Obama Casts Republicans as Slurpee Sippers
CBS News ^ | October 08, 2010 | Mark Knoller

Posted on 10/09/2010 1:39:01 PM PDT by RobinMasters

To hear President Obama tell it, Slurpees are the beverage of choice of obstructionist Republicans.

In each of 20 political speeches over the last two months, Mr. Obama has included a riff in which he portrays GOP leaders as sipping Slurpees while hard-working Democrats struggle to pull the economy out of a ditch.

"We're down there. It's hot. We were sweating. Bugs everywhere. We're down there pushing, pushing, pushing on the car. Every once in a while we'd look up and see the Republicans standing there. They're just standing there fanning themselves -- sipping on a Slurpee." The line never fails to get a laugh, as it did Thursday afternoon at a Democratic rally at Bowie State University in Maryland. His audience laughs and Mr. Obama does too. He clearly gets a kick out of the image of GOP leaders sipping a slushy, ice-cold Slurpee while Democrats like himself nearly kill themselves to pull the economy out of the ditch of the GOP's making.

Though he doesn't mention any Slurpee-sipping Republicans by name, his rhetoric suggests an image of Senate and House Minority Leaders Mitch McConnell and John Boehner, dressed casually (perhaps in shorts and sneakers) with a couple of Big Gulp cups in their hands, sipping on 7-Eleven's sweet and glacial libation. You can almost see the extra-long flex-straw through which the leaders are sucking in their liquid refreshment.

Middle, and working class America is still trying to figure out where rich elites buy “arugula”, and now they are having to puzzle out, what is insulting about Slurpees.

This lying rhetoric does not mention that the Republicans have been kicked to the curb by the Zer0 Regime. He will not talk to them and the Democrats will not talk to them. The Republicans are treated as furniture they must move out of the way to push through their socialist agenda.

So when Zer0 says, "Every once in a while we'd look up and see the Republicans standing there. They're just standing there fanning themselves -- sipping on a Slurpee," we have to yell "LIAR!"

I think the media is just wrong to have cropped Larry Sinclair out of this picture.

Obama Express bus is a good idea, and it just ran out of oil and its being pushed by other Democrats, which will be wearing badges like NYT, CBS, MSNBC, pushing the OBama Express bus over the cliff, while a lonely gop standing at the edge of the cliff with a stop sign. Would make a nice comic strip

What would happen if a Republican portrayed Democrats as "Slurpee sippers?"

Anyone?

Buehler?

Obama seems to have a “Suck” complex. He thought he could govern with enough commie help. He can’t. He is a fool.

I would sip on a Slurpee if I saw a stupid-ass “pushing pushing pushing” on a car too.

Why not call a tow truck?

He’s been ramping up toward inciting a violent reaction. He would love an excuse to call off Nov elections indefinitely.

Actually a better anology would be the republicans
sipping slurpees while Obama and his minions try to
push the vehicle out of the ditch, then when they finish
drinking, they get in the car, lock the hubs and put it
into four wheel drive and power out of the muck made
by the democrats useless efforts.

Everyone lined up is a working-class guy buying coffee and Ding-Dongs.

You must remember daahling, only the common people sip slurpees and eat Ding-Dongs.

LOL!

Honestly, I think your right. There is some serious cognitive dissonance going on, because Zero has absolutely NO idea how deep he puts his foot in it sometimes. Guess he just doesn't get the fact that every time he tries to insult the GOP, he insults over half HIS voter base too.

He is definitely NOT the brightest crayon in the box!
