Alinsky-style out in the open!

"This week's visit was Obama's third trip to the St. Louis area since he took office last year.

At Wednesday's speech at St. Charles High, Obama was joined by several local Democratic officials. One noticeable absence was Democratic Senate hopeful and Missouri Secretary of State Robin Carnahan, who has attempted to distance herself from Obama. Carnahan, the state's chief security regulator, was in Washington on Wednesday talking to lawmakers about financial reform. ...

Obama pledged to keep fighting.

"I don't get worn down. I wear them down," the president said. "Don't give up on me now we're just getting started!"

...Outside, several hundred protesters representing a wide spectrum of viewpoints stood on nearby street corners, chanting slogans and yelling at one another through bullhorns.

A large group of local Tea Party activists gathered on one corner, while a smaller group of Obama supporters set up shop on another corner. Across the street was a mixed bag of protesters and activists who seemed less vocal.

...Hours before Obama's speech, as many as 2,000 people gathered for a Republican rally at the St. Charles Convention Center.

"I have a question that I respectfully ask of my president," Missouri Lt. Gov. Peter Kinder said. "What part of 'no' don't you understand?" ....

Some gems from the post:

"I have a question that I respectfully ask of my president," Missouri Lt. Gov. Peter Kinder said. "What part of 'no' don't you understand?"

"This is Pelosi versus the people, and we stand with the people," Kinder said, adding that Democratic measures would turn the country "into something that is unrecognizable." "But we the people will have the final say," he added.

"He is trying to cram it through. He has shown that he is not listening," Bond, who is retiring when his term ends this year, said. "He thinks if he talks very slowly, we will understand."

All I hear in the MSM is the tea partiers are old people. So is Obama saying he is going to be cruel to and wear down the elderly?? Not in my lifetime....

I can’t remember being on edge on a daily basis wondering what destructive, wasteful, or dangerous pronouncements will come out of the WH or congress. Not even, during the Carter administration. He at least took some days off between disasters and hunkered down in his office. We seriously need a republican majority in November to put this guy in a box until the next presidential election.

First he makes us sick - then he makes us mad.

I hope his health care plan is prepared to treat 300million Americans suffering from one massive mental breakdown.

Will Berry use crack, or simply crack from all pressure being put on him by his union bosses? I don’t think his puny shoulders can stand much more.

From speech:

"Washington is a place where tax dollars are often treated like Monopoly money," Obama said, "where waste — even billions of dollars in waste — is accepted as the price of doing business."

Another manipulation. He is Washington.

Also pretty stupid as he has now juiced his opponents to the max with this challenge. He may have just blown-up his own presidency.

He seems to think the entire country is the same as his followers - WEAK minded and WEAK willed.

Carter? LOL! Try Clinton! Weekly multiple crisis, Friday data dumps, ever new atrocities, for eight solid years, right up until they stuffed the silverware under their coats and ripped the logos off AF1!

Obama's nothing new - he's just a lightweight punk front for the Clinton machine that rebranded itself as the Chicago machine. Where do you think Rahm and Axelrod came from? They're Clintonites. Pelosi and Reid and the rest of creatures crawled after Hillary long before they jumped to the Messiah. Only now, there's no Lady Macbeth at the helm - except perhaps to infiltrate from inside and bring down the WH so the Rats will switch back to Hillary. After all, WHY would her people join Obama's team, if not to sabotage it?

..............”I don’t get worn down. I wear them down,” the president said.”..............

What ignorance, arrogance and thugduggary! This is a President? No..I don’t think so.

Never in our nations history have we had such disrespect and outright vile statements made and done by our President and his admin. Would have never imagined this...and he’s not done yet. I knew we’d have a ride...but his actions and agenda is beyond comprehension!.... Expect the worst.
