Linda Rivera: “Obama promised HOPE and CHANGE. The media never asked what frightening changes Obama planned for Americans.”
Uhh, yes they did:
Transcript from September 15, 2008 CBS News interview with Presidential candidate Barack Obama
KATIE COURIC, CBS NEWS: As your campaign begins to get into specifics on proposed policy for an “Obama administration”, I’m sure a question on many American citizens’ minds right now concerning how you might govern, especially perhaps those Americans who are concerned with your proposed policies and plan not to vote for you. So on behalf of these folks, I would like to know, what kinds of frightening changes do you have in store for them?
PRES. CANDIDATE BARACK OBAMA: Katie, that’s an excellent question, and I’m glad you brought it up. You know, uh, there are a lot of ways in which I hope to frighten Americans in the next eight years. Now if you’ll notice, I just said eight years. Right off the bat, uh, I think a lot of people are very frightened by that statement, because it implies not only that American citizens will have to contend with the notion of having a black president for eight long years, and I know that there are many Americans who are truly terrified by this prospect (chuckles). But it also implies that I somehow already know that I am going to win, which is a very frightening implication for a host of reasons (winks at camera).
But to answer your question Katie, honestly, I have a great deal of frightening changes in store for America, in terms of policy especially, so much so by the end of my term, even the most radical liberals will be mortified. That is, uh, the ones who are still alive (laughs). I mean, after I outlaw firearms of any kind, force women to get abortions, and declare myself dictator for life, I think you’re going to see a lot of particularly terrified Americans who are going to just be, you know, looking up to the heavens sort of wondering “what happened to my country?” And I know they are going to be very angry about all this. But fortunately, uh, our incoming administration planned for this, and so I’m proud to say that we’ll be using hundreds of pre-established federal detention centers set up all across the country to detain and re-educate citizens whose acts of fear-induced acts of disorderly conduct could be a threat to national security. But in addition to crapping their pants and basically having the holy bejeesus scared out of them, uh, Americans should also be very pleased to know that by using pre-existing, dilapidated, rat-and-disease-infested facilities to detain disorderly conservative Americans, my administration will be saving taxpayers billions of dollars in construction costs.
COURIC: Well, thank you, Mr. Obama, for your candid response.
OBAMA: My pleasure.
COURIC: (Giggling) And to think, Americans would never have been exposed to the terrifying truth about your candidacy had I not simply asked.
OBAMA: Well, to be honest, no one before you asked me the question. I’m happy to talk about my nightmarish vision for the United States to anyone who is willing to listen.
