Obama: If We Lose in 2012, Government Will Tell People ‘You’re on Your Own’

At a million-dollar San Francisco fundraiser today, President Obama warned his recession-battered supporters that if he loses the 2012 election it could herald a new, painful era of self-reliance in America.

“The one thing that we absolutely know for sure is that if we don’t work even harder than we did in 2008, then we’re going to have a government that tells the American people, ‘you are on your own,’” Obama told a crowd of 200 donors over lunch at the W Hotel.

“If you get sick, you’re on your own. If you can’t afford college, you’re on your own. If you don’t like that some corporation is polluting your air or the air that your child breathes, then you’re on your own,” he said. “That’s not the America I believe in. It’s not the America you believe in.”

Obama and Democrats have been emphasizing what they see as the costly consequences of the Republicans’ agenda in an effort to stir up support, in part by touching on emotional nerves.

Last week, Obama supporters pounced on comments by Republican presidential frontrunner Mitt Romney that the solution to the nation’s housing crisis is “don’t try and stop the foreclosure process. Let it run its course and hit the bottom.”

Today, Obama cast Republicans’ hands-off approach as harmful to middle class families, who he says deserve government help.

“I reject an argument that says we’ve got to roll back protections that ban hidden fees by credit card companies, or rules that keep our kids from being exposed to mercury, or laws that prevent the health insurance industry from exploiting people who are sick,” Obama said. “And I reject the idea that somehow if we strip away collective bargaining rights, that we’ll be somehow better off.

Government Will Tell People ‘You’re on Your Own’

“The one thing that we absolutely know for sure is that if we don’t work even harder than we did in 2008, then we’re going to have a government that tells the American people, ‘you are on your own,’”

FINALLY they're starting to get the message. Yeah, that's kind of what we've been about for the last 235 years.

[Steely Tom]

Actually, what the Government should tell people is "We're not going to kid you, you're on your own."

But it won't, even after Obama's long gone.

[GeronL]

The left is insane. Seriously.

....President Obama warned his recession-battered supporters that if he loses the 2012 election it could herald a new, painful era of self-reliance in America.

Not painful at all. It is how our country is meant to be, you overbearing Kenyan Communist.

[Viking2002]

Glad you see things our way, you closet case Muzzie agitator. We don't WANT the government's help. Now get outta my yard.

"But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: for men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away, for his name is Obama."

I’d much rather be “on my own” despite whatever troubles and hardships that may bring, than sucking the government teat.

” - - - “We should not be in a race to the bottom - - - “

Ah, but that is where your Marxist policies have taken the US Federal Government.

Obama, enjoy YOUR race to the bottom of THE VALLEY OF DEBT.

[JRandomFreeper]

you are on your own

We always have been. Who does he thing builds things and makes things and harvests food to keep people alive?

Us, not gooberment. Government is just a parasite on productive people.

I have no respect, whatsoever, for our current federal government. It should be abolished.

And we'll all be better off.

[A message]

O M G.

People taking care of themselves and their families. Making decisions requiring personal responsibility. Something that has been done for thousands of years.

It will be the end of the world.

0bama is such a loser.

[gidget7]

Couldn’t agree more, but lets call it like it is, this administration and all their marxist followers are worse than insane, they are EVIL!

Yes! Exactly! Finally he gets it? Nah, hussein is a dedicated and delusional socialist. But this is exactly what we want and need - get government out of our lives!

[KoRn]

I’ve been “on my own” since well before I was 18. The government hasn’t had anything to do with what success my wife and I managed to have over the years. Hopefully it will stay the hell out of our way from here on out, but we’re not hopeful. Especially with the Healthcare law being on the way and taxes having only one direction to do in, and that is UP.
