

Unsurprisingly, the Romney campaign was quick to seize on the president’s “ugly and small-minded moment,” as the Washington Examiner’s Byron York puts is, to draw a contrast between the two campaigns.

“Yesterday, the president said something you may have heard by now that I think surprised a lot of people. Speaking to an audience, he said, ‘You know, voting is the best revenge,’ ’’ Romney said. “He told his supporters, ‘Vote for revenge.’ Vote for revenge? Let me tell you what I’d like to tell you: Vote for love of country.”

As these are the final moments of both campaigns, now is the time to make a rousing and inspiring closing argument. What was the president thinking?

Surely, the Obama camp has an explanation for “revenge.” They do. Well, they say they do.

Apparently, the president’s off-the-cuff remarks were made while he was discussing Romney’s “scare tactics” in Ohio.

The GOP candidate is “frightening workers in Ohio into thinking, falsely, that they’re not going to have a job,” Obama campaign official Jen Psaki said, according to a White House pool report.

“And the message [Obama] was sending is if you don’t like the policies, if you don’t like the plan that Gov. Romney is putting forward, if you think that’s a bad deal for the middle class, then you can go to the voting booth and cast your ballot. It’s nothing more complicated than that,” she added.

Mr. York is quick to note the glaring problem in this supposed explanation:

The problem is, the president was actually not speaking in the context of Romney’s highly-controversial ads about bailed-out Chrysler adding production of Jeeps in China. In fact, Obama had not said a word about the Jeep controversy when he said “revenge.” His speech had touched on Hurricane Sandy, on the progress the American economy has made in the last few years, on his national security accomplishments, on the choice Americans will make on November 6, on Bill Clinton’s record — on a lot of things, but not on Jeep.

Indeed, it took the president six paragraphs after talking about revenge to mention Jeep. Simply put, at no point before telling his supporters to get “revenge” did President Obama say anything about “scare tactics,” Jeep, or false ads.

Final Thought: Considering how close we are to the election, and knowing what we know about the context of the president’s speech, what an odd thing to blurt out. What was he thinking?

The Romney campaign’s message today is revenge, ours is the President’s plan for the middle class.I’ll take that contrast any day.

— Jim Messina (@Messina2012) November 3, 2012

Apparently, words no longer have any meaning and campaign managers expect us to forget things that were said less than 24 hours ago.

Here’s the president’s speech leading up to his revenge remark:

THE PRESIDENT: Hello, Ohio! (Applause.) Thank you! How’s it going, Wildcats? (Applause.) There definitely are some Wildcats in here. (Applause.) You’re fired up! Are you fired up? (Applause.) Are you fired up? (Applause.) Fired up? (Applause.)

Can everybody please give Alicia a big round of applause for the great introduction? (Applause.)

It is great to see all of you! (Applause.)

For the past few days –

AUDIENCE MEMBER: I love you!

THE PRESIDENT: I love you back. I do. (Applause.) I do.

For the past few days, all of us have been focused on one of the worst storms in our lifetime. And everybody in Ohio obviously has been watching the images on TV. We are so saddened by those who lost their lives. We can only imagine what their families are going through, and our thoughts and prayers are with them.

I had a call this morning with my emergency teams, and one of the things that I’ve emphasized to everybody on the East Coast — people all around the country want to send a message, and that is we will stand with folks in New York and New Jersey and Connecticut every step of the way until they have fully recovered. (Applause.) That’s a commitment we’re making to them.

When I make those commitments, I don’t make those commitments just as President. I make those commitments on behalf of the American people. (Applause.) And what’s interesting is, during these kinds of crises, these disasters, as tough as it is and as sad as it is, we’re also inspired because we see heroes running into buildings and wading through water to save their fellow citizens. We see neighbors helping neighbors cope with tragedy. We see leaders of different parties working to fix what’s broken, not to score political points. We see a spirit that says no matter how bad a storm is, no matter how tough times are, we’re going to make it because we’re all in this together. (Applause.) We rise or fall as one nation and as one people. (Applause.)

