Obama Says Republicans Cannot Have the Keys Back to the Car: "No! You Can't Drive"
ABC news ^ | May 13, 2010 | Sunlen Miller

Posted on 05/13/2010 5:24:13 PM PDT by DukeBillie

In partisan remarks before the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee’s (DCCC) fundraising dinner this evening, President Obama said that Republicans are like bad drivers, who once drove the car into a ditch and now want the keys back.

“After they drove the car into the ditch, made it as difficult as possible for us to pull it back, now they want to keys back. No! You can’t drive. We don’t want to have to go back into the ditch. We just got the car out.”

Appearing before about 185 people at a fundraiser hauling in $1.3 million at the St. Regis hotel in New York City, the president painted the Republican party in unflattering light, as the party standing in the way of reform.

“They’ve done their best to gum up the works to make it look broken. To say no to every single thing,” he quipped.

For example the president said that despite economic improvements recently Republicans are still falling “all over themselves to argue otherwise.”

And on the Republican pledge to repeal health care, the president said he is not going to let that happen.

“Now they are talking about repealing when they take over in November,” Obama exclaimed, “I’m confident that as long as we’re able to get our message out, with your help the American people aren’t going to let that happen.”

The president claimed that the Democrats had led the “most productive legislative session in history” and that while “everybody’s kinda pooped” due to the lack of “help from the other side of the aisle,” that now is the time to push on.

“After a stormy time, people may be a little sea sick. But right now the waters are calm. There on the horizon we can see our destination. Now is not the time to lose heart. Now is not the time to get complacent. Now is the time to remind ourselves of what America is all about and return Democrats to the House of Representatives.”

The president had a little backward compliment for the Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi who had introduced him a few moments before.

“Nancy Pelosi, that’s one tough lady. And she’s so elegant. Even as she’s ripping your heart out. If you mess with her.”

Tickets for the fundraiser for House Democrats were $50,000 for couples attending the VIP reception, $15,000 per individual and $30,400 per couple for the dinner. The menu was created by celebrity chefs, Jacques Pepin, Alain Sailhac and Jacques Soltner.

...And now Obama and the dems have wrecked the car. When it no longer drives at, the wheels have fallen off, its outa gas and the battery is dead, I suppose we’ll just leave er on the side of the road and ride a non-farting, CO2 free horse off to prosperity.

Zer0 is driving away from the Constitution as fast as he can. Sort of like a get-away from a robbery. He needs to be chased down and stopped and made to make restitution.

He keeps implying that things are improving.

If the mainstream press had any integrity at all, which they do not, they'd make him justify that claim.

Guy is severely narcissistic delusional.

Also, gee, so much for working with Republicans. IF this sh1t finally isn’t enough to keep all the Republicans hanging together, then nothing will.

Barry better hope those birth lawsuits don’t go anywhere.

And everyone, keep a lookout for false flag ops close to the election in order to suspend the elections (and subsequent democrat bloodbath losses).

This guy damages his image every time he does something immature and below the dignity of the office. This has both of those traits. We know who and what he is... even some of "them" are seeing it.

Has anyone actually seen Barry driving a car ?
Other than a bumper car at an amusement park ?

Michelle emasculated him in her speech to the Democrat Convention in 2008 by describing his driving skills as that of a 90 yr old grandmother.

” He’s the same man who drove me and our new baby daughter home from the hospital ten years ago this summer,
inching along at a snail’s pace, peering anxiously at us in the rearview mirror,..”

He probably used a dead man’s Social Security card from CT for identification.

But she said it appears the number Obama is using was previously issued by the Social Security Administration. After an extensive check of the proprietary databases she uses as a licensed private investigator, Daniels determined that the first occurrence of Obama’s association with the number was in 1986 in Chicago. Daniels assumes, but cannot prove, that Obama took on a previously issued Social Security number that had gone dormant due to the death of the original holder.

http://fellowshipofminds.wordpress.com/2010/05/13/obama-uses-dead-connecticuters-social-security-number/

Q20: Are Social Security numbers reused after a person dies?

A: No. We do not reassign a Social Security number (SSN) after the number holder’s death. Even though we have issued over 415 million SSNs so far, and we assign about 5 and one-half million new numbers a year, the current numbering system will provide us with enough new numbers for several generations into the future with no changes in the numbering system.

One of my brother’s friends girlfriend. Sweet girl

Was arguing on the way from a party when she grabbed the

a world of good, quit drinking and turned his life around.

The ‘Great Uniter’ commandeered the car with lies and then, within a month, sold it to 5 different people, 6 different organizations, and 3 different countries.
He now has to hide the car in the neighbor’s garage at night to avoid having it re-possessed.
He added sugar to the gas tank to ‘fuel’ our economy. He says that he is converting the engine to run on Hope.

Every day he pulls another piece of the engine out and throws it to the side of the road before backing over it a few times.

He let most of the air out of the tires to protect the longevity of the tread and improve Hope mileage.

He is having a teleprompter rack added to the roof.
His personalized license plate reads ‘I AM’

He believes motor vehicle regulations do not apply to him so he is routinely seen violating right of way rules but blames others for ‘crossing his path’ as he sails through red lights.
Well if I can employ Obama’s ‘advanced’ communication techniques, I suppose anyone can. I just wish it wasn’t the national stage and our president doing so. I am continually stunned at the image Obama chooses to project. Sure it’s a false image, but if you were going to go to all that trouble to build a false reputation for integrity, wit, wisdom, would you act like that? I mean, the baser his comportment becomes, the higher he believes he is elevating himself above ‘the rabble.’
