“And if you don’t like folks talking about you, you probably shouldn’t run for president. The one thing I do have no patience for is this argument that somehow what I’m criticizing is success… I want to promote success," Obama said.

Seems to be a dem trait. It used to bug the crap out of me when J F’in Kerry (who served in Vietnam) used to say “I’m not going to stand for it” when the rounds started landing close.

Nope, common tactic of the left. It's called “heightened public awareness”.

Make an off the wall statement, then you make a clarification of the statement out of context with the statement.

The clarification is so utterly ridiculous no one really buys it, then they will keep spinning until they get around to the real context of the statement.

Sit back and watch.

Someone will come up with the spin that the “Workers” are just as important as the “owner” and the “workers” should share in the profits.

“Workers” are just as important to the success of a business as the “CEO” and should make a wage comparable to the CEO’s.

His statement was intended to frame the conversation for a maximum wage based on the income of the lowest paid worker.

When Romney wins in November, will the FR purists that are going to sit out the Presidential election, rejoice that obama lost or scream about the establishment picking our candidate and that they are both the same? Just axing.

I've been wondering the same thing.

—Make an off the wall statement, then you make a clarification of the statement out of context with the statement.—

But that is not what is happening this time. What is happening is that he is claiming he was taken out of context. He is technically correct, but that is irrelevant this time. It is so ripe for ridicule, even when including the entire context, that it is nuclear in its effect on the election.

The “workers importance” card is already being played. But it is not working. The socialists and fascists have been exposed to the light of day. It’s why Obama has no chance in November.

You think his numbers are down now? Just wait.

Here's the way it is supposed to work, whether or not it does has yet to be seen.

The debate about what Zippo has said will continue for a time and the MSM will try and cover for the statement.

A lone “Journalist/commentator” will be selected to start with the spin on the disparity in wages between the “workers” and the “owner” or “CEO” and without the workers there wouldn't be a business.

Doing it this way makes it appear as if the journalist came up with the spin on his own to cover Zippo’s scrawny butt and it wasn't planned out by the Zippo campaign.

The entire news media will then get on the same page and there will be endless stories of the disparity in wages for workers and owners/CEO’s.

You can tell what he said wasn't a mistake because the phony Inseam Warren made the same statement several months back.

They used that statement from Warren for their focus groups to see how it played to the base when given the right spin.

—Here’s the way it is supposed to work...—

And would have, before the internet.

Ask Dan Rather why his “fake but accurate” documents story didn’t go the way it was supposed to. :-)

And the internet is MUCH more mature now. Lots of respectable bloggers are giving the MSM a run for its money. They don’t get away with this sh-—stuff any more.

I find it sickening that this man can raise money telling such lies to the drooling supporters who must not be able to put 2 & 2 together. While saying he supports a shot at success for everyone, and how we are all in this together, and how he appreciates hard work, he does it on the heels of passing an executive order eliminating Clintoon’s welfare reforms requiring recipients to work. MSM? Anyone?

Well, now we know how it is possible for a people to support and endure genocidal madmen like Mussolini, Hitler, Stalin, Pol Pot etc.

We're living and experiencing the same exact thing, right now.

And soon, as the misery caused by these jackals deepens, your neighbors and fellow citizens will be happy to turn you in on a whisper, for the mere promise of bread.

If you think it cannot happen here, you have no clue what history teaches, and what time it currently is.

You're right. It will only work if people go along with the conventional wisdom and let the dems and their butt boys in the MSM frame the debate.

You might have noticed Zippo also said he tried his policies and they worked.

That is a reference to GM and Union ownership.

He's saying workers sharing in the ownership of the business works, the old way didn't work, GM is proof.

See how the off the wall statements that initially seem to be completely disconnected actually start fitting together and fit right in with the socialist Utopian wet dream of a workers paradise where the workers have a say in how the business is run and everyone is equal.

When Zippo said he intended to transform America, he meant it.

THE QUESTION IS... what are you supporters going to do when he starts his progressive governance?

Call, write letters, send emails to Romney, my congress critters, the RNC, and every political SOB that I've sent money to over the past couple of years.

If he gets too progressive, I'll fed-ex him a sealed bag of shit.

Remember, romney and every congress critter wants re-elected and they better not screw the conservatives or maybe it will be time to irrigate the tree of liberty.
