he wants wage equality? he wants people to have their own homes? does that mean people who do not work and are capable will not continue to get medicaid? does it mean people who are here illegally will have to pay taxes too along with them getting free medical etc? He wants equality but his definition and mine are not the same. I want equality too....will he give me $1.4 million to go on vacation this year?
he sounds like he only wants the people he wants around him (who say yes sir, whatever you say sir all the time) in this country. i have read about another person who only wanted certain people around him like that and the rest were in line for extermination.......Last edited by boopster; 07-24-2013 at 03:35 PM.

Take it easy, all. Being the President is distracting.

Obama Blames Five Years of a Bad Economy on "Phony Scandals" and "Distractions"
Katie Pavlich | Jul 24, 2013
President Obama did his best to shift his administration's focus to the economy today during a speech at Illinois' Knox College by blaming the anemic economy on Republicans and "phony scandals."
As predicted, Obama gave America the same speech he's been giving for five years, saying the country needs more infrastructure spending due to crumbling roads and bridges, that we must fight poverty, that CEOs are making too much money while the poor suffer etc. He even went so far as to tout "saving the auto industry" one week after Detroit filed for bankruptcy.
"Today, five years after the start of that Great Recession, America has fought its way back. Together, we saved the auto industry, took on a broken health care system, and invested in new American technologies to reverse our addiction to foreign oil and double wind and solar power," Obama said. "Together, we put in place tough new rules on big banks, and protections that cracked down on the worst practices of mortgage lenders and credit card companies. We changed a tax code too skewed in favor of the wealthiest at the expense of working families, locking in tax cuts for 98% of Americans, and asking those at the top to pay a little more."
While Obama claims America is "back," 50 million people are on food stamps and 23 million people are unemployed. The healthcare system is starting to collapse as doctors leave their practices and gas is on average $3.68 per gallon. It isn't just the rich Obama has asked to "pay a little more." In January, he raised taxes on everyone. And finally, big banks are getting bigger.
After claiming the country was on the right track economically, Obama proceeded to blame Republicans for "distractions" and "phony" scandals coming out of Washington.
"With an endless parade of distractions, political posturing and phony scandals, Washington has taken its eye off the ball. And I am here to say this needs to stop. Short-term thinking and stale debates are not what this moment requires. Our focus must be on the basic economic issues that the matter most to you – the people we represent," Obama said.
Funny, I'm not sure the IRS targeting American citizens (with the help of one of Obama's political appointees) for political purposes or four dead Americans killed in Benghazi count as "phony" but hey, "what difference, at this point, does it make?" And speaking of distractions, apparently taking the time to personally call pro-abortion Wendy Davis, Sandra Fluke and the first openly gay NBA player Jason Collins while opining on local crime cases, playing golf and going on numerous vacations doesn't count when it comes to deflecting attention away from anything but the disastrous and stagnant economy.
I'll leave you with this from liberal Washigton Post blogger Ezra Klein:
Ezra Klein ✔ @ezraklein
That was a lot of hype for very little policy http://wapo.st/17DHDU3

Don't look to this speech for the details of the policy. Look to it for the signal of the

