Obama uses the hammer and nail cliche-

OK, there might be some truth to that!

To a soldier, every nail needs hammered.

To an engineer, the nail needs made lighter and stronger.

To the business man, a nail is a way to make money and has a supply and demand curve.

To the lawyer, all the nail manufacturers need sued.

To the teacher, a nail is something that needs explained to others.

To the police man, a nail is something that can be used as a weapon, or to puncture tires...

But what about a community organizer that went to law school, built his career on race baiting and provincial politics, how does he see a nail? The answer which tipped his hand and told what he is all about can be found in the Beer Summit.

I hate it when Obama pretends to sound like an American.

Cliche is right. Between that and straw man arguments, lies, and me me I I mine, my....he’d have just about nothing to say.

Obama the hammer:

He thinks he is a powerful tool, but he is only full of hot air!

Community organizers get away with cliches because their audience confuses them with wisdom.

This was meant as a slight to the crowd: “Just because we have the best hammer does not mean that every problem is a nail.”

In the same straw man vane as, from the Romney debate: “We don’t fight with bayonets anymore, we have these things called aircraft carriers.”

Sitting in the Oval Office doesn’t mean you’re an American either.

I’m betting that Obama has never done much home repair work.

“Barack, the dishwasher keeps running.”

“Jiggle the handle. That works with the toilet.”

No, most of our problems are because of you, Obama!

As if you even know what a hammer or a nail looks like.

He just thinks that the hammer AND the cycle are the answer to the problem.
