Obama's "Folks"
When President Obama explained so eloquently on Friday that the US "tortured some folks," we got an eery sense of deja vu about his phrasing. Sure enough, as The Washington Post reports, it was very much not the first time that he'd used the word "folks."
March 2014. Folks discussed: Hardworking folks, folks cooking meals for the troops, folks at the top, chairless folks, folks who need a raise.
Talking to an audience in Connecticut, Obama discussed income inequality -- "there are folks at the top who are doing better than ever" -- but "we understand that some folks are going to earn more than others." But he was fighting to give "hardworking folks" a pay increase. Folks like the "folks who are cooking the meals of our troops, or washing their dishes, or cleaning their clothes."
He also apologized because he knew "the folks here don't have chairs."
February 2014. Folks discussed: Folks who worked at Costco, folks who earned tips, folks with pockets.
This one is pretty easy to piece together.
October 2012. Folks discussed: Rich folks, middle class folks, Chinese folks, gangbanger folks, folks who mess with Americans.
During a presidential debate, Obama says that Mitt Romney wants "to make sure that folks at the top play by a different set of rules." He, on the other hand wants "give middle-class families and folks who are striving to get into the middle-class some relief." Different folks.
He later accuses Romney of investing in companies that "are building surveillance equipment for China to spy on its own folks." And he makes his case on immigration: "What I've also said is if we're going to go after folks who are here illegally, we should do it smartly and go after folks who are criminals, gang bangers."
On Benghazi, he reminded Americans of his longstanding plan. "[O]ne of the things that I've said throughout my presidency is when folks mess with Americans, we go after them."
August 2011. Folks discussed: Korean folks, folks outside machine shops, non-farm folks.
Obama's weekly address was about putting Americans (American folks) back to work. He wanted to "see folks in Korea driving Fords, Chevys and Chryslers," he said. He wanted folks in Washington to put country before party, lessons he learned from having "shaken hands with folks outside machine shops and churches, corner stores and farms." (Folks who are outside of farms are not farmers, for the record.)
August 2011. Folks discussed: Folks who clean our water, folks in hats, folks who don't talk about patent reform, anxious folks, folks familiar with corn-based ethanol, folks in Washington.
A town hall in Minnesota. The president, kicking into reelection mode defends government workers, the FEMA folks, "the folks who keep our water clean and our air clean to breathe ... And when you go to a national park, and those folks in the hats."
Folks in Minnesota, he knew, were familiar with ethanol additives, but maybe those folks weren't as familiar with patent reform. Anyway, folks were "feeling a little anxious and distressed" about the economy, and he would fix it (was his argument).
August 2009. Folks discussed: Folks being crushed, critical folks, folks with signs, folks who created a mess.
Campaigning in Virginia, Obama rails against the folks, critics, who say the economy is a mess. He doesn't want to hear the "folks who created the mess do a lot of the talking." He also notes that sometimes there are folks outside with signs. Meanwhile, Virginia folks are being crushed by health premiums. What a world!
But no folks have been discussed by Obama as much or with as much derision as the folks in Washington, the folks across the aisle, the folks in Congress. Those folks are the folks that make folks in Minnesota so anxious, was what he hoped to get across.
Anyway, the point is: Folks contain multitudes.

We are all Obama's "folks" now...

NYPD leading the charge in police state USA.
http://www.newsday.com/news/new-york/ramsey-orta-man-who-videotaped-poli...
Ramsey Orta, man who taped police putting Eric Garner in chokehold, arrested on weapons charge...
The man who recorded police allegedly placing Eric Garner in a chokehold was arrested on a weapons charge in Staten Island over the weekend, police said.
Ramsey Orta, 22, was charged with criminal possession of a weapon after he allegedly walked out of a Central Avenue hotel with a 17-year-old girl and gave her a gun just before 10 p.m. on Saturday, police said.
Orta, who lives a few blocks away in the Tompkinsville area, allegedly tucked the .25 Caliber semiautomatic firearm into the waistband of the girl's pants, police said. Narcotics officers had watched the pair enter the Richmond Hotel, which is allegedly well known for drug activity, moments before.
...
"The tape that Ramsey recorded has now been validated by the medical examiner's report," Sharpton said at his National Action Network headquarters in Harlem. "He's not an eyewitness, his tape is."
