He. Cannot. Be. Serious. And yet, he is. If this doesn’t qualify as playing up the intellectually cheap, populist, class-warfare rhetoric, then I don’t know what does. He’s not just decrying ‘tax cuts for the wealthy’ (a.k.a., here, the Bush-era tax cuts) as a paltry route to prosperity, he’s throwing in a steak-and-a-martini metaphor to really classy it up!
(snip) “Those of us who have spent time in the real world understand that the problem is not that the American people aren’t productive enough,” Obama said during a fundraiser today, after saying that Romney believes that America “automatically” prospers when the wealthy profit. “[Romney says] his 25 years in the private sector gives him a special understanding of how the economy works, [so] my question is why are you running with the same bad ideas that brought our economy to the brink of disaster?” … The president also said that Republicans, not Democrats, caused the current budget crisis. “I love listening to these guys give us lectures about debt and deficits. I inherited a trillion dollar deficit!” he said. Obama compared Republicans to a person who orders a steak dinner and martini and then, “just as you’re sitting down, they leave, and accuse you of running up the tab.”

He inherited a Trillion dollar deficit and ran it up to 6 Trillion while flying all over on our dime and visiting every golf course on military bases around the country.
This fool is living high on the hog on our money. That is his economic plan.
The debt he inherited occurred as a result of a hundred years of liberalism. But that is history. The question is what are the results of the economy and debt during his 4 years in charge? He will get pummelled on that question and he can’t escape.
Whiner in Chief at it again. ;-)
Obamugabe goes fund raising on the day it is announced the deficit doubles?
Apparently this jacka$$ forgot that Pelaosi was holding court when he was selected. She and Reid ran the circus until she was ousted.
It has been a liberal circus since 2006. Obama, Reid and Pelosi are the trio of destruction.
(snort)
Did you read the part about ‘those of us who have spent time in the real world’????
Are you fr$#king kidding me?
Who the heck drinks martinis with a steak dinner?!
Even if they had, it isn’t YOUR money, you ignorant,affirmative action RaceMarxist.
Neither you or your infestation of incompetent Ivy Leaguers are on the hook for the past generation of insanely irresponsible big government spending.
And Chris Matthews will swoon and not say, "Waaaaait a minute----!"
...at $182,000 an hour AF One....he did 115 fund raisers since April last year....172 times in 2010 alone...
Who in the heck writes this blather?
TOTUS needs a special investigation.
Maybe Michelle can sing “Soft Kitty” to Barack as she tucks him in to bed tonight. Poor little guy!
Obama played golf and all I got was this 17-trillion dollar national debt.
Excellent question. Answer - nobody who lives in the real world, which would include BO.
It has been a liberal circus since 2006. Obama, Reid and Pelosi are the trio of destruction.
Sad to say most voters memories are not that long......they need to be reminded, often.
Prick!
Right,
>>> Obama compared Republicans to a person who orders a steak dinner and martini and then, “just as you’re sitting down, they leave, and accuse you of running up the tab.” <<<
Gotta tailored to their audience, tho. Those guys ‘slurped’ it all up.
Puhleeze - no more metaphors.
Didn’t he learn anything since the “taking the car keys away, driving the car into the ditch” flop?
True...you also inherited gasoline at an average price of $1.87 a gallon, and an unemployment rate of 4.6% in 2007 and 5.8% in 2008. But you don't like talking about that, do you Mr. President?
Also someone once said that when you find yourself in a hole, the best thing to do is to stop digging. You not only have not heeded this advice, you have procured explosives and a steam shovel to expedite the process of getting us deeper in debt.
