President-elect Barack Obama says there can't be any "idle hands" at a time when so many people are enduring hardships.

During a visit to an emergency homeless shelter for teens in the nation's capital, Obama said that given the "crisis" the nation is facing, "everybody's going to have to pitch in." And he said Americans are "ready to do that."

Hey B.O.!
What’s the difference between “pitching in” and you deciding what I get to keep?

Clue:
“pitching in” is MY decision.
You deciding is somewhere between “SOCIALISM” and “THEFT”!

Just hearing that creep speak pi$$es me off.

President Elect Obama did a good thing. It’s about time the HOMELESS people in America he was talking to started pitching in. Give the guy a chance. HE IS the President....get over it.

Has anyone else here read the last few books of Terry Goodkind’s Sword of Truth series? I’m refering to Emperor Jagang’s socialist utopia.

Yes, this is magic & dragons fantasy series, but with an extremely comtemporary political subtext and a quintessential conservative hero.

I wonder what Mr. Goodkind is thinking today as he watches his prophecy unfold in real life?

I help in my own way as I have always done.

In other news his family i Kenya are living in mud huts and his auntie lives on handouts in the projects while she’s illegal

What the media never mentioned this?

[mrs tiggywinkle]

my thoughts exactly.

Barack, tell that to the idle homies who actually LIVE in DC. Tell them the “idle hands” line. Go ahead, girly man.

“Animalism” at its finest! The sheeple will follow the pigs (with or without lipstick). Folks, welcome to the new “Animal Farm”, starring Barry Soetoro as Napoleon.

Doesn’t the Obamessiah realize his supporters are expecting MORE handouts? He has to pay their mortgage and gas bills now too.

agreed. I just don’t get that. Pitch in ? what the heck does that mean? Between state and federal taxes, I pay somewhere between 40 and 50 % of my income.

abolish the Fed Income Tax, or at the very least go to a flat tax of 10 % and I’ll think about “pitching in”.. picking up trash or whatever.

and the weird thing is, we do pitch in! anyone remember how much money was given to the Tsunami Relief Effort?

but I guess with Dems, it’s never enough.

Peggy the Moocher won’t like that one bit!

[jennyjenny]

I've been "pitching in" all my life. I will continue "pitching in" when, where and IF I choose to.

President Obama is certainly entitled to the same degree of cooperation from conservatives that leftists offered President Bush.

[Citizen Blade]

Sorry I won’t be helping.

LOL. Like it's up to you- he'll just raise taxes to make sure that "you do your fair share."

I've been looking for a new series to read. I've read and re-read the late Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time series so much that they're dog-eared.
