Attending a DNC fundraiser at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel in New York City Tuesday evening, President Obama criticized the “collective amnesia” of the nation about the economic circumstances it faced a year ago, pitched a variety of policy proposals and called for Republicans to support his health care reform push, pointedly saying: “What I don’t have a lot of sympathy for are folks who are just sitting on the sidelines and rooting for failure.”
“I don’t mind cleaning up the mess that some other folks made, that’s what I signed up to do, but while I’m mopping the floor, I don’t want someone standing there, saying you’re not mopping fast enough or you’re not mopping the right way,” Obama said, according to the pool report. “Grab a mop. Help clean up.”
Obama said the nation is “at a crossroads” in our history. “Part of what was remarkable about the campaign that we ran was that it wasn’t easy that’s how we knew it was worth it. We knew we were fighting against the status quo and against inertia,” he said.

Over a trillion in pork that barely created any jobs is Obama’s idea of cleaning up the mess he inherited?

Yeah, me too.
And what’s with his repeated references to mopping up?
All’s I can think of is that union started by janitors, whatever it’s called.

Hey Barack!
We're rooting for survival of America, with the U.S. Constitution in tact!
The consensus is that requires your policies TO FAIL!

"What I don’t have a lot of sympathy for are folks who are just sitting on the sidelines and rooting for failure.” I guess someone should ask Obama just EXACTLY how he would define success.

He wasn’t tired when Harry Reid said “The War is Lost”. He was probably praying every morning for George Bush to fail. The usual left-wing wimps can dish it but can’t take it.

“I don’t mind cleaning up the mess that some other folks made, that’s what I signed up to do, He pretty much means that he's cleaning up from everyone since George Washington.
