Here is video of President Obama chiding those who oppose his agenda, scolding them for criticizing his use of a "socialist mop" to clean up the nation's messes. Obama was trying to be sarcastic, but may have inadvertently agreed with his critics that his approaches to governing are "socialist" in nature.
Obama had said he rejected those who would sit back and criticize what he is doing to try and deal with issues, likening critics to someone who sits and criticizes the way someone is mopping up a mess:
"Another way of putting it is when, you know, I'm busy and Nancy's (Pelosi) busy with our mop cleaning up somebody else's mess --- we don't want somebody sitting back saying, you're not holding the mop the right way. Why don't you grab a mop, why don't you help clean up. You're not mopping fast enough. That's a socialist mop. Grab a mop -- let's get to work."
The nation is not a floor to be mopped. All approaches to governing are not the same, and do not have the same outcome. It does matter what method you use to fix problems. If you use socialism, you wind up with a very different nation. . . . (VIDEO)

FUBO!
Change we can believe in.
All bad.
Obama is busy flying around the country for fundraisers.
He’s spent more time on AF1 then in the Oval Office.
Sorry, Hussein, but the onus is on you and your SOCIALIST party.
Stick your mop where the sun don’t shine!
0bama is more of a socialist fop.
This janitor is cleaning the floors of the country by using HIS dirty toilet bowl as a bucket. This nation is now being spread with HIS $%@#.
The list, ping
Dear President Obama;
You have no business, nor right to criticize the American people.
You work for us.
We do not work for you.
Shut up, put away your Socialist tendencies and clean up the mess by getting off your high-socialist-horse that is “crapping” on everything.
Socialism is NOT what this country wants. Americans WILL continue to criticize you for being a Socialist-Marxist as long as you behave like one. Get used to it.
Well said, Rick.
Thanks.
I’ve been “quiet” here for about a year. I have been standing up to the local politicians but, you know.. I’m damned sick and tired of people telling me to “Shut up, we want to get along”.
Hell no, I don’t want to get along, I want to get my way.
My way is the RIGHT WAY.
Socialism is WRONG.
I left FR because so many here were, for some reason so leftist leaning (including some Mods that kept calling me down because they didn’t like the way I was talking).
I’ve never threatened anyone - but I am TIRED of watching the asses in this country get their way because they are louder than those on the Right.
Hate to say it, but the Tea Parties were the beginning... they won’t be the end of this.
Obama is a Marxist-Socialist and he is pushing it down our throats - and we’re letting him and the maggots in ACORN, Moveon.Org and those places help.
I’m tired of it.
The Prez gets a little “touchy” about things. He’s not used to being outside the Chicago Machine!
KMA, Barak! An awful lot of your Wall Street buddies were involved in the looting of the US economy. Your skirts aren’t clean by a longshot!
