Obama invokes Lombardi in economic pep talk
Journal Sentinel ^ | 1/26/2011 | Tom Kertscher, Don Walker and Thomas Content

"We've got to up our game, we're going to need to go all in, we're going to need to get serious about winning the future," Obama said at Orion Energy Systems, his first stop on his first trip since giving the State of the Union speech Tuesday night.

Without directly naming Lombardi, Obama said the legendary Packers coach "said there is no room for second place, there's only one place in my game and that's first place. That's the kind of determination to win that American needs to show right now."

Obama, a Chicago Bears fan, caused a bit of a stir in Wisconsin last week when he predicted a Bears victory in the NFC Championship game against the Packers and said he planned to attend the Super Bowl if the Bears were in it.

......And may have handed Pittsburgh a championship, because everytime Obama said something about certain sports teams, most of the time, they lose!

Since when did he want America to win at anything, save perhaps the Little Miss Marxist Dictatorship Pageant?

That's not fair! Why, he was successful in getting the Olympics to Chicago.

Wait, what?

What a shallow meathead!

Does he think those phrase have more punch today because we are near the Superbowl?

economic pep talk

After he bashed business as an evil and greedy opponent for the past two years he now claims to be a cheerleader -- just in time to get campaign donations from them. Narcissist that he is, it's really all about him, not the economy or employment.

Why does this clown have to go to Wisconsin after every speech?

And just how many "green energy" plants has the Organizer in Chief visited?

And just how many of the "green energy" plants that he has visited have gone out of business because they can't turn turn a profit and must have government funds to keep their doors open?

All the companies he visits are just like him. Living large on the government teat.
