WOONSOCKET, R.I. – President Barack Obama attacked Republicans with gusto Monday as he plunged into a final week of midterm election campaigning, but his party's prognosis remained darkened by the feeble economy and his itinerary was designed largely to minimize losses. Nor was his greeting totally friendly in a state where Obama has pointedly declined to endorse his party's candidate for governor. Obama can "take his endorsement and shove it," declared Democrat Frank Caprio, battling Republican-turned-independent Lincoln Chafee in a Rhode Island gubernatorial race rated tight in the polls. Chafee endorsed Obama during the 2008 campaign for the White House.
In a little more than five hours in the state, Obama was booked for a factory tour and for a pair of fundraisers that party officials said would bring in $500,000. He said Republicans had driven the economy into a ditch and then stood by and criticized while Democrats pulled it out. Now that progress has been made, he said, "we can't have special interests sitting shotgun. We gotta have middle class families up in front. We don't mind the Republicans joining us. They can come for the ride, but they gotta sit in back."

“...they can come for the ride, but they have to sit in back.” I don’t think so. Middle class families make up the Republicans.
Wow! In the Oval Office, isn’t there a playbook explaining “How To ACT Presidential”????
All newbies should have a crash course on any new job.
Guess this guy missed all that while he was playing golf and making vacation plans.
He makes me want to PUKE!
They can come for the ride, but they gotta sit in back.”
Well well...NOW we know WHO the REAL RACIST is, don’t we?
So will the next REPUBLICAN SOH make a point of telling ZERO that “WE WON”.
You put the economy in the Grand Canyon Loser
“They can come for the ride, but they gotta sit in back.”
Nya-AH! Rosa Parks says I can sit anywhere I choose! And Martin agrees with her, too.
Obowma is a racist dog
Yeah, he’s a real class act.
Imagine if Bush, McCain, Palin, or Reagan had said a thing like that. Even if race was not involved they would have screamed it was a racist statement.
Anyone of any persuasion who actually bought into the 2008 nonsense about 0 leading us to a higher plane and bringing us all together has now been proven to be a total sap.
I finally have something in common with Rosa Parks. Post racial my a$$.
*sigh*
He’s still on the ‘car thing’? He finally ditched the ‘Slurpee thing’?
Just think what a despicable piece of filth you would have to be for Obama to decline to endorse a member of his own party who’s running against you.
Not only must this Presidency be destroyed, completely...this man’s legacy must be expunged from every textbook for 100 years.
We don’t mind the Republicans joining us. They can come for the ride, but they gotta sit in back.” ====== racist comment!
Is he trying to motivate the Republicans?
I think it needs to be remembered (accurately) so it is not repeated. This current batch of idiots who voted him into office sadly won't be the last batch of idiots.
While I would gladly give up my seat for a lady or a child, I will not ride in the back of any vehicle piloted by such a crass and classless leader.
The presidency has been degraded beyond anything I’ve seen in my 5 decades.
Major disconnect. The Obama Legacy.
Racist narcissistic POS.
Does think there are no black Republicans?
Indeed!
*sigh*
He’s still on the ‘car thing’? He finally ditched the ‘Slurpee thing’?
