With 10% unemployment, telling people you feel their pain — in between vacations and rounds of golf — kinda sorta misses the mark. |

He won't rest until the job situation gets better ... but he will golf, hold parties, go on vacation, go to fundraisers...
Barrak Obama: “I won’t rest until everyone who wants
me out of a job is satisfied by my incompetence.”
Great! Now I gotta clean the sarcasm off my keyboard.
More of that “I will not rest, etc” lingo.
Does he ever sit at his desk and think? Like ElRushbo says, thinking is hard work.
The president spoke to the teleprompters in front of the AFL-CIO Executive Council.
He is full of shxx. he and his cronies think all they have to do is keep up the inane rhetoric that he loves to
do.....I have seen this scenario many times...yada,yada,etc.
They love their own voice AND think everyone else does,
too. He has never done a thing in his life.’..but talk. JK
Like you said, he has been relentlessly fighting the economy since he took office.
Unfortunately, the economy and Americans are losing this battle and the referee is ready to declare a TKO.
The end result is everyday, hard working citizens face down on the mat as they drown in their own blood, sweat, and tears.
Obama will take more money from the private sector so Democrats can continue spending, and everyone will have less job opportunities, but he will swear that’s going to fix the economy. Any takers?
We should be learning the lessons of England rather than following the same down fall that Islam has brought them and will eventually to us. Political Correctness is the weapon of our enemies.
Well at least he is admitting his at WAR against the EConomy
Define “fight”.
“relentless” = “I will not rest until the Deepwater Horizon is fixed”(?)
“We are not giving up, and we are not giving in.”
I guess he has decided to move from invoking Lincoln to Churchill. Sad that he is able to take great historic words and make them empty.
I just don’t get the Union love for the Democrat Party. It was a Democrat President who signed NAFTA. It was a Democrat President who granted Most Favored Nation trade status to the Peoples’ Republic of China. It was a Democrat President who allowed China to join the WTO. And the current Democrat President is encouraging more illegals to enter the country, thus depressing wages for everyone including Union workers. It makes no sense.
Yes, it's still twitching, but not quite dead.
The Marxist pig.
Don’t forget the democrat anti-fossil fuel stance which would do away with coal, oil and gas mining...all union positions.
How the unions leadership support democrats is easy to understand. Unions leaders get a ton of gimmes from democrat pols. How the union rank and file support them when it will eventually cost them their jobs and livelyhoods makes no sense at all.

"Feeling their pain" works much better when people aren't actually in pain. It worked great for Clinton, but he wasn't trying to put American business out of business.
