Obama assails GOP on clouded final campaign push: "Republicans gotta sit in the back."

WOONSOCKET, R.I. – President Barack Obama attacked Republicans with gusto Monday as he plunged into a final week of midterm election campaigning, but his party's prognosis remained darkened by the feeble economy and his itinerary was designed largely to minimize losses.

Nor was his greeting totally friendly in Rhode Island where Obama has pointedly declined to endorse his party's candidate for governor.

Obama can "take his endorsement and shove it," declared Democrat Frank Caprio, battling Republican-turned-independent Lincoln Chafee in a gubernatorial race rated tight in the polls. Chafee endorsed Obama during the 2008 campaign for the White House.

In a little more than five hours in the state, Obama was booked for a factory tour and for a pair of fundraisers that party officials said would bring in $500,000.

He said Republicans had driven the economy into a ditch and then stood by and criticized while Democrats pulled it out. Now that progress has been made, he said, "we can't have special interests sitting shotgun. We gotta have middle class families up in front. We don't mind the Republicans joining us. They can come for the ride, but they gotta sit in back."

Chafee endorsed Obama during the 2008 campaign for the White House.

Over RINO-in-Chief John McCain which illustrates again why we shouldn't be electing RINOs like Mike Castle and Lisa Murkowski no matter how tempting it can be to win an election. They just turn on you in the end.

His use of metaphors is stuck in the ditch.

I hate to admit it, but I’m still shocked at how nasty and classless this President can be. I shouldn’t be, but d@mn!

Is this a combination win for Obama? The biggest lie he's ever told combined with the worst thing he's ever said??

I am astonished that I am astonished by his words here. I am naive enough to still be blown away by this.

The little punk MF has never had a bad day, never missed a meal, had it all handed to him, pampered, coddled, and he can wade into Black townhall and fake Ebonics, pretending he’s a bro from the hood, and wade into Chicano halls and tell them republicans are “the enemy”. Just who in hell does he thing he is?! If this does not fire you up, nothing will!

Nah, he has called us racists in the past but this time he didn’t do that. This time he in effect made Republicans into Rosa Parks. He’s the one being discriminatory. Simply amazing that anyone could be this stupid.

The moment any pubbie makes this statement, you will see every media whore in the country, jump up and play their own personal platinum race card, on behalf of their almighty pimp in chief.

Seriously, can anybody imagine Ronald Reagan, George Bush or any Republican president for that matter, inferring that Democrats are second-class citizens and need to "get to the back of the bus"?

Now I'm not talking about the consequences of them saying such a thing (and you can bet there would be a media-frenzy and calls for impeachment). No, I'm talking about them even wanting to say such things in the first place, even if they could get away with it. They would just have too much class to sink to that kind of level. This is just not the kind of rhetoric that a president of the United States should engage in, in fact, no decent human being would stoop to such levels.

I thought he was supposed to be this erudite, brilliant, well-spoken constitutional law professor. How many blacks live in RI anyway? Not many, I can imagine. So, what’s with the jive?

White House staff forwarded your post to Air force 1. After reading your post The One's explosive response was "WE HAVE WAYS OF MAKING THIS WALRUS TOCK!!!!".

The Zero is president only to Totalitarians and Muslims. He is at all out war with solid Americans who love our sacred civil documents, the Church, and anyone who disagrees with him. So what else is new?

I’d respond to the Dark Overlord’s idiotic verbal diarrhea, but I’m too busy standing by a ditch, sipping a slurpee.

We’ll see if this arrogant “post-American” muslim-commie sings a different tune after November 2!!!!

The good part is that every time obama makes pronouncements like this, he gets more and more Americans of all kinds to get angry and scared enough to go to the polls and vote EVERY member of the Dictator Party (formerly Democrat Party) out of office!!!!
