Obama to address income inequality
The Hill ^ | 12/3/13 | Justin Sink

Posted on 12/03/2013 8:48:14 PM PST by Nachum

President Obama will cast growing income inequality and a decline in economic mobility as a “fundamental threat to the American dream” during a speech Wednesday in Washington. The speech will serve as an early preview for next year’s State of the Union address, according to a White House official, who said Obama would focus much of his energy over the next three years on the issue. “The decisions we make over the next few years will determine whether or not our children will grow up in an America where, if you work hard, you can get ahead,” the official said.

In about three months, obama won’t be talking about anything except trying to save his own skin. That’s when hundreds, thousands and maybe even tens of thousands of folks start being killed by obamacare towards the end of January when they no longer have medical insurance or medical care from their doctors because obamacare cancelled their insurance and they were unable to obtain comparable insurance or medical care.

I’m talking about chronically ill people who are being kept alive by highly specialized treatments by highly specialized doctors in highly specialized treatment centers. You don’t treat cancer, hemophilia, cystic fibrosis, psoriatic arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, diabetes, heart disease, childhood genetic diseases, and thousands of other such diseases in the ER.

Those are the people who will truly suffer and die because their existing insurance has been cancelled and they are unable to sign up for new insurance, or unable to afford new insurance, or are offered only policies that no longer include their existing specialized care givers.

Obama and the Democrats are going to have blood on their hands if they persist in trying to implement their totally unworkable legislation when it starts to kill innocent children. We need to show the nation that blood so we can end this horror.

Tagline...

For the easily offended Democrat, a word change:

A Socialist is nothing more than an honest Democrat.

That they cannot deny.

If you WORK HARD you can GET AHEAD...he loves to say it. Of course the answer to this so-called ‘income inequality’ is more ‘free’ sht. The blame lies with wall st. free market,big this and that blah,blah, but NEVER on INDIVIDUAL OUTPUT INEQUALITY.

Is hard work the answer to getting ahead,or taking more ‘free’ govt handouts while working less, his solution??

Idiocracy

I heard of ‘em, I even met folks who claimed to have them, but they don’t spend much time around folks who might have a dab of drilling mud on ‘em. Seems as if they’re allergic to dirt. (8^D)

“Was there a discussion of income inequality when Moochelle got $317,000 a year for a no show job at Chicago U. Hospital because her hubby was a state Senator?”

A very good question, with an obvious answer. The liberal crowd is ‘chock full’ of those who love to point out the splinter in their neighbor's eye, while ignoring the Giant Sequoia in their own.

He gets away with this crap time after time. The middle class and below are all worse off after Obama. And he wants to talk about income inequality? Give me a break! And because of him the gap is only going to get bigger.

You are right. This is the same lingo that was used by the Communist. Obama is a communist and so is the rest of the rest of the Demonkratic party. The leftist that are in power are thde same as the socialist that destroyed european nations.

Tell your poor to either get their backsides in gear and make their own way in this world or lie down and die!!!

That's very well said, Dale, and I concur as does the Bible from Mark 14:7 and :

For ye have the poor with you always.

That if any would not work, neither should he eat.

American Exceptionalism will be restored when the founding principles built upon the teachings of Christ -- not Karl Marx -- are restored. The eras of President Coolidge and Reagan led to great prosperity -- those were times when America's enemies feared our might and our friends respected us. I pray that our nation returns to God's teachings and rejects all forms of Satan's social "gospel".
