Obama: The people at Beck’s rally are filled with anxiety

"I — I do think that it’s important for us to recognize that right now, the country’s going through a very difficult time, as a consequence of years of neglect in a whole range of areas. Our schools not working the way they need to, so we’ve slipped in terms of the number of college graduates, you know?

A financial system that was not, you know, operating in a way that maintained integrity and assured that the people who were investing or who were buying a home or were using a credit card weren’t getting in some way cheated. We had a health care system that was broken and that was bankrupting families and businesses. All those issues are big, tough, difficult issues. And those are just our domestic issues. That’s before we get to policy issues in two wars. And a continuing battle against terrorists who want to do us harm.

So, given all those anxieties — and given the fact that, you know, in none of these situations are you going to be fix things overnight. It’s not surprising that somebody like a Mr. Beck is able to stir up a certain portion of the country. That’s been true throughout our history. What I’m focused on is making sure that the decisions we’re making now are going to be be not good for the nightly news. Not good even necessarily for the next election. But are good for the next generation. And I’m very confident that those decisions are the ones that we’ve made."

Yes, I do remember when he mocked the Bible. He's snarky and full of himself because he knows no one can touch him. But if this guy was on his own and ran into some resistance, he'd probably just say, “don't beat me up..can't I just cry? Or, can't I just eat my waffle? Or, can't I just buy some shrimp?

Creep.

Obama gets some right and misses others. We weren’t filled with anxiety, but we are still clinging to God and . . . I hope the socialists keep that consideration in mind.

Anxious people don’t tend to take the time to secure hotel reservations, hop aboard airplanes, take long car trips, wait and wait to ride on public transit, and spend over three hours gathering amongst large amounts of people in the heat. What I saw as I viewed the rally was not anxiety, but unity. It was beautiful. To have “a Beck” be able to move (quite literally) that many people, should have *BO* somewhat anxious.

“””and given the fact that, you know, in none of these situations are you going to be fix things overnight”””

This is the brilliant orator and writer who won the Nobel and Pulitzers and the Olympics?

Brilliant my butt.

he can’t blame Pres.Bush anymore for anything ‘cause it’s not true and this statement about “years of neglect” is just the euphemism for that,too.

What I want is someone to challenge this clown on his so-called belief of “years of neglect”-this is a patently false statement and it’s NOT TRUE.

This pos will say anything to cover up for his own ignorance
