Is there a sound clip for this? It would make for a great commercial.

He's definitely got the arrogance thing going on. Honestly, I think he's at least a bit of a sociopath as well.

I challenge anyone out there, assuming that he actually believes what he said is true, that this man is not clinically insane.

Can't believe this man's chutzpah ...
I can't believe so many were fooled by him in 2008.
Even worse - I can't believe how many still support him.

Can't believe this man's chutzpah:

Watching him give this little, Americans-are-lazy, speech... He just dripped with arrogance and condescension.

What a perverted, evil, muslim-communist ninnyhammer!

With some American citizens contemplating a move out of the United States due to the present regime, it’s not surprising that Uncle Bama isn’t looked upon as a paragon of trust and efficacy.

The ant works hard in the withering heat and the rain all summer long, building his house and laying up supplies for the winter.

The grasshopper thinks the ant is a fool and laughs and dances and plays the summer away.

Come winter, the shivering grasshopper calls a press conference and demands to know why the ant should be allowed to be warm and well fed while he is cold and starving.

CBS, NBC, PBS, CNN, and ABC show up to provide pictures of the shivering grasshopper next to a video of the ant in his comfortable home with a table filled with food. America is stunned by the sharp contrast.

How can this be, that in a country of such wealth, this poor grasshopper is allowed to suffer so?

Kermit the Frog appears on Oprah with the grasshopper and everybody cries when they sing, 'It's Not Easy Being Green...'

ACORN stages a demonstration in front of the ant's house where the news stations film the SEIU group singing, 'We Shall Overcome.'

Then Rev. Jeremiah Wright has the group kneel down to pray for the grasshopper's sake, while he damns the ants.

President Obama condemns the ant and blames President Bush 43, President Bush 41, President Reagan, Christopher Columbus, and the Pope for the grasshopper's plight.

Nancy Pelosi & Harry Reid exclaim in an interview with Larry King that the ant has gotten rich off the back of the grasshopper, and both call for an immediate tax hike on the ant to make him pay his fair share.

Finally, the EEOC drafts the Economic Equity & Anti-Grasshopper Act retroactive to the beginning of the summer.

The ant is fined for failing to hire a proportionate number of green bugs and, having nothing left to pay his retroactive taxes, his home is confiscated by the Government Green Czar and given to the grasshopper.

The story ends as we see the grasshopper and his free-loading friends finishing up the last bits of the ant's food while the government house he is in, which, as you recall, just happens to be the ant's old house, crumbles around them because the grasshopper doesn't maintain it.

The ant has disappeared in the snow, never to be seen again.

The grasshopper is found dead in a drug related incident, and the house, now abandoned, is taken over by a gang of spiders who terrorize the ramshackle, once prosperous and peaceful, neighborhood.

The entire nation collapses bringing the rest of the free world with it.

MORAL OF THE STORY: Be careful how you vote in 2012.

"But we've been a little bit lazy, I think, over the last couple of decades. We've kind of taken for granted -- well, people will want to come here and we aren't out there hungry, selling America and trying to attract new business into America, Obama said.

We've had four Ivy League presidents over those twenty years.

Besides being a nation of cowards, now we’re a little lazy. They have to go.

He is the Pied Piper of the lazy, the moochers, the envious and the born followers.

He knows there is still a very large segment of America who listen to what he says instead of looking at the damage he does.

On the one hand you invite businesses to come, perhaps with some short term incentive, and on the other hand load them up with impossible requirements and regulations making it cost prohibitive. Is he as ignorant as it appears??

Interesting word (”lazy”) coming from a man who’s never had a real job in his entire life.

"In Africa, you often see that the difference between a village where everybody eats and a village where people starve is government. One has a functioning government, and the other does not.
Which is why it bothers me when I hear people say that government is the enemy. They don't understand its fundamental role."

~Barack Obama

Obama said it's important to remember that the U.S. is still the largest receiver of foreign investment in the world and things like stability, openness and innovative free market culture are attractive.

Something I'm sure that you'll 'rectify' should you be elected to a second-term, Your Highness! /sarc