...
Sunday Patrick Lynch, president of the Patrolman's Benevolent Association, said Orta's arrest "only underscores the dangers that brought police officers to respond to a chronic crime condition in that community. It is criminals like Mr. Orta who carry illegal firearms who stand to benefit the most by demonizing the good work of police officers."
Remember this comes on the heals of a cop using an illegal chokehold on a suspect killing them and the coroner just ruling that it was a homicide.
Hell must be freezing over when I find myself siding with Sharpton on something. He is a first class sleazeball but he on the right of this one for once.
Gun and Badge Thug Murder Theater. This episode is entitled: "The Witness Take Down."
The American people really need to realize that a choice is coming whether they like it or not: They can wither away in poverty and misery with everyday a fight to just survive or fight to take back the county, the American country, from these treasonous criminals and murderers.
The choice is coming: Persecution or Revolution.
The Four Rs
Rejection: Quit paying, quit obeying, quit playing
Revolution: It is inevitable, so prepare, as they are.
Retribution: The guilty must answer for their crimes against the American people and the Constitution.
Restoration: Restore the American people, country and Constitutional republic.
Oh, give it a rest. You don't even know who you're fighting. Allow me to educate you - the coalition that backs the police state is Little Old Ladies. They are a growing portion of the electorate, they are frightened of their own shadow, and they don't give a shit about police brutality, because they cannot imagine the police ever brutalizing them.
Beyond little old ladies, its the people who will one day become little old ladies - women. They have observed that the police primarily arrest and imprison men, so they do not feel threatened in the least by all this. Instead, they feel protected.
The boring fact, is that these are the voters that reward Tough On Crime politicians. But please, do tell us all about how you are going to deal with these little old ladies, once and for all, with your heroic guillotine.
Yeah, when Sharpton and Trump are the voices of reason you know the world has changed.
You know what is really stupid about the whole Garner thing is just how dumb the cops really are. But then again even prior 9/11 they didn't hire these guys based on their intelligence levels.
You don't force a confrontation in public with a known person in an area. It is bad for public relations aka propaganda that you are actually protecting and serving and providing a community service and are not a gestapo unit. They knew who this guy was already having dealt with him in the past. If he really was selling loose cigarettes aka loosies you confiscate his contraband, write him a citation and leave it at that. When he doesn't show up in court then you issue the arrest warrant and grab the guy at his house (optimally) and if you need to use force to take him down no one will be filming it. Then it plays out in the courts using all the typical dirty tricks stilted in the cops favor.
Hitler was after the Jews, Obama works for the Jews...but they all play the same game with the same propaganda, so I suppose it's all just a folksy good time.
What The Folk!?
Folks is folks.
Substitute folks with mf'ers and it all begins to make a lot more sense.
Folks show up with pitchforks and rope and ready to work. Sheeple not so much.
Can I ask a serious question without being abused? Why do most Americans hate Obama? Most Australians over here don't see any problem with him besides the money printing issue and obviously Obamacare has hurt some people. I can't see why he is any worse than previous presidents.
Because he is a lying fuck who is going way above and beyond what ever any past president did in the past to fuck us, and the MSM does nothing but cover his ass because he's "the first black president". Nixon was a piker compared to this asshole, and if you don't see that then you're not paying attention. BTW, the money printing, doesn't have a damn thing to do with El presidente Zero.
His resume is completely fraudulent. He is conducting a war on white people with his welfare and immigration policies. He is systematicly destroying the rule of law. He has made vote fraud his highest priority,
and his wife looks and smells like a wildebeest.
Christ, you gotta love the Aussies, Kiws' and Brits....the only people MORE brainwashed then American's....then again, they have hosted the parasite for a few hundred more years.
Is it true that the Rothschilds funded his presidential campaign?
Jack... you must be living in one hell of an informaiton sanitized land.
Hey Knuks, Jack is infatuated with Red Headed "douche bag" liberal puppets, named Julia Jillard....
Certainly wish "Jack" would have informed the teeming masses before now.
Oh wait, all of us DID!!!
lulz
That's my beef, a chronic and habitual liar.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A_cSvp2Ze7Q
I'll have a lash at that mate.....
Fuckbama is a fraud. A douchebag. A litany of shit surrounds this fucker.
