Pheh....just more rhetorical sound bytes from a rhetorical politician.

Doubling down on stupid. The ultimate class warrior ginning up the Russian peasantry in preparation for their smashing open the doors of the Duma.
The welfare class in this country is of a different breed than those poor souls.
If you're on welfare in America, you're able, like my sister in law is, to afford to go on a cruise.
When did one of the Russian peasants ever have enough left after harvest to afford a cruise?
Reminds me of one of the customers at work so long ago, 300 pounds if she was an ounce, State Medicaid of course. The Cadillac she drove to the grocery store would bottom out on the pavement as it started the turn traversing the road crown and starting up the sidewalk incline.
Living proof that God didn't mean for you to be able to eat without having to work for it first.

Really?
So no one is supposed to be remarked by a President who says "they should be helping pay down the deficit and pay for things like education and..."???
Really?
It is a stupid, rhetorical thing to say, he knows it and anyone with more than two brain cells knows it.
But...at the same time - in the eyes of many - he can do no wrong.

Balanced approach. More than rhetoric.

 

[Mr. H.]

Obama has always addressed the ignorant. It's how he got elected in the first place.

There's a lot of luck that comes with being wealthy.

Unless you think that Romney worked hard to be born into a rich family.

Romney and Bush were not lucky to be born in a wealthy powerful family.......they EARNED it!

do you agree that people in the '1%' are 'lucky', and that they did not get where they are through hard work and sacrifice?

typical.....

If one does not say something racist...put up a post implying that they meant to.

Get off that kick...it takes away from your credibiity (of which, with me you have)....and it puts you in a class with Truithmatters and Conservaderps.

I have MUCH MORE appropriate question...

And think about it before you knee jerk respond...

How many people have wound UP in poverty after taking the plunge to start their own business in an effort to become financially secure and independant?

It is THAT risk that the successful should be heralded for.
