Obama Turns Scatology into an Art Form at Florida Atlantic University




The nation’s demagogue-in-chief is once again spewing his anti-capitalistic garbage on what his administration defines as a policy trip, but in reality is a campaign junket. Barack Obama is kicking off his 2012 anti-American tour in Boca Raton, Florida at taxpayer’s expense.

We’ve all heard his nonsense before and will hear it again and again and again until November: government good; businesses bad. And by the way confiscating property isn’t redistribution of wealth. Oh, and government boondoggles are “investments.”

What is really galling is Obama’s assault on the young and ill-informed. Here he is spewing his bile to a bunch of students at Florida Atlantic University:

(CNSNews.com) – President Barack Obama delivered ominous warnings about the Republicans’ budget proposal Tuesday, accusing them of “doubling down” on trickle-down economics:

“Some people who are running for a certain office right now – who shall not be named – they’re doubling down on these old broken-down theories,” Obama told students at Florida Atlantic University in Boca Raton. He was referring to Mitt Romney.

“Instead of moderating their views even slightly, instead of saying, you know what, what we did really didn’t work and we almost had a second Great Depression, and maybe we should try something different, they have doubled down.”



The only one doubling down on failed policies is your administration Mr. President. How much money are you going to flush down the renewable energy toilet? How many solar companies have to go bankrupt before you say that’s enough? The Anointed One continues his harangue:



“They proposed a budget that showers the wealthiest Americans with even more tax cuts, and then pays for these tax cuts by gutting investments in education and medical research and clean energy, in health care,” Obama said.

Obama warned the students in his audience that the Republican tax cuts could cut their average financial aid by more than $1,000.

“Now, thousands of medical research grants for things like Alzheimer’s and cancer and AIDS would be eliminated,” Obama continued. “Tens of thousands of researchers and students and teachers could lose their jobs. Our investments in clean energy that are making us less dependent on imported oil would be cut by nearly a fifth.”


Hey Obama, it’s your policies that are making us dependent on foreign oil. Any informed person would laugh at that nonsensical remark. And how many years have these researchers received taxpayer funded grants? At what point in time can we expect some results? And as far as the cost of tuition, Joe Biden conceded that the high cost of tuition is a direct result of the federal government.




But don’t let facts get in the way of your demagoguery. God knows you’ve turned scatology into an art form.

Obama: Central Planning is the Key to a Utopian Dream



It’s that time of the week when Dear Leader sits his condescending ass down before a camera and lectures the American people about how ungrateful and greedy we are. This week’s theme – as is almost every week – is about class warfare and those who aren’t paying enough to the federal government.

Over the last few months, I’ve been talking about a choice we face as a country. We can either settle for an economy where a few people do really well and everyone else struggles to get by, or we can build an economy where hard work pays off again — where everyone gets a fair shot, everyone does their fair share, and everyone plays by the same rules. That’s up to us.

Today, I want to talk to you about the idea that everyone in this country should do their fair share.

Now, if this were a perfect world, we’d have unlimited resources. No one would ever have to pay any taxes, and we could spend as much as we wanted. But we live in the real world. We don’t have unlimited resources. We have a deficit that needs to be paid down. And we also have to pay for investments that will help our economy grow and keep our country safe: education, research and technology, a strong military, and retirement programs like Medicare and Social Security.


But this asshole sure as hell spends our “limited resources” on boondoggles like unproven alternative energy programs. That’s because Dear Leader considers guaranteed federal loans and grants to his campaign bundlers “investments.” They’re investments all right: his 2012 election war chest.



When Obama talks about everyone paying their “fair share,” he means everyone but his cronies and government henchmen. Do you hear of anyone in the federal government sacrificing for the common good? HELL NO! This president has once again presented a budget that no one in the House of Representatives voted in the affirmative. It was so outlandish, even the Democrats refused to vote yea. And yet, this man sits before us and pontificates on economics! Here is, once again, pushing the Buffet Rule:

If you make more than $1 million a year, you should pay at least the same percentage of your income in taxes as middle class families do. On the other hand, if you make under $250,000 a year — like 98 percent of American families do — your taxes shouldn’t go up. You’re the ones struggling with the rising cost of everything from college tuition to groceries. You’re the ones who deserve a break.

So Obama would have us believe that if the federal government confiscates more assets from the rich and redistributes it – most probably to his minions – the cost of living will go down. What an economic retard! It’s the policies of his administration and the antagonistic attitude that the D.C. apparatchiks have towards the America people that is running this country into the ground.

And to top it off, the commander-in-thief leaves us with this little Marxist ditty:

That’s not right. That’s not who we are. In America, our story has never been about what we can do by ourselves — it’s about what we can do together. It’s about believing in our future and the future of this country. So tell your Members of Congress to do the right thing. Call them up, write them a letter, pay them a visit, and tell them to stop giving tax breaks to people who don’t need them and start investing in the things that will help our economy grow and put people back to work.

That’s how we’ll make this country a little fairer, a little more just, and a whole lot stronger. Thank you

I’ve got news for you Barack, for many of us the American dream is vanishing, and it’s because of people like you. Your utopian machinations will not make this country fairer, more just, or stronger. But it will benefit the central planners and elitist scum like you. And that is not what America is about.