And that spirit, Ohio, has guided this country along its improbable journey for more than two centuries. And it’s also guided us and carried us through the trials and tribulations of the last four years.

In 2008, we were in the middle of two wars and the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression. Today, our businesses have created nearly 5.5 million new jobs — and this morning, we learned that companies hired more workers in October than at any time in the last eight months. (Applause.)

The American auto industry is back on top. (Applause.) Home values, housing starts are on the rise. We’re less dependent on foreign oil than any time in the last 20 years. Because of the service and sacrifice of our brave men and women in uniform, the war in Iraq is over. The war in Afghanistan is ending. Al Qaeda has been decimated. Osama bin Laden is dead. (Applause.)

So we’re on the move, Ohio. (Applause.) We’ve made real progress these past four years. But the reason all of you are here today, the reason I’m here today, is because we know we’ve got more work to do. As long as there’s a single American who wants a job but can’t find one, our work is not done. As long as there are families working harder but falling behind, as long as there’s a child anywhere in this country who is languishing in poverty, barred from opportunity, our fight goes on. We are not finished yet. We’ve got more work to do. (Applause.)

We’re here because we understand this nation cannot succeed without a growing, thriving middle class – (applause) — without sturdy ladders for folks who are willing hard to get into the middle class. (Applause.) Our fight goes on because America has always done best when everybody is getting a fair shot, and everybody is doing their fair share, and everybody plays by the same rules. That’s what we believe. That’s what you believe. That’s why you elected me in 2008. And that’s why I’m running for a second term as President of the United States. (Applause.)

AUDIENCE: Four more years! Four more years!

THE PRESIDENT: Now, in four days, Springfield, four days — (applause) — just four — four days for four years. (Applause.) In four days, you’ve got a choice to make — it’s not just a choice between two parties or two candidates. It’s a choice between two different visions for America. (Applause.) It’s a choice between going back to the top-down policies that got us into this mess — or the middle-out, bottom-up strategies that have gotten us out of this mess and are going to keep us going. (Applause.)

As Americans, we believe in free enterprise, and we believe in the strivers and the dreamers and the risk-takers who are the driving force behind our economy. That’s how we create growth and prosperity, the greatest the world has ever known. But we also believe that our economy does better, our businesses do better, our entrepreneurs do better when everybody has got a chance to succeed; when all our children are getting a decent education; when all our workers are learning new skills; when we support research in medical breakthroughs and new technologies.

We believe America is stronger when everybody can count on affordable health insurance and Medicare and Social Security — (applause) — when our kids are protected from toxic dumping and pollution; when our consumers aren’t being taken advantage of by credit card companies or mortgage lenders. (Applause.)

We believe in a democracy where everybody’s voice is heard, where you just can’t buy an election. (Applause.) And we believe in politicians that understand that there’s some things the American people can do better for themselves — for example, that politicians in Washington, mostly men, shouldn’t be controlling health care choices that women can make perfectly well for themselves. (Applause.)

For eight years, we had a President who shared these beliefs — a guy named Bill Clinton. (Applause.) And so our beliefs were put to the test. His economic plan asked the wealthiest Americans to pay a little bit more so we could continue to invest in our people, continue to invest in ideas and innovation, invest in our infrastructure. And at the time the Republican Congress and a Senate candidate by the name of Mitt Romney –

AUDIENCE: Booo –

THE PRESIDENT: No, no, no — don’t boo, vote. (Applause.) Vote! Voting is the best revenge.

But at the time Mitt Romney said Bill Clinton’s plan would hurt the economy and kill jobs, it turns out his math back then was just as bad as it is today. (Applause.) Because by the end of President Clinton’s second term, America had created 23 million new jobs, and incomes were up and poverty was down, and our deficit became the biggest surplus in history. So our ideas were tried and tested, and they worked. Their ideas were also tried, and they didn’t work out so well.

