ieatcrayonz Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 Well, well, well, turns out Hank acknowledges he took things juuuusst a littttle tooooo far. Ooops jw “The thought of the leaders of both parties jukin and high fiven on a golf course, while so many families are struggling to get by simply made me boil over and make a dumb statement,” Williams said. “I am very sorry if it offended anyone.” Which one was jukin and which one was high fiven? Frankly I can barely imagine Boehner being physically capable of a high five and the jukin thing is out of the question much like Eileen from Seinfeld dancing. When I clicked on this link I thought for sure he was apologizing for continuing to record. This sure is a let down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC Tom Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 (edited) Well, well, well, turns out Hank acknowledges he took things juuuusst a littttle tooooo far. Ooops jw Personally, I would have gone with "But I was comparing Boehner to Hitler". Just to see how many people responded "Oh...well, that's okay. Pretty perceptive, really." And by the way - it would be nothing like Hitler and Netanyahoo golfing. Hitler had a MUCH worse handicap than Obama does.

I just don't understand how people have become so cavalier over the years. I understand exactly the point you are making. There used to be respect for the office. I think a lot of the reason for the decline in that regard is because there is a lot less class and dignity demanded from our leaders these days.

I just don't understand how people have become so cavalier over the years. I understand exactly the point you are making. My wife and I talk about this a lot. Both of us are more independent then anything, seeing logical perspectives on issues from both parties. We feel Obama had a very difficult situation to enter into. We don't agree with a lot of the things he's done, but still sit wondering if the next one in line will make things even worse. But the one thing that bothers us is the sheer lack of respect shown to him. He's the Presidents of the United States. It's not acceptable to talk about him like he's a football coach.

Orton's Arm Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 (edited) "The thought of the leaders of both parties jukin and high fiven on a golf course, while so many families are struggling to get by simply made me boil over and make a dumb statement,” a lame excuse.....he meant every word of his original rant. The Founding Fathers felt that the ideal American was the gentleman farmer. A gentleman farmer--or any kind of farmer, for that matter--is less vulnerable to financially-based pressures towards conformism than are people in most other industries. The percentage of Americans whose main income source involves farming their own land has declined radically since the Founding Fathers' time. This is why there is more financially-based pressure toward conformism than ever before. One result of this conformist pressure is non-heartfelt apologies, intended to appease the anger of those who pull the financial strings of our society.

OK, gunna go out on a limb here and say I like his original statement better than his apology. Would it have been better if he said cowboys and Indians? So sick of all the PC junk. He didn't say anything about the President being Hitler but that the two of them have nothing in common. I know some people that I won't 'golf with because we just don't see eye to eye. This Hitler thing would be OK to use between myself and the one I am thinking of. That doesn't make me or him ahitler. Just that we don't mesh. .
