I presume this destination selection is deliberate, but it just seems to underline recurring, long-unsolved problems: President Barack Obama will be in Allentown, Pennsylvania next month to kick off the "White House to Main Street Tour."
We can guess the theme music for the event, right?
Well we're living here in Allentown And they're closing all the factories down Out in Bethlehem they're killing time Filling out forms Standing in line.
Well our fathers fought the Second World War Spent their weekends on the Jersey Shore Met our mothers at the USO Asked them to dance Danced with them slow And we're living here in Allentown.
But the restlessness was handed down And it's getting very hard to staaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay aaaaaaah aaahhhhh ooooooooh ooooooh ohhhhhhh.
Well we're waiting here in Allentown For the Pennsylvania we never found For the promises our teachers gave If we worked hard If we behaved.

Ping.
I see and who controlled Congress for the last 3 years? and who signed a trillion dollar porkulus bill?
Another question for leftist 0bama sycophants -
if someone were to INTENTIONALLY try to crash our economy, what would they be doing differently than the present policies?
(A variation on “OK, let’s say democRats AREN’T communists. If they were, what would they be doing differently?”)
I got Iraq
Allentown would probably do much better economically if Americans were allowed to dig for coal and manufacture stuff.
Hm. I hope they didn’t pay him for that....
TEA PARTY!!!

Didn’t Soros do that to Eurpoe on Black Friday or did I dream that.
Irregardless of who started the fire you don’t douse it with an accelerant unless you want it to burn faster.
But he was so convincing when he said he is the best choice to deal with our problems. Yet here he is, 1 year later, still campaigning and blaming the past Administration.
Victor Davis Hanson has a far superior piece on what Obama inherited:

Who the hell was behind the Fanny Mae disaster
[behind the Fanny]
that would be Representative Frank.
NRO is carrying on the tradition of blaming somebody else for what they’re responsible for.
Great song !
wouldn’t do much different
Obama’s Theme:
You have to learn to pace yourself...
(PRESSURE!)
You’re just like everybody else...
(PRESSURE!)
You’ve only had to run so far, so good...
But you will come to a place
Where the only thing you feel
Are loaded guns in your face
And you’ll have to deal with
PRESSURE!
You used to call me paranoid...
(PRESSURE!)
But even you can not avoid...
PRESSURE!
You turned the tap dance into your crusade...
Now here you are with your faith
And your Peter Pan advice
You have no scars on your face
And you cannot handle
PRESSURE!
All grown up and no place to go
Psych 1, Psych 2, what do you know?
All your life is Channel 13
Sesame Street, what does it mean?
I’ll tell you what it means...
PRESSURE!
PRESSURE
Don’t ask for help, you’re all alone...
(PRESSURE!)
You’ll have to answer to your own...
PRESSURE!
I’m sure you’ll have some cosmic rationale
But here you are in the ninth
Two men out and three men on
Nowhere to look but inside
Where we all respond to
PRESSURE!
PRESSURE!
All your life is TIME Magazine
I read it too
What does it mean?
PRESSURE!
I’m sure you’ll have some cosmic rationale
But here you are with your faith
And your Peter Pan advice
You have no scars on your face
And you cannot handle
PRESSURE!
PRESSURE!
PRESSURE!
One, two, three, four
PRESSURE!
The good news is the worst is behind us.
The bad news is...it’s rolling on a condom.
Yes the ‘Rats mostly did start the fire with some complicit repukes. Fanny and Freddy debacle, CAFE auto standards, Unions, MSM scaring everyone about warnings of recession during middle Bush years with very low unemployment. Oh yes the ‘Rats started it and now they throw gas on the fire they created. As for the repukes RINO’s they abandoned conservative principles and rolled over to the loud mouths of the left. So here we are but we know what the answer is to help extinguish this inferno from hades assaulting us.
you inherited a small contained camp fire and have turned it into a raging forest fire with your failed socialist policies.
“We didn’t start the fire, but we believe that throwing economic gasoline on it is the best way to extinguish it. We will still blame Bush.”
