You must be one of those “Rich White People” about whom his nutbag preacher rants and raves. :-)

[MaggieM]

It is frightening.
I never believed there could be a person more heinous than Hillary, but here they are.
I am beginning to think Hillary is only the tip of the iceberg of the Demoncrat party, what follows is far worse.

[MaggieM]

I don't know about rich.
I will proudly wear the title of “typical white capitalist” however.
Its close enough;)

[Army Air Corps]

A capitalist?! Eeek, eeek, screams Obambi, his wife, his “reverend”, and all his pals.

Think of it. A guy who has never really had a real job wants to run (ruin) the economy. Prior to his nearly two years in the Senate he was a paid race hustler (”Community Organiser”). He hasn’t even done his job in the Senate.

I worked hard for my piece of the pie.
I already provide health care, food, and shelter from my taxes to those on welfare.
I have less, so they can have more.
What more does she want?

[MaggieM]

LOL!
Obama, his wife, and his preacher screeching, and eeking is music to my ears.
Obama does not even invest in our economy. Odd.
Obamas idea of “regulating the market” is nothing more than socialism.
I am beginning to contemplate what I will do with my retirement should the worse happen.

The writer of this article expresses my sentiments exactly. This is the snobby democrat party showing it's elitism and utter disdain for flyover country. Have no doubt whatsoever, that the Clintons are very much of the same belief as Obama, only they have 35 years of working hard to conceal it.

No one is surprised to know that the leftists think it, but to hear Obama say it, why that is critically wrong.

[MaggieM]

Well she cant have it.
She should give more of her own pie.
As I understand it, they give very little.
Be an example Michelle!
Give until it hurts.

And this BOZO is from Illinios?

this clown spent his formative years in Jakarta - where he attended and participated in Islamic studies and prayers - and he said just recently that he thought the sound of Islamic Prayer at sunrise was the most beautiful sound on earth.

He then was raised by his white grandparents in Hawaii, where he went to private school.

His first time living stateside was as a college student - looking for his "blackness" as he put it.

What does he know about this country or the people here?

NOTHING.

I guess these days a gaffe is revealing a truth about yourself you wish you would have kept secret. In other words, telling the truth is a gaffe.

And this gets to the nub of the issue. Most Democrats hate the average American. Most Democrats assume that most Americans are racists. Most Democrats agree with Obama that Americans are evil people.

Well isn't this the very message that Hollyweird, TV, MSM and especially the music industries have been pumping at our citizens since they were able to villianize Joe McCarthy

Isn’t it the small towns in the Midwest where Obamania is at its peak, second only to African American ghettos of large cities? Democrats will accept any such “bitter” comments to win an election. It’s like the old French king who quipped that “Paris is worth a mass”.

[Theodore R.]

He doesn’t have to know anything. Obamania could be the downfall of the United States, as were the bread and circuses of ancient Rome.

[Theodore R.]

Good points, not2worry. Unfortuantely, the American people don’t even realize how they pamper their “leaders”. Now many are waiting for Obamania to give them “health care”.

[Theodore R.]

Was this word "gaffe" used in politics before 1976? I recall it first being used for Ford, Carter, and Reagan. Ford's stumbling down the Air Force One steps (several times); Carter's Playboy interview; Reagan's "killer trees" remarks. Pretty soon, Reagan was declared "all-gaffe" and won!

[Theodore R.]

I remember too that Ed Koch said something similar to this (sterile suburbs”)in his 1982 primary race for governor. The result: Governor Mario Cuomo for three terms! People in NY can never get enough.

Every Rebel guerrilla and jayhawker, every man who ran to Canada to avoid the draft, every bounty-hunter, every deserter, every cowardly sneak that ran from danger and disgraced his flag, every man who loves slavery and hates liberty,... and every villain, of whatever name or crime, who loves power more than justice, slavery more than freedom, is a Democrat. --James A. Garfield, 1866

I think Obama is trying to spread the “I am a victim” ideology to whites. It has worked so well with blacks, especially for people like Rev. Wright and other black preachers and black politicians, that he sees it working just as well on whites. He is trying to sell the same Kool Aid to whites that he and others have been selling to blacks for generations. He is urging whites to “play the victim card”.

I just love it when a gun shop puts a gun toting Santa Claus in the front window at Christmas time.

This contempt for fly over country comes from a man who has gone to a racist church for twenty years and who now thinks he should be allowed to lecture on the motives of why rural Americans go to their church. He’s clueless.