From burying college records, to shady fucking "birth certification" bullshit, to his Connecitcut Social Security number (like....one of a kind), to his asinine band of administrative Marxist/Socialist/Communistic cuntbags such as Valerie Jarrett, Cass Sunstein, et. fuckin al.
Fuckbama never really LIVED in this country - and his mainland excursions were - NOW - buried. Like Jesus's years from 20 to 33 are shrouded in mystery, Fuckbama's college years are like-wise.
Nostradamus fucking smelled this shitbag coming....whiffed him....
Fuckbama never DID anything - of substance.
Ever.
THIS is his longest job to date in his charmed/deal with the fucking devil life.
His policies and overall douchebaggery rub Americans the wrong way - period. His race baiting, bullshittiness of his endless Teleprompter aided speeches rub Americans the wrong way. His "king-y" fucking arounf with executive orders and arrogance rubs Americans the wrong way. His give-a-ways to the stupid, fat, lazy racist African Americans rubs TAX PAYING AMERICANS the wrong way.
His rabid followers - when you pin them down - are dumb as dirt, racist, whiny turds, who follow the narrative like gov/bots and are - after 6 years of the cunt in office, becoming so annoying you want TO slap the crap out of them - and that includes several good friends of mine that I now avoid.
Like so many things Fuckbama said, he has not done. Like "unifying the nation"
fucking FAIL ON THAT ALONE....FOR OPENERS....
Hilldebeast, Holder the Fucker, Napalitano, Benghazi, Fast & Furious, his endless shake downs of partisan politicial cuntalry are now despised. Solyndra, all the GM horse SHIT....union crony blowjobiness....
Get the picture...mate.....MOST AMERICANS HATE THE FUCKER.
FRAUD "won" the cunt election. So transparent is that the office is now chosen - selected...and Fuckbama gets the pass because he's..."black"
...AND THE FUCKER IS ARAB.....
I close with this to back up that last statement;
RESEARCH THIS....HAS MOOCHIE THE WOOKIE WIFE EVER BEEN WITH FUCKBAMA WHEN HE WAS IN THE MIDDLE EAST TRAVELING?
NO.
WHY?
MUSLIM SHARIA LAW.....
#cuntfuckgolfinggaybathhouseboy
haha that's about the best use of the english language I have ever read! You Americans aren't the only ones who have had shit governments. Our previous labour government run by Kevin Rudd/Julia Gillard almost bankrupted Australia when they decided to hand out $900 to every Australian during the GFC. This included non-Australians, people who had left the country and people who weren't even alive. We went from a $20 billion surplus budget to a $60 billion deficit. At least we have a new governement in, and hopefully you will at the next election also.
I will guarantee that the USA's new Government, if we have one, will be worse.
Personally I think that there are NO POLITICAL SOLUTIONS.
But I think that by 2017 that the USA will no longer exist as a Government.
I don't know what you mean by the last line but the rest is unfortunately true. Maybe we just have to turn off the news and try and live for the day - there is no intelligent life down here, Jim.
It will exist because some new, or old, douchebag will come out of left field with some new "hope and change" bullshit, and "things will be different under my leadership", and the clueless American public will swallow the crap hook, line & sinker.
Pikers! $60 bil deficit, that's nothing. Try a $1.5 trillion defecit, 18-20 trillion debt, and, depending on how you do the accounting, 100-400 trillion in unfunded liabilities. Now we're talking.
Don't sugar coat it/soft peddle it, Beatle. Tell the gentleman from Oz how you/we really feel.
Awesome, Beetle. Fuckin'-A-Awesome.
Plus riddle me this. If he is not an American citizen then he is not technically/legally president and thus as not technically/legally president, cannot be impeached.
And I'll betcha Nazi Pelousy and her kind have aleready figured that out.
If it were ever proven he was a fraudulent president, would that mean every single act he signed into law and every single executive order and every single judicial appointment would all become null and void? What would the ramifications be?
Technically, yes
Biden would assume office and sign everything again...
He is not a legal NATURAL BORN CITIZEN. That is the requirement od A2S1C5.
Natural botn Citizens are those born in the US of US Citizen parentage. Obama was born BRITISH, of a BRITISH subject father--- thus not eligible
Thanks for the data-free and emotional rant, Beetle. Do you feel better now?
