Some of The Remarks flying around.
Can't believe President Obama said this?
Yes We Can!
"Just as our economy is really starting to recover and we’re starting to see optimistic signs, and we’ve seen actually some upside statistics from a whole range of areas including housing, now is not the time for more self-inflicted wounds — certainly not those coming from Washington. And there’s so much more work to be done in this country — on jobs and on incomes, education and energy. We’re a week away from one of the worst tragedies in memory, so we’ve got work to do on gun safety, a host of other issues. These are all challenges that we can meet. They’re all challenges that we have to meet if we want our kids to grow up in an America that’s full of opportunity and possibility, as much opportunity and possibility as the America that our parents and our grandparents left for us.
But we’re only going to be able to do it together. We’re going to have to find some common ground. And the challenge that we’ve got right now is that the American people are a lot more sensible and a lot more thoughtful and much more willing to compromise, and give, and sacrifice, and act responsibly than their elected representatives are. And that’s a problem."
He really referred to gun safety?
He really said that the American People are much more Willing to Compromise, and Give, and Sacrifice?
Gun Safety? Really? I thought they were making a stink about Gun Control!
These are conflicting signals from these who would try and tell us that they Support the Constitution. And they are going to try and tell us that we have to Compromise, and Give, and Sacrifice!
If the Rich are the 2 percent, and that amount will not fund the Government but for a couple of Months, and the takers are the 47 percent (Which Romney let the Cat out of the Bag), then the 'Real Money' (Revenue) is controlled by the 'Middle Class', about 50 percent, which is the Real Target-yea, they are putting a Bulls-eye on the Middle Class, but telling the uneducated/uninformed that they are taking from the Rich - fuuweee!
The most powerful weapon known to mankind is the 'Power of Suggestion', and golly-Olly, are they trying to use it ON US!
It serves always to distract the public councils and feeble the public administration. It agitates the community with ill founded jealousies and false alarms, kindles the animosity of one part against another, foments occasionally riot and insurrection. It opens the door to foreign influence and corruption, which find a facilitated access to the government itself through the channels of party passions.
It is important, likewise, that the habits of thinking in a free country should inspire caution in those entrusted with its administration to confine themselves with in their respective constitutional spheres, avoiding in the exercise of the powers of one department to encroach upon another. The spirit of encroachment tends to consolidate the powers of all departments in one and thus to create, whatever the form of government, a real despotism.
If in the opinion of the people the distribution or modification of the constitutional powers be in any particular wrong, let it be corrected by an amendment in the way which the Constitution designates. But let there be no change by usurpation; for though this, in one instance, may be the instrument of good, it is the customary weapon by which free governments are destroyed."
…George Washington’s Farewell Address…
