Obama to 80% of Americans: You’re Extreme, Inciting Violence and You Hate Yourselves
by Greg Knapp
President Obama gave a commencement speech at the University of Michigan over the weekend and instead of encouraging and challenging the graduates to be the next Bill Gates or Carly Fiorina, he gave a self serving, political speech chastising Americans who disagree with his ideas and policies that are leading us to even bigger government. The recent Pew poll that showed 4 out of 5 Americans don’t trust the federal government didn’t cool his rhetoric a bit. From the transcript:
But what troubles me is when I hear people say that all of government is inherently bad…
Straw man alert! The One loves to do this. Set up an argument no one makes and then knock it down. No one in this debate is saying ALL government is bad. We are calling for the government to actually live up to the limits set for it by our constitution. The problem is Barry thinks the more government, the better.
When our government is spoken of as some menacing, threatening foreign entity, it ignores the fact that in our democracy, government is us. We, the people–[Applause.] We, the people, hold in our hands the power to choose our leaders and change our laws, and shape our own destiny.
See, you’re so dumb that you don’t understand your anger at government is really self hate. Oy.
Does he really not understand this? We know the government is supposed to be us, that’s why we’re so upset. We see our government as not representing us anymore. We are frustrated because we feel we’re losing the power to shape our destiny. (Funny how when Obama, Reid, Pelosi, Cindy Sheehan and Code Pink we’re screaming about our horrible government under Bush, they weren’t confused about the government being them.)
The truth is, the debate we’ve had for decades now between more government and less government, it doesn’t really fit the times in which we live. We know that too much government can stifle competition and deprive us of choice and burden us with debt. But we’ve also clearly seen the dangers of too little government–like when a lack of accountability on Wall Street nearly leads to the collapse of our entire economy.
But let’s not talk about government’s role in creating the atmosphere that helped create the crisis. It had nothing to do with the Fed’s easy money policy or the Community Reinvestment Act forcing loans to people who couldn’t afford them or Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac.
Then Obama went into full hypocrite mode:
But we can’t expect to solve our problems if all we do is tear each other down. [Applause.] You can disagree with a certain policy without demonizing the person who espouses it. You can question somebody’s views and their judgment without questioning their motives or their patriotism. [Applause.] Throwing around phrases like “socialists” and “Soviet-style takeover” and “fascist” and “right-wing nut”–[laughter]–that may grab headlines, but it also has the effect of comparing our government, our political opponents, to authoritarian, even murderous regimes.
This from the man who personally attacked Sen. Minority Leader Mitch McConnell during his presidential radio address, and insulted all Arizona police by stating they might racially profile American Hispanics and harass them. This from the man whose Sen. Majority Leader, Harry Reid, recently called the Republican senators “anti-American.” This from the man whose fellow senator from Illinois compared our military, and their treatment of prisoners in Gitmo to the Nazi’s, Pol Pot and Soviet style gulags. Pot, meet kettle. Whoops, I’m sure that’s a “racist” analogy now.
It coarsens our culture, and at its worst, it can send signals to the most extreme elements of our society that perhaps violence is a justifiable response…
Dissent is no longer the “highest form of patriotism” now that Obama is president. Now it leads to domestic terrorism. So, saying “Bush lied, people died,” that he “betrayed this country” and “played on our fears” is fine. Creating a movie that shows the assassination of President Bush is art, but complaining that Obama is leading us to socialism will create the next Timothy McVeigh. Got it.
The community organizer is trying to paint anyone who questions his policies as an extremist. He’s in tune with the MSNBC crowd who claim the only reason you could oppose him is if you are dumb, crazy or racist. But it won’t work this time. Americans know when it’s time to pull out the hip waders – and you need to every time this guy gives a speech. He is what he’s warning about. He is extreme. He seems obsessed with race. He personally attacks his opponents in very un-presidential ways.