  I’ll be glad to not hear Obama speak anymore. For four years when he comes on the TV or radio we turned it off. I have tried to be fair and listen and judge objectively. I can’t take it more than five minutes. He always seems so angry, petty, and dismissive. That may fire up the 35% base of support, but it is beneath the presidency and irritating.
  If he gets his 35% base, and another ten percent, those ten percent must be voting on the belief that their union job will be safe, or their benefits will continue. News…its not Obama’s money – fools.

  Sadly he won’t be going away, even if he loses. Jimmah Carter has been gone for over thirty years yet we still have to listen to him whine. Republican presidents disappear with dignity. Democratic presidents continue to find materials to build an ever larger soap box until the day they die.

We all have or know someone that has been affected by this administration. I did not vote for Valerie Jarret but she has been running the country while Obama golfs and hob nobs with movie stars. We heard him the first time – get revenge and vote him and his Szars out.

  Agreed. The way he talks is enough to drive you crazy. Revenge? Is that how we treat Americans?
  He is NOT fair and balanced about anything and yes, I can see him playing the revenge tactic. He’s a marxist and wants to take us down to the level of 3rd world countries while he reaps the benefits he’s trying to take away from the citizens of this land.
  While we’ve had to buckle up our belts due to the economy, he’s gotten wealthy off this Nation. Look at the money his wife spends on stupid looking clothes. She looked better in Wal-Mart specials.

  Just Like Valarie Jarrett has issued a statement talking about PAYBACK to all who dared to ‘not support Obama”…but they aren’t speaking of REVENGE..you know…like REVENGE…. (or PAYBACK like PAYBACK) …right? I mean it’s “just a silly ol’ saying” right?
  THEY’D never do things like change the LOCKS on the SENATE meeting board rooms so GOPer couldn’t participate in the “PUT IT ON CSPAN OBAMACARE DISCUSSIONS” …right?

Everyone is focusing on Obama, and he must be defeated, but the democrats are no different than Al-Qaeda. You get rid of one and there is another as bad or worse waiting in the wings. Before you libs scream about the comparison between the democrats and Al-Qaeda take a look at the following link and defend your party’s leaders and who they’re cozy with.

http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2012/11/pelosi_holds_secret_fundraiser_with_islamists.html#ixzz2BAW8JcSz

Hopefully we say goodbye to Obama in January 2013 but rest assured the battle is just beginning. And unfortunately we need to clean out our own house of the progressives that have infiltrated it and elect some God fearing Constitutionalists.
My two cents…..

I believe that no matter who wins we’re all going to lose, at least at first. If 0 wins we’re going to see him with his mask off. He does have an army of minions that will follow blindly which equals big trouble for everyone, and I mean BIG trouble. Then, if Romney should win it pretty much comes to the same conclusion. 0′s minions will not tolerate him losing. There will be huge riots at least . And I believe Romney will have to try and survive assassination attempts from the radical left. I really wouldn’t want to be in his shoes. I mean, could he even trust the Secret Service to protect him? Times have changed people. The Constitution is nothing but a scrap of paper to the prog/libs…. unless they need to hide behind it. So many people just pooh pooh the idea of any one of these scenarios because ” That can’t happen here. We live in America”. This is kind of like knowing the day before that Pearl Harbor would be attacked…. but sadly no one will believe you. I’m glad most of my years are gone. I grew up in the real America. At least I’ll have that. BTW don’t be surprised if the internet is shut down or at least heavily censored if 0 wins. Protect your families. Protect the REAL America.

I’ve seen more prejudice out of liberals and people of color than I ever saw from whitey. Lincoln freed people, Obama has once again brought in slavery, slavery to taxes, lowered pride, and free programs that don’t free people at all. The people getting their free rides aren’t going to like Romney cause he’s not all about their free ride. He’s about pride, working for what you get & unity. He’s gonna need our prayers.

