NEW YORK (AP) -- President Barack Obama warned Monday that the United States is headed down a "perilous path" if its leaders cannot move quickly and responsibly to help people get back to work.

Obama, speaking at an exclusive Park Avenue fundraiser for his re-election and for other Democrats, promoted his plans to spur hiring and put a dent in the long-term debt. He proposes to pay for his ideas in large part by raising taxes on wealthy Americans and corporations.

Republican leaders have offered strong opposition to his economic program.

`'If we don't succeed, then I think this country is going to go down a very perilous path," Obama told his audience in brief remarks in front of reporters.

He said that meant conditions would get worse for everyone, rich and poor.

Obama spoke at the home of Ralph Schlosstein and Jane Hartley. About 60 people paid $35,800 each to attend.

Obama doesn’t deliver speeches. He babbles. He is a nonstop windbag.

Sorry windbag, you had enough time to cough up jobs.

You did however manage to make more unemployment checks available.

I am in pissed mode tonight. How dare he give another blah,blah speech! Sit you butt in your officer and get to work. I picture Reagan at his desk calling all in congress to get in his office to work out how to help the country. This SOB is just doing what he can to collapse us and worse, stir the pot to the point of boiling over! Pray we make it to 2012 and the idiots stay home.

Some warned of a perilous path prior to the 2008 election; the warning was not heeded.

When I was young (many years ago) I was deceived...

I was amazed by the white middle class Koolaid drinkers last presidential election- people who had never voted before but felt awakened by an angel of light.

The power of satan is great, and deserves full attention.

FUBO and your anti-capitalist policies. You are a socialist asshat from hell. Taxing capital-gains is double taxation on my left-over income after you taxed the hell out of that already.

" I think this country is going to go down a very perilous path"

Yes; the one that accelerated in November of 2008, when an ineligible Socialist token black was put in the White House to destroy this "capitalist system" which has been spent into oblivion with handouts of borrowed money.

Yep. That's his plan. Was he grinning from very large ear to very large ear when he said this?

And Obama is taking us down that perilous path as fast as he can. He is trying to overwhelm the US with debt and manufactured crises. The Cloward Piven strategy in action.

Yuppers, the sky is falling and a perilous path awaits us if we take the obama path to obamageddon and make the government the employer.
