Correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t sacrifice supposed to be voluntary? When it’s mandated by the government, there’s other names for it.

They media/left really are pushing ‘Main Street’ as a buzz word these days. 2 months ago it was ‘Vetted’ for Palin, now this.

So sickening.

Indentured servitude or slavery. Not that there is much of a distinction between the two.

Are you kidding? He’s spent over 19 months living out of hotels and campaign planes. He’s a living martyr!

““Barack Obama will require you to work....” - Wifey Obama”

She’s sadly mistaken, I’ll reduce my earnings until he’s out if office so he doesn’t get any taxes from me to subsidize his human garbage.!

I’ve got enough to live comfortably for way more than 10 years.

No one’s entitled to food, housing or health care without paying for it!

You could add impressment. I was thinking more in terms of confiscation or stealing, but I understand your point.

"But the sacrifices will be gradual, realistic and necessary. Above all, they will be fair.”

Bullshit.

Dam, obambi isn’t even president yet and he is already channelling Jimmuh “we’z in a malaise” Carter.

Yo, Obama, kiss my hairy white arse and shove your taxes where the sun don’t shine.

Will we have to make sacrifices like:

No universal health care?
No universal early childhood education?
No federal investment in alternative energy, like food for fuel?
No subsidized college for children of illegal aliens?
No subsidies to “affordable housing activists”?
No subsidies to Chicago universities?
No preservation of lighthouses, museums on Woodstocks, no pork to every da#n congressman to fuel his re-election machine?

Once we as the body politic have made those sacrifices, come back and talk to me about the sacrifices you want me to make personally.

I remember how I felt upon learning that $15,500 per year was the “Rich That Gained Unfairly In The 80’S!” in 1993...

I have NEVER voted for another Democrat since...

...Barack Obama closed his 30-minute speech at the University of Nevada, Reno today by telling several thousand people that sacrifice will be required of all Americans

Oh great. Someone who wants us to make sacrifices to the gov't. First he was the Messiah, now he wants to be emperor.

Wait a second. Some of the lighthouses actually fulfill a needed function. Plus, they are pretty to look at and do keep lighthouse keepers employed.

YES! PLEASE, Obama, please keep saying this as much as possible! You should make special emphasis of this point at the next debate.

“My fellow Americans, we all need to sacrifice to weather this crisis. And by ‘Sacrifice’ I mean massive, confiscatory tax increases. Bend over and grab your ankles, cause this is gonna hurt!”

"I was thinking more in terms of confiscation or stealing, but I understand your point."

They fall into the same category. The definition is only a fine point.

I would like to hear about his tough times, lol.

But what bugs the heck out of me is...nobody rebuts him!! His statements just lie (no pun intended) there and become fact.

Are there any Democrat presidential candidates who aren't congenital liars.

This is a typo, isn't it? You really meant "genital liars", didn't you?
