If this video doesn’t demonstrate Obama’s phoniness on the issue of “uniting” people I don’t know what does. It was taken from a stump speech he gave for Creigh Deeds (Democrat candidate for Governor in VA) on Thursday. Greg Hengler does an excellent job of piecing together the President’s blantant dueling positions on the issue of “bringing people together” (via HA):
OBAMA #1: “It starts off with the basic idea that we’re all in this together. Mark Warner came in at a time when the fashionable politics was the nasty kind of politics, the slash-and-burn politics, the arguing and arguing without everything — ever getting anything done kind of politics. And Mark Warner said, you know what, we can try something different. What we’re going to do is we’re going to be pragmatic instead of ideological. We are going to try to bring people together rather than push them apart. We are going to make sure that we listen to other people’s ideas.”
OBAMA #1: “But I don’t want the folks who created the mess — I don’t want the folks who created the mess do a lot of talking. I want them just to get out of the way so we can clean up the mess. I don’t mind cleaning up after them, but don’t do a lot of talking.”
If that’s the case, then about 85% of Congress – including Chris Dodd and Barney Frank – should get the hell out of the way, and so should Obama’s sorry behind. In fact, that’s a damned good idea, Mr. President. Let the demagogues who helped create this mess take a back seat while those who didn’t work to clean it up. Perfect!
Oh – and it’s too bad none of his devotees, including those in the MSM, will never have the guts to ask him how essentially telling his opponents to shut up, as well as sicking union thugs on older Americans, seniors, and veterans fits in with the whole “working together” thing.
I could go on and on about how so many of us warned people last year of this man’s duplicity on the issue of “bipartisanship” but then I’d become enraged even more – something I’m trying to avoid as we head into the weekend.

Dang it, ST, why don’t you just go away and leave my loving little lemmings alone. If you and others like you would just stop raising such inconvenient truths we could have this whole takeover accomplished within the next few months, but NOOO, you and they keep on bringing up the past. Why can’t you look to the future, guided, of course, by all my smooth siren assurances that everything will be OK?
Very Sincerely Yours,
Barry
p.s. – looking forward to seeing you in one of our FEMA camps soon.
Sorry, almost repeated my comment. My bad.
I love how he thinks he can ‘clean this mess up.’ If we survive four years of him, the word ‘mess’ won’t even come close to describing the shambles of wrecked nation we will be. And someone please explain to me how his march to complete and total Socialism and dictatorialship is going to work when he is punishing us pay-ers and constantly rewarding, aiding and elevating the pay-ees of society? Who does he think is going to have to pay for all this so-called ‘cleaning’ he is doing? I say clean his ass out of the White House before it is entirely too late.
Oh, you had me worried for a second, ST – when I read your headline my first thought was “Uh oh, she’s going all birther on us!”
Jo, face it, we won’t be “cleaning his ass out of the White House” any earlier than January 2011, at the earliest. Grit your teeth and settle in for the long fight. We’re going to be figthting a rearguard action against socialism at least until 2010.
Come to think of it, we’ve been fighting a rearguard action against socialism since 1933.
Thanks for sharing!
This video puts it all into prospective – by the way, did you notice the hardness in his face towards the end of the speech. Determination or signs of fighting words expression?
Love your Blog, Sister Toljah – you are one of my favorites!
My problem is if he wants to clean up the mess, and doesn’t want the help of those who created the “mess”, then why is he not working with the Republican party?? Hell for years Bush and others tried to get DC to do the right thing. It was mostly the Dems who said no. This man is such a liar. Never in the history of man could a man wear both his faces at the exact same time. I just don’t see how people don’t see thru him. – Lorica
If Obama wants to be judged by his legacy of bringing people together, then it is an abysmal failure.
Take a look at the political landscape, there are fights breaking out at Congressional townhalls, citizens have been asked to rat on other citizens at flag@whitehouse.gov.
Even Bush, at his worse, did better than this.
Has anyone noticed that the Dopey smile on Dumbo has been getting noticeably more strained of late? Maybe His Hollowness is discovering there’s just a tad bit more to this job than strongarming businesses into submission over the “evil du jour” that he was so proficient at in Chicago.
Maybe it’s time for him to sit down and read the job description. You know, the one that’s found in the Constitution of the United States. Yes, I know he “taught” it, but come on now, the way he’s been going about his job can you really believe he’s really read and studied it?
Fact: The Democratic Congress began work in January of 2007.
Fact: The recession officially started 6 months later.
Fact: The only federal budget surpluses in modern American history happened during a Republican Congress (1998-2001).
Democrats have the routine down perfectly from what I’ve witnessed and lived through in my 52 years:
1)Create a problem
2)Blame Republicans
3)Propose a new level of bureaucracy to “solve” problem
In 6 short months, this country has morphed into Venezuela where popular majority opinion is stifled by a minority group of thugs intent on depriving others of their hard fought liberties. Thanks to Nancy, Harry, and Barack.
These are the people who need to “shut up and get out of the way” – there’s a landslide heading right at them in 2010 and 2012. Enjoy !
DaveinPhoenix, public education being what it is (and has been for decades), teaching the gullible masses that it is Congress, not the Prez, who determines deficits and surpluses is either like spitting into the wind or an act of utter frustration. They are so used to hearing it is “the president’s budget” that they can’t conceive of it being Congress’ responsibility.
Maroons.
Dave in phoenix –
#1 should read –
create/manufacture a problem.
they are so good at those first two steps. Of course, when you have a willing media.
Is it just me, or does Nancy Pelosi just not seem the same since that house fell on her sister back in Kansas?
