Obama's Rehabilitation Tour, or 'I Promise I'm a Leftist'
Townhall.com ^ | September 27, 2011 | David Limbaugh

Posted on 09/27/2011 4:58:13 AM PDT by Kaslin

Poor President Obama. His leftist backers have momentarily fallen out of love with him for not destroying the country fast enough. Obama must ask himself, "What would Hugo Chavez do?"

Obama decided to embark on a personal rehabilitation tour. He first stopped by the annual awards dinner of the Congressional Black Caucus and told blacks to "stop complainin'. Stop grumblin'. Stop cryin'." Don't they realize that it's the Republicans' fault that black unemployment is nearly double the national average, at 16.7 percent? "So many people in (Washington) are fighting us every step of the way."

Instead of berating them, Obama ought to count his lucky stars that he's not taking more grief. Rep. Emanuel Cleaver said that if Bill Clinton were in the White House and didn't address the problem of black unemployment, blacks "probably would be marching on the White House."

Obama's malcontent leftist friends on the Leftist Coast agree that he has not been liberal enough. So to regain their favor, he jetted out West in that covered wagon known as Air Force One and pleaded with them to understand the predicament he is in with nasty Republicans opposing him every step of the way. He is, he assured them, as radical as they are.

In Seattle, representing the downtrodden, Obama told the 65 guests who were paying a paltry $35,800 per couple, "From the moment I took office, what we've seen is a constant ideological push-back against any kind of sensible reforms that would make our economy work better and give people more opportunity."

The bipartisan Obama told his fellow warriors for the poor that the Republican alternative "is an approach to government that will fundamentally cripple America in meeting the challenges of the 21st century."

That's the ticket. Unless we agree to Obama's spending $450 billion more in borrowed money on the grounds that increasing the national debt will decrease the national debt, we will be crippling America. If we demand fiscal responsibility, we simply cannot be trusted to meet the challenges of the 21st century.

Obama's birdbrained policies are so exasperatingly ridiculous he's lucky no one is invoking the 25th Amendment to challenge his mental capacity to serve.

Though it would never happen, it's time for Obama to go further and really tell the whole truth. Even if he believes, against all evidence and reason, that the government can improve the economy by sucking all remaining oxygen out of the private sector, that's not the only reason he is pushing for another reckless stimulus package.

Obama doesn't care about infrastructure or improving the disastrous unemployment numbers he's fueling. These are not what float his Marxist boat. Stimulus Jr. isn't about creating more economic demand, which it wouldn't do anyway. Like Stimulus Sr., it's about pressing forward with his nefarious scheme to restructure America in his image.

It would be bad enough if these boondoggles were just grab bags of political payoffs, money laundering, redistribution and colossal waste. But they're also designed to create more government programs that will self-perpetuate.

Through Stimulus Jr., Obama would create a massive new bureaucracy to administer the nightmare -- a bureaucracy that would not wither away when the program is completed, any more than Marx's government would wither away after the "dictatorship of the proletariat."

Why is it so hard for some people to grasp that neither government tax and regulatory roadblocks against economic growth nor massive wealth redistribution programs improve the plight of lower- and middle-income groups? When will a greater percentage of blacks realize that liberal prescriptions harm rather than improve their economic conditions? When will they realize they are being exploited and injured by the very leaders who say they are the only ones who care about them?

These demagogues had better hope minorities and lower- and middle-income groups never systematically study the damning results of their policies. Obama scapegoats Republican obstruction for the failure of his policies, but no matter how hard he dissembles, he had his way the first two years of his term.

Nevertheless, he persists. On the next stop on his propaganda tour, Obama told his audience that the 2012 election will be even more important than the one in 2008. It will be "a contest of values."

Finally, there's something we can all agree on. It will indeed be a contest of values. Unfortunately for Obama, recent polls show that essentially half the American people fear his beloved federal government.

So let's get ready to rumble.

Sigh...I wish that were all he was after. No, David...he’s not here to build a self-perpetuating government. His agenda is to plunder and destroy the nation, in preparation for turning us over to our enemies.

I had a laugh last night at Maddow’s (MSNBC) expense. She did this story as did the others showing how Obama rallied the CBC against those ‘care only about the rich’ Republicans who are against jobs for the middle class,Yes finally progressives have the fighting Obama they always wanted who is standing up to those no good Republicans and she started then lemented that the AP/MSM reported the whole story as Obama telling the CBC (ie blacks in their view) to ‘stop whining’ ruining the whole theme that she wanted. I was LMAO while she complained about it, much like when she complains about voter ID laws.

On a similar note Rev ’Drinkin Obama’s Koolaid’ Sharpton took Maxine Waters to task for her calling Obama out on the same, she asked Obama on camera: “What do you mean whining?”, Say what you want about socialist Maxine, she's not drinking the Obama Koolaid like Al is, she has unemployed voters in her district that Obama is doing little for.

I don’t think a lot of his leftist former supporters are going to buy it.

When he had the House and 60 votes in the Senate he could have made all of their socialist dreams come true (card check, living wage, paid family leave, mandatory paid sick and vacation days, free college, single payer, etc.) and he did none of that. Why are they going to believe him now when even under the best of circumstances he is going to continue to lose power?

Say what you want about socialist Maxine, she's not drinking the Obama Koolaid...

Dems divide themselves up among various victim groups... (well, except Union members and Panthers - they're the 'bully' groups).

Maxine's emotional dem 'victim group' is women. She identifies with Hillary, black women etc. I doubt she has much sympathy for black men - or any men for that matter.

” Say what you want about socialist Maxine, she’s not drinking the Obama Koolaid like Al is, she has unemployed voters in her district that Obama is doing little for. “

IMO, Maxine Waters is a Marxist, white-hating psychopath.

“..IMO, Maxine Waters is a Marxist, white-hating psychopath...”

Even taking out the “White-hating” - which she most definitely IS - leaving the Psychopath part in place, next to the word “Legislator”, is a dangerous thing.

She needs to be removed. The GOP should stand up and turn their backs on her every time she walks into the room.

Me, personally, were I there in the House...I’d just give her the middle finger every time I saw the stupid b*tch... just to get a rise of her...and I’d make sure there was a camera and a microphone turned on the minute she responded (but not before)...

Then I’d smile sweetly, and act all hurt and shocked...

Because I’m sensitive like that...kinda...emotional-like, you know?

Oh-Oh, given Christie said no again I was hoping Waters would jump into the primary as she just gave it to Obama. She is too liberal??

She’s another moronic, frigging race-pimpette. Could probably say the same for most of the CBC.

Well...when we allow the bar to be lowered to the lowest common denominator, this is what we get...

“...Gov. Bev Perdue, a Democrat, said, according to a report by the Raleigh News & Observer. “You want people who don’t worry about the next election.”...”

Oh, don’t worry Governor Bev...you DEFINITELY won’t have to worry about the next election, because you’ll be looking for a new job shortly after it...

Geez...where do these fascist idiots keep coming from?

The Kenyan is slowly learning how to be an American Citizen. Hells bells. He now stands at attention and even gives a hand salute, and holds his right hand upon his chest, during passing in review ceremonies, and presentation of the flag etc.. He’s moving up the ladder...he may eventually even be caught saying the pledge of allegiance to the flag during a given ceremony. He is sending all kinds of bad signals to his socialist masters, and fellow travelers.

As much as it pains me to say so, supremely STUPID people keep voting them into public office.

She's an embarrassment as well as another incapable just as the one she fawns over (Obama).
