Obama To Stick With Class-Warfare Approach in 2012
December 28, 2011

President Obama is expected to set the major theme for his 2012 re-election campaign with a State of the Union address on January 24 that portrays him as the defender of the middle class and Republicans as the party of the rich and big corporations.

Democratic strategists say Obama's earlier campaign message--that his economic policies prevented a bad situation from getting worse--was weak and didn't connect with most voters. Now Obama has decided to shift gears in an attempt to take on the role of tribune of Middle America.

Among the policy initiatives that will be incorporated into his new message, Democratic strategists say, are support for federal assistance for various popular programs including college assistance and transportation projects, and helping to pay for them by raising taxes on the rich.

Get rid of some of these damn programs like headstart...which is just a FREE babysitting service. And get rid of the free meals at school. Let the damn lazy kids make a sandwich at home.

Plus michelle’s 2K sundress. How much did the kids dresses cost?
Not from K-mart I’m sure.

Those dresses could have been handmade for much less.

Wonder what their people think...the ones with no jobs and no future.

Spendaholics—out with you.

They CAN NOT win again without much fraud and bribery.

::::::::::::::

Another flaming living lie. This will be the foundation of the Obama “campaign” if you can call it that — a pure stream of lies and phony reality. Get ready America and have shovel in hand — you are going to be buried in a billion bucks worth of it. And it will make BS smell good.

i’d love to see a presentation with each date he golfed and what was happening that day/week in the country.

example. 1/1/11 obama golfs, 350k people file for unemployment. 1/8/11 obama golfs, OPEC threatens to cut production.....

I might actually try this at home, now that i’m thinking about it. He’s on his 90th round of golf, so it could be a snoozer.........

This POS just spent 4 million dollars of our money on his vacation. He rented with his own rich’s a house for $10,000 dollars a day or whatever the hell it cost, Nancy Pelosi is the 9th richest person in the Congress and she just spent her holiday in Hawaii in a rich peoples resort. Boxer, Waters,Harry Reid,you name the Democrat mother truckers, they are all rich and they have the balls to come back from this kind of vacation and say the Republicans are the party of the rich?.

Anyone who falls for that crap has Sh*t for brains.

Well they are Obamaites, so their brain matter is already established as fact. Most of us who are considered Middle Class can see who is taking the screwing.and it aint the entitlement Obama voters.Nor is it the Bankers and auto manufacturers or the Union a-wipes.

Hypocrisy? Worked for that blue blood, FDR...



The secret to winning is to not back down. Obama doesn't deserve reelection, and we know what he will do if he does get reelected. Republicans ought to stop trying to purify the party and destroy each other in the process and focus their attacks on the enemy.

The guy who has done the most in decades to destroy the "middle class" is now its defender?

“Anyone who falls for this crap has sh*t for brains.”

You just described Holder’s people. They’ll lap up every lie that comes out of Obummer’s crooked mouth.

And so will the white moonbats.

Obuma is the most ugly president in American history. With his blood-shot purple lips, sunken coal-black eyes and frizzy grey hair that looks like exploded firecrackers, he’ll appeal to forensic investigators, potassium nitrate miners and embalmers.

The vacationer in chief has no shot of getting reelected if the GOP puts up a candidate that is a clear contrast to the marxist Constitution hating degenerate archcriminal Hussein Obama and his comrades in the democrat socialist party.

Logically, that would be Gingrich.

The funny thing is that nobody seems to realize that nothing will stop the suicide of the American Empire, that was assured the minute it became a democracy when the Constitution was amended after the civil war 4 times to enfranchise all of the groups the Founders warned shouldn't have the vote.

The US Federal Government post Civil War has turned into a criminal enterprise run by lawyers and bureaucrats for their own perpetual enrichment at the expense of the productive class.

It has also ceased to be a representative Republic and has turned into a sure to fail Democracy.

The Founders didn't put a right to vote into the Constitution for a very simple reason; they didn't want imbeciles, those under 21, and lazy parasites to be enfranchised, in fact warned against it, leaving the States to determine who could cast ballots.

"Democracies have been found incompatible with personal security or the rights of property; and have in general been as short in their lives as they have been violent in their death." James Madison

Remember democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet that did not commit suicide. John Adams: letter to John Taylor, April 15, 1814

The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not.:Thomas Jefferson

This government will fall, and the New Republic which will rise in it's place will limit the franchise, incorporate term limits, and ensure dueling is legal, to keep loudmouth marxist crook cowards in check.

Read this:

Repo Men (Wall St. bankers and D.C. ruling class, "more than a few of them belong in prison.")

Let's shove it up their donkey.

Cheers!

Ruin it while defending it. Looked it up.

Rome absorbed and economically ruined -- 96 to 250 CE

During the first half of the 200s, taxation encouraged men of commerce to hoard their money rather than invest it. To pay soldiers, emperors debased money. Prices skyrocketed. The empire's middle class went bankrupt, and roads deteriorated.

More people had become beggars, and many others feared that they too would soon be impoverished. In Rome and other big cities, proletarians remained disinclined to organize themselves against authority, but here and there in the countryside desperate peasants did revolt, but their uprisings were not coordinated and not widespread enough to challenge the empire militarily. In various parts of the empire, bands of desperate people wandered the countryside, surviving by theft. In 235 bands of brigands had swept through Italy. In Gaul, hordes of people roamed about, pillaging as they went. Piracy grew on the Aegean Sea, and tribal people from the Sahara attacked Roman cities along the coast of North Africa.

Disorders sometimes cut off trade routes. By 250, Rome's trade with China and India had ended.

Operations return to normal at West Coast ports (after freeloaders leave)
OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — West Coast ports tried to get back to business as usual Tuesday as they tallied their losses after anti-Wall Street protests that blocked trucks and curbed business along busy waterfronts.

Amazing.
