Politics August 17, 2011 Obama Dismisses Farmer's Concerns About Regulations: 'Don't Always Believe What You Hear' Fire it up 94 Share During a town hall meeting at Wyffels Hybrids in Atkinson, Illinois, a farmer expressed concern to President Obama about forthcoming regulations. The man stated that people would rather be farming than "filling out forms and permits to do what we like to do." President Obama told the farmer "don't always believe what you hear" and blamed Washington for ginning up speculation. Obama added that, "Nobody is more interested in seeing our agricultural sector successful than I am, partly because I come from a farm state."

"don't always believe what you hear"

I think that applied to the Obozo too.

Obama Dismisses Farmer’s Concerns About Regulations: ‘Don’t Always Believe What You Hear’

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Farmer should have said: Don’t worry Obammie. I NEVER believe what I hear from you.

Effing liar.

LIAR LIAR TAIL ON FIRE...

The fact is, under the Obama administration, the DOT is planning to call for Farmers who operate major farm equipment (trucks, tractors, large harvesters, etc.) to have to get a Commercial License (CDL) in order to operate the machinery on their own property and then fill out all the logs and adhere to all of the schedules like a commercial truck driver or face fines and loss of license.

it will kill the small farmers all over America...and they will have a fight on their hands should they actually try and implement such a travesty.

'Don't Always Believe What You Hear'

Especially if he's talking

[ronnie raygun]

Is that like the legislation that anything with a motor on a farm is required a CDL licence? a##clowns

here come the jobs!

[Presbyterian Reporter]

Obama can talk all he wants but at the end of the day it is Obama who has increased government regulations whereever he can.

Ever hear of EPA?

I think USDA is like the Secret Police, compared to EPA, who are more like brownshirts.

I first heard of USDA/SCS back in the early '90s when I tried to sell someone there a piece of software. What he told me about his operation should have been frightening to me.

It is not "believing what you hear" that is the problem. Farmers right now today are overburdened with paperwork filling out forms and permits; that is, the problem is over regulation for farmers. Our President is really out of touch; his BIG government is the problem.

DOT has backed off on that regulatory proposal for equipment operators to have a CDL to move down the road. It was just late last week it came out...

"I even amaze myself with my bull crap!!

[NEMDF]

I assume that will mean things like 10 hour limits, no licenses for 14 year olds, huge increases in licensing fees, etc. I do not see how this legislation benefits anyone except the larger farm operations (eliminate competition), and whatever tax-collecting entity will get all the additional fees.

Dunham’s standard response to everything is a variation of
“you are too stupid to understand the issue at hand”
