Obama: Reporters tell me I have ‘all good ideas’
DailyCaller ^ | 07/25/2013

After calling for Republicans in Congress to set aside “short-term politics,” President Barack Obama bragged that reporters support all of his economic plans in a speech given on Wednesday in Galensberg, Illinois.

“It’s interesting, in the run-up to this speech, a lot of reporters say that, well, Mr. President, these are all good ideas, but some them of you’ve said before; some of them sound great, but you can’t get those through Congress. Republicans won’t agree with you,” Obama said.

So is he admitting what we all know to be true, that the media has a liberal bias?

He’s the idea president. Beyond that....if you can’t convert the ideas into reality....it’s pretty much a dead topic to discuss.

Marxism wasn’t Hussein’s idea. It was born in the 19th century.

Though it was tried by early American colonists in Massachusetts two centuries before Marx. It was such a disaster that it had to be abandoned (lest it turn into a White version of Detroit circa 1620).

It’s always been a disaster. That’s what gets me about this latest attempt by the American Marxists aka, democRAT party. Socialism has never worked but for some strange reason they believe it will in America. Kooky.

If we didn’t know what an arrogant and clueless moron he was his quote might seem unbelievable. But we do and it is.

Get a load out of this thread on my local urban forum with true-believing lefties — a discussion on health care. I’m prominently featured in it.

I’m surprised he can hear them, with their pucker so far between his nether cheeks.

“It’s interesting, in the run-up to this speech, a lot of reporters say that, well, Mr. President, these are all good ideas, but some them of you’ve said before; some of them sound great, but you can’t get those through Congress. Republicans won’t agree with you,” Obama said.

In all fairness, this sounds like a mere figure of speech, i.e. a polite way of saying, "Even setting aside the issue as to whether those ideas have any merit, you still won't be able to get them passed."

Is this from the onion? Is this a semi-satire? Or does he really not understand the bubble he’s living in?
