Stand back, the President said, and let the professional politicians handle this debt crisis thingy

barack obama

Best damn press conference ever. EVER! Because President Obama had several moments where the mask dropped away and revealed the face of his elitism.

Like this one where he said that “professional politicians” understand the debt crisis better than the mere members of the public.

Now hold on just a minute, Mr. President. Wasn’t it the professional politicians who got us into this mess in the first place?

  • Well this member of the general public is the one (among many) who is going to be in a world of financial Sh*t because of the choices and actions of the professional politicians. So I feel I have a vested interest in what they are planning and doing, regardless of what they think. I don't have money squirreled away in off shore and overseas accounts. If I don't get paid, I starve!

  • I guess we should also defer to The Jump Shooter in Chief who is throwing himself an F-ing birthday party...It will only cost some people $38,000 for VIP seats. Just so happens the day after he set the deadline for us going broke.

    I HATE THIS MANCHILD

  • Me dummie, he smartie... He big head, me small head.

    Yeah you know what Barackie, you get "paid" to do what is best for the country, not to run your own dictatorship. Fool.

  • If these asswipes, er professional politicians, were running a crack rehab center their solution would be to bring in several truck loads of crack and give it to the addicts. The journalists would oooh and ahhhh about what a brilliant plan this is. Then they would all be stunned when no addicts are cured, and in fact, worse off than they were before they received this "professional help".
    I wish I were being facetious but I am not.

    • There wouldn't be enough crack left for the rehabitants after these pros got themselves the first shipment.

    • Whats the difference between the president and the dog shit on my shoe?

      The president is the one with the golf club and the shit will eventually turn white and stop stinking.

  • Anyone notice the numbers at the bottom of the screen? I would love to listen to some of those comments... I love how he says that "professional politicians" understand the financial crisis better than the general public. Like the author says, wasn't it the professional politicians , both sides, who got us into this mess in the first place? I had a debate with an old high school friend yesterday who was miffed that I was making fun of FLOTUS and her 1700cal meal... This is exactly the point I was trying to make, but couldn't figure out the right descriptor. I kept saying it's the hypocrisy, but it's beyond that! It's not that she splurged ROYALLY, cause can we really call a 1700 cal meal a mere splurge, & more than the fact that she and POTUS are trying to tell us how to "get healthy," it was the fact that they are trying to shove it down our throats because have this "they know better than us" elitism. Elitism is the perfect descriptor.

  • I am re-reading Craig Shirley's book, Rendezvous with Destiny, all about Reagan's 1980 campaign. The first time I read it I raced to the good part of the book where Reagan kick Carter's ass and this time I'm being more disciplined. The book discusses the state of union under Carter and the similarity to what we are enduring with Obama is startling.

    Hopefully November 2012 provides the country with the same relief we got in November of 1980.