comments
Obama is also "not what this moment requires." Apparently we have 2 more years of suffering this man's mess and then, hopefully, we can get down to undoing his wasted presidency. In all my years I've never seen a more hardheaded pursuit of the wrong answers to America's problems. His foreign policy has been an explosive failure that guarantees threats to America for the foreseeable future. His domestic policy has favored the few and harmed the masses. Thank you uninformed voters for putting a man like you into a position of power. You've skrewed us all.
..
OF COURSE!!! THE SAME OLD after five years of empty pockets, debt rising, a divide nation from the major flip flop of all presidents along with broken promises especially in that botched costly mess effecting everyones purse of course except washington!! BUT IT AINT ME BABE, NO, NO ,NO, IT AINT BABE!!!!! Or better yet WHO ME??? COULDN'T BE!!! NOW DID WE EXPECT ANYTHING after all we have been hearing this political garbage for FIVE YRS NOW!!!
...
Phony scandals and distractions? You mean like the Zimmerman case?
..
There is no wizard in OZ. Only the most foolish of liberals still believe this buffoon.
Notice who the messiah targets.....nineteen yr old skulls full of mush who have spent years in the public school reeducation camps..
..
how about the scandal of $1.80 a gallon gas when you took office ? Now it is just about $4.00---some scandal. How about the 23+ million Americans out of work ? This has got to be phony.. How about the 4 dead loyal Americans in Benghazi ? What a distraction..
..
One hour and six minutes of marxist bs where he said absolutely NOTHING pro-American or uplifting.
Well, at least he's not blaming Bush anymore....
..
The day ain't over yet..... :
..
Can anyone name a federal agency that does not have a recent scandal? Secret Service, GSA, EPA, DoJ, IRS, DoS, DoD, ATF, FBI, Fed Marshals, HS, HHS, DHS, NSA... ?
..
Here is a synopsis of Obama's speech on Osama bin Laden:
"Tonight, I can report . . . And so shortly after taking office, I directed Leon Panetta . . . I was briefed on a possible lead to bin Laden . . . I met repeatedly with my national security team . . . I determined that we had enough intelligence to take action. . . . Today, at my direction . . . I've made clear . . . Over the years, I've repeatedly made clear . . . Tonight, I called President Zardari . . . and my team has also spoken. . .These efforts weigh on me every time I, as Commander-in-Chief . . . Finally, let me say to the families . .. I know that it has, at times, frayed. . . .."
President Bush's Speech Upon the Capture of Saddam Hussein
"Good afternoon. Yesterday, December the 13th, at around 8:30 p.m. Baghdad time, United States military forces captured Saddam Hussein alive.
He was found near a farmhouse outside the city of Tikrit, in a swift raid conducted without casualties. And now the former dictator of Iraq will face the justice he denied to millions. The capture of this man was crucial to the rise of a free Iraq.
It marks the end of the road for him, and for all who bullied and killed in his name. For the Baathist holdouts largely responsible for the current violence, there will be no return to the corrupt power and privilege they once held.
The operation was carried out with skill and precision by a brave fighting force.
Our servicemen and women and our coalition allies have faced many dangers in the hunt for members of the fallen regime, and in their effort to bring hope and freedom to the Iraqi people.

They probably figured that since wasn't saying anything of importance, then an interruption would not interfere with O's rhetorical empty speech......and personally I think the baby is cuter. I do love the idea that George upstaged O.......

ANOTHER RECORD! Obama Creates Two New Food Stamp Recipients for Every Job Created
Barack Obama has created two new food stamp recipients for every job created....
CNS News
White House Press Secretary Jay Carney said yesterday that the Obama administration has pulled the nation from the depths of the “Great Recession” with the creation of 7.2 million private sector jobs.
“And what is absolutely true is that we have come a long way since the depths of the Great Recession. We’ve created over 7.2 million private sector jobs,” Carney told reporters at a press briefing.
Here’s what Mr. Carney didn’t say:
Since February of 2009, the first full month of Obama’s presidency, 9.5 million Americans have dropped out of the labor force. Nearly 90 million Americans are not working today!
That means that 1.3 Americans have dropped out of the labor force for every one job the administration claims to have created.
There are 15 million more Americans on food stamps today than when Obama assumed office.
At the end of January 2009, 32,204,859 Americans received aid from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. As of April 2013, there were 47,548,694 Americans on food stamps.
That means that more than two Americans have been added to the food stamp rolls for every one job the administration says it has created.

Obama repeats Carney’s ‘phony scandals’ line in economy speech
The dead SEAL Team VI Extortion 17 families don't feel fake grief. The families of those who died in Benghazi don't have fake pain of not knowing why their loved ones weren't rescued. Those who endured the loss of their sons or brothers in Border Patrol incidents because of the actions of Holder and Obama don't have fake empty spaces at the family table for holidays.
Those who had audits at the hands of the IRS for going against the (p)resident's agenda didn't have to file "fake" papers, or pay "fake" money, and those Tea Party and other patriot groups didn't have to fill out with fake ink fake forms from the IRS. Now. Who is FAKE? What is FAKE? ~jg
President Barack Obama said Wednesday that Republicans are trying to distract America from its economic problems by pushing “phony scandals,” echoing a line repeatedly used this week by White House press secretary Jay Carney.
“With an endless parade of distractions, political posturing and phony scandals, Washington has taken its eye off the ball,” Obama said, according to prepared remarks released by the White House prior to his economic speech Wednesday at Knox College in Illinois. ”And I am here to say this needs to stop. Short-term thinking and stale debates are not what this moment requires.”
Obama’s statement echoes a line repeatedly used by Carney to describe the IRS targeting scandal and other Obama administration headaches, including the National Security Agency surveillance and the Benghazi terrorist attack.
