OBAMA: What I reject is when some folks say we should go back to the past policies when it was those very same policies that got us into this mess in the first place. (Applause.)

Another way of putting it is when, you know, I'm busy and Nancy 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. (Applause.) Why don't you grab a mop, why don't you help clean up. (Applause.) You're not mopping fast enough. (Laughter.) That's a socialist mop. (Laughter and applause.) Grab a mop -- let's get to work.

[a fool in paradise]

[misterrob]

What a disingenuous POS you are. Not only are you continuing what hasn’t worked you are making it far worse.

[montag813]

That's a socialist mop.

Must admit that's a good one. Looks like he is hitting the Alinksy again.

[freekitty]

He is such a liar.

[a fool in paradise]

The problems we face in the Middle East are Jimmy Carter’s mess. And he continues to cause problems there.

[jessduntno]

“That’s a socialist mop.”

I’ll bet they get a hoot out of that in the Red House...

[a fool in paradise]

What I reject is when some folks say we should go back to the past policies when it was those very same policies that got us into this mess in the first place.

Why not prosecute Democrats like Barney Frank and Chris Dodd and Louis Freeh and Jamie Gorelick who's corrupt business practices PERMITTED the financial collapse to happen.

[BARLF]

Ha,ha,ha,ha,ha, obama you are soooooooo funnnnnnnnnnnnnny!

/S

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

That would be a job better suited to his experience than being President.

[668 - Neighbor of the Beast]

Spare the mod and self-delete, that’s my motto...

[theyreallthesame]

The arrogance is simply staggering.

[rovenstinez]

After a mean dust storm, in Garden City, Kansas, 1956, 4 inches of dirt/dust silted in, and I thought I would MOP it up, it turned to mud. I think we need a BROOM and sweep out all of the DIRT, and stop blaming in on someone else.

[Jeff Chandler]

To the Democrats, the past policies which caused the mess are the policies of capitalism. His mop is socialism.

[beethovenfan]

That’s exactly where he belongs - with a real mop. There’s plenty of messes to clean up on the south side of Chicago.

[<1/1,000,000th%]

Yeah. The Democrat Party’s mess.

[BARLF]

Oh, I forgot to add........Thanks to all that voted this man president. He just keeps me on the edge of insanity with his Marxist programs.

[Buckeye McFrog]

you just KNOW the next time 2 million of us show up in DC we’re all going to be carrying mops! :)

[ThomasMore]

The SOCIALIST mess he’s cleaning up was created by Democrats (socialists) primarily from the CRA debacle that shoveled trillions into Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac in the form of sub-prime mortgages. The Dems pressured banks into backing these bad loans, including financial support for ACORN, starting as early as the late 1970s under the Peanut Farmer and really got a steroid boost in 1996 during the Clinton era(error).

Sorry, Hussein, but the onus is on you and your SOCIALIST party.

[gimme1ibertee]

Date and time,and we’ll be there with our mops!! :)

[ransomnote]

Obama brags that he knows how to operate a mop because he doesn’t know how to do his job or what his job actually is. And he can’t point to anything he mopped up. Well - actually he did mop up a Nobel prize.

I would think even his fan club would be getting tired of this one because it doesn’t play out in their own lives - they do not get to dodge accountability for their actions in the ‘real world’; they know they couldn’t show up everyday to their workplace with the same old ‘dog ate my homework’ shtick.

[gimme1ibertee]

I’d like to slap him in his face with a wet,stinky mop....HARD.

[Chi-townChief]

0bama is more of a socialist fop.

[christianhomeschoolmommaof3]

How much more could I hate every word this man says!

[christianhomeschoolmommaof3]

LOL! I wouldn’t trust him to mop my bathroom floor!

[Leonard210]

“That’s a socialist mop. (Laughter and applause.)”

That’s not a mop, it’s a shovel. The problem is that you don’t know the difference.

“Grab a mop - let’s get to work.”

We are. We’re working to take the shovel away from you.

[a fool in paradise]

And the crooks who perpetrated this collapse GOT RICH for their efforts. 30 pieces of silver, they sold America out to Socialism.

[Rummyfan]

He’s been Narcissist-in-Chief for nine months now. When does he take some responsibility?

[SlowBoat407]

The utter arrogance is staggering.

[Kakaze]

He is such a liar,

I prefer to call him a smart ass liar.

[Dallas59]

Obammy....Maybe you could ask Mao about cleaning up?

[gorilla_warrior]

What a whiner. He’s making an even bigger mess and pointing the finger at everyone else for his failures.

[traditional1]

That’s exactly what The Messiah is qualified for: at the business end of a broom or a mop. He sure ain’t a Leader.

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

OH, clever tag line..... I hadn’t thought about that

[sickoflibs]

Is this recent? I remember he said these exact words in the Spring or so.

[wny]

what an a$$hole.

[chris_bdba]

What a punk. You wanted the job Bozo quit complaining about how hard it is! Unemployment has rose dramatically since you took office and that can be balmes on no one but you and your democratically lead congress!

[ryan71]

Unbelievably immature.

This guy is not equipped, in any way, to lead America or any other entity.

His narcissism is off the charts.

[christianhomeschoolmommaof3]

Thank you! FINALLY, somebody noticed my brillance. :)

[Las Vegas Ron]

“That’s a socialist mop.”

He just admitted he's a socialist and attempts to use humor to make fun of those who oppose socialism.

Ridicule those who oppose you and claim 200+ years of history is the "policies that got us in this mess"

Alinsky fo sho

[HiTech RedNeck]

RAGG MOPP

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

It is brilliant - truly

[Sender]

It’s your mess now, Obama. You cleaned up a spill by dumping a bucketful on top of it. You can’t say you inherited all this.

[BilLies]

Love that one, I should save it as a screen saver.

[Yehuda]

[Dick Bachert]

Hey, POSident Obozo, you mean messes like THIS???

[Dick Bachert]

[Ramcat]

Must admit that's a good one. Looks like he is hitting the Alinksy again.

This guy is right in our face, telling his followers "they can't stop us".
He's surrounded himself with fellow Marxists.
He's giving us a chance to fight.

[Recovering_Democrat]

OBVIOUSLY thought up by his hack communications committee!

This gimmick is getting him in touch with his janitor/SEIU cultists. Look for his punks to start carrying around mops.

Dumb move, Hussein. You look like a whiner. But of course, that is because you are a whiner.

[No_More_Harkin]

He’s speaking in CA - a state that has literally been run into the ground by liberal policies for the last 30 years. The “MOP” you speak of is soaking in rancid liberal politics that you continue to spread around this once great country with every stroke.

“Mr. President, does mopping a floor with dirty water get it clean?
Just because someone doesn’t have an answer, doesn’t mean they should jump in and make matters worse.
