ØBAMA BLAMES 'DEMOCRACY' FOR HIS FAILURES
Fox News ^ | 8/4/2011

Posted on 08/04/2011 1:18:48 PM PDT by curth

"It's been a long, tough journey. But we have made some incredible strides together. Yes, we have. But the thing that we all ought to remember is that as much as good as we have done, precisely because the challenges were so daunting, precisely because we we were inheriting so many challenges, that we're not even halfway there yet. When I said 'change we can believe in' I didn't say 'change we can believe in tomorrow.' Not change we can believe in next week. We knew this was going to take time because we've got this big, messy, tough democracy," President Obama said at a campaign fundraiser in Chicago on Wednesday night.

Well, I agree. The “poor” do have a “right” to OWN a cell phone! But, along with that is the RESPONSIBILITY to pay their own bill. The entitlement attitude needs to die a painful death, and now.

Bless your heart Madame, a lady never resorts to profanity, it’s ungracious , unlady-like and in a perfect world profanity should be the province of us uncouth and incorrigible men, redeemed only by the civilizing influence of you gals. I think just the name “Barrack Obama’’ itself should be profanity enough.

The people who voted for this clown should be greatly ashamed of themselves for what they’ve done to this once great nation.

They don't care. As long as the bennies keep comin', they'll continue to love him.


Detroit, 2009: Ken Rogulski interviewing a woman in line for stimulus cash:

ROGULSKI: Why are you here?

WOMAN #1: To get some money.

ROGULSKI: What kind of money?

WOMAN #1: Obama money.

ROGULSKI: Where's it coming from?

WOMAN #1: Obama.

ROGULSKI: And where did Obama get it?

WOMAN #1: I don't know, his stash. I don't know. (laughter) I don't know where he got it from, but he givin' it to us, to help us.

WOMAN #2: And we love him.

WOMAN #1: We love him. That's why we voted for him!

WOMEN: (chanting) Obama! Obama! Obama! (laughing)

The truth may be that this is all a big social experiment run by Harvard to see just how stupid the general public can be. Every day they come up with some new outrage that’s worse than the last and people just take it, shake their heads and move on to the next day’s abomination. And somewhere there is a grad student thinking he’s going to get an A on his test.

What? That scenario isn’t any more insane than what is happening now.

So, are we to take this as an improvement?

That WH finally retires the Bush fault blame?

Yes, if only Obama was declared the Supreme Ruler of the World, he could fix everything.

Ronald Reagan turned an all but dead economy right around in the same “big, messy, tough democracy.”

Excuses excuses excuses, Jugears.

When I said ‘change we can believe in’ I didn’t say ‘change we can believe in tomorrow.’
Since I believe in recycling I will file that statement in my circular file right next to
“We will be out of Libya in a matter of days not weeks”.
