Michelle Obama: ‘Building Our Economy Starts With the Restaurants ...’

Michelle Obama: ‘Building Our Economy Starts With the Restaurants ...’ By Terence P. Jeffrey August 6, 2012

(CNSNews.com) - Striking a similar theme to one her husband also struck last week, First Lady Michelle Obama said on Friday that President Barack Obama’s tax plan will help build the economy by building up restaurants.

“So I want you to remind folks that Barack has cut taxes for working families by $3,600, and he has cut taxes for small businesses 18 times--18 times,” Mrs. Obama said in Springfield, Mass. “Because what your president understands is that building our economy starts with the restaurants and the stores and the startups that create two-thirds of all new jobs in this economy. That’s what we need you to do.”

On Thursday at Loudon County High School in Leesburg, Va., President Obama had said that hiring new teachers will help the economy because those new teachers will go out and eat at restaurants.

“But if you look at our history, if you look at the facts, every time we’ve grown, it hasn’t been by the top down. It’s been from the middle out. It’s been from the bottom out,” Obama said at the high school. “When middle-class families are doing well, lo and behold, everybody does well. If that construction worker has got a little extra money in his pocket, he goes and spends it maybe on a new car. When we’ve got new teachers doing great work with our kids, then you know what, they go to a restaurant and spend that money. And so suddenly businesses are doing well, the economy is doing well, and we get into a virtuous cycle. And we go up.”

Now is that just Chinese restaurants, or all restaurants?

I thought you had to be a blond to be a bimbo(?)

My wife and I work, there’s been no decrease in our taxes. The bogus FICA 2% reduction which will be a bone of an increase when that goes into effect! (If Soc. Sec is going bankrupt how did they even allow that reduction for 2 years happen? rhetorical)

Uh oh - the last thing the economy needs is for Obama to get invovled in the restaurant business:

Obama wants to raise taxes so the government can continue buying soda for $3.40 per can

This lady can just shut up and furthermore if the Bush Tax Cuts for the “Rich” are not extended I will not have enough money to go to the 7-11 for dinner let alone a restaurant.
Does she even know that gas is $3.98 a gallon where I live
who has money to eat out. I wish she would fall of a cliff on one of her many sight seeing adventures and I would be even more pleased if she would be holding hands with her baby daddy when she fell over.

Come on Mitt there is a TV Commercial and a speech here all for the taking. Use what these two fools give you.
So paying Teachers, not with state money but FEDERAL money will get them to eat out. Hell Obama why don’t you cut school down to 3 months instead of 8 months then they can eat while on vacation. CLUELESS.

Economic recovery begins with the service industry?

Michelle, Michelle....Michelle, what does one say after that?

Gobsmacked just by the title alone.

If socialists aren’t embarrassed by this, then, all “HOPE” is lost for them.

Blind leading the blind.....eerrrr, don’t point out the pit before them, they’ll only accuse you of “HATE” speach.
