OSAWATOMIE, Kan. (AP) — Declaring the American middle class in jeopardy, President Barack Obama on Tuesday outlined a populist economic vision that will drive his re-election bid, insisting the United States must reclaim its standing as a country in which everyone can prosper if provided "a fair shot and a fair share."

Obama is also presented in only the most flattering light in the many photos circulating today. It's only when you get to the comments after the article that the ugly reality appears.
An Orwellian all-out campaign by the press to get their guy reelected. Sickening.
The press are purposely supporting an evil regime whose sole purpose is to destroy our Republic. If the Marxist wins, we will definitely be heading for a civil war. There will be way to avoid it -- total economic collapse and a very bloody civil war.
Most in the Press have evil in their souls.
bttt
Looks like the Dems 2012 strategy will be their good old classic class warfare strategy.
Republicans must counter with "..the United States must reclaim its standing as a country in which everyone can prosper if the Feceral Government can be tamed, caged, or otherwise rendered incapable of destroying the people's prosperity."
He means driving a stake through the middle class.
Partisan Media Shills ping. Thanks Deo volente.
Someone needs to ask Obama what his definition of “prosper” is. Apparently it means making 35K/yr and not a dime more.
(Gigantic Puff Piece Barf Alert)
If it’s Yahoo and it’s about Obama or global warming the alert is a given. Love the comment sections.
excerpt:
In small-town Osawatomie, in a high school gym where patriotic bunting lined the bleachers, Obama presented himself as the one fighting for shared sacrifice and success against those who would gut government and let people fend for themselves.

The authors seem more like campaign speechwriters than journalists.
The inference is that Republicans would “gut government and let people fend for themselves”. Yes, we want everyone to starve and die in the streets. Only the merciful and wonderful Barack can save the nation from such a ghastly fate.

...and the flip side: Michele Bachmann presented as a homophobe, and rebuked by an 8-yr old.

That is a national joke. Even Democrats are embarrassed by them pushing such a sick story.
I love this, as if people somehow can be transported to a fantasyland.
If people are to be saved from fending for themselves, someone else will have to fend for them, at what price; and who will then fend for the fenders?
This is all the most obvious tripe. Yet, why is it I fear that millions will scarf it down as manna from heaven.
What would a community organizer/low-level academic who has never had a real job know about the American middle class? Or is he referring to the Kenyan or Indonesian middle class?
“a country in which everyone can prosper if provided “a fair shot and a fair share”.”
The class warfare strategy runs into the race warfare strategy; too many white guys know companies & governments aren’t allowed to hire them, so they’re not buying this nonsense.
Yeah and all the Republicans are already putting their tails between their Legs and running for the Hills.
Krauthammer had the best Retort that will put eggs on all their faces,After Obama spews all his Class warfare crap just Play the Clip with Plugs Biden on the Stage explaining how they Begged John Corzine the Pauper to help them out with how to spend the Stimulus. There are more Rich Democrats Brainwashing the American People,beginning with George Soros. This crap is so easily defeated but you have to have a Party willing to engage,and we dont have one.
Im with Rush Limbaugh on this One,we dont need a Third Party we need a Second one
Shouldn’t it be middle class at steak.....and arugula?
a country in which everyone can prosper if provided "a fair shot and a fair share."Hey Butthead Barry. Everyone already HAS a "fair shot". It's called: School, Books, Reading, Studying and .... (tada) ... Homework.
if one does that instead of skipping school, getting pregnant, or dropping out to join a GANG, ya asshole. THEN you will eventually get your "fair share" as you have (radical idea coming) .... 'worked for it'.
Note. That school doesn't have to include a College or University. Psych Majors make lousy Plumbers, Carpenters, Pipe-fitters, Sheet-metal Workers, Electricians, CAD Draftsman, Project Managers etc. There's trade schools and union apprenticeships for those 'Professions'. (yes, they are professions, not just 'jobs')
'Back in the day' we didn't need any Trade School. If you took HS Drafting as a Major Subject the world was yours after graduating with 'OJT'. I learned a new thing every day and still try to 41 years after getting into Commercial Construction as a lowly draftsman apprentice. [I loved making minimum wage those years ;-)]
Every time the local stations start playing his speech, I grab the remote and mute the silly 0 bummer.
