“I think most folks understand how hard I work and how hard this administration is working on behalf of the American people,” he said.

The comments came in an interview with Larry Conners of KMOV-St. Louis, who asked: “The economy is a big issue and concern for folks. I mean, the unemployment, trying to make ends meet, gas prices, food prices going up.

And don't forget how the media crucified George Bush for taking vacations at his own house. His own house, not some rented palace in Hawaii or Martha's Vineyard. They said Bush was “out of touch with the common man” for doing that, yet they never say a word, in fact they cover for Obama, saying “he deserves it”. Obama owns property in Chicago, yet to my knowledge he has never taken a vacation to it. Bush went to his own house and the press hammered him for it, but Obama never stays at his own place and the press doesn't even whisper a word about it. Lousy, rotten bums, the lot of them.

I can't stand the way he refers to us as “folks”. Why doesn't he just come out and call us comrades?

A little street-knowledge, acquired when I was a drug addict:

"Folk" in the black community means two things: Cops, as in "Naw man, Folk be lookin'." It also means "my people", like "yo Folk, what it be?"

-—Yeah, and the problem is how many of these hard working average families will march back into the voting booth this November and vote to put this a-hole back in?——

Ugh. Yet the takers vote as a block. Go figure.

They are throwing all of these vacations into the faces of the hard working average families who have tightened their belts just to survive!!

Yep. They have taken over 5 vacas a year on me and I haven’t had one. That stinks! I’m voting often in November.

Few estimates exist for the cost of flying the president, vice president and Cabinet and administration officials around the country, but the extensive advance teams, Secret Service agents, vehicles and military and civilian personnel required are not cheap. In 1998, the Air Force estimated the cost of operating Air Force One, a modified Boeing 747, at at least $57,000 an hour.

Who foots bill when Obama travels?

A search of Obama campaign Federal Election Commission reports turned up less than $5,500 in payments last year to the U.S. Treasury — and those payments did not list the purpose behind them.

Right on! It makes my blood boil that the man/child pantload even deigns to use the term “folks” in any context. “Folks” means salt-of-the-earth “nice” people. Regular people. Wage earning, God fearing, some “stay-at-home-mom,” pay the damn taxes people. The kind of people who despise dear leader.

Thank you!! I forgot about President Bush being hammered for taking working vacations to his TX ranch...... In 3 years it has never been mentioned that Obama went to his Chicago home..... Yet we have several security people around the clock guarding his home.....

‘Yeah, and the problem is how many of these hard working average families will march back into the voting booth this November and vote to put this a-hole back in?’

************************************************************************

“George Soros” will be in-control of “Counting” our Electronic Votes!!

************************************************************************
Scytl is a global company which actually Counts the electronic votes….. “George Soros” owns this Company (or he owns a good portion of this company)

Obama ensures his fraudulent re-election….
a Soros-owned Spanish company will count the ballots !

Here’s another of those quiet, subtle, but very dangerous little stories that has somehow slipped past all the mainstream media outlets.

The United States of America has a brand new private “VOTE COUNTING” company that the Obama administration has personally handpicked.

Scytl is the name of the Spanish Company owned by “George Soros”!!

Those who cast the votes ……………decide nothing.
“Those who ‘COUNT” the votes …………….decide everything”.

Obama needs to be “removed” before the election & charged with “Treason” against The United States of America for using Forged Documents to become POTUS!!!!!!
