Obama: I want Federal Government to be 'aggressive and strong and fast and robust'
Washington Examiner ^ | 11/14/2012 | Charlie Spiering

"It's been aggressive and strong and fast and robust and a lot of people have been helped because of it," Obama added. "That's a pretty good metaphor for how I want federal government to operate generally, and I'm going to do everything I can to make sure it does."

I wasn't thinking legislation as I read those words.

I saw the just as well armed civilian army (attempting to) coming through my village.

A week and a 1/2 day after he conquered the greatest country on the earth. Just disgusting to hear that voice.

Obviously he hasn’t been in a DMV, VA, or Social Security office lately (if ever).

In Crisis time - like Hurricane response - it’s good to be aggressive and fast.

In the rest of the time - which is almost all of the time - I’d rather my government be slow and deliberate.

Was he subconsciously thinking of Fast and Furious?

Pretty obvious Obama doesn’t have an American bone in his body.

How would you like the IRS being all of the above in spying on the way you live and do business, in order to take more of the money you earn?

RE: ‘aggressive and strong and fast and robust’

Were they ‘aggressive and strong and fast and robust’ when our consulate was being attacked in Benghazi?

Yup. He’s not talking about the department of motor vehicles, he’s talking about the guys who will bust your door down in the middle of the night with automatic weapons for unflattering comments about the administration. That’s the part of the government he wants fast and ultra-efficient.

“That’s a pretty good metaphor...” How is anything he said a “metaphor”? Does this guy not know language? I thought he was supposed to be this amazing writer.

I want the federal government to be out of my life, and as remote as it possibly can get from my location.

EXACTLY the opposite of what it should be.

The next four years are going to be really rough with Obamna. More full of himself than ever.

He’s simply telling everyone how will react to those who oppose him. And it will get boner’s attention. They’ll raise the tax on the “RICH”.

Sounds like a declaration of war to me. zero wants to destroy the productive sector and what’s left of the Constitution ASAP.

Also, anybody who thinks we can just “wait this guy out” is kidding themselves. Nazi Germany from beginning to end lasted twelve years. From the german version of hope and change to virtually off of europe in a smoldering ruin. The equivalent of three of our presidential cycles, which go pretty fast.
