Obama: Foes put party ahead of country
Washington Times ^ | 8/16/11 | Dave Boyer

PEOSTA, Iowa — A day after clashing with a tea party activist, President Obama Tuesday told crowds here that it was "a faction in Congress" that was to blame for blocking economic progress. At a rural jobs forum, Mr. Obama ticked off a list of pending bills that he said would create jobs. "The only thing that's preventing us from passing the bills I just mentioned is the refusal of a faction in Congress to put country ahead of party," the president said in a thinly veiled reference to House Republicans backed by the tea party. "That has to stop."

Obama puts Obama ahead of everything!

He has no loyalty to either country or party.

Thanks Nachum.
"a faction in Congress" that was to blame for blocking economic progress
Yeah, that faction in its current form has been blocking economic progress since 1933. It's called the Democratic Party.

That was not a political campaign speech.

No siree Bob.

Not a campaign speech.

Not political at all.

Nope.

Obama wouldn’t lie, would he?

“(CBS News) Sen. Jon Kyl, R-Ariz., said Sunday he was “confident” that Congress would reach a deal on raising the debt ceiling - but that President Obama would first have to decide to put the nation’s economic interests ahead of his re-election campaign.

In an appearance on CBS’ “Face the Nation,” Kyl argued that a short-term extension - which would increase the debt limit ceiling into next year - was a viable option, but that the president objected to it because “the single most important thing to [him] is extending this beyond his re-election campaign.”

Says the guy who made it a condition any debt deal would extend beyond a political election or else he’d be just like those fearful hobbits terrorizing the nation with default.

“KRAUTHAMMER: This is Obama at his most sanctimonious, demagogic, self-righteous and arrogant. And given the baseline it wasn’t a pretty sight. Look, he started out by summoning the leaders of Congress — summoning them — at 11:00. Who does he think he is? In the American system, the executive and Congress are coequal. In a banana republic, the caudillo will summon the members of the Congress. The way he demanded their appearance in the Oval Office I thought was disgraceful. The branches are coequal.

Second, on this issue he said “We have set forth a plan.” He has set forth nothing. Nor has the Democratic controlled Senate. The Republicans offered a detailed plan. The Ryan plan in the House, and they offered Cut, Cap and Balance this time around. The President has offered nothing except he says if you go in the back room now my staff will give you a tick-tock of everything I’m supposed to have given. He has never once spoken about real cuts.

And lastly, what was interesting is even at this late date where he says that the fate of the republic hangs on the debt ceiling extension, he said if given a short extension of, say, half a year I won’t except it. Why? because he says I want this to go past election day. That is entirely self-serving and political, and he pretends he’s the one who’s not interested in politics.”

Obama Support Among White Voters Slumps

I guess this article confirms that some Whites once they have gone Barack, can go back. All may not be lost after all...

Today on “Special Report” Krauthammer also pointed out that Zero saying Congressional Tea Partiers are putting their political interests before that of the country is essentially calling them treasonous...same as Perry said about Bernanke.

Krauthammer said Palin “didn’t go to the right schools.”

He actually lost me right there.

These guys are DC insiders and are scared sh!tless of cowboy boots.

I bet they wouldn’t know jerky from summer sausage.

“Obama the “talking crop circle”

Thanks to Lucianne for this morning’s coffee spewer:

Is Obama a modern day Piltdown Man? Cardiff Giant? A talking crop circle? A concerned columnist is just asking.

The comment is referring to a column by “Obama girl” Margery Eagan: When backing Barack feels like joining a cult. Eagan is getting a little nervous. Actress Halle Berry wants to pick up paper cups for Obama, actor George Clooney wants to follow him “somewhere, anywhere”, Obama supporter Susan Sarandon can’t wait to find out what he stands for...

At campaign rallies people scream, cry, even faint as Obama calmly calls for the EMTs. When supporters pant en masse, “I love you!” (like The Beatles, circa 1964), Barack says, “I love you back” with that deliciously charming, almost cocky smile.

Oh - I’m nervous because it’s all gone to his head and he hasn’t even won yet.”

“That has to stop.”?!?!?!?!?!?

NO, YOU have to stop! We the People decide,
“That has to stop.” is our battle cry! This makes us even more likely to vote you out. America is not about to have a king. if we did we wouldn't choose a Marxist non-leader like Obama.

Zero needs to be a little more careful about what he says.

Lenin said much the same about the Whites as the Revolution labored on to its inevitable result.
