Obama: We've gone a bit 'soft'

President Obama, making his pitch to Floridians in a state where polls show him struggling, characterized the nation's problems this way:

“This is a great country that had gotten a little soft, and we didn’t have that same competitive edge that we needed over the last couple of decades,” Obama told Payne. “We need to get back on track, but I still wouldn’t trade our position with any countries on Earth. We still have the best universities, best scientists and best workers in the world. We still have the most dynamic economic system in the world. So we just need to bring those things together.”

First time I’ve agreed with Barry. The whole damn bunch have gone “soft” in the head.

[Mr. Mojo]

"We still have the most dynamic economic system in the world."

Despite Hussein's best attempts to change that.

[Sacajaweau]

We need to get rid of the EPA, put the wolves in their place, let the owls fend for themselves and drill, drill, drill!!!

AND GET RID OF OBAMACARE....FOREVER.

"We still have the best universities, best scientists and best workers in the world. We still have the most dynamic economic system in the world. So we just need to bring those things together get rid of me.”

[pallis]

Those things will come together when we find out how to get the biggest government in the world out of the way.

[philman_36]

So we just need to bring those things together.
Ummmm, Mr. Dunham, you've been in the position to bring those things together for some time now so...what's the problem?
If you had ever intended to bring things together you would have already brought those things together.
IMO all you've done, Mr. Dunham, is drive things apart.

[Palladin]

He wasn’t talking like that four years ago, when he was Rev. Wright’s ingenue and Bill Ayers’ acolyte.

[Cringing Negativism Network]

Same here.

How about we start with a real trade policy.

One which puts AMERICA FIRST.

[manc]

first two things which need to be overturned
this insane don’t ask for our military and health care.

As for him going soft, well he has only the queer crowd now and maybe that is why he is pandering so much to them.

Course if the GOP played it right then they can have zero’s pro cross dressing and pro homo speeches played to the black community.

Yes the man is soft before he got elected, actually the man is a fairy

We need to get rid of the EPA, put the wolves in their place, let the owls fend for themselves and drill, drill, drill!!! AND GET RID OF OBAMACARE....FOREVER. YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Under Obama, U.K. Passes U.S. in Economic Freedom Rankings

BY JEFFREY H. ANDERSON
Sept. 20, 2011

As the Washington Post’s Jennifer Rubin writes, the Economic Freedom Network is out with its latest rankings of how countries stack up in securing economic freedom, and the United States has now fallen to 10th place in the world rankings — behind the United Kingdom. Numerically, the U.S. fell off steeply between the ratings for 2008 and those for 2009 — the first year of the Obama presidency and the most recent year measured — with only Ireland, the Philippines, and Kuwait falling off more. (Even Greece fell off a bit less.)

The EPA thinks I want to live to 90 at 50 bucks a week under a damn bridge.

[Envisioning]

Hey Bami!

Sorry mods, been wanting to try that out.

[stboz]

I think the Boy needs a ground-level tour of Mogadishu.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

By "we," Ubama means we peasants.

Not him. He never does nothing wrong.

[hinckley buzzard]

You probably would have agreed with Carter that America's problems stemmed from "malaise" among the people instead of destructive gubbermint, right?

[Cringing Negativism Network]

Some of our companies chose to do it to themselves, by firing Americans and shipping millions of jobs to China.

No sympathy here, for any company doing that.

Shut the door. Let them try to deal with China themselves. Start the trade war.

Obama hates this country and has little respect for its people or its history. He goes around the globe apologizing for this country. His Marxist agenda is meant to toughen us up and introduce centralized government control over our lives. It is the Obama administration that is pushing and expanding the welfare state, e.g., giving the state of Oregon a monetary award for increasing the number of people on food stamps.
