President Obama, fresh off his first Washington apology tour, grew combative Wednesday, asserting that America voted for him, not the other guy, and demanding that lawmakers "put aside politics" -- well, Republican lawmakers, anyway.
A day before he headed to a luxury resort to meet behind closed doors with Democrats, the Harvard graduate lectured the less economically astute, ridiculing the Reaganomics Doctrine held dear by Republicans, who prefer tax cuts to new spending to bounce America out of its financial mess.
"Now, in the past few days I've heard criticisms of this plan that echo the very same failed theories that helped lead us into this crisis -- the notion that tax cuts alone will solve all our problems," the president said at the White House. "I reject that theory, and so did the American people when they went to the polls in November and voted resoundingly for change."
The statement, the first of its kind in public, was reminiscent of what Mr. Obama said in private just days after taking office. In the White House's Roosevelt Room, he told a Republican senator who opposed an element of the stimulus package that "I won. I will trump you on that."

What Theory ? What failed Policies ?
Give Details Dufus . . . Get yer feet on the ground with some substative details.
Generally speaking I don’t understand what you’re talking about El Presidente. You ain’t in South Chicago anymore, Talk don’t Preach.
“he thinks that We are stupid.”
NAH! He just thinks that We get wrongheaded NOTIONS. That’s his “notion” about us.
Had a qualified competent Black man run as a Reagan conservative I’d have voted for that person.
That didn’t happen though did it?
Instead we have an inexperienced community organizer and avowed socialist and I WILL make fun of him at every turn.
If that be base so be it.
I do not care for socialism nor socialists who want to take mine fro my family and give to those who never earned it.
Just sew a couple white buttons on a dirt brown sock. Perhaps a big purple one for his mouth.
There is now a concensus that borrowing money will get us out of this mess. The time for debate is over...
What happens when we run out of Chinese people to lend us money?
With an attitude like this, President Dinky can be had. Just keep pushing the buttons in random order.
0bama needs to read the Constitution.
If need be, someone must impress to 0bama the authority granted to POTUS and Federal congress, by the States, via the Constitution.
This whole porkulus bill is beyond his authority
Besides hope’n’change, they had to sell zerO as black to mobilize the fraud and leverage the inculcated white liberal guilt.
Donk voting blocs are always at odds with each other over the loot and the spoils. By destroying the country, the producers and all growth, zerO and the donks are assuring that there will not be enough loot to go around. So, of course, the command-and-control becomes more severe, the printing presses are set on high and, in the end, the donk voting blocs are left with $h!t and one hand and hope’n’change in the other. I cannot think of one demographic, outside of insider political and financial types, who will see one iota of benefit from zerO. He has sacrificed most of his own base for the benefit of the mega-donors, many of whom are now incapable of donating much to anyone.
Time for the bunker, zerO. Cyanide or a pistol? Your choice. I think your party is just figuring that out.
Thanks! Good article.
Obama received how many votes? 66,882,230
The population of the U.S. in Nov '08? 305,000,000 (est.)
That actually means that less than 22% of America voted for him. So one could effectively argue that 88% of America voted against him...
I'm considering changing my tag line to "So glad to have the 'Culture of Corruption' gone from D.C. so we can now enjoy all of this 'Hope and Change' that we were promised..."
That’s what ah said. . but, if we on Free Republic start using racial slurs (lawn jockeys and sock monkeys) to attack Obama’s ineptitude, FR will lose its place as “better than DU”. - We can find plenty of other non-racial issues to hold Obama accountable for without easy racial stuff. - Of course, for profit motive, you’re free to do it I’m sure without attaching it to Free Republic as I don’t think the guys at the top on FR would allow the FR name to be attached to the project. (I can’t speak for them, though.) - I don’t care for political correctness either, and I’m sure there would probably be a large market for race centered humor. - I also am aware that DU likes to troll over here and plant destructive seeds; not accusing you or anyone, just saying.
Oops. Sorry 'bout that. Should read:
"...78% of America voted against him..."
Need more coffee...
Watch that finger, Mr President. Don’t be too bossy
I understand what you are saying Twinkie, it’s just so easy to totally jerk this clown around. And no one’s doing it, everyones kissing his rear end.
