Obama: Reporters tell me my ideas are 'great'
The Hill ^ | 7/25/13 | Daniel Strauss

Posted on 07/25/2013 9:33:28 AM PDT by Nachum

President Obama said reporters praise his economic proposals as “great” and tell him they are “all good ideas.”

Obama made the remarks in a speech Wednesday in Galesburg, Ill., focused on the economy.

The address didn’t include any new proposals on the economy, and Republicans criticized Obama for giving an address that was more of the same.

But Obama said the news media often praises his ideas.

"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 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.

Obama argued some Republicans privately agree with a lot of his ideas.

“I know because they’ve said so. But they worry they’ll face swift political retaliation for cooperating with me,” he said.

Well then! We should hurry up and pass them, then we can find out what's in them!

Ahhh, yes.

Reporters.

Every last one of them an omniscient, omnipotent, infallible, inerrant expert on all things.

Just ask 'em.

They'll tell you all about it.

In a supercilious, condescending fake british accent.

That’s because the Obamadork and reporters have similar IQs...none of which require more than two digits.

It will be onteresting to watch this narcissist’s final days in office.
I am predicting quite a tantrum.

I do wish the African communist scumbag would name names - - who are these “Republicans” who privately agree with his radical agenda?

*******
For once, he may be telling the truth. There are many Obama sympathizers in the GOP. That’s for sure.

“President Obama said reporters praise his economic proposals as ‘great’ and tell him they are ‘all good ideas.’”

Why does the article say it’s written by Strauss and not John Semmens?

I’m amazed they could remove their lips from his butt long enough to say anything at all.
