True. Most of them try to change a thing or two. Totally different animal from a fundamental transformation, however.
Define what he meant by "fundamental change". Thanks in advance for avoiding being snarky.
He said "fundamentally transform" and I was waiting for someone to ask what he meant by that. Nobody ever did.
Then how can you make jokes about it if you do not know what it means?

I'm not making a joke about it and it's not about me. OBAMA should have been asked to explain exactly what he meant by it. Nobody ever asked him.

That being the case, perhaps you are out of line by asking what is meant by that. Nobody was concerned by that other than you. Perhaps everyone understood what he meant but you.
So Rudy Rudy Giuliani makes yet another of his stupid "I'm still relevant petty statements", and then Scott Walker sidesteps a defense of RG twice in one short interview. At least he's consistent in avoiding questions. If he makes it to the GOP debates, I wonder if he'll continue with this tactic.

He said, "The mayor can speak for himself. I'm not going to comment on what the President thinks or not. He can speak for himself as well..."
Perfect answer, and totally sensible. He's being asked to comment on what other people think. Why not ask them?

Perfect pu$$y answer from a seasoned politician.
To your statement of, "Perfect answer, and totally sensible." Well, that's a matter of opinion. I would classify it as a non-answer or a Texas Two Step. We'll assume that Walker is smart enough to give real answers. I'll give it to some of the other GOP potential nominees - at least they had the guts to give a real answer and not duct the question like Walker. When the GOP debates begin, let's see if he answers questions in the same way. That should pay real dividends.
Normally if a person loves ____________, they don't normally express a desire to "fundamentally transform" that that they love. Doesn't make much sense.
You're certainly more intelligent than to post like a simpleton. That sounds like something a freshman in high school would post.
In case you are wondering where this comment really came from.
Talk radio host and author of “The Liberty Amendments,” Mark Levin defended Rudy Giuliani’s comments regarding President Obama’s love of America on Thursday’s “Hannity” on the Fox News Channel.
“Rudy’s exactly right, and I would add, and I’ve said this many years on my radio program, when somebody says they want to fundamentally transform America, well, then you must not love America. It’s like saying i’m going to fundamentally transform my wife, or my girlfriend, that means you must not love your wife or your girlfriend. And Obama has shown no indication that he loves the Constitution. He never talks about capitalism. He’s always bringing up the past. He’s always picking at scabs. Even now he’s a patsy for Islamic terrorism. Half of his speeches are about how terrible America is and America shouldn’t react in [a] negative way” he stated.

Even a passive follower of politics would have to admit that either Obama or someone in his
administration is constantly complaining/talking down Americans/America in some way or
another. If it's not unethical doctors or stupid cops it's cowards on race.
If it's not greedy power use or arrogance towards other nations it's fat cat bankers or unpatriotic
predecessors. If it's not the unfair "playing field'" it's corporate jets or gas guzzling SUV's. If it's
not "cable chatter" it's bitter clingers or greedy corporations sitting on record profits. Just the
tone and inflection when he says the word "profits," as if a profit is an evil
motivation......And on and on and on.....
The list of complaints is almost endless. Some may call this a sign of love, but..................
That's one of the reasons I don't like Obama. Don't take it personally, though. I don't care for
anybody, much less a President, constantly talking down my country and my fellow citizens.
Then again, I feel pretty sure he wouldn't like me either, so we're even.

