Obama Backs Off On “We Bring A Gun” Comment

Obama – Ready on day one… for a knife fight.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) – After vowing to put up a tough fight in the general election campaign this fall by saying “if they bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun“, presumptive Democratic nominee Barack Obama apologized to the American people for suggesting that guns might be useful in securing a victory during personal combat against a lesser-armed – yet still life-threatening – mortal enemy.
“First of all,” clarified Obama, “I’m getting old. And I haven’t had much sleep in the last 48 hours. Still, that’s no excuse to praise such a dangerous weapon. Naturally, I only meant such praise metaphorically, and any metaphorical gun I used would have a metaphorical trigger-lock and require a metaphorical background check and mandatory metaphorical 3-day waiting period.”
“In the non-metaphorical sense,” the senator continued. “I would never use a gun against someone armed with a knife. After all, maybe he’s just taking that knife to a pawn shop so that he can sell it for gas money. Or maybe he needs it to do surgery on himself because he can’t afford decent health care. I would never seek to use a firearm against an innocent victim of 7 years of disastrous Bush-McCain policies.”
“What I would do,” concluded Obama, “is agree to negotiations without preconditions so that I can continue to unite America through the hope of change. Unless, of course, the person with the knife were spreading rumors about Michelle’s Whitey-hating, in which case I would absolutely bust a cap in his ass.”

  1. Actually, bringing a gun to a knife fight sounds like exactly the sort of thing a real liberal would do – as long he was absolutely sure that he was the only one with a gun. However, were his opponent equally armed and likely to hurt him, he’d simply declare himself defeated, wet himself, and make nice by offering anything that he was able to offer (or obtain from someone without a gun).
    Of course under his own interpretation of the second amendment, we are all free to bring any sporting goods we want to a gunfight.

  2. I haven’t heard anything about him apologizing yet, but I think Harvey is once again ahead of the MSM. I expect a full apology, blamed on lack of sleep in the next forty eight hours, and I predict it will sound a lot like this. Harvey is faking the news, as much as he is probably predicting it.

  3. gosh i must have been tired too,took a while to realise the spoof as i had never visited this site before, i remember bills big lie with his ducking hunting pic in all the news papers,won,t make that mistake again. rosie and b hussein obama don,t carry a gun anywhere ,their security guards do!!!!!

  4. hmmmm…”Lack of sleep”?
    I wonder if he’s so tired because he keeps getting those pesky 3 am phone calls. If he thinks not getting enough sleep due to campaigning is hard, he’s in for quite a shock if he ever has to actually run a country.
    Imagine a sleep-deprived Obama blaming his failure at unconditional negotiations with Ahmadinijad or Kim Jung Il on “lack of sleep”…or snapping at the Israeli Prime Minster because he “REALLY needed a cigarette”. It’s almost as much of a joke as electing someone who “can’t recall” any details of a land deal she put together or staffers she fired.
    I think I have a new campaign slogan – actually I didn’t come up with it – a brilliant ad executive for Wendy’s Hamburgers did 20 years ago.
    Hey Obama – WHERE’S THE CHANGE?

  5. Surely you do not believe that he really said he would bust a cap. That is a lie folks.
    Second of all JFK was a Liberal and therefore he is in Good Company. Even Jesus himself would have been identified as a liberal.
    GOD BLESS YOU ALL,

  6. Am I the only one who noticed the classic liberal pattern here?
    Talk like a cowboy to your fellow citizens, and allies, threaten them, etc. But the coddle dictators. If Bush said, “if Iran brings a knife, we’ll bring a gun” Obama would p— and moan about how uncivil he was being, but if you are talking about republicans? Kill the sonofabitches.
    What is wrong with these people?

  7. Surely he knows some one in Chicago who could lend him a piece.
    His land dealing, on trial hustler buddy or his bomb setting, got off on a technicality buddy?
    Maybe he’s got a few antique IED’s he never got around to setting off?
    You know how it is, sentimental value, you never know when you might need it for a rainy day or a friend might need to borrow it, so you put it on a shelf and it gathers dust for the next 30 years.
    Then one day the grandchildren are poking around and, “Hey Grandpa! Look at me! I’m a revolutionary! Yeah! Power to the pe…”.

  8. 2nd post, The supreme court recently held that the 2nd amendment was still good. I don’t believe that the clown Obama will ever get enough support to overturn it. What if he tried it by executive order or by declaring martial law? I’m mostly interested in comments from other conservatives on this.
