I guess Obama is a Republican tonight!
 

Boy, Can you tell that Obama is running for President?
This has been one of the most ridiculous bunch of BS I have ever heard.
He has said tonight, everything that he has not done or does not believe in as if he has and does.
Wow!

BS-lol. Was talking to Jesse, my "son-in-law to be", on instant message and he gave me play by play of the so called speech. We were calling it BS too. I finally had to ask him to stop before I puke! Jesse thinks Orwell must be doing barrel rolls in his grave.

His statement about believing like Lincoln did, that government should only do for the American people what they can't do better for themselves made me laugh.
He thinks nobody can do it better than government can.
I think this is what the GOP can expect for the next year so Obama can move to the center now to get the independents back. I hope it does not work because it is not honest!

Didn't watch the speech.....but he is about as Republican and Romney is a conservative and Newt a Washington outsider. LOL

Can't argue with that.

There was lots of talk about "fair share" and rich paying more. Look around us, we, that are Villagers, and see what the folks outside the walls think of us. We are RICH, we are 1%, WE have it ALL. I do lots of things outside the prison, err, campus, walls and most folks around us think that we are all RICH, have it ALL. Well maybe you do, but if my wife and I want to do something, take a cruise, a trip, we have to save up for a while. We plan ahead so that we have money to pay for the extras. We are not part of the 1% that Obama was talking about, but people around the Villages don't believe that. He sure was spouting off about "class warfare," and that bother me a lot. I hope that his little stump speech does not start something. Come on November, lets hope that we can change the direction that this country is taking and get rid of the "class warfare" tone of his speeches.

Class warfare is the mantra the Repubs started. :cus:

Provide links on that DaleMN, since it seems that President Obama uses it more and more.

Figmo must be stocking up on his ammo as it sounds as though he is thinking the 99% outside The Villages will be coming for us en masse.

Links are overrated. You can find a link for any particular stance you support. I suggest you just listen to the Republican candidates. :cus:

Just as a point of reference, the "top 1%" is having an annual income north of some $380,000/year.

Just another campaign speech, but a very expensive one. The unbearable price being paid is the unity of our nation and society.

Instead of always referring to "those who make over $250,000 per year" in the same sentence with "The One Percent", why doesn't Obama hold up for hatred and demonization the names of

Bill Gates - $59 Billion

Warren Buffet - $39 Billion

George Soros - $22 Billion

Mark Zuckerberg - $17.5 Billion

Steve Jobs - $7 Billion

Oprah Winfrey - $2.7 billion (and imagine that with this net worth, she ranks #139 in the Forbes list of 400 Richest Americans)
The Richest People in America List - Forbes

It is sickening to see our friends, neighbors and relatives who work themselves to the bone to run a small business, hire people, and yes, earn $250k per year that they report for PERSONAL income tax at the highest rate.....to be lumped in with the likes of the list above...

....as though the small business person is taxed at the same "low" rate as Bill Gates and Warren Buffet!

The distortion in the talk is mind-boggling.

I said this in 2008 on this forum...the President has only a background in working as a community organizer where that was hia job, ie. to promote the class warfare and the "us against them" mentality...that is what he did for a living !!!!

Since then, he has been a politician running for office and please dont tell me he served as a senator...we all know how much he has done that. A career politician with the background he has knows only one thing !!!

What is usually missing in the discussions about taxing the rich and only above $250,000 is this.
Government says that is will not raise taxes on the middle class and then goes out and starts up several new programs. Then directs the states and other government agencies to implement these new programs to help the middle class and poor. So they do or else they are sued by Holder.
These new programs have cost, those cost are passed on to the "middle class" and "poor" as fees and taxes at a local level allowing the government and Obama lie like he did last night went saying he is there to protect the American dream and the middle class.
The fees and taxes that are passed on to the middle class are then raised to a higher level for small business owners like me. If you don't have or never had a small business I am not interested in what you think about how we are treated because you know nothing about it.
All of this is diquised by the federal government and Obama as not raising taxes on the middle class, BS. It is just a shell game and he and everybody in his administration knows what they are doing when masking these TAXES on us by making our state and local governments have to raise them and they get the blame instead of Obama.

I know that these fees and local taxes don't push people over the $380,000 mark that Djplong stated but it still counts and it comes out of your paycheck or bank account everyday.
Obama saving the middle class......not a chance in hell!!

The lies. The blindsightedness. The ignorance. I just can'ts bear it. :cus:
