Obama: ‘This Is Not Just Another Election, This Is A Make or Break Moment for The Middle Class’

RICHMOND, VA — President Obama officially kicked off his reelection campaign today with a pair of rallies in two key battleground states–Ohio and Virginia.

The theme for both events is “Ready To Go.”

President Obama started off the afternoon at Ohio State University where he said his Republican opponent, Mitt Romney, would allow conservatives with “bad ideas” like tax cuts for the rich and cuts for social programs to control the economy.

“Ohio, I tell you what, we cannot give him that chance… This is not just another election, this is a make or break moment for the middle class,” President Obama said.

President Obama was introduced by his wife, Michelle, who implicitly emphasized the difference between President Obama’s relatively modest background and Mr. Romney’s wealth.

It’s laughable when the Demonrats talk about “the middle class.” They’ve been leaving the Rats for decades and for obvious reasons.

Obama’s relatively modest background?

Can we do fact check and set the record straight?

Obama was raised in an upper class family. After his mother dumped him with grandma, he went to the most exclusive boarding school in Hawaii. His grandma was a bank vice-president who earned a good living.

He went to two Ivy League universities. He is part of the cultural/social/liberal political elite.

To listen to them, you would swear that Obama struggled to escapte the ghetto and do something with his life. The fact is, he has been upper class by any measure during his life. Can we distribute the facts so that these lies are countered???????

Actually, he's right.

Ubama II will end the middle class, by design and intent.

Yep, that’s why we are NOT voting for BHO. Correct?

Obama is absolutely right. If he is re-elected, the leftists will continue to impoverish the middle class here, as they do in every country where they are in power.

“Ready To Go.”

“Away!”

“And SOON!”

When they say “middle class”, they mean people with minimum wage jobs on food stamps or college students living on their loans or single moms living on child support payments from the baby daddies.

Dems consider people who can live on their own paychecks as the enemy of their progressive dream.

Always remember: when Obama says ‘middle class’ or ‘working families’ he means ‘union members’.

“Officially”. What a joke - UNofficially, he’s been campaigning for the last several years. He’s already been to over 170 fundraisers!

He IS right about this election being make or break. But for much more than “the middle class” - for our country’s very survival, which is only possible if we GET BHO OUT.

Buckwheat will lose both Virginia and Ohio.

By the time November comes close, obuma will be losing New York and half the Northeast.

It sure is. We senior middle class citizens have seen what you and yours have done.

Your little high school droolers will rue the day they even looked at you.
They will be the hardest it in the future and if they can’t see that now, then they deserve what they get.

‘This Is Not Just Another Election, This Is A Make or Break Moment for The Middle Class’

That’s exactly right. If the middle class votes 0, it’s toast!