The game Obama’s playing won’t work this time. Too many Americans know he’s lying, because they are the ones he’s lying about.
Don’t miss Obama’s lies about the anti-illegal alien bill in AZ and how Big Sis Napolitano is upset you don’t think the border’s secure.

F**k the Communist mulatto in the White House.
This guy's a PUNK.
Remember in November.
DTOM! http://RightWingStuff.com
I miss Reagan!
Odumblo really is a third worlder in his thought processing. The reason why third world people have so much problem installing a government that has faith in them. That is of course instead of seeing the masses as a means to wealth.
Frankly in mho I think Odumblo is a criminal, he has set out intentionally to fragment the population and increase the numbers who need assistance and not to open doors allowing people to help themselves.
By creating an army of needy he somehow hopes to ensure enough votes exist to keep him king.
It is time for him to resign his office we don't have time to evict him. That is going to happen, but.
If he doesn't understand anger and frustration, send him down here to me. Lock us in a room, he will soon get a better understanding of anger and frustration to take back to DC.
80% of Americans don't trust the federal government now, and that number is probably going to rise.
"The game Obama’s playing won’t work this time. Too many Americans know he’s lying, because they are the ones he’s lying about."
Exactly. And he is going to feel the repercussions of his lies in November of 2010 and 2012
1-20-13 cannot get here quickly enough.
Are the Republicans doing anything to fight back? Unfortunately the answer is: very little. Every time Barry "calls out" anyone–we need to push back, hard and smart.
IMAO the Republicans have been showing up with a banana to a gunfight for a long time now. They need to fight back hard in the press, take down democrat shills like mathews and olberman and stewart–call them democrat shills to their faces and use Names like Ayers, Wright, and Rezko in every appearance.
Exactly. He can only keep projecting if he has enough support and that support is dwindling with each passing day.
Always lecturing and wagging his finger. Like this clown has experience in doing anything except flapping his mouth.
God help us, but I'm starting to know how the Bush haters felt during W's 8 years. Only difference is they were batshit crazy.
You might like this…we had it before the billboard.

It is time that we start framing the debates and issue in the proper terms. First framing is that our country was founded as a Republic, just look at the pledge of allegiance and the Constitution.
His smarmy lecturing and condescencion has worn a little thin. I hope Boehner is right and the Republicans do
pick up 100 seats because I'll lead the charge to force the newly elected Republican Congress to IMPEACH this racist sissy and put him in jail like he belongs.
Three with their hands over their hearts and our dear leader with his hands over his……
Obama is playing this game over and over. He incites people with his divisiveness. When the President of the U.S. get on the podium and criticizes two thirds of the American public as extreme etc, he is inciting people. Probably that is what he hopes for. Ironically, what political violence that has happened this past year has come from the left.

It's just another page from the Alinsky play book. This rhetoric is so predictable, it's almost stereotypically comical.
More and more Americans are seeing the blatant untruths being spoken by the administration. There will always be a base of Marxists who will defend these tactics as a means to an end. The problem for progressives is that they always have to hide the true ends they seek from the people. It's hard to do on a large scale.
Leave race out of it. Don't give the leftists an opportunity to paint the rest of us as racist.
The case can be made that we get the very Government we deserve. This is not with standing the damage done by the Lame Stream Media who is the void of facts and research acting ONLY as an Arm of the DNC. The Media put Obama and the Democrats in power just as they were able to place McCain, Bush and Dole as the GOP nominees over Conservatives such as Steve Forbes, Duncan Hunter and Tom Tancrado.
Obama is not "we or us". Obama and his party Governs with separate sets of Laws. As Tax Paying Middle Class Americans are told to wait down at window 27 for our rights. Our arguably Marxist Government of Tyrants uses a separate set of Laws for the Rich, Famous, Politicians, Illegal Alien and Unions.