Consider putting some evidence in your next comment.
But, considering that 35 ZH commenters gave you the green arrow for that - more than almost any other comment that I've seen in this thread - then I guess that a significant number of ZH commenters prefer data-free rants to intelligent and reasoned discussion.
It's a shame, especially since this is not a rehearsal; this is the only chance you get at life. Go run for local office or volunteer for something instead of ranting about Obama, dude.
As much as some people here might not like to admit it, it seems that it doesn't make a very big different who our president is, judging from the continuity of aggressive foreign policy and unconstitutional domestic spying that we saw from both Bush and Obama.
But, I know, I know, for people of a certain emotional disposition, it's just too much fun to foam at the mouth about Obama, for whatever reason.
Data Free?
FUCK YOU.
MOUNDS OF DATA ARE THERE - BLIND BOY.
Nice try - bright boy. One posting doesn't say much about me.
Jack's question was answered. In the way he asked it.
So, go fuck yourself on "data".....jesus H....the lack OF data (as to Fuckbama's college years) moots your entire....retort....
so fuck off...see the aforementioned Fuckbama supporters in my ...rant....
you are one of them.....shitdingle
"Why do most Americans hate Obama? Most Australians over here don't see any problem with him besides the money printing issue and obviously Obamacare has hurt some people."
I think you answered your own question.
A President is not supposed to intentionally hurt any of "his people."
And if he does (by incompetence or ignorance) he immediately tries to rectify it. Obama doesn't, he attempts to make it worse and compound it.
So its purposeful.
He has done everything that he can to subvert American ideals.
He believes in murdering American citizens without due process. If you are suspected of being a terrorist and he wants you killed then you are killed.
He is a warmonger.
He believes in ruling by dictatorship.
He is worse than a psychopathic liar.
He refuses to abide by the US Constitution.
He is a homosexual with a transvestite husband.
He is absolute corruption.
He is amoral.
He does not respect anybody's Civil Liberties.
He is a racist.
He is possibly a Foreigner which make him ineligible to take office..
He is hypocritical.
He is anti Christ.
Need I go on?
Onama is a domestic enemy Usurper of he US presidency
it's because of the lying and blatent deception
His hypocrisy is more extreme - for election purposes he pretended not to be an asshole, and then went on to be an asshole on an industrial scale. Bush and his cabinet were what they were.
I had to upvote you on that. That spells it for me.
The complete hypocrisy.
Count me out, whoever "most" Australian 'folks' are.
Even Abbott looks less bad compared with Obomber - but perhaps because Abbott is certifiably stupid and can't use a teleprompter.
Well, he is supporting a murderous regime which is beginning to make Hitler look benign, and trying to goad Russia into giving us an excuse for WW3 while listening to every conversation on Earth and delivering rockets on anything that moves, mate - that's how I feel. Unfortunately any successor wil probably be worse.
Australia, like UK seems to go along with anything US does or says to their eternal shame, so it's pretty hopeless I would say.
Most Australians over here don't see any problem with him besides the money printing issue and obviously Obamacare has hurt some people.
Well, Australians live their lives upside down to start with... And, he is an idiot. I invite everybody to draw his own conclusions.
I own property in Australia.(bought in 2001) I like Tony Abott!
With all due respect, Australians and the rest of the world should butt out.
This is a life lesson in civics that I will NOT allow to go unlearned ;-)
I agree nmewn. This shit is out of control!
It has been since 1967. Well, if you want to get technical, the early 20Th Century.
At least since 1913 (IMHO).
I'm sure that Australia is a bit bigger that Tony Abbott... For example, somebody must have introduced and approved that "green gas" legislation, before your guy knocked it down this year.
He likes you too. But he likes corporations even better. Presiding over the transformation of Australia into a plutocracy through systematic destruction of the middle class.
The press floating the trial baloon of Julie Bishop as the next PM, which will coincide with Hittlery in the US.
Two of the four horsemen have been replaced by women...for the sake of a gender inclusive apocalypse.
With all due respect, please research on your own and then come back for some lively discussion.
Please don't tell me all Aussies are that fucking stupid. I've always had a positive opinion of Australia, but if you all feel that way, I demand you be nuked.
Do Not Count Me As One of "His Folks"!