This is just like the baloney they were peddling from the 9/12 Rose Garden speech when at the end after talking about the anniversary of 9/11/01 and Obama said “no act of terror will go unanswered” everyone took it as a general remark but the Obama campaign, whoops, I mean the Obama administration (same thing?) said that “act of terror” remark referred to the Benghazi atttack. Obama was clearly referring to a vote for Obama being an act of revenge… amazing how brazen the Obama campaign has gotten in their lies because of how complicitly the majority of the media have been in trying to get him reelected by hiding his flaws and covering his lies.

  there was another great speech giver in the 1930′s that led a Nation to ruin with “His policies”. those policies of his administration were followed by many around the world in the Progressive movement. It was Margaret Sanger (founder) of Planned ParentHood that gave speeches in Germany about the Progressive laws that were being passed in the US, laws that could declare someone incompetent an enslave them in an Asylum for life. And many people followed these same policies. And his name was Adolf Hitler. He also did drugs, cocaine and other special blends made to keep him awake.
  
  Lets prey that we do get to change our course and it not be a violent one, but if it be violent then we will need a lot of resolve to push through to the end.

  Right. Obama is a man consumed with hate for rich, white people. He doesn’t seem to mind rich, blacks, or rich jews, arabs, etc. he hates anyone who hurts his huge ego. The Tea Party got on his nerves all summer, Limbaugh, Fox News.
  He MEANT what he said, there is no doubt in my mind that he meant to say revenge, because we (conservatives) are his “enemy.” He just can’t help himself when he goes off teleprompter. His real thoughts seem to come out and he gets himself into trouble.

The “revenge” comment comes at a perfect time to lose an election – what was Obama thinking? Did he happen to drink from the same cup as Biden? You just don’t say that word in a campaign. There is never a nice context to put that word in. He would not dare use it in reference to the Benghazi raiders, but to exhort his hoi polloi against Romney – it’s just fine.

He and his “style” of governing certainly isn’t what I risked my life for in the jungles of Vietnam!!!!! He’s an absolute disgrace to this country…….and to the office he took an oath for. I can only hope and pray his days in office are short.

Wasn’tbarry the one who said they bring a knife, we bring a gun? Obama leads through threats, divisive tactics, and thuggery. Obama has no honor or integrity. He has taken our country backwards at least 50 years in racial relations alone. Tuesday we the people will vote to get our country back. ROMNEY/RYAN

  that was a really old joke . and the joke was a very racist joke it was about a white guy and a black guy haveing a fight behind a bar. it went just like a blank to bring a knife to a gun fight.

  Sean Connery in the Untouchables explaining how to get Al Capone the “chicago way” they bring a knife you bring a gun. They send one of yours to the hospital, you send one of theirs to the morgue. That is the Chicago way.” Nothing racist about that comment

  Don’t forget a few years back I believe while talking to another group Obama said about voting, (words to the effect) It is time to reward our friends and punish our enemies. Obama views everyone as either friend or foe and plans on big time punishment for his foes (enemies list). Be afraid be very afraid of this person.

Much ado about nothing….thought the comment was fine to quiet the boos…don’t get all the outrage over this (isn’t that what liberals generally do?)…we’ve gotta do better than to feign outrage over a simple ‘campaign’ style remark. Romney’s rejoinder was terrific!

The Romney campaign’s message today is revenge, ours is the President’s plan for the middle class.I’ll take that contrast any day.

Distortion worthy of a true Communist liar. YOUR boy used the word “revenge” less than 24 hours
ago. And you’re trying to blame it on Romney?

I have cleaned my gun and polished my sword. I have a ad feeling he will declare marshal law when he loses. and will try and re write the election.

  This is what I have warned people of for some time – Obama plan is simple, rule all or destroy all, and now that his defeat is at hand, we may see him go for broke and a complete economic scorched earth.

  The truth of Obama has come out once again as with ‘fundamental transformation.’ Not many in AZ have taken the warning given by some democrats of ‘collapsing the economy before handing power to the Republicans’ seriously.
  
  I for one do, and given the ‘revenge’ statements of Congressional Leftists, Obama and the Occupy and other radical followers of his, it can happen all too easily.
