Obama: GOP 'Betting On Amnesia' in The November Elections

Speaking at a fundraiser hauling in $500,000 for the Democratic party today, President Obama said that the Republican party is “betting on amnesia” going into the November election, as they have not had a “single, solitary” new idea.
“It's not like they've engaged in some heavy reflection,” Obama said of the Republican party in Atlanta today. “They have not come up with a single, solitary new idea to address the challenges of the American people. They don't have a single idea that's different from George Bush's ideas, not one. Instead, they're betting on amnesia.”
In a refrain that President Obama will likely say many times between now and the election, Obama told the crowd that the choice in the election is between going forward or going backward to the hurtful policies of the past.
“I do want to point out, when you get in your car, when you go forward, what do you do? You put it in ‘D.’ When you want to go back, what do you do? You put it in ‘R.’ We don't want to go into reverse back in the ditch.“

I've got one - kick out the socialists and make sure they never return to power.
We haven’t had a new idea because the same old ones—capitalism, personal freedom, personal responsibility, a love for America—work just fine, you socialist Kenyan punk.

Cut taxes, shrink government, people keep more of their OWN money............yeah I like those “Old” ideas.................
I believe that Obama is the first President to blame a previous President for everything that is wrong with this country.
Somebody remind Barry that there’s nothing new about fascism either.
Its “new ideas”, such as communism and naziism, that have been responsible for the worst crimes against humanity ever. Hey Odungbeetle, you can stuff your new ideas where the sun don’t shine.
There is nothing new under the sun.....you IDIOT/treasonous POS.
48% Blame Obama for Bad Economy, 47% Blame Bush
Yes, we DO want to take our country back. Back to balanced budgets, limited ethical government and 4% unemployment.
I don’t remember any President blaming a previous President, at least not publically like the sissy in chief does. Clinton may have, but I can’t remember particular instances.
Yes, we DO want to take our country back. Back to balanced budgets, 4% unemployment and limited ethical government.
As opposed to the new idea of "tax and spend" from the party of transparency.
Maybe he’s on to something. The people DO have a very short memory... they are allowing a 13 story Islamic victory mosque to built on the site that that same religion was the cause for 3,000 of their NYC neighbors to be murdered... ALL in the name of diversity and tolerance.
So why not spout repetitive insane nonsense about Bush... those same amnesiac folks will swallow it ...hook line and sinker...
nah, Obama’s betting we’ve forgotten his first 2 utterly useless years.
My God, what is this country coming to when even CUBA..yes CUBA..get’s it and is backing off Government’s role and the US, once the World’s greatest Superpower ,is being destroyed.

Not a single solitary new idea? What’s so great about NEW ideas? Why is it that the old ideas that first made America great need to be pitched? The New Ideas have driven this country into the toilet.
Huge sign of weakness on his part to keep blaming Bush for everything.
Yep. Wonder if I will see the day where there is a boat flotilla headed from the U.S..... TO Cuba.
Pretty sure the 8 million you have caused to become unemployed remember what it was like when they had a job.
