NEW YORK (AP) -- President Barack Obama warned Monday that the United States is headed down a "perilous path" if its leaders cannot move quickly and responsibly to help people get back to work.
Obama, speaking at an exclusive Park Avenue fundraiser for his re-election and for other Democrats, promoted his plans to spur hiring and put a dent in the long-term debt. He proposes to pay for his ideas in large part by raising taxes on wealthy Americans and corporations.
Republican leaders have offered strong opposition to his economic program.
`'If we don't succeed, then I think this country is going to go down a very perilous path," Obama told his audience in brief remarks in front of reporters.
He said that meant conditions would get worse for everyone, rich and poor.
Obama spoke at the home of Ralph Schlosstein and Jane Hartley. About 60 people paid $35,800 each to attend.

...and send Congress home for a 10 year unpaid recess! Hell, pay the jerks to stay away.
And, while we're at it, let's pay the bureaucracy to stay home and drink beer. They'll do a lot less damage there than at their desks.

Well now, there's 60 people that can maked a special gift to the U.S. government. It even has it's own tax form.
But wait! Yah, that's right, these are LIBERALS. They only want you to pay the extra taxes & fees, not them. Typical RAT bastards hypocrisy once again!

"Obama warns of 'perilous path' for US" BS - the US is on the path that HE AND HIS SOCIALIST PALS IN CONGRESS PUT US ON.
All he has to do to PARTIALLY FIX EVERYTHING HE HAS DONE is repeal everything Congress has passed since he went into office - THEN CUT GOVERNMENT SIZE by 50 percent across the board, and halt all government spending where ever possible.
This is all his - no one else's, other than his fellow Rats.

I am in pissed mode tonight. How dare he give another blah,blah speech! Sit you butt in your officer and get to work. I picture Reagan at his desk calling all in congress to get in his office to work out how to help the country. This SOB is just doing what he can to collapse us and worse, stir the pot to the point of boiling over! Pray we make it to 2012 and the idiots stay home.I am too. Just listened to the mainstream radio media report a poll that 70% support soaking the rich with more taxes. Double barf.

Barry warned that the US is headed down a perilous path...
because he’s got nothing to run on. The economy sucks and the stimulus
didn’t work. Solyndra is #1 example of the stimulus. Half a billion of
taxpayer money down the rat hole.
So like any good community organizer (Alinsky disciple), he is going to create a distraction.
Look OVER THERE.
Stir up class warfare.
Stir up anger at Republicans for blocking anything Dear Leader wants.
Never mind the Senate Democrats are not saying yes.
He did a putrid job as President for 3 years while his party held both
houses of Congress.
Yet, it’s those mean people — the Repubs who have only been in office
6 months and hold only the House.
They are the reason your life and job and foreclosure sucks.
SO vote for me. I am Barack Obama. Worship me. I am God. I am the
gift to America.
GOd help the American people to vote this incompetent cocaine user out.

I am so sick of the evil lies that come from Obama. People are not focused on what he is doing. He is purposefully shaping the attitudes and thoughts of the masses by repeating half-truths and diametric lies. Yes, people are answering against what he is saying but not the technique he is constantly using - pure Alinsky, pure Satan.
Someone in the GOP or the candidates or (God hoping) Sarah need to continually speak of his technique to the American People, so that the masses start to say "Yeah, he says what sounds right in theory and principle but he himself is the one who is doing things the opposite."
He is in constant brainwash mode - every time, not sometimes, not most of the time - EVERY time he opens his mouth he employs this strategy - speak the opposite of what is or what he is doing or intending, so that people get suckered and subconsciously think he's on the right track.
You see it with Axelrod, Pflouffer(sp?), Joe Burton, Gibbs - makes me sick and angry. But we need to stop just answering his what and start blasting against his con.

The only "perilous path" we have taken as a country recently happened in 2008, when the most dangerous, inept, incompetent and treasonous president in the history of the US.
We now find ourselves in the resulting fiscal and societal hole. And the First Moron just keeps finding bigger shovels.
