Imagine if any other president, of either party, had ever said something like the following:
I think that the effort to suggest that the poor are sponges, leeches, don’t want to work, are lazy, are undeserving, got traction.
Despite your welfare state deliberately promoting precisely that corrupt mentality.
And look, it’s still being propagated. I have to say that if you watch Fox News....
<sigh>
....on a regular basis, it is a constant venue. They will find folks who make me mad.
A capital offense these days.
I don’t know where they find them.
They're not hard to find, Barry. Or didn't you pay attention to the rapturous, swooning crowds that used to follow you wherever you went? Nowadays they're rioting their way through one major American city after another, again at your instigation.
They’re all like, “I don’t want to work. I just want a free Obama Phone, or whatever.”
The greatest orator of our age, ladies and gentlemen. Seriously, didn't Winston Churchill used to sound like a Valley Girl, too?
And that becomes an entire narrative that gets worked up. And very rarely do you hear an interview of a waitress, which is much more typical — who is raising a couple of kids and doing everything right but still can’t pay the bills.
Did that waitress get knocked up out of wedlock, depriving herself of better career opportunities? How many abortions has she had? Is her name Julia? Or Penny? If the latter, I think she's doing pretty well for herself.
And so, if we’re going to change how [House Speaker] John Boehner (R-OH8) and [Senate Majority Leader] Mitch McConnell (R-KY) think....
....far less of a stretch than you're depicting here....
....we’re going to have to change how our body politic thinks....
....far less of a stretch than you're depicting here....
....which means we’re going to have to change how the media reports on these issues....
i.e. "We're going to have to change how Fox News reports on these issues," because aside from Fox, that's far less of a stretch than you're depicting here.
....and how people’s impressions of what it’s like to struggle in this economy....
....that Obamanomics has permanently ruined....
....looks like. And how budgets connect to that....
Which is why we have to do away with them. And that's actually a nod toward honest-to-goodness transparency on O's part, since budgeting as it used to be understood - prioritizing spending within the confines of existing revenue and the United States Constitution - hasn't been done in decades, so why bother keeping up the hilariously phony pretense?
And that’s a hard process because that requires a much broader conversation than typically we have on the nightly news.
Which doesn't allow any conversation that doesn't idolatrously dance around your policy golden calves. In short, The One has become one of his own strawmen, near as I can reckon. Either that, or he's grown so solipsistically paranoid that he's finally gone off his nut, as all dictators eventually do.
But never mind the fact that this perfumed prince has never experienced the poverty he's inflicted on tens of millions of Americans in his entire, misbegotten, over-privileged life, or that he even had a homosexual transvestite nanny as a child (which explains a great many things). Rewind to the emphasized passage above: "We’re going to have to change how the media reports on these issues". Who's "we"? How would "we" go about dictating to what is supposed to be a free and independent (stop laughing) press how it is going to report "these issues" in a Regime-approved fashion? Inquiring minds want to know, you infernal majesty.
No joke, could anybody but Barack Obama get away with uttering such a tyrannical phrase from the presidential "bully" pulpit? And why the hell should he be allowed to be that exception?
Makes this clip all the more delectably ironic, no?
