“The one thing that we absolutely know for sure is that if we don’t work even harder than we did in 2008, then we’re going to have a government that tells the American people, ‘you are on your own,’” Obama told a crowd of 200 donors over lunch at the W Hotel.

“If you get sick, you’re on your own. If you can’t afford college, you’re on your own. If you don’t like that some corporation is polluting your air or the air that your child breathes, then you’re on your own,” he said. “That’s not the America I believe in. It’s not the America you believe in.”

:-k



Thought America was thought of fondly because of our rugged individualism?



:-k




Guess the American Dream has really been substituted with the American Gimmie?




:-k




Guess benefits and education are rights? If that's the case then he'd best get the illegals off the dole now!



I cannot believe that a sitting American President has the stones to even say those things. In public no less.

He is a piece of sh*t.

In all due respect to the position, of course.

Of course I respect the Office, but in my opinion he's the absolute worst we've seen since Jimmy Carter. He's even worse that Woodrow Wilson too!

I'm willing to bet that he goes down as the worst President ever.

Over time he could become worse than Bush but to date he is not. Some have proclaimed him so prior to his first day in office. Bush was epic in his failure. Barry can be just as epic but we need to givehim more time to achieve his true potential in suckiness.

Bush will certailny be a hard sh*tpile to top. Bush sucked donkey ****** big time (to steal a f*cknut Cheney phrase)

Bush=Jimmy carter or *gasp* maybe worse.

Bush is responsible for the worst terrorist attack ever on American soil (remember once prez there is no more of this but the past prez is responsible BS). After that attack he squandered world support and starded a couple wars (that Barry has not led us out of as he promised). He also led us into a recession (that Barry has not led us out of), and bailed out folks that should be in jail (barry completed the process and is equally responsible).

Bush sucks butt. Barry is catching but has not surpassed him. He may.

Yeah...the man that ushered in Hope & Change but continued the Bush Doctrine...the worst?


Sorry.


When you want to usher all that promise and fail to deliver because your can't and don't know how you automatically fall below the W. W gave us the "I can hear you and the whole world hears you" moment that this moron has yet to get. The Kenyan King would screw that up too...W didn't have a teleprompter on the rubble of the WTC!

If you get sick you're "on your own?"

Since...uh...when? Prehistory?

Typical leftist scare-mongering. I hope no one wonders why a bunch of yound-and-dumb, hygenically-challenged neo-hippies are protesting for more of this crap...

Id Amin Jr. and his Occupy Wall Street zombie drones are a perfect example of how easy it is for utter brainless morons to get an advanced college degree...and often how worthless they are these days.

I'd also like to point out that it was Idi Amin Jr. who, while campaigning, told some lady that he'd deny her mother heart surgery because she was too old.

But at least she wasn't "on her own."

Yup. You can of course prove your assertion, but you can't.

Here, I'll even give you the video clip.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=U-dQfb8WQvo

In this video clip he was talking about health care overall and not specifically about this woman's mother when he was discussing unneccessary procedures and/or surgery when other methods might be suffice. A non-controversial topic that has been discussed for decades and something insurance companies are doing all the time to save money, and not in a responsible way that benefits the patient either, which is what Obama was talking about.
