When President Obama finished his remarks in the Rose Garden yesterday morning, I wanted to cheer out loud.
Because he was on fire. He was passionate. He pounded the podium. He raised his voice. And he expressed righteous anger over the fact that Republicans were playing politics with unemployment benefits.
At last, this was the Obama we were yearning for. This was the Obama we wanted to see – and we need to see more of.
No more nice guy. In so many words, President Obama accused Republicans of being hypocrites.
President Obama explained: They say they can’t vote to spend money on anything without cutting something else. And yet they voted for the war in Iraq, Medicare Part D, and George Bush’s tax cuts for the wealthy – and just piled them on the deficit.
And the president pointed out: They say they can’t vote for an extension of unemployment benefits unless they’re paid for. Even though, under George W. Bush, these same Republican Senators voted – four times! – to extend unemployment benefits as an emergency measure.
In the mid-term elections, President Obama made clear, Americans have a choice: between the party that stands for working, middle-class Americans – and the party that stands for the rich elite.
And there are more of us – than there are of them!
That’s my parting shot for today.

First I am one of these people who like to give people the benefit of the doubt, so with that I wanted to give the network TV news stations such as CBS,ABC,NBC,CNN, and Fox news, along with the radio stations such as Left, The Patriot, ect. I again gave each station 1 week of my time, and I listen with an open mind. And I have to say that after my research I see why Fox news is the number one station. They give more of the whole truth, Foxs gives all sides an opertunity to share their sides. And they don’t hide stores. The other are all run by the government. If you want truth about things going on in the world you sure aren’t getting it from CBS, NBC, ABC. CNN was better, but still don’t match up to Fox. I was listening to your show this morning, and I heard you say that Fox news is saying that Obama is racist. YOU ARE WRONG AND DECEIVE YOUR LISTENERS. Not one time did I hear anyone accuse Obama himself of being racist, however Eric Holder that joke, yes he is very racist. What I have gotten out of Fox news and the Patriot is not trying to accuse anyone of being racist, but pointing out that if the NAACP is going to accuse others of being racist, they need to look at their own back door and do some cleaning up in their own house. Racism is not just a white aganist black issue, racism is racism and is wrong no matter what color of your skin is, and that is what I see Fox news pointing out. And if you think for one moment that if a white person would have spoken the same thing as the black women did, and not be fired for it you would be deceiving yourself. I work in the government, and I see it everyday, and I see more racism against whites than the other way around. Look around you, if there was an all white beauty pagent, oh dear God there would be an outrage, and an all white college.. don’t even go there. AGAIN THE POINT IS THAT RACSIM IS WRONG…….PERIOD!! And again what I see and hear what Fox news is getting out to the people is that the black panthers, the NAACP and other need to be held accountable for the racism they harbor just as much as any other group. STOP BEING HYPOCRITICAL!!!
And Obama needs to stop talking, very thing that comes out his mouth is two faced, double talk, and hey is such a hypocrate if there ever was one. And God for bid he accually takes responsiablity for his poor, and I mean very poor leadership. He is the worse thing that has ever happened to this country, and IS A DISGRACE TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE AND TO THE BLACK COMMUNITY.
Don’t worry I think he is doing a wonderful job……….at destroying this country. Carter take a step back, you no longer hold the record for the worst president, Obama holds that title.