In any way, shape or form.
Unless you count me as "Against".
He is an embarrassment to his species.
Fortunately, that's not my species.
''These folks are now trying to sue me!'
Obama likes the folks so much, he brought us Ebola.
It is well known that disease, Bio-Warstuff can be targeted to specific genetic markers, races, etc.
That give anybody an idea?
Is anybody else getting just so fed up that you're starting to hear people talking about thinking that way?
Hmmmm?
No suggestions....
Just wondering....
Using folks to empathize with the common man/woman shows his sheer contempt for us suckers. The only folks he gives a shit for are ' bag bundlers '. Pretentious CUNT that he is.
bush was the first potus to exploit that particular
term into the public orgy of semiotic rape
and bludgeoning. it worked so well the potus,
current, could not resist raising the proverbial
mallet.
broad brush idiot speak is the stock and trade
of the typical politician. beware, but even so,
it may do no good.
That's right. GW invented the word "folks" to give a nice warm fuzzy outline to starting wars on fabricated pretexts, mass spying, torture and other American virtues.
The more monstrous their intentions, thye more cuddly the language becomes.
That's why I get queasy hearing old hope and change dig the word up. Watch out folks - something bad's afoot.
TSA, we groped some folks
Fuckbama is FUCKED UP FOLK
Obama sure likes "Butt Fulking" Folks! Try saying that 10 times real fast....
Hey... I smell a rat... aren't monkeys immune to Ebola?
Ah.... HA!! - - - - - RACE WAR!!!!!
Where's Tricky Dick when we need him?
I keep thinking L "BJ" Knuks. I'm demented...
No. You're healthy and sane, Yen. We've already determined that.... Some time ago....
anyone knows a OBAMA joke cose I sure never heard one! Not suprised really.
What did Obama say after eating a sled dog?
It tastes like mush.
It's a disarming word - folks are friends, comrades, pals.
"comrades" ... see, he's honest about it....
Just folk the folk off Mrs Obomber.
Now, don't go hatin' folks, cuz there be to much a that.
guess he's got a mouse in his pocket or perhaps a gerbil up his ass cause I haven't tortured a damn person Mr. President asswipe.
Someone needs to tell Obama to go folk off
Don't mean to put a damper on things, but every ounce of energy expended playing around with "Obama" is one not directed at the collection of persons called "Congress."
Or those behind the throne. All part of the plan. The President, no mater which party, becomes the focal point for everything that is wrong and stupid and unjust. While the real soulless power-hungry psychopaths hide in the shadows, threatening, bullying, and extorting the politicians and countries under their control to do their bidding.
Ah, so let's just roll over and play stupid, then.
I'm sorry, Gadfly, but that doesn't cut it.
And you gave Congress a pass of your own.
In one short paragraph, you have rendered everyone powerless, including the masses, and even the institution of Congress too.
That is a pathetic stance... which serves what, exactly?
err..I think he said forks

I remember when O was first elected and was on the tube about every day, I thought it quite odd. Then when he was found to be an empty suit, he faded away off the tube every day.
Cording to talking heads Bawaaawah is being unfairlly critisized. Me thinks there is a slight difference of opinion in flyover. That's my take FOLKS.
Celente puffed out a bit about 'Bama using folks a while back. Prior to that I thought [Bamas'] the use of folks was...kinda interesting in that special stupid sorta way, folks.
folx? Foucaultx? Gunna get some Pho(x).
this the stupidest article ever published in the post. and, no, i am not an obambam fan. the article does remind me of an internet posting tracking shrub's use of the word fabulous.....which he probably picked up after sucking off the guy in the casket at his skull and crossbones induction ceremony.
This guy sold his soul to be president...naively thinking that he could bring about real, or even imagined change to not just the US, but the world.
However, being clueless about how the real world works & in particular the financial world, he soon became overwhelmed & sold out to his handlers & the Wall Street bankers who bought his 1st (& 2nd) election victory (and themselves a get out of jail free card...)
He was the perfect (hollow) candidate to enable his puppeteers (i.e., military industrial complex) to carry out what the Soviets & Stasi could only dream of...
I think the guy will ultimately be judged by history as a very tragic figure - he had no substance with which to handle the responsibility of making difficult decisions & instead simply abandoned his job leaving decisions to others while going thru the motions to try to make it look good at least to the mindless people who elected him for a 2nd time.
