Obama: GOP relying on fear, frustration instead of offering new ideas
cnn ^ | 9/16/10 | staff

Posted on 09/16/2010 6:34:12 PM PDT by Nachum

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 should be convicted of treason, fraud, subversion, and racketeering, and thrown into a dank prison cell until there's nothing left but two big ears atop a pile of rat-gnawed bones.

"But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: for men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away, for his name is Obama."

I am terribly sicken by the child we have in charge. He’s constant complaining of “why me?”, is already a pathetic example of his demeanor. However, what gets me going most is the constant strain the media puts on America by always seeing things in color. “Mostly white, middle aged....” is exactly the kind of thinking that gave us segregation in the first place. When will the rest of Americans wake up to how racist this media and Government really is ? Remember Hitler said what he would do way in advance and then everyone was shocked, which solidifies my theory that hiding in plain sight, in this case admitting, is the best way to keep hidden.

“I am fearful and frustrated and have been since Obama was elected. That’s why I will only vote for true conservatives”.
That is rather simple minded.
Voting is and may always be the lesser of two evils.
In my 30 years of voting, the only viable option was to vote against the democRAT.
Yes, I’m conservative, but I would never vote for anyone who was or is a democRAT.
They are the enemy of patriotic Americans.

Why does Barry think we need new ideas? Seems the problems would be solved if we returned to a Calvin Coolidge style hands-off President who quietly just let people go about their business. I’m all for renewable energy like solar and electric cars and think the technologies would develop much faster without Barry and the Federal Government getting in the way. Barry does not get it. Everyone keeps telling him, but he’s clueless.

“I won...I trump you on that.”

Pinche chin**da pendejo...

“As for new ideas, who is the one still serving up the ideas of Leon Trotsky and Karl Marx?”

He is not up to Trotsky yet. He has to stretch to almost get his head around Lenin’s New Economic Policy of 1922, which is what has been imposed on the US in a modified, monetarized form.

If he were a student of Trotsky, he would be pondering this:
“A successful revolution remains impossible until conditions make one inevitable.”

I am done voting for the lesser of two evils. Evil is still evil.

instead of offering new ideas

The Democrats are not accepting ideas from Republicans. It would be casting pearls before the swine, anyway.

the crowd of mostly white, middle-aged demonstrators

Note to idiot CNN "journalist":

Is there something unexpected, strange, or wrong with most of the demonstrators being "white" and "middle-aged" that you thought it newsworthy enough to mention?

If so, then why didn't you also mention that Blumenthal happens to be "white" and "middle-aged"?

Why wasn't it worth mentioning that Blumenthal (and Obama) went to that part of Connecticut to raise money for his campaign precisely because it is largely populated by "white", "middle-aged", and "rich" Democrat donors?

Fracking CNN imbeciles...

If he understood the anger and frustration, then he wouldn't BS us with that "moving the nation forward" crap.

Who needs a new plan? Less government, less spending, less
dependency on government. Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord is an old, old idea that doesn't need any improvement.

Exactly why I voted McCain in 2008 - even though I hated him. Better than Obama!

You have to vote for what does the most good.
If you stand prideful, you end up with rats like Zero.
McCain was a rat republican basterd, but he was better than what we have now.
So all you “hold your vote” conservatives, how do you like the president your failure to vote helped put in office?

Ok, how are these for two “new” ideas, dear leader:

- Responsible financial behavior by individuals, businesses, banks, Wall Street investment firms, cities, states, and the federal government, and

- Spending boat-loads of borrowed money is not financially responsible.
