Obama on tour: ‘I make no apologies for being reasonable’
Associated Press ^ | 8/16/11 | Jim Kuhnhenn

DECORAH, Iowa — Hitting back against an emboldened GOP, President Barack Obama launched a rare direct attack Monday on the Republican presidential field, criticizing his potential 2012 rivals for their blanket opposition to any deficit-cutting compromise involving new taxes.“That’s just not common sense,” Obama told the crowd at a town hall-style meeting in Cannon Falls, Minn., as he kicked off a three-day bus tour through Minnesota, Iowa and Illinois.“You’ve got to be willing to compromise to move the country forward,” the president said later in the day as he delivered the same message at a town hall in Decorah, Iowa.

Between this gaffe, the “I’m a victim of bad luck” comment, and his attempt to defend Joe Biden’s terrorist crack to the Tea Partiers, Barry should just pack it up and head back to D.C. before he inflicts any more damage on himself.

Is this satire? Zero is the head of the DNC, no?

Unleashed from Washington, Obama declares war on House Republicans (On the dole again...)

House Democrat: “We wouldn`t cut entitlements or the rate of increase for Obama”

The wheels on the bus go round and round,
Round and round, round and round.
The wheels on the bus go round and round
All around the town.

The President on the bus goes “No apologies!
No apologies! No apologies!”
The President on the bus goes “No apologies”
All around the town.

The media on the bus goes “Waa! Waa! Waa!
Waa! Waa! Waa! Waa! Waa! Waa!”
The media on the bus goes “Waa! Waa! Waa!”
All around the town.

The people on the street say “We need jobs!
We need jobs! We need jobs!”
The people on the street say “We need jobs!”
All around the town.

The Democrats on the bus go round and round
Round and round, round and round.
The Democrat on the bus go round and round
And the people are in misery.

I'm no longer surprised when he Doubles Down.

He really does not give a sh*t whether he's re-elected or not. His whole focus is doing as much damage to America as possible.

Imagine the gall of those Republicans accusing Barry of being reasonable.

what’s his definition of ‘reasonable’?

He really needs to provide the dictionary he’s using. How are we supposed to know what he’s saying when he (or his administration) uses words like

transparency
hope
change
terrorist
reasonable

They are obviously using some alternate definitions of those words. Especially when he starts the comment with “let me be clear” he should use the standard definition. But that’s how he indicates that the following sentence will be using alternate definitions.

Obama's trying to pick up the Economy with a Giant Hearse. Now THAT is desperation.

“I make no apologies for being reasonable.”

I know it’s the Ass.Pimps, but it reminds me of that woman no one had ever heard of (Rula Lenski?) who would come on the TV screen and ask, “Don’t hate me for being beautiful.”

“You’ve got to be willing to compromise to move the country forward”

Moving forward does NOT mean a progressive march to Communism.

Photobucket

It was the Communist plan in 1934. It is 0bama’s Communist plan today.

How about being apologetic for being incompetent?

That shoe sure fits.

you have to be willing to "compromise" to move the company forward"

Obama has been throwing this word around alot lately. There are several definitions of "compromise". Seeings how he is a lot smarter than the rest of us I believe he is expecting us to think he is talking about the convential meaning when he is using it as:

an endangering, especially of reputation; exposure to danger, suspicion, etc.: a compromise of one's integrity.
