He said Republicans had driven the economy into a ditch and then stood by and criticized while Democrats pulled it out. Now that progress has been made, he said, "we can't have special interests sitting shotgun. We gotta have middle class families up in front. We don't mind the Republicans joining us. They can come for the ride, but they gotta sit in back."...
Obama can "take his endorsement and shove it," declared Democrat Frank Caprio, battling Republican-turned-independent Lincoln Chafee in a gubernatorial race rated tight in the polls. Chafee endorsed Obama during the 2008 campaign for the White House.

I can never get to much of that car in a ditch analogy. I guess when you have no accomplishments to car about, idiotic storytelling is the only option.

Imagine if a Republican politician said this about Democrats. This man cannot open his mouth without inciting the spectre of racism.

Funny how he uses that car story, when they own 2 car company’s eventually will fail because of the unions.

Amazing. Obama is neither “a man of the people” nor presidential. He is just a fake, an empty shell upon whom the unwashed masses have projected their best hopes. This will end badly for America.
To: coaltrain
Why doesn’t he just say “You gotta sit in the back of the bus, crackers!”? It’s what he means.

What an immature, unpresidential thing to say. What a POS he is. I wish nothing but the worst on this evil tyrant. May he rot in hell.

Ignorant, arrogant ba$tard. Obama took a serious but manageable problem and made it 10 times worse.

That MF gets a metaphor, he hangs on to it, doesn't he?The batteries in in teleprompTer must have died.
What is happening is, he's in the ditch, and we're building a sports car right next to his ditch, and in November we're going to hop in and leave his ass stranded with all of the crap he's put on us.
He won't have time to get his car out of the ditch, the seats will be upholstered with supoenas.
So FUBO and the car you forced into the ditch...

When i hear that analogy, I think of Thelma and Louise going over the cliff.
Do these Dems really believe we’re in recovery? I think we’re already doomed because of the weak dollar. There’s no way to combat the laws of supply and demand. Too much supply of US debt now and no demand.

"We don't mind the Republicans joining us. They can come for the ride, but they gotta sit in back." First post-partisan president, my ass. This jerk is a fool and a total embarrassment to the country.

He said it in Boston last weekend as well. Glad his remarks are getting traction in the media this time.
