Out of Context

From now on, whenever I say something - regardless of whether it is a direct quote, tape recording or video taped message (I make a lot of those) - whenever somebody calls me on it, I'm just going to say, "those comments were taken way out of context."

After all, look how well it's worked for Obama. Whenever Obama gets called (rarely by the MSM) on some ridiculous comment he or Biden makes, the reply is always, "I was taken out of context." Whether it was the "bitter clingers" speech, how we all need to properly inflate our tires, Biden's recent remark about how Obama will face an international "test" within the first six months in office, referring to the rich (people deemed worthy of receiving a tax cut) as anyone making $250k, then $220k, then $200k, then $150k, his comments to Joe the Plumber, Biden's statement on building coal factories, and on and on and on...the response is always, "I was taken completely out of context."

"But we just played your entire statement, dear lord "messiah" (Louie's quote, not mine - and not taken out of context)..."Uh, um, uh, Regardless - I'm Barack Obama, and I approve this message, uh, change and, umm hope..and um, uh, yes we can!"

The latest: Obama said that he'd bankrupt anyone who builds a coal power plant with new regulations, taxes, etc...Coal official calls Obama comments 'unbelievable'. What was Team Obama's response: "The line they pulled out is in the context of cap and trade program," the spokesperson said. Now that's leadership.

Hear it for your self:



Oh well. I didn't need electricity anyway...But the best part is how Obama's team responded - by making up something completely different. Predictable.

Again, from now on, if anyone says I said anything that is now inconvenient for me to now own up to, my simple response will be, "I was taken completely out of context by those trying to score cheap political points."

'nuff said.