The far-left Washington Post impressed with Scott Walker
Scott Walker continues to impress
By Jennifer Rubin - February 19 at 3:15 PM - The Washington Post
Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker continues to improve his delivery and grow into the role of presidential candidate. Appearing on CNBC this morning, he made the case for “new, fresh faces, I think from outside Washington with big, bold ideas and a track record.” He was gracious to potential opponents, saying he admired former Florida governor Jeb Bush and Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), but made a persuasive pitch for economic growth out in the country, not in government. On foreign policy, he appears more comfortable, able to make common-sense analogies that may appeal to average voters. He is emphatic that the jihadist threat is a threat to the American homeland. (“Whether it’s special ops or other engagements out there, we’ve got to be prepared to do what it takes to keep America safe.”) And in clear contrast to some other candidates, he is not circumscribing our military options in the war against the Islamic State. “I think we need aggressive leadership to take the fight to them instead of waiting for it to come to us,” he declared.
Walker has not had direct foreign policy experience, but he can compete ably with more experienced opponents. As former Texas governor Rick Perry has done, he’d be smart to start speaking and writing op-eds on the issues before us, making clear that he is prepared to indict the Obama-Clinton foreign policy and offer a more robust and reasoned approach to the world. (Unlike President Obama, he had no problem determining the attacks in France were not random but manifestations of Islamic jihadism. “Obviously we’ve seen [it] in Europe. We most notably saw what happened in France.”)
Moreover, Walker can compete on his own terms by setting a tone that may be feistier than Bush’s and drawing on executive experience Rubio does not have. He should not be shy in bashing the president when he delivers a ridiculous speech, as Obama did yesterday, proposing trivial measures (e.g. social media and jobs) to address Islamic radicalization and arguing that poverty drives Muslims to terrorism. (Obama said, “when millions of people — especially youth — are impoverished and have no hope for the future, when corruption inflicts daily humiliations on people, when there are no outlets by which people can express their concerns, resentments fester,” but why then do we not see impoverished Hindus or unemployed Catholics shooting up Western capitals in the name of their religions?) Walker has an understated delivery that he can put to good use in exposing the faux sophistication of a president who says we should he “honest” about the enemy but not call it “Islamic radicalism.” Walker’s personality — pugnacious but much more measured than New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie — provides a fine contrast to some of his opponents and to the liberal elites who are fixated on a narrative of Muslim victimization.
Walker also can be both more concrete (vow to undo military sequester) and more thematic than competitors — for example, calling out Obama for his ludicrous vision of reconciliation with Iran. There are specific errors committed by the Obama-Clinton administration that others tend to gloss over. With it just now dawning on the president that Syria needs to be stable to fight the Islamic State, Walker can remind voters that Obama had his chance to oust Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and failed to do so. And likewise, he can make clear that the biggest error with regard to Benghazi was the failure of the Obama-Clinton team to pay attention to what was happening in Libya.
Finally, Walker should not hesitate to draw attention to his own experiences that demonstrate leadership and spine. He refers to Ronald Reagan’s firing of workers from the Professional Air Traffic Controllers Organization (PATCO) as setting a tone with the Soviets. But Walker’s own standoff and victory over the teachers union highlights his tenacity and refusal to buckle in the face of liberal hysteria. He shouldn’t be shy about saying so. He has made a name for himself standing up for taxpayers against bullies in public employee unions, and he can bring that same spirit to a foreign policy vision that is resolute, no-nonsense and unconcerned with elite opinion. In sum, using his plainspoken persona to his advantage, he can make the case that character, judgment, clarity and tenacity are as important as knowledge in foreign affairs.
Ha. Jennifer Rubin can hardly be considered far left. Her blog is called "Right Turn." She was hired to be one of several conservative bloggers on the Post Website.
Normally if a person loves ____________, they don't normally express a desire to "fundamentally transform" that that they love. Doesn't make much sense.
So there is never room for improvement? Everything is perfect? I guess you will be voting Democratic from now on seeing as they have perfected the country.
Kennedy's slogan was "Let's get the country moving again." I like that. Fundamentally transform the country is not a progressive slogan. It is a revolutionary slogan. Most people including me didn't take that seriously in 2008. I now know he will do everything he can to bring it to fruition.

I certainly wouldn't marry someone who declared her intetion to "fundamentally change me." I doubt many men would.
Be nice to the girls.

It is actually obama disappointment realization.That's the funny thing, you and those like you "realized" Obama was a disappointment long before he had an actual Presidential record to be judged on. You made up your mind and everything since then has been an exploration in confirmation bias.
via Urban Dictionary (the English language reference of champions and trolls alike):
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Confirmation+Bias&defid=4010867The natural human tendency to hold opinions that agree with one's own point-of-view as more valuable than opinions that do not. However, this can be magnified to an insane proportion in ignorant people, overly-religious people, people who have power, people who think they have power, people on a power trip, and people who hate criticism in general. This may stem from a fear of change, what one does not know, or from an OD god complex.
This is actually a really crappy definition, but it's funny and I didn't want to look like a smarty-pants by citing from an actual dictionary. 😛

Wrong.
I and so many other Americans are disappointed and disgusted in obama based on his class warfare and socialist ideology and complete failure in both domestic and foreign policies.
Decent article on how his handling of the press could hurt him.
http://www.pbs.org/newshour/updates/scott-walker-everyone-else-answer-even-gotcha-questions/
Walker is doing a splendid job of not falling for these lines of questioning. What's on the mind of Americans, the theory of evolution or why they have three part-time jobs?
Let’s see if the media ever asks this question of Hillary:
“Ms. Clinton, most Americans believe that late-term abortions are tantamount to infanticide.
Would you support a bill to ban that heinous procedure?”
Let’s see if the media ever asks this question of Hillary:

And if she fails to answer to their satisfaction, the media will launch into extreme agitation
mode as if she's the only politician to ever dodge a question........Then, report that it as if it's
a real news story.
Right.

While also screaming the question is sexist!
democrats do love that class warfare/identity politics/war on women thing.
Of course hillay's campaign in 2008 paid its women 72 cents on the dollar.
This time around she is going with the all boys club.
