Without Obama “you’re on your own”
At a fundraiser for millionaires in San francisco yesterday, President Obama warned potential donors that if he doesn’t win the election next year, the government will tell the people “you’re on your own” according to an ABC News link;
“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.”
Obama and Democrats have been emphasizing what they see as the costly consequences of the Republicans’ agenda in an effort to stir up support, in part by touching on emotional nerves.
If you get a flat tire, you’ll have to call AAA yourself. If your refrigerator stops running, you’ll have to find a repairman in the yellow pages. If the ATM machine eats your debit card, you’ll have to ask for a replacement on your own. If you step in mud, you’ll have to clean your shoes without any help from government. That’s not the America I believe in.

Now that is funny stuff, Jonn. That’s not the America I believe in either. Anyone know the number for the Department of Toilet Paper? I’m out.
No shit, Barruh–for 230 years before you showed up, Americans lived their day-to-day lives just fine without the “hep” of the nanny state. Matter of fact, we kinda LIKE living without you fuckers telling us how to live, where to live, what to drive, what to eat, etc., etc.
Too bad you’ll never get that.
Department of TP? Or is that the TPA?
“Oh, sorry–you’ve used greater than your four-sheet allotment for the month and you didn’t fill out a TPA-2934/X1.4c1/a Form. I’m afraid you’re just shit outta luck until next month.”

2-17CAV; i think the number is 1-800-STICKY CRACK
Department of Toilet Paper, Federal Bureau of Skidmarks…?
The America I believe in is the America I grew up in; the America i celebrated with as we put a man on the moon, developed the most advanced technologies, and discovered new ways to preserve life; the America I learned to love and be proud of because she protected me and gave me opportunities; the America that I served for thirty years until I was told I had to retire. Of course, Mr. Obama has no such memories and hence, no such love of this nation nor understanding of what truly makes her great.
How the people of this nation can elect such a person to lead this country is still a mystery to me.
If the jug-eared clown had been raised in the ’30s ’40s and ’50s like I was it’d probably blow his mind. I mean we actually had to shift gears in our cars and trucks ourselves! If we wanted to cool off in the summer we went to the local Woolworth’s store that had an honest to goodness air conditioner with the thermostat set on ball freezing cold! Or we dammed up a creek and made our own swimming pool. Bathing suits-optional.
“If you can’t afford college, you’re on your own.”
It’s almost as if the commander in chief has never heard of the GI Bill.
Not being able to afford college is kind of a pain. But it isn’t the taxpayer’s responsibility to send you there. Not just because you can’t afford it, at least.
But you might decide to go off and do something to EARN the money. That’s what really upsets liberals like Obama. “WHAT?! You think a young person should have to earn that money? No way! College tuition should be another hand out. Haven’t you ever heard of pennies from heaven?”
One of the reasons I joined the military was for the college money. Now, I probably could have gone to college without the GI Bill. It would have required me to take out more money in loans, but I could have done it. But instead of going into debt, I decided that I would go serve my country in the armed forces and earn that college money.
That idea is just so off-the-wall CRAZY for the average liberal because–get this–they don’t want to do that.
Not to be too much of a buzzkill, but the audience and location of Obama’s speech says a lot. These folks are dependent on a byzantine tax code navigated by a brigade of lawyers to protect their wealth. They depend on California’s ultra-draconian commercial development laws to mitigate the risk of in-state competition. Can’t be having Manuel the Gardner design and market a better widget now can they?
If government withdraws (dergulates, institutes Ordoliberalism), those California millionaires face risk, and their trust-fund babies risk having to get and keep a job on their own.
So let me get this straight. Without him and the gov’t I’ll be on my own without gov’t intrusion into my life at every turn like some nanny on steroids. Hey, sign me up, and could you put that in writing please.
That would be a campaign promise I could believe in.
This is all I’ve ever asked for and wanted. A Government that leaves me the freak alone.
2 (opposable-type) thumbs up for SGT Kane!
“Anyone know the number for the Department of Toilet Paper? I’m out.”
Why do you stock it yourself? Under Obama, it’s apparently the goverment’s responsibility to wipe your ass for you.
