Obama: ‘I’m Sort of a Prop in the Campaign’

Nov. 4, 2012 12:10pm Madeleine Morgenstern

President Barack Obama said Saturday night he’s become “a prop” in the campaign and that it’s now up to his supporters to see the election through on Tuesday.

“I was backstage with David Plouffe — some of you guys know he’s, you know, sort of a mastermind of campaign organization. We were talking about how, as the campaign goes on, we become less relevant,” Obama said during a rally in Bristow, Va. “I’m sort of a prop in the campaign. He’s just bothering a bunch of folks calling, asking what’s going on. You know but the power, the power’s not with us anymore. The planning, everything we do, it doesn’t matter because now it’s all up to you.”

“I’m sort if a prop”….this might be the first honest thing Obama has said in this entire campaign! Yes, indeed, he is a prop, a scam. a fraud, and a Marxist. All nicely dressed, neatly packaged, teleprompter scripted and delivered to you with the Far Left agenda of the international Left. From the Marxist center of Chicago : the Weatherman Underground, the SDS, and the so-called ” social justice” school of hi-jacked Christianity . NOBAMA 2012

  You’ve got it right, that’s the first honest thing he’s said. He’s just the puppet for the cabal, and he’s got to know it. He’s the puppet out for the public to see, there’s a whole cabal behind the scenes who are out to destroy the Constitution and the Freedom of the American people. He has to know how expendable he is, if he’s re-elected, then can’t run again!

Obama is a prop and it is others that control the country. That is why he gets caught with his pants down so much. Other people run the country while the Obama’s party. That is their job,

That is why he does not attend security briefings. That is why he thinks the Middle East problem is a video and not his policies. That is why he does not hold press conferences. That is why he is not allowed to say anything unless it is on a teleprompter with his handlers thoughts and words.

Obama is just as clueless off prompter as Byden, Obama is just better at keeping his mouth shut.

The person who we think is president is not the person running the show.

For whatever it’s worth, these are my thoughts. A president can only have 2 terms. Obama knows this so for the first 4 years he had to keep the democrats and liberals happy in order to get re-elected for a 2nd term. He gave them everything they wanted to assure himself that they would vote for him come re-election. I truly believe that if he wins another 4 years he will be going after “all” of us since he will no longer need to keep anyone happy. He doesn’t need to worry about being re-elected. He can just push forward with his agenda and not worry about upsetting either side. He is definitely not finished destroying this Country. He has a lot more he wants to do. It’s just incredibly sad that the democrats and liberal have no clue what this man is all about and unfortunately they will learn when it’s too late. Am I wrong?

  Obama double crossed the globalists of the Luciferian New World Order when he did not allow the Keystone Pipeline to be built.
  The secret service members that got fired for the sex scandal was a cover up for something else.
  Obama does not trust the Secret Service that is suppose to protect him.
  Obama is one and done.

  He already promised Putin that he can be “more flexible after the election” when he didn’t think anyone was listening. How many other such stealth promises has he made to our enemies that we don’t know about. I agree, he has his own agenda and it has nothing to do with is political party. They are just a vehicle to be used. A means to an end.

  Hi Progressiveslayer,
  
  Take a closer look at the billy-club. Notice the curve? After viewing many videos of this guy I found out that he is left handed. A left-handed person would hold a billy-club in his left hand.
  
  I’ve taken still shots of that club he’s holding and blown them up.
  
  It’s a short sword and not a billy-club.

  Hey here’s the important stuff the regular polls dont show ——–
  THIS is why they dont reflect reality on the ground.
  
  Parsing the Polls – If Gallup is right, Tuesday will be a long night for the Democratic party.
  http://www.nationalreview.com/articles/332386/parsing-polls-michael-g-franc#
  
  “If you are keeping score, in slightly less than four years President Obama has presided over an eleven-point decrease in his party’s standing with the American people, 15 points if you include those voters who “lean” one way or the other. ”
  
  In other words Barry The Boy-King is running his party into the ground and nearly 15% have
  defected. This also means that most of the polls are so over-sampled toward DEMs its ridiculous.
  Party affiliation in 2012 favors Republicans by +4

That’s right Obama. We the people are the government. You were suppose to represent us but all you have done is to try to start a race war between people. You tried to eliminate small business with your class warfare against the people. You have taken sides with the Muslim Brotherhood and Islamic terrorists to replace the Constitution with Sharia Law. Every step you have taken since you were elected POTUS has been to destroy America. In two days America is going to send you back to Kenya where you were belong.

  Well said.
  
  And it will be interesting to see Obama’s reaction to the inevitable subpoenas, AFTER he’s out of power.
  
  Congressman: “Mr. President, what order did you give on 9/11?”.
  Obama: “I refuse to answer on the grounds it may incriminate me.”.

It’s odd what obama chooses to converse about. I’ve never heard him say “I was talking to the jobs czar” or “I was talking to the interrogators at Gutmo” or “I was talking to one of our longstanding allies” or anything else other than his campaign. It’s always about the scam..
