Obama uses ‘Occupy Wall Street’ language in weekly address
The Daily Caller ^ | 10/29/2011 | Paul Conner

Posted on 10/29/2011 6:13:10 PM PDT by martosko

President Barack Obama and Occupy Wall Street are speaking the same language.

In his weekly address to the nation, Obama cited an economic report showing that the middle class has lost ground to “the top one percent.”

“The average income for the top one percent of Americans has risen almost seven times faster than the income of the average middle class family,” he said. “And this has happened during a period where the cost of everything from health care to college has skyrocketed.”

One day he’s pandering to “the 1%”, the next day he’s pandering to the 99¢ers. What a “leader”! He’s got all of his bases covered.

“Now, in this country, we don’t begrudge anyone wealth or success — we encourage it. We celebrate it,” he said. “But America is better off when everyone has had the chance to get ahead — not just those at the top of the income scale. The more Americans who prosper, the more America prospers.”

“when everyone has had the chance....”

Ain’t that brilliant!?

Of course he’s using the language. It’s the democrat mantra. At my county’s fair last week the dem’s booth was giving away “we are the 99%” bumper stickers.

Every time Obama speaks, he insults our intelligence. And every time he insults our intelligence, he calls his own into further question.

Obama is a part of that 1%

Only he doesn’t have to spend his money on anything.

He spends ours and saves his.

The 99% better ake up and see what this clown is doing. They should be picketing the White House.-—Even though Obama is never there.

Obama is saying that we should divide ourselves into income groups.

And the other group can tell the other group how much they deserve
and use our federal IRS agents and laws to “crack down” on them as
it were.

Not Hitler against the Jews. Hitler against the successful.

They are the cause of our problems. THey deserve shame and protest
and violence against them, just like the Jews.

We should go to their homes and confront them.

In fact, Obama is saying, they don’t deserve to live.

That’s the logical conclusion of Obama’s talk.

Disgusting.

Hitlerian.

Good Point. Didn’t Obama claim we were going to save $2500
annually from Obamacare in our premiums?

With Obamacare in place, my health insurance costs should be utopian.
