With Tea Party protesters gathered outside, President Barack Obama said Thursday he understood the anger and frustration in the country but insisted his policies would move the nation forward. (snip) Out on the street, conservative protesters withstood stormy weather to express their concerns with signs criticizing Obama and Blumenthal. Some held Revolutionary War-era flags depicting a coiled snake and the "Don't Tread on Me" slogan, while other placards in the crowd of mostly white, middle-aged demonstrators said "B.O. Stinks," "I am not your ATM," and "Stop Socialism, vote Nov. 2."

Obama: 'I know you are but what am I"....

or

'Nyah Nyah Nyah'

I am fearful and frustrated and have been since Obama was elected. That’s why I will only vote for true conservatives.

[rovenstinez]

A little deep soul searching needs to be done, the people are making their VOICES heard, I wonder if anyone in Washington DC will listen.

[cranked]

The only fear coming out of any party that I am hearing is from ..... the DemoRATS, the AnnointedIdiot, and his merry band of idiots continually spouting idiocy. =.=

We are offering old ideas, Einstein. That’s the point. That’s why we call ourselves “conservatives.” We believe there’s something here to conserve.

[ilovesarah2012]

Seems like they are holding their ears and yelling “la la la la”.

New ideas?

How about old ideas that are tested and true.

Thousands of years of civilization did learn a thing or two...

his policies would move the nation forward

Which sounds really great until you realize we're on the precipice.

[FlingWingFlyer]

Sounds like Barry has a severe case of GrandOldPartyphobia.

[Sir Gawain]

in the crowd of mostly white, middle-aged

Like your workforce. FU CNN.

You’re right, Odumbo.No new ideas. Only a very old one-liberty.

"President Barack Obama said Thursday he understood the anger and frustration in the country but insisted his policies would move the nation forward."

No, dumbass; the Tea Party is all about returning to The Constitution, and to remove your ass (ineligible ass, actually) from screwing up the greatest Republic in the World (at least it WAS before your Progressive/Socialist/Communist/Liberal power mongers got hold of it).

[Paladin2]

As it turns out, the intellect of the Founders so eclipses that of Zer0, it’s like looking at the moon rock of Mecca at high noon on the summer solstice.

[GoCards]

Listen Asswipe. We are offering ideas. You are so blinded by yourself you dont listen. Fool......

Obama: GOP relying on fear, frustration instead of offering new ideas

If it weren't for the politics of fear, the Democrats would not be able to campaign. Remind me again which party it is that is going to take your Social Security away? As for new ideas, who is the one still serving up the ideas of Leon Trotsky and Karl Marx?

[griswold3]

Someone ask Obama just WHO is using tired old ideas that belong on the ash heap of history!
Keynesianism? Epic Fail!

Nothing gets past this guy.

Of course people are scared & frustrated - we're riding in the car a rank commie amateur is driving right off a cliff.

And why would we want 'new ideas' when the old ones are exactly whats needed?

Is this all he's got?

Lessee...largest continuous economic expansion, unemployment at 4% and a DOW over 14000..

Oh THOSE failed policies.
Instead of El Zee-rho bright plans that stole 1.6 trillion dollars from us and squandered it on union payoffs, no jobs and 9.5% unemployment.

Yeah...lets keep trying his plans some more.

[TribalPrincess2U]

Give it a rest....YOU LOSE!

The democrats are definitively the party of fear (”The Republicans want to take away your social security” etc.), and their attempt to hang this on others is blatant hypocrisy (although Obama is probably doesn't even realize it). Further, socialism and communism are not ‘new’ ideas, they're old ideas that we've previously rejected as a nation, and that have been proved defective in several ‘large scale’ societal experiments (e.g. the USSR). Further still, some ‘old’ ideas are actually the best ideas, like the idea that you should succeed in life on the basis of your own efforts, or the idea that self control and personal responsibility are good traits that should be championed, or that exposing children to gratuitous sex and profanity should be strongly avoided, or that peeing on a religious symbol is not art.

The list goes on. Obama, you just don't understand that the liberal elites in academia are actually the least capable of leading the world, and among the least knowledgeable