I think lately, with no 3rd campaign to prepare for, he has not even tried to make it even look like he cares...but has thrown in the towel & the teleprompter completely
Fore more years is his new mantra.
The "folks" in MN are fucking pissed and Al "diaper wearing dipshit" Franken is going to feel our wrath.. Start booking dates at Indian casinos you pos..

Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.
The spin doctors missed a news source. Obamas teleprompter team member gave an unsupervised reporter interview with surprising leaks. Such as Obamas telepromters are made in china and they get a discount because they buy several teleprompters a week with a 2 million a year teleprompter budget. Once Obama set up a full teleprompter for a lone dinner with his wife Machelle. Once when the teleprompter did not work he fired the teleprompter teams only white guy. The current head of the teleprompter team plans on going back to her ACORN work when the presidency changes. Interesting unfiltered read.

Bammy's getting dangerously close to "You Folks", and the original "You People". What goes around comes around.
Wha chew mean you FOLKS????
They ALL use the word. It's like the antithesis of yes, I feel what you are thinking.
It is "oh, I am on your side" can you FEEL the love"
GEEZ, <folks> we're in BIG TIME trouble here!
And just today...
"We are taking the appropriate precautions," Obama said at a press conference.
"Folks who are from these countries that have even a marginal risk, or an infinitesimal risk of having been exposed in some fashion, we're making sure we're doing screening."
What's not to love about folks, especially Israel-first folks? Those guys are great!
Folks is one thing, Obama's faux populist and glib dropping of the 'g' in his use of gerunds I find more annoyin.
Damn the president of Washington D.C. couldn't get a job as a circus barker. Its a dark day in America. Why doesn't he fucking quit. Nobody likes that creep.
Obama's use of the word "folks" goes directly to his full blown narcissism. "Folks" is a generic impersonal term sometimes used in a slightly disparaging manner.
Obama doesn't relate to real people, real individuals. "Folks" is a manifestation of his lack of empathy. He literally has no empathy for anyone.
Remember, this is a man who likes to receive blow jobs but not give them.
I remember Bush calling the terrorists "folks" on a few occasions. The American press didn't pick up on the absurdity of the language, but I remember a British tabloid headline "Bush Uses the F Word Again". Whoever came up with that one deserved a raise.
obama will design a brand new car for the masses , the FOLKSwagen
It blows up when you turn the ignition.
Hitler used to rabbit on about folk also.
'Folks' because its easier to distance yourself emotionally from people, folks get killed, folks get tortured, but not people, that would be a little too close to home.

Haha.....I think he meant to say the USA...makes fucking nothing now.

Does he ever refer to the $30,000 a couple fundraiser attendees as "folks"?
no, he calls them "dumbfucks"
.
I'm really glad with the admission that he does, indeed, still view them as folks...meaning possessing at least some human qualities.
I guess nowadays we can consider that an upside in the global war of terror
Ross Perot was ripped by the media for using the term "folks"...anyone remember?
It was racist.....really...thats what theys said.
We tortured some "folks" says obama. as if they were pulled from the rocking chair on the front porch
rather than captured as they made war....

Well, 0bamao is kinda a "folksy" guy-the way he hob-nobs with millionaires and billionaires, Hollywood types, Jay Z and Beonce'.
And dontcha love the way he drops the last letter on some words when he's using his "negro dialect" (so says harry reid.)
"Folks" are the little guy that Obama so desires to support in word or deed. As a poltiician, the 'folks' are those that he needs to get reeelected, so we're a little skeptical. But when he calls terrorists, 'folks' he isn't seeking their vote. He's showing his heart for these low lifes. The second I heard him call terrorists 'folks' I was more than a little shocked he was so reckless in revealing his support for these guys. But it really fits in with what we have observed over the past 6 years.
the over use of "folks" has been driving me crazy for years now, i just didn't think anyone noticed but me.
"That's All, Folks" (Bugs Bunny). He's working up to that.
I disagree, more annoying is the teleprompter to the left, teleprompter to the right routine.
On second thought, maybe that's "folks to the left, folks to the right".
Yes, whatever happened to "people" ?
As well, "country" rather than "homeland" ?
