For some reason, Barack Obama has decided that part of his path to re-election will involve blaming his failures on the American people, who can be insulted into loving him again. This narrative involves convincing us that the American spirit was so degenerate by 2008 that not even the dazzling skills of the LIghtworker could save us… at least, not in a mere four years.
In September, Obama declared that it was his unhappy duty to preside over “a great, great country that has gotten a little soft, and we didn’t have that same competitive edge that we needed over the last couple of decades” during an interview in Orlando. Then it was off to San Francisco, where he told the audience at one of his endless big-bucks campaign fundraisers that “we have lost our ambition, our imagination, and our willingness to do the things that built the Golden Gate Bridge and Hoover Dam.”
Last weekend Obama was at it again, taking time away from golf with an old friend who was busted on prostitution charges to tell a gathering of business executives that he’s still very disappointed in the sloth of the unworthy nation that has been making him look bad, by failing to live up to his expectations.
The Daily Caller relays a sharp response from conservative columnist Charles Krauthammer:
“No one is asking him to go out there and to be a jingoistic cheerleader,” Krauthammer said. “But when you call your own country ‘lazy’ when you are abroad, and call it ‘unambitious and soft’ when you are home, I think what you are showing is not tough love, but ill-conceived, ill-concealed contempt.”

This is deja vu all over again. In my mind I see a man dressed in a cardigan sweater. I feel a malaise coming over me. I cannot wake up from this nightmare.
Anyone who doesn’t see that this guy is trying to destroy US business has his or her head in a hole. But, thank God, we are smarter than him and have more staying power.
Mr. Obama has a chip on his shoulder as large as his ego. And that’s considerable.
With a squatter as America’s POTUS who needs Iran.
It SO pisses me off how Obama disses this country and it’s citizens not only when he’s here, but when he’s in other countries!!!! His disdain and contempt are so apparent. He disgusts me.
For Barry, telling the taxpayers how awful they are never gets old
nobama, you grifter bum. Who do you think pays your way, you freeloading oaf? It is the hard-working “lazy” taxpayer. You putz.