Just because the Tea Party is the void of a plan B and the Republicans can not make a valid argument to win the hearts and minds of the American People does not mean that Obama and his Tyrant pals in the Democrat party are us the American people. They are anything but.
Some photo, a racist negro, an illegal alien and 2 dikes.
I wish I had known what this country would become when I enlisted in the Army to ship out to Vietnam
in business this is called a 'bad brand'…
And when that occurs what happens? People stop buying it. Such is the case with Obama; he peaked late last summer and in the fall his negatives started outweighing whatever positives he brought to the table. They haven't stopped declining since.
And he and his crew are aware of it. So, the demonization of his opponents, and the rallying of his base- much like his soul mates Hugo Cahvez, or Evo Morales- is taking place. The thought is that you blame your enemies for everything that is bad, claim all that which is good, and throw plenty of (our tax) money around in late summer early fall to keep up the union support. Hope for a 'really good' crisis.
That's governance- Obama style…
Chill out on the insults, we are better than that.
I miss a SANE government!
HonestAmerican said it best!!
Batshit crazy, completely uninformed, ignorant and childish, narrow minded, utterly Anti-American in every sense of the word -
The crotch-saluter should set his alarm clock: tick tock, tick tock…..Nov will be here before he knows what hit him in that crotch. Time for us to write all the sissy Republicans and tell them to get on board or get the hell out of the way. That picture above makes my blood boil and karma will be a bitch.
We want nothing more than economic freedom, and less government and nothing more than the American Dream. It is not rocket science. We see the path this administration want's to be headed down, and we are saying loud and clear " HELL NO, WE WON'T GO".
http://www.nationalreview.com/kudlows-money-polit...
This is the best path for true independence, and freedom.
God Bless America
Since their boycott includes Arizona Ice Tea (from New York yet!) I decided to boycott Mexican Restaurants anywhere in the US. Now I know that's dumb as the illegal aliens and the rest of the idiots. I want them to know this stupid boycott crap works both ways. Anyone care to join me in this?
Don't feed the left-wing troll posting as 'HonestAmerican'
It always has come from the left and it always will – it's their tried and true method to 'get attention' which is what kids have done throughout the history of mankind –
So barry has an issue with socialist being thrown around?! ha ha ha – yea, ok, cuz NOBODY knows what's really going on right?!
I agree Dods, it is soooooo predictable and seriously, comical in a sick kind of way – soon, if not already, we will be the laughing stock of the world!
Indeed. Democracy is for idiots who don't understand the term.
That pretty much tells the whole story right there, doesn't it?
The government is us — until health care is passed without our consent by cheating, and uses force/coercion like snitch sites run out of the White House to intimidate average Americans.
Let's not forget that Obama's chief regulatory adviser, Cass Sunstein, strongly advocates the government infiltrating opposition groups like the Tea Party to disrupt them, and also believes in using behavior modification techniques by the government upon a free society to shape opinions of individuals favorable to the government.
So tell me again, Obamoa, why should we not trust the government?
.
OK, let me say it another way….to hell with the Communist mulatto in the White House.
Is that better?
Obama is a disgrae to all Americans……He should go back to Kenya!!!
not to be insulting, but the term you are looking for is "devoid" …not "the void".
Boycott is a good idea Bev. Go to your grocery store and look at all the produce that is shipped from Mexico: watemelons, strawberries, asparagus etc etc. Do not buy anything shipped from that country. Money is where it will hurt them especially since Prez Calderon ranted about how rascist AZ law is. Everyone here is connected to other sites. Just spread the word and it will have a ripple effect.
Bad branding, indeed. They are the Soylent Green of political products!
You cram your Socilaist agenda on us despite the fact we obviously dont want it, then complain about threats of violence in the air, Commie Thug…
I miss W too, at least he would look you in the eye and tell you where he stood.
The media bent over backward to make Bush look the fool after Katrina and now bend over forward with their legs spread to protect Obama from the Gulf Oil crisis.
