The author of the new book “Guilty: Liberal ‘Victims’ and Their Assault on America,” was introduced by former House Majority Leader Tom Delay, who said Coulter has a “backbone of titanium.”
Coulter told the standing room-only crowd that President Barack Obama’s historic election victory over Republican John McCain in November was far less impressive than the media and liberals have portrayed it to be.
“Obama had the mainstream media, the entire European Union and Oprah on his side. In fact, in a poll taken in Germany during the election, it showed that 80% of the German people supported Obama over McCain. And we all know how infallible the Germans are at picking great leaders,” she joked.
Coulter later added that Obama beating McCain is “the equivalent of George Foreman in his prime beating Helen Thomas in the twelfth round on a technical knockout.”
To a roar of laughter from the crowd, Ms. Coulter suggested that even though President Obama is often compared to Abraham Lincoln, it’s doubtful Abe would giving Mary Todd a “fist bump” in the White House or text messaging Hollywood actress Scarlet Johansson.
“It’s interesting that Obama’s adorers in the press keep comparing him to Lincoln and Reagan. Apparently they can’t think of a Democrat president worthy of being compared to,” she quipped.
