Obama says Republicans blocking his efforts to fight economic inequality
The Hill ^ | 9/15/13 | Mike Lillis

The president has powers to fight income inequality, President Obama argued in an interview broadcast Sunday, adding that Republicans in Congress have hobbled his efforts to do it. Appearing on ABC´s "This Week" program, Obama acknowledged that the wealthiest Americans have benefited disproportionately from the economic recovery of recent years. But he was quick to add that much of that trend is due to globalization, technology and, not least, the GOP´s opposition to his economic agenda – all factors he suggested are beyond his control. "I think the president can stop it," Obama said, when asked about the growing income

I have the power to fly like a bird, but gravity hobbles my efforts to do it.

How does Obama intend to provide “economic equality?” By government force?

When 90% of Americans are in dire poverty and 10% work for the government and its wealthy political allies.

Then we will be told we have achieved “economic equality”

Check out Cuba and North Korea.

The “shovel ready jobs” Obama promised in his original campaign are coming to light. He was right. It will take millions with shovels to cleanup his bullshit.

That’s the Soviet “Nomenklatura” and it’s almost in place here.

Well, that will definitely bring about equality. Soon we’ll all be unemployed and living in slums.

Good! The federal govt has no business “fighting economic inequality”. (As if that were even possible or desirable to achieve). The sovereign states can do various things but its not a federal matter. Get back to work on your proper federal duties or go play golf with our blessings.

Obama, always the “community agitator”. The divide and conquer president who follows everyone’s behind.

Obamas Welfare Nation. He speaks of economic inequality when it is his party that has made more people dependent. Why should they work when the gov. pays them to be useless leeches.

If it is unequal then blame the liberal public schools who are turning out illiterates and dropouts. Blame the liberals who have made promises to blacks for decades but have done NOTHING to get them out of poverty because they want the votes, not the problems.

I am getting sick and tired of paying for people who churn out baby after baby for welfare. I am sick and tired of being blamed for low income peoples problems when they have done NOTHING to help themselves. I am sick and tired of being blamed for peoples children not getting an education when it is their parents that have failed them. I am just SICK AND TIRED!!