This was right after he told 80% of America that it was adopted and din't have any friends.
considering they are out of Soylent Yellow, Soylent Green will have to suffice…
Good post…
He under estimates the American mind and soul…..
Geez, if 80% of the American people are on your side rather than Obama's, it is amazing that your side lost the last Presidential election so badly.
Ultimately it's always do as I say not as I do with liberals. This is why those liberals in Washington prefer communism and socialism. They expect after all is said and done they will be the ones at the top of the dog pile dictating morality and ethics to the rest of the world as they schedule their next banquet at the expense of the tax payers.
For a group that seems to be so in our face they sure seem to like their back room deals.
The Kool Aid is flowing heavily in DC. They just don't get that conservatives aren't stupid. Proof is everywhere but like so many angry Keith Olbermans they are blinded by their own name calling, hatred spewing, elitist, lack of talking points rhetoric, even as approval numbers and ratings continue to plummet. When you don't have any idea how to argue a point, or no points to argue, spew hatred. Is this really all they've learned? November can't come soon enough.
It makes no difference what color he is or isn't it's his policies and agenda that are the problem – and would be just as much a problem whether he was white, red, brown, or purple.
Race has not one damned thing to do with it
The picture says it all, nothing more needed to be said. His daddy was a moooslim and a communist. His mentor was a communist. His preacher is a nut-job communist.
Any questions?
many were decieved into believing he was the "one". Now, they understand that they were indeed duped. When you are sitting in your corner, licking your nuts, wondering how the "Plan" could have fallen apart so quickly, remember that you have been outed and will never again fool the American populus with your schemes and lies.
Looking4Sanity? Go see Immigration Gum Balls on you tube. Tell the Tea Party to blast it out there and let us know when they have a plan B.
There were many legit reasons to dislike Bush. The only reason he looks so good right now is because Obama really IS THAT BAD. I had my problems with Bush, but at least I never doubted that he was HONESTLY trying to do what was best for America. No such reassurance with BHO
It is not duping the American people to run for office, say you are going to pass health care reform, and then do so.
Hey…Forbes, Hunter and Tancrado aren't as conservative or as liberty protecting as Ron Paul – how come no mention of him? Please don't respond because Ron Paul is an "isolationist"…that would wreak of "neocon" = the new party of problems.
Obama did not win the election. The News Media won the election. Imagine the debate that would take place over the question who has done more damage to the USA in the last 80 years. The Marxist leaning Democrats or the Leftwingnut Media who put them in power?
In photography, that pose is known as the 'fig leaf' and it's to be avoided because it obviously draws attention to that area. I thought he did this pose intentionally as well the first time I saw this picture. He knew exactly what he was doing. Pretty despicable.
So does Monica and about 100 other women, except Hillary.
The ONLY way this Government will be over thrown would be to starve the Beast of Dollars. I know the Tea Party does not want a plan B, I have tried severals times to give them mine. Create an escrow account that can not be touched by the USA Gov. to hold Tax Payers Tax Dollars until the Tax Payer should choose to release them (at the point the Federal Gov. returns to Governing with in the mandates of the Constitution). Business agrees to stop acting as Agents of the IRS and pays employees their entire earnings as the employee (as an Individual) pays their own Taxes.
Marxist Bent Democrats fold in 18 months or sooner.
I agree. I never doubted that Bush at least had the best interest of the country at heart. This current crop of leftists in the White House are dismantling the very system that coddled and gave them the power they so recklessly wield today. A day of reckoning is quickly approaching.
This "Dishonest American" is baiting. He's just a lefty troll trying to make this site look bad and get a reaction out of you.
Voice of Treason,… The many lies outweigh the few and far between truths told by the Marxist in Chief during his campaign. He also said it wouldn't be mandatory to sign on. Now look.
Shame on them for reporting news. The Republicans would have been just fine in 2008 if people didn't hear any news.
I miss Bush.
