Obama: America's Gone 'Soft'
Weekly Standard ^ | Sept. 29, 2011 | DANIEL HALPER

Posted on 09/29/2011 10:18:31 PM PDT by Smokeyblue

In an interview this evening with a local NBC affiliate in Orlando, President Obama claimed that America has "gotten a little soft."

"I mean, there are a lot of things we can do," Obama said. "The way I think about it is, you know, this is a great, great country that had gotten a little soft and, you know, we didn't have that same competitive edge that we needed over the last couple of decades. We need to get back on track."

Well, I hate to say it, but I think in some respects he’s right. There are a lot of Americans who have gone soft. It’s sort of a natural development when you have entire generations who have had it very easy. But I have no doubt that if you put Americans in a tough situation, they will pull it together and come out on top.

“See now he’s blaming us. It’s all our fault.”( for being so soft)

It’s because we haven’t eaten our peas !

Now if we had followed Popeye’s example and eaten our peas with spinach , we would be kickin a$$ !!

Wow. The 1970's all over again. I remember being blamed then for the "Crisis of Confidence" the country was in. Obummer is a horses ass. BTW, was he wearing a sweater in the interview?

I guess now that Winter is on it's way, I should expect another speech on keeping my thermostat at 65.
