Hey Reagan was my favorite president of all time. IMO he’s done so much good for this country too bad these damn Dems are trying to reverse the good he did. But I digress
Another title to a thread threre for you amusement is titled:
“Obama: ‘Democrats have to say, Even though I’m a progressive, I believe in being practical’”
At a Tuesday town meeting in Scranton both sides of the equation came together when a man with a booming voice asked Obama how he could reach out to Republicans while remaining true to his political values.
Obama’s answer offered a glimpse of how the candidate has clearly thought about retooling his rhetoric to highlight centrist themes. After first deriding George W. Bush for nearly doubling the national debt, Obama declared, “The Republicans are susceptible to a message that says, ‘We’re going to restore a sense of fiscal responsibility and a sense of modesty in our foreign policy ...’ And Democrats have to say, ‘Even though I’m a progressive, I believe in being practical.’”
Speaking to a state AFL-CIO convention Wednesday morning, Obama momentarily silenced the made-in-America union movement with the declaration, “If we’re completely honest with ourselves, we have to acknowledge that we cannot completely stop globalization.” But Obama also tried to add a populist edge to his speech with the frequent use of the verb “rigged.” Harking back to his days as a community organizer in Chicago, Obama said, “The reason that I am standing here out in front of you is because I don’t want to wake up one morning six years from now and discover that the system is still rigged against America’s families.”
I don’t want this guy anywhere near the White House. I wouldn’t let him mow the damn lawn. Look at the way he thinks...look at the way he views the world.....
I also am having alot of fun over there myself, it makes me happy.
Look at whom he’s speaking to .........
He says the most expedient thing and they all unthinkingly (yes, I know it’s redundant) applaud. Yesterday, he was on w/Chris Matthews. Some student at West Chester said she’s a Type 1 diabetic and wanted to know his position on stem cell research. He said that they already have a bill in Congress, they’re 1 vote short. Then he said, “Here’s what we’re gonna do. When I’m President, we’ll get that vote.” They all applauded. The diabetic beamed.
Nobody thought to point out that the debate and the vote (and Bush’s position) are about funding for stem cell research.
