Obama Tells Economic Critics to 'Get Out of the Way'
Fox News ^ | 8/7/09 | Staff

Posted on 08/07/2009 4:17:19 PM PDT by Niteflyr

A fired up President Obama said Thursday that he wants his critics to just "get out of the way" so his administration can clean up the economic "mess" that Republicans left for him.

Obama spoke Thursday night at a rally in Virginia for state Sen. Creigh Deeds, the Democratic candidate for governor.

He used the bulk of his pep talk to dress down critics who say his economic stimulus is not working and who complain about his administration's spending. Obama noted that he was handed a deficit topping $1 trillion when he walked into office, and urged the "naysayers" to step aside.

"We've got some work to do. I don't mind, by the way, being responsible. I expect to be held responsible for these issues because I'm the president," Obama said. "But I don't want the folks that created the mess -- I don't want the folks who created the mess to do a lot of talking. I want them just to get out of the way so we can clean up the mess.

"I don't mind cleaning up after them, but don't do a lot of talking," Obama said.

Sure, I’ll get out of the way as soon as you stop taking my tax dollars and leave me alone.

> He is intentionally pissing conservatives off. Why?

Because he really thinks he can get away with it.

He just might, too.

It’s a calculated risk, but one that he sees as close enough to go for it.

You honestly don’t know? He is begging for a civil war dontcha know? He is pushing every button he knows how to push...it’s the Chicago Marxist way.

This guy is nothing but a 2-bit 60s radical thug.

Excellent response!

I’m afraid he’s losing it. If he goes off the deep end, there’s no telling what he’ll do. The responsibility is squarely on the MSM that we have a president that was never vetted for the qualifications for his job, including mental stability.

He wants to be the martyr. If he were who he thinks he is he would resurrect Timothy McVey to do Oklahoma all over again.

On that note....

Be nice and be strong and we will defeat this. Be either mean or weak and we lose. If our armed servicemen have the character to win in Iraq, certainly we have the character to win at home.

Oh, Hussein. You’re in the majority, bro. Your party has all the marbles. You even have your court jester Al Franken sitting in another fraud-begotten Senate seat.

And yet, you keep attacking Republicans.

Such a child.

Dear uhbama......the day you shut US up will be the day America is in full revolution. And yeah...you will ALSO need to claim responsibility for this revolution since you cannot find your blue lipped, big eared way to a microphone to CALL OFF YOUR UNION THUGS THAT YOU, YOU DIRTBAG, called into ACTION to SMASH DISSENT regarding your health care scam.

You LIAR.

"...I'm the president...

Didja ever notice Hussein is going to this line more and more? Kinda a bit of a lame attack, isn't it? I mean, we all know he occupies the Oval Office. So what? Does that mean we're supposed to cower??

What a maroon.

Blaming our economic mess totaly on the last administration is old crap. 0 and his socialist thugs and criminals are now in charge and they can take the fall for this multi trillion dollar mess they have made all by themselves. Citizens are waking up to the fact that they have been scammed.
