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.

Am watching Brett’s show on Fox and he showed some clips from BO’s speech. What was with the cadaver makeup he was wearing?
Charles pointed out that when BO named Boehner EIGHT times in his attack today, he looked very weak. Keep it up, Urkel.

Re post 19. Hussein has been blaming "the public" since the last presidential campaign. Remember the "bitter...clinging to their bibles and their guns"
We are too stupid to understand his brilliance. We don't deserve him.

Re post 37. Do not have any worries about Hussein "getting down to work". Check his record. Affirmative action made sure he never had to work. Not in school. Not at the Harvard Law Review where he published ZERO articles. Not after school when he was a "community organizer". Not in the Illinois senate where he was "present". Not in the US senate.
Do you actually think he is going to start working now? He knows how to complain, how to speak well, how to look good, how to blame others. He does not know how to work.

Remind me again what the unemployment rate was the day the Democrats took control of Congress.

I recieved the first year of my college education at Tri-C west - the location of Obambi's speech today. I have a couple of friends that live less than a mile from there. Tried to talk them into standing along York Road with an "Impeach Obama" sign, but I doubt that they did it.
It's a shame that the school had to allow this idiot to speak from their facility.

Hes in full throttle campaign mode now.He's been in campaign mode his entire presidency. That's all he knows, and he isn't really that good at it. Without his supporting staff (mainstream media), he'd probably have had to get a real job by now.

The Ghoul!!!
“Round, firm and fully-packed
It was hanging on the rack
Someone stole the keeshka
When I turned my back
Who stole the keeshka
Who stole the keeshka
Who stole the keeshka
Someone call the cop”
If you’re a true Parma-ite, you remember this great song.

I just meant, that if he has a psychotic break, it would result in a full blown personality swtich and he would adjust his view of reality. Given what it is now, he would ned up facing all these problems and actually working on them.

Follow what is happening right now. He is trying to lead the band, but nobody is following him. He is delusional. He is in full panic mode, just throwing stuff out there.
I appreciate that you think some kind of "psychotic episode" will turn him around. I am not that optimistic. He will go down this road until the end. I refer you to another charismatic, delusional, narcissist who led a powerful western country in the first part of the last century. He just kept doubling down also. It didn't end too well for him, or the citizens of his country.
