Obama: Stop Blaming Unions, Immigrants, Gays By Fred Lucas September 24, 2012

(CNSNews.com) – President Barack Obama told a Wisconsin rally, “I don’t want to spend all our time blaming somebody else – blaming unions or blaming immigrants or blaming gay people or blaming some other group for our trouble.”

Obama spoke Saturday at the Henry Maier Festival Park in Milwaukee, where he accused Republicans of a go-it-alone attitude.

“Their basic philosophy is you’re on your own. If you can’t afford health insurance, hope you don’t get sick,” Obama said. “If you can’t afford to go to college, try to borrow some money from your parents.

“Let me tell you something – that’s not who we are,” the president continued. “I don’t think government can solve all of our problems, but I don’t think it’s the source of all our problems. I don’t want to spend all our time blaming somebody else – blaming unions or blaming immigrants or blaming gay people or blaming some other group for our trouble. I believe we’re all in it together.”

The reference to unions comes after Wisconsin Republican Gov. Scott Walker successfully fought off a union-backed recall effort.

As soon as you stop blaming people who actually work for a living, Barky.

Like Obama blames the rich?

Romney needs to make it clear that he blames Obama, not the voters.

Blaming the voters in a bid to win the election is just stupid. Sharon Angle tried that.

This is another “America’s not laughing at Archie Bunker, they’re laughing WITH him” moment for Obama.

Your typical flyover country voter believes that he or she can blame MANY MANY MANY MANY BAD THINGS on unions, immigrants and gays. And they will vote accordingly.

Getting in their faces with another Bitter Clingers moment was really dumb strategery for Barry.

Unions, Immigrants, Gays

Well, no wonder. At least 2/3 of that is Obama, and he is firmly convinced that nothing is ever his fault, since he is perfect.

“If you can’t afford to go to college, try to borrow some money from your parents."

Or do it like he did using affirmative action, scholarship money that could have went to a real student, and help from his marxist friends.

Straw men are so much more fun to run against.

Romney should also stop raping young boys, punching grandmas, and going on wild drunken sprees.

[[Getting in their faces with another Bitter Clingers moment was really dumb strategery for Barry.]]

Why was it dumb? NOTHIN he does ever ends up hurtign him- this couytnry shoudl be more than ready to throw him to the curb o nelection day for trampling all over oyur constitutional rights, for spitting in our faces, for attackign the supreme court and bullying htem into submission, for attackign the church, for attackign religious organizations, for sitting in a church that cosntantly called on God to damn this country, for forcing unconstitutional healthcare on us, for refusign to do anyhtign abotu rising fuel and energy costs, for refusign to allow businesses to operate economically, etc etc etc- but nope- He’s aghead i nthe polls in some states now- Had a republican done even one or two of htose htigns, they woudl have been impeached, but this president gets away with it scott free!

He coudl take a crap onstage, throw it at the crowd, and hte main stream media would convincew the crowd that whiny o did it for hte good of the country

Nah- nothign ever hurts this ‘president’ because hte main stream media viciously protects their god

The guy (0bama) still thinks that Tom Barrett can win the governorship in November in Wisconsin. Sorry, Barry, but that ship has already sailed and sunk (The Recall happened in June).
