I dont think it's worth arguing about any more Snipes. If you genuinely think he's so stupid that he would thank himself Ron Burgundy style that's your decision.

In regards to this whole 'he writes for congress' thing though, you simply don't know what you're talking about. He's a pool writer. He writes pool reports. Not articles.

Doesn't matter, he still writes for congress etc...Which is what I said.

He writes about Congress, not for Congress. There's a world of difference. And, frankly, you've been extremely irrational in your arguments here.

You have been successfully trolled Ninja-Hippo. This is the same guy that has claimed J. Edgar Hoover persecuted the civil rights movement because they're were communist. That Obama(a guy that graduated from several of the best colleges in the nation) doesn't know who John Keynes is. And that "the economy isn't improving" even though every economist and economic indicator says that it is improving.

If your logic seriously that a pool reporter wrote a fictitious transcript and then lied to the Telegraph newspaper about what happened because the news organisation which he works for is typically subscribed to by congress, the government, corporations, think tanks, associations and lobbyists?

Where did I say that the Transcript was fictitious and that he lied? The article that used it as "Proof" said it was open to interpretation. Obviously if you support Obama you're going to see it as a "Joke", the fact that the White House hasn't even addressed it is rather suspicious.

I don't get this post. Both Roosevelt are considered amazing Presidents by historians. Theodore as the trustbuster and Franklin as one of the best military presidents that the nation has seen(also the New Deal, even though not everybody approves of it). Then Lincoln often gets the number one spot and rarely falls out of the top 3. Please give legitimate reason that those 3 presidents shouldn't be in the top 10?

The writer of the transcript said it was a joke. You say 'yes but he writes for congress' as if that makes his account unreliable. You assert therefore that he is lying about what happened and his transcript is fictitious. :| The article which used it as proof pointed out that the exact wording of the transcript was open to interpretation; that's why they contact the guy who wrote it to confirm what actually happened.

Just a recap of your argument Snipes: 'Obama is so stupid he thanked himself because of the teleprompter.' In fact he did not. The teleprompter messed up for his guest, and he returned to the stage to thank himself as a light hearted joke. 'Prove it' Ok. Here is a newspaper article from one of the most prestigious papers in the world. The writer has 11 articles all available online which are criticle of Obama, and as such any accusations of bias on his part are irrational. In proving it was a joke, he gets the original transcript of the speech and contacts the man who wrote it, who confirms that it was indeed just a joke. 'Yes but he writes for congress so it cannot be trusted.' If that is your counter-argument i think we are done here.

No, That's an assumption on your part. And saying it's open to interpretation is just that, it's open. There's no one way to interpret it.

Where are the actual statistics for the presidents? They mention the rankings for luck, imagination, etc but I don't see the full rankings on there unless I'm missing something.

I never said Obama was stupid...and I never said the guy couldn't be trusted...In your own article it says Obama uses the prompter as a crutch. Wait, Where did he get the man that wrote the transcript? And if it was in fact a "Joke" why hasn't any of the audio shown up and why hasn't theWhite House commented on it?

Tell you what Snipes, explain to me then what point you are making when you tell me 'yes but he writes for congress'. If you aren't saying his word cannot be trusted because he writes for congress (and he doesn't... >_>) what are you saying exactly? And it isn't open to interpretation. The words of the transcript WERE, that's why the contacted the man who wrote it to ask what actually happened. He confirmed it was a joke.

I imagine the white house has better things to do than deal with the conspiracy theories of obamaphobes like rush limbaugh.

Really? The transcripts written for Cowen aren't in any files and In the Obama transcripts there's no Thank You. How do we know it's a joke if we don't have Cowen's transcripts? He does write for Congress, you said yourself that they read it etc...

The White House doesn't have anything better to do than Address Tea Party members and stuff. Why not this? That man doesn't have the transcript for Cowen, how do we know it's a joke? I thought we weren't supposed to believe everything we read?

If we're talking about the irish Prime Minister and Obama's mix-up with the teleprompter, it was indeed a mistake and Obama did make a joke out of it when he went back on stage. I remember hearing it on Fox.

That doesn't mean he writes for those people. Seriously dude. Just because you subscribe to a publication doesn't mean that publication's journalists are writing for you. They're writing for their publication, which is, presumably, about a topic that you are interested in.

[QUOTE="Snipes_2"] Really? The transcripts written for Cowen aren't in any files and In the Obama transcripts there's no Thank You. How do we know it's a joke if we don't have Cowen's transcripts? He does write for Congress, you said yourself that they read it etc...

I linked you to the pool report earlier which features the full transcript of the whole event. :| The man who wrote that transcript is the man who the Telegraph story contacts to ask what happened, and he reported back that it was a joke. :| :| :| The irrational logic here confuses me; what are you trying to say about congress? You realize that the News Corp isn't even a newspaper, correct?

The man in questions writes for the National Journal which is a magazine for Politics etc...I don't understand the mans transcript because it doesn't include Obama thanking himself, which is odd. Didn't he write it for the whole event?

[QUOTE="Snipes_2"]If you read my other post I said "President, Congress etc.." that includes those other groups. :/

That doesn't mean he writes for those people. Seriously dude. Just because you subscribe to a publication doesn't mean that publication's journalists are writing for you. They're writing for their publication, which is, presumably, about a topic that you are interested in.

So...Video Game magazines aren't written for Gamers? :?

You're refusing to explain what your point even is here Snipes. You claim that when you say 'he writes for congress' (and he doesn't) you AREN'T saying that his account is untrustworthy or unreliable so what exactly are you saying? What is the point of this comment?

He does in fact write for Congress and other Political groups. That's who he has in mind when he writes. I never said he writes only for Congress :?

What are you reading? :| I linked you to the PDF earlier which includes a complete rundown of the whole event including him laughing and thanking himself after the Irish PM's error and the audience laughing. The man who wrote that transcript confirmed it was just a joke. You then went off on some tangent about him 'writing for congress' but still refuse to explain what you supposedly mean by that. I have linked you to a PDF transcript of the whole event written by a man who later confirmed it was just a joke. What more do you want?

You've got to be trolling in this thread. There's no other logic reason for this kind of irrationality. And with that I am done with this. I have better things to do with my time than to go around in circles with someone who won't even attempt to form a rational argument.

Snipes_2

And the media. And business. And corporations. And lobbyists. And pressure groups. That's a lot of people. :| Yet again you refuse to explain what your point even is. What does him working for a news corporation which members of congress amongst MANY OTHER PEOPLE subscribe to have to do with anything?

EDIT: and he doesn't have anyone in mind when he writes because HE'S A POOL REPORTER. :roll:

What are you reading? :? 'When he ended, at 8:12, Obama stepped to the microphone and said, "First, I'd like to say thank you to President Obama...(much laughter). Happy Saint Patrick's Day, everybody." Then we were escorted out.'

I posted the Corporation that he writes for as background. It's kind of strange this is the only thing people pick up on in my posts.

Yeah...Where does it say it's a joke? and the first link you posted of this "Transcript" doesn't actually have Obama thanking himself.
