Millions of Americans have lost their jobs and record numbers of families are losing their homes to foreclosure, but have no fear, Barack Obama just told us how to make it through these trying times.
At a town hall meeting in Nashua, New Hampshire, Obama gave the American people a lecture on weathering the financial storm: "When times are tough, you tighten your belts. You don't go buying a boat when you can barely pay your mortgage. You don't blow a bunch of cash on Vegas when you're trying to save for college."
Excuse us? Does Obama really believe families suffering hardship and misfortune are buying boats and taking extravagant vacations? How dare the president lecture the American people, who are struggling just to make ends meet, when Obama himself fails to practice what he preaches? And as he chastises with one hand, he proposes even more economic hardship and misery with the other.
Obama’s reckless campaign of tax, borrow and spend is driving this nation over a financial cliff. According to his own administration’s latest estimates, the federal deficit for this current fiscal year alone is going to be a whopping 1.6 trillion dollars. Broken down by population, that's approximately 5,300 additional dollars of debt for every man, woman and child in the United States... and that's just for this year.
And to make matters worse, Obama’s proposed 2011 budget, released this week, would triple the national debt over the next 10 years. As Congressman Paul Ryan (R-WI), Ranking Member of the House Budget Committee put it: " Not only is this budget worse than the last one, but it triples our debt within ten years, features gushers of tax increases, and relies on some partisan commission........

Instead they will tell us all how profound Barry Hussein is for uttering such words of wisdom!
Wow. I’m all for criticizing Obama for that speech, but it went right over this guy’s head. Obama wasn’t saying that he thought we were buying boats and blowing our money in Vegas, he was trying to sound like he understood why we were mad at the government. Of course, at the same time he was saying this, he was proposing a budget that was the equivalent of buy a yacht and blowing your money in Monaco.
It is becoming obvious that Obama is not even legally qualified to be the President. I am more qualified than he is. As a Merchant Marine Officer I have to hold Three FBI security clearances and offer written proof of past experience and school qualifications. I have to undergo drug tests and complete physical exams every five years. Obama on the other hand has shrouded his past in a cover up. He is spending millions of dollars to keep his past secret. Ridiculous.
Neither has any real experience nor any shame in giving advice without it.
Obama may be our first affirmative action president but reality just doesn't give a d@mn about his ethnicity.
IMO, this will not end well.
Jimmy Carter was trounced by the American people after he delivered his “malaise” speech - which basically blamed the people for the bad economy.
Get out the brooms for a clean sweep.
The first you can't read without kicking things around in anger.
But isn't it ironic that we have a present-a-dent who lectures people about working hard and saving money when he himself has never had to do those things? What did he blow on that Hawaiian vacation he just took, something like four grand a night for ten or 12 days? A lot of the people he's lecturing don't make that much in a year. At least Carter had a business and grubbed around in the dirt for a living. Somehow, I can't picture The Chosen One doing that.
“When times are tough, you tighten your belts. You don’t go buying a boat when you can barely pay your mortgage. You don’t blow a bunch of cash on Vegas when you’re trying to save for college.”
Doesn’t apply to you and the govt, right obamscum?
nobam a...you can’t lecture me, you loser-of-a-President. shut up!
That is why we are in trouble. Enough Americans took the easy credit that community organizer Obama insisted be made available to them. They then bought stuff they didn't know the value of and couldn't really afford.

FUBO
doesn’t he have a big party in the White House something like every three days?
Obama is such an elitist Marxist muslim treasonous @sshole. I can’t wait to see him perp-walked out of our White House.
