President Divisive

Yesterday's class warfare economic press conference was a new low point for Obama.  Mr. Unity has become President Divisive, seeking to pit one group of Americans against another based on false charges and demagoguery.  The Morning Jolt email has a couple of reactions:

The Lonely Conservative is left shaking his head:

What we're witnessing is a desperate man. He sees the polls, and his fundraising failures, so he's pulling out all the stops.

Oh, and he also forgot to mention that the Porkulus bill he signed that was passed by his party included tax breaks to promote private jet sales. If he wanted the private jet industry to go out of business why did he throw away millions of dollars on it?

At Red State, Repair Man Jack has had enough:

If the majority of Americans really and truly believe that cutting the size of government, when struggling under $14Tr of national debt, equates to a desire to snuff puppies, we deserve a national default. If the majority of Americans truly believe they have a right to extract a loan for their tuition costs out of some other person's paycheck, America is massively overdue for a well-deserved 2nd Great Depression. If the majority of people really believe the National Weather Service won't just hire replacements from Korea or China; where students go to class at college sober, they are in for a grievous upset and disappointment.

Barack Obama's rhetoric on this issue is toxic, disingenuous and deliberately divisive. He actually seems to want Americans to hate one another just a wee tad more. If the choice he presented us with were actually honest and accurate, my decision would still be easy. "J-E-T-S, Jets! Jets! Jets!"

My fear is that too many of the GOP congressional members will be panicked by all of this and will make a bad deal on the debt ceiling. NO NEW TAXES, PERIOD! Make the government live within its means by cutting stupid programs that infest the budget. Don't tie the hands of America's future generations with more debt.

Don't forget, GOP, this president wants to win in 2012 so he's just as worried, if not more so, than you are. Hold tough.
