Campaigning Obama says Republicans push 'snake oil'
Reuters ^ | 10-22-10 | Caren Bohan

Posted on 10/22/2010 3:38:33 PM PDT by Justaham

President Barack Obama accused Republicans on Friday of peddling discredited "snake oil ideas" about the U.S. economy as he tried to win votes for struggling Democrats in a battle for control of the Senate.

Obama campaigned in Los Angeles for veteran California Senator Barbara Boxer, who faces a tough challenge from Carly Fiorina, the former chief executive of Hewlett-Packard. The president then headed to Nevada to stump for Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, who is in a fight for his political life.

"This is a choice between the policies that got us into this mess and the policies that will get us out," Obama told a crowd of about 37,000 people at the University of Southern California just 11 days before congressional elections that are widely seen as a midterm referendum on his record.

I wonder who is paying for all Obama’s campaign travel around the country? American taxpayers?

Zero is a lying sack of sh*t! Cut taxes on businesses,, eliminate business-killing regulations and open up ALL US territory for oil drilling. Do these things and watch business activity increase exponentially and unemployment will be a thing of the past in America.

Yep...we're the OIL, and he's the SNAKE, and we're going to slide him right out of here...

On her way to welfare one morning ,
Down the path along side the lake,
A bleeding-hearted liberal,
saw a half-frozen snake.
His almond colored skin,
had been all frosted with the dew,
"Messiah," she cried, "I'll take you in,
I'll even vote of you
."

"Take me in oh fellow liberal,
Take me in, for allah's sake,
Take me in oh fellow liberal,
"
sighed the politician snake.

She wrapped him up all cozy,
‘cause she was wallowing in guilt,
And then laid him by the fireside,
with some money and some milk;
That night she hurried home from welfare,
and soon as she arrived,
That politician snake she'd taken in was fully revived .

"Take me in oh fellow liberal,
Take me in, for allah's sake,
Take me in oh fellow liberal,
"
sighed the politician snake.

Now she gave him all her riches,
"You're my messiah!" she cried,
"But if I hadn't voted you in,
by now, your career might have died.
";
Now she stroked his pretty almond skin,
and then she kissed him goodnight,
But instead of saying thanks,
the serpent gave her a bite.

"Take me in oh fellow liberal,
Take me in, for allah's sake,
Take me in oh fellow liberal,
"
sighed the politician snake.

"But I voted for you," cried that liberal,
And now I see you’ve lied!”,
You know your bite is lethal,
and now I'm going to die
”;
"Oh shut up, you stupid liberal,"
said the serpent with a grin,
"You knew I was a low-down snake,
before you voted me in.
.

"Take me in oh STUPID liberal,
Take me in, for allah's sake,
Take me in oh STUPID liberal,
"
LAUGHED the politician snake.

He’s gone from slurpees to snake oil?

He’s been in office way too long to still be riding the Bush Bad, Me Good horse.

Well, I’d go back to the “way things were” when the hated “Bush” and the Republicans were in control. It didn’t start going down the toidy until Pelosi, Reid and the Democrats took over 4 yrs. ago; then Obama in the driver’s seat for two years without even a learner’s permit really cinched it.

LMAO *THE* snake oil salesman of the century (with Chuckie Schumer, Chris Dodd, Rahm, Barney Frank and Pelosi coming in second)who are evil and corrupt; is proclaiming this?

Obama is desperate and Obama is of the devil. And no I am not demonizing him... just stating the outright truth.

A little ironic...coming from a snake-oil salesman.

If voters were smart people like he is, and didn't cling to their guns, or religion, they would have more appreciation for his brilliance and his wise leadership. /sarc
