PETER JOHNSON, JR.: Obama's Sad, Surprising Words

EDITOR'S NOTE: President Obama delivered remarks at the DCCC reception at the Rhode Island Convention Center in Providence, R.I. on Monday. In the course of his remarks, according to the Associated Press, "he said Republicans had driven the economy into a ditch and then stood by and criticized while Democrats pulled it out. Now that progress has been made, he said, 'we can't have special interests sitting shotgun. We gotta have middle class families up in front. We don't mind the Republicans joining us. They can come for the ride, but they gotta sit in back.'"

Here is reaction to the president's remarks from Fox News Legal Analyst Peter Johnson, Jr. as seen on "Fox & Friends" on October 27.

BRIAN KILMEADE, CO-HOST: Sure, this midterm election is a week away, but should the president be bringing up imagery of segregation, bringing it into politics or do you not see it in those words? Does he not see it? We're joined by Peter Johnson, Jr.

PETER JOHNSON, JR./FOX NEWS LEGAL ANALYST: It's a peculiar and strange and haunting and really backward reference that we're seeing by the president.

What we're really seeing is reference to the notion of being in the back of the bus. That's a matter of sad american history, embarrassing american history.

hey let obama speak - he keeps putting his foot in his mouth and showing his true colors. no wonder he uses a teleprompter for everything. w/o one he just blunders along and we really learn what he is about.

Where does one ride 'shotgun' on a bus?

Just sane.

Front passenger seat opposite the driver.

But you have to go to the back of the bus troublemaker!! :bash

That's what I mean, there is no front passenger seat opposite the driver on a bus. That would be the spot where you get on. The analogy being used to repesent segregation is a far stretch.

IMO

Obama No Longer Bothering to Lie Credibly: Claims Financial Crisis Cost Less Than S&L Crisis

I’m so offended by the latest Obama canard, that the financial crisis of 2007-2008 cost less than 1% of GDP, that I barely know where to begin. Not only does this Administration lie on a routine basis, it doesn’t even bother to tell credible lies. .And this one came directly from the top, not via minions. It’s not that this misrepresentation is earth-shaking, but that it epitomizes why the Obama Administration is well on its way to being an abject failure.
