President Obama, fresh off his first Washington apology tour, grew combative Wednesday, asserting that America voted for him, not the other guy, and demanding that lawmakers "put aside politics" -- well, Republican lawmakers, anyway.
A day before he headed to a luxury resort to meet behind closed doors with Democrats, the Harvard graduate lectured the less economically astute, ridiculing the Reaganomics Doctrine held dear by Republicans, who prefer tax cuts to new spending to bounce America out of its financial mess.
"Now, in the past few days I've heard criticisms of this plan that echo the very same failed theories that helped lead us into this crisis -- the notion that tax cuts alone will solve all our problems," the president said at the White House. "I reject that theory, and so did the American people when they went to the polls in November and voted resoundingly for change."
The statement, the first of its kind in public, was reminiscent of what Mr. Obama said in private just days after taking office. In the White House's Roosevelt Room, he told a Republican senator who opposed an element of the stimulus package that "I won. I will trump you on that."

President Obama apparently is moving away from being apologetic and becoming more combative as he reminds ...
Bring it Bozo ...
Oh oh, we have angered the kundis.
Kunte Kinte takes it to the street, like a good Community Organizer. (Communist)
I have posted this on another thread, but here it is again. You cannot correct a FOOL.

Now, in the past few days I’ve heard criticisms of this plan that echo the very same failed theories that helped lead us into this crisis—the notion that tax cuts alone will solve all our problems,” the president said at the White House. “I reject that theory, and so did the American people when they went to the polls in November and voted resoundingly for change.”I thinks that the current crisis has been caused by tax cuts? Is he knowingly lying or just really stupid?
This is one of the more moronic things to ever be said. Politics is all that lawmakers do. If they 'put aside politics' they would be in another line of work.
Bet ya could make some money using photo shop if ya changed Kunte Kinte pictured in chains and superimpose obamma lammas face.
Either that or lawn jockey statues with the messiahs face.
Will he continue to be the Marketing Man of the Year by appealing to the Pepsi Generation?
Yes, he tried to bring socialism through the window into the White House, but now he’ll use the front door. WE must continue to fight this aberration and mistake. He is not what America is about. Viva la resistance!
Change we can believe in!!!!
Don’t Republicans understand that he’s been on more magazine covers that Oprah!!!!!
Ain’t affirmative action just grand?
I like your suggestion. How about a picture of a lawn jockey statue with the messiah's face and a big caption:
BARACK OBAMA - LAWN JOCKEY FOR THE FAR LEFT!.
(Remember what Ebony magazine did to Clarence Thomas?)
Ugh that’s tax cuts and spending cuts. Tax cuts alone don’t work and all the congressional spending is what got us to this point. Obviously we aren’t taxing people enough to cover the spending so we just borrow and print more money. Yeah that’s the ticket Obama, a trillion more in borrowed/fake money will work great, for about six months and then what?
The American people didn’t know WHAT they were voting for besides “the cool black guy”. So just be “the cool black guy” and suck it up when people oppose your Marxism.
OMG!!! I read the article and can’t BUHHLEEEVE he is going to a spa/resort for a planning session at OUR expense?
After what AIG did?
Seems like he coulda done this at his new mansion....
The very height of hypocrisy is this “man”.
I am watching him speak at this prayer breakfast...when introduced as the POTUS I had to throw up in my mouth a little bit....
And this morning I saw where even Etta James said “He’s not MY President!”
Both.
Yes but Justice Thomas is a conservative and thus deserves to be pilloried.
Imagine a conservative black man. The libs would hang him if they could.
