Obama Takes Aim at Republicans

President Barack Obama, in a combative, campaign-like speech in Parma, Ohio, conceded that his policies have "fed the perception that Washington is still ignoring the middle class," even as he castigated Republican opponents for "riding…fear and anger all the way to Election Day."
The speech, at Cuyahoga Community College, was billed as a major economic address to unveil a new round of proposals to kick-start a flagging economic recovery. The president did introduce three new policy proposals the White House has been rolling out for nearly a week: $50 billion in additional infrastructure spending, a permanent and expanded research and experimentation tax credit and a measure allowing businesses to write 100% of their investment costs off their taxes through 2011.
But Mr. Obama's speech was far more about politics than economics.
"If we're willing again to choose hope over fear, to choose the future over the past, to come together once more around the great project of national renewal, then we will restore our economy, rebuild our middle class and reclaim the American dream for the next generation," he said, striking the same cadences that buoyed his presidential bid.

Obama is an arsonist who works for the fire department, pretending to put out what he himself caused.

Boehner gave a speech in Ohio, and Obama flew there to respond to him. Maybe Boehner should give his next speech in Arizona

“It is going to be an absolute bloodbath in November. Hussein will not serve out his term. He will either resign or be impeached. “
Either that or have a psychotic break and start working, actually working, on the problem.
