Obama on Labor Day touts economic gains under his leadership, is mum on pressing world concerns
Fox News ^ | September 1, 2014

President Obama used Labor Day to tout the country’s economic gains under his leadership and make an election-year case that higher wages and other progress for workers can only be achieved through a Democrat-controlled Congress.

“American workers and the American economy are better off since I took office,” Obama told a crowd filled with union supporters at the annual Laborfest event in Milwaukee.

“I’m not asking for the moon. I’m asking for policies that help folks get ahead. … Republicans running Congress are opposed to them.”

At one point in the speech, Obama enthusiastically told the crowd: “If I were looking for a good job that lets me build some security for my family, I’d join a union.”

While never specifically mentioning the mid-term elections in which Democrats are trying to keep control of the Senate, Obama repeatedly blamed Republicans for trying to block such efforts as immigration reform, increasing the federal minimum wage and lowering the cost of health care through the ObamaCare.

“Don’t boo, vote,” Obama told the crowd, recycling one of his popular lines from his 2012 reelection campaign.

Obama’s brain was fried by drugs, long ago.

In his “Dreams” book, Obama proudly admitted to his youthful “enthusiastic use of drugs.”

Simple words such as “to” and “people” are pronounced “tuh” and “folks” respectively.

Obama has spoken no ideas that will be retained in the history of great speeches.

Obama’s public speaking is restricted to a carefully controlled audience where the act of BOOing is forcefully prohibited.

Obama’s brain is useless without a teleprompter to keep him on a topic.

Without a teleprompter, Obama play-acts out a “Devil made me do that,” shuffle and jive Role in a fake Southern accent.

Without an advisor to tell him what to do, Obama is terrified to “go it alone.”

Obama’s lack of a strong Foreign Policy advisor accounts for Obama’s obvious mental confusion in Foreign Policy and Military matters.

Obama follows orders from his advisors domestically, and thus has no problem “going it alone” domestically because his top aides tell him what to do, and then defend Obama flawlessly.

Obama chose, at the request of his advisors to negotiate with terrorists with the deal he made to release the GITMO FIVE in order to beef up ISIS at an opportune time for them.

Without Valerie Jarrett to write Obama’s speeches, and tell Obama what to do, the drugged stupor that Obama was in during his 2012 TV Denver Debate with Romney would be a monthly drug stupor spectacle.

As Obama’s fragile administration continues to fail, Obama is sent out of the Oval Office more frequently to perform simple tasks, such as Shuffle and Jive Role speeches at controlled rallies or controlled Democrat Donation functions. or Golf games with a tightly controlled guest list.

Obama’s recent admission that after 5.5 years of on-the-job-training to be the Commander in Chief, he still does not have a strategy for America’s number one enemy since 9-11-2001: Militant Muslims.

This was exactly what Obama’s advisors have tried so hard to avoid: showing the American Public that Obama does not have the mental capacity to be the Commander in Chief of the United States Military.

Obama will resign ONLY if Harry Reid tells Valerie Jarrett that Obama must resign for the good of the Democrat Party.

What is good for the Country is of NO concern to Reid or Jarrett.

“Didn’t believe we’d ever have an impostor like him for a president.”

A friend of mine commented about Paul Ryan that he doesn’t “look” Presidential enough. With people like that voting, there will be more Obama’s. Same friend likes Ben Carson; I said I don’t know enough about him, particularly where he stands on social issues, etc.
