Obama: Bitter Clingers Don't Pay Attention to Economy

In a press conference, Barack Obama was confronted with a question.  A reporter cited a poll in which 69% of Americans stated that the debt ceiling shouldn’t be raised.  Here is the response from the man of the “people”:

“Let me distinguish between professional politicians and the public at large. You know, the public is not paying close attention to the ins and outs of how a Treasury auction goes. They shouldn’t. They’re worrying about their family, they’re worrying about their jobs. They’re worrying about their neighborhood. They have got a lot of other things on their plate. We’re paid to worry about it.”

So don’t you bitter clingers fear nutin about that economy thang.  Our betters know what thar doin.  Just keep polishing your guns, clutch your Bibles and dance with yo snakes.

Rep. Anthony Weiner is a Clueless Class Warrior

Rep. Anthony Weiner is the epitome of a clueless class warrior. Notice in the above debate that it is he and the federal government that is entitled to the fruits of others labor. Patronage is what motivates politicians, and without taxpayer money their power is diminished. It is the equivalent of throwing water on the Wicked Witch of the West; they fade away.

Even the admission by NPR executives that they would be better off without federally funded dollars isn’t enough for the Weener.  No, he has to elevate his rhetoric to preposterous proportions:

We are witnessing the desperations of a grasping elitist.  The Weener is having problems coping with his impending relegation as an inconsequential incompetent.

Rep. James Clyburn: Elitist Extraordinaire

Rep. James Clyburn (D) of South Carolina, and Elitist Extraordinaire, is milking this shooting tragedy in Arizona for every drop he can get. This man is so shameless that he now wants special privileges at airports, as reported by The Hill:

A top House Democrat said the attack on Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-Ariz.) should change how members of Congress are screened at airports.


“I really believe that that is the place where we feel the most ill at ease, is going through airports,” Rep. James Clyburn (D-S.C.), who serves as assistant minority leader in the House, said on "Fox News Sunday."


Clyburn called for the Transportation Security Administration, which administers airport security checkpoints, to interact “a little better” with the Capitol Hill Police.


“We’ve had some incidents where TSA authorities think that congress people should be treated like everybody else,” he said. “Well, the fact of the matter is, we are held to a higher standard in so many other areas, and I think we need to take a hard look at exactly how the TSA interact with members of Congress.

You’re held at higher standards? If that were so, then why is Charlie Rangel still in office and not spending time in a federal prison? Why is he not sharing a cell with Tom DeLay?

I’ll tell you where you’re ill at ease: it is at Town Hall meetings. I guess this tragedy is just another excuse to not engage your constituents in a thoughtful forum; and that was well before the congresswoman from Arizona was shot.

I wouldn’t be surprised to see Rep. James Clyburn drape himself in the purple, and demand his constituents address him as “Your Excellency”.
