President Obama on Wednesday raised money for House and Senate candidates at the home of Walt Disney Studios chairman Alan Horn and his wife Cindy, in an effort to boost Hollywood contributions in advance of what looks to be a difficult midterm election season for Democrats.
Among the 90 or so in attendance were Barbra Streisand, Jeffrey Katzenberg, Tom Rothman and James Brolin, according to a pool report. Guests had dinner under a tent in the Horns’ backyard.
Acknowledging that despite a list of accomplishments that there is still a “disquiet around the country” as well as “an anxiety, and a sense a frustration,” Obama said that “the challenges out there remain daunting and we have a Washington that’s not working.”
Obama warned of “a self-fulfilling prophesy” during a midterm election year where “people who have the most at stake in a government that works opt out of the system; those who don’t believe government can do anything are empowered; gridlock reigns, and we got this downward spiral of even more cynicism and more dysfunction. And we have to break out of that cycle and that’s what this election all about,” Obama said, in remarks that lasted about 15 minutes.
He added that his travels to other countries have led him not to “buy this notion purported here that that somehow America is on a downward trajectory. By every indicator we are better positioned than any country on earth to succeed in this knowledge economy in the 21st century. But what is absolutely true is that if we don’t make good choices we could decline, and we’re not going to make good choices unless we break out of this cycle in which dysfunction breeds cynicism, and we have to break out of it. And that happens during midterms. That does not happen during presidential elections.”
I believe that the word that he was looking for was “malaise”...
Ironic words considering Obama’s purpose at this particular venue and its hosts...
Said the Dysfunction-In-Chief!
Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
There I reported 0dumbasses remarks.
At least the Democrats realize something is VERY wrong. There is no way on earth that all of this is going to end well. The general populace is going to end up being slaves to the Federal Agencies and little or nothing can be done about it.
He calls that disfunction?
IOW, do as you are told.
Elections are increasingly mere formalities that condone uniparty tyranny.
President Obama at Hollywood Fundraiser: “Politics Needs to Break Out of Cycle of ‘Dysfunction’”
“He then went on to a 30 minute dissertation about how much the Republicans SUCK, and the crowd applauded adoringly.”
— I added the part the article left out.
He was referring to Tea Party politics not Democrat politics. You have to get inside the liar’s heads to understand how they think and can tell bald faced lies without any sense of shame or guilt.
Darn straight! It will begin this year and certainly in 2016 when we stop the destruction of the country by the incompentent left.
Odumbo must have felt at home there, ears and all.

Were any boys raped at the fundraiser?
Pray America wakes up
Oh, I know exactly what he meant and how they think. It’s still ironic that he’s talking about dysfunction while collecting big checks from its wealthy liberal enablers.
The king's court.
When I say some things like that they’re not really directed at the FReeper themselves; I’m just expressing my opinion. I know most FReepers are aware of their mindset and shenanigans. That’s the reason we’re on here...: )
Look in the mirror, Butthead.
When jugears is perp walked along with his co-conspirator coomie buddies maybe we can begin to function again.
Stuff it, Barry.
Where we all agree with Obastard is there is a place for government.
Where we disagree with Obastard is on the size and scope of that government. He wants to use it to control us according to HIS whims and limit our liberty, we want it to control HIM to enhance our libery.
