OBAMA: What I reject is when some folks say we should go back to the past policies when it was those very same policies that got us into this mess in the first place. (Applause.) 
Another way of putting it is when, you know, I'm busy and Nancy busy with our mop cleaning up somebody else's mess --- we don't want somebody sitting back saying, you're not holding the mop the right way. (Applause.) Why don't you grab a mop, why don't you help clean up. (Applause.) You're not mopping fast enough. (Laughter.) That's a socialist mop. (Laughter and applause.) Grab a mop -- let's get to work.

    What a disingenuous POS you are. Not only are you continuing what hasn’t worked you are making it far worse.

    The problems we face in the Middle East are Jimmy Carter’s mess. And he continues to cause problems there.

    What I reject is when some folks say we should go back to the past policies when it was those very same policies that got us into this mess in the first place. Why not prosecute Democrats like Barney Frank and Chris Dodd and Louis Freeh and Jamie Gorelick who's corrupt business practices PERMITTED the financial collapse to happen.

    After a mean dust storm, in Garden City, Kansas, 1956, 4 inches of dirt/dust silted in, and I thought I would MOP it up, it turned to mud. I think we need a BROOM and sweep out all of the DIRT, and stop blaming in on someone else.
 
To: ianschwartz
    To the Democrats, the past policies which caused the mess are the policies of capitalism. His mop is socialism.

    That’s exactly where he belongs - with a real mop. There’s plenty of messes to clean up on the south side of Chicago.

    you just KNOW the next time 2 million of us show up in DC we’re all going to be carrying mops! :)
 
To: ianschwartz
    The SOCIALIST mess he’s cleaning up was created by Democrats (socialists) primarily from the CRA debacle that shoveled trillions into Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac in the form of sub-prime mortgages. The Dems pressured banks into backing these bad loans, including financial support for ACORN, starting as early as the late 1970s under the Peanut Farmer and really got a steroid boost in 1996 during the Clinton era(error).
Sorry, Hussein, but the onus is on you and your SOCIALIST party.