BS: the definition of mulatto is: Mulatto denotes a person with one white parent and one black parent.
Is that not what Obama is even though he lied about it on his own Cenus report?
And it you can't see his socialist/Marxist/Communist agenda, then you're in the wrong place.
Nothing racist about what I've stated at all.
Its called truth.
It was the news they did NOT report that shifted opinion. In fact, it was the Leftists who did fine because people didn't hear any news about The One.
If this speech and Obama are examples of what loving himself are…. call me extremist…
I've been saying this for years! The only people standing in the way of a Republican landslide are Republicans! I pray for the day we have a viable third party but until that day comes we have to vote Republican. We need to encourage conservative candidates to run against the RINO's. First we must remove as many Dems as we can from public office and then we need to remove the RINO's. Only then will true change occur. With folks like Graham and McCain who needs Dems?
they- the left- always does. It is there one recurring weakness. They believe their own BS, and as such are in denial of the truth.
It bites 'em every time…
Stick with the Socialist/Marxist /Communist Agenda you're on more solid ground. Leave Race and the race baiting to them .That's a truth too.Wise-Up.
We fear the government because it does not respect the Founders' ideals and because it is attempting to substitute a Cult of Personality (Obama and the Dem Party) for the Rule of Law. That is, it is attempting to morph itself into an oligarchy ruled by one party in perpetuity and in defiance of the Rule of Law.
In addition, 99% of the "government" is a unelected bureaucracy, yet it has power to write and administer laws against us – the FDA, the EPA, and now HHS under the guise of the Medical System Takeover law passed this year. In fact, some of the agencies of the federal government HAVE THEIR OWN COURTS where your constitutional rights do not exist (the FTC and the IRS have their own court systems where you are required to prove you are innocent!). We are well on our way to either a fascist or socialist country with a permanent ruling class.
Wake up America!!
It's the same game he's been playing since leaving COMMIE U, and proof positive that "Those who can't do, teach" I'm tired of being spoken about or to like I'm a racist/idiot/wack job because I disagree with THE CHOSEN ONE's policies.
It does make you miss W a bit! I disagreed with a lot of what he did but was sure that his intentions were honorable. THE CHOSEN ONE's intentions are a nightmare coming true!
Race baiting? Who are you kidding?
Obama is a mulatto. End of the story.
Check a dictionary.
Now if you care to explain why he lied on his Census, feel free.
Yes. I understand that. It is the main reason I can muster any compassion for them at all. I still find them difficult to tolerate though.
Reagan would be raising taxes. Just like he actually did back then too. That change your tune at all?
Yes, thats what you need to do. LOL More of the same, just louder and harder. It has worked so well so far.
Yep. Nobody says "This comment has been deleted by the administrator" like HonestAmerican.
Yes he did. He also made pro-America, pro-free trade policies, increased employment… eh, what do you care…
That might be the most intelligent conversation I've ever seen on this site!
NObama's though process: How did the American people get this far without ME?
Actually, it's amazing the Republicans didn't lose worse than they did, considering that they ran a Democrat on their ticket.
I know it! I can't believe he won't put his hand over his heart! Where is his lapel pin and bumper sticker too!? Red commie subverter.
80% of Americans . . . , now how many votes does that translate into? The president should be cautious of what he says, it has and will come back to get him. History and rhetoric do have a tendency to collide.
Obama nailed it!
Knapp builds a strawman to attack a purported strawman… I love it. The strawmen are coming!
Disagree all you want. The proper form of disagreeing with the government is a) free speech and b) the electoral process.
If you go beyond that, and keep waving your guns in my face, well then, that's more than being anti-government. That crosses the line over to: anti-democratic and anti-American.
That is because we did not use fraud, sticks, guns in front of the voting booths nor voting multi times, dead voting, millions of illegals voting, using the black panthers, nor did we do as the negro and mexicans do, vote solely by color.
Add the hundreds of millions of money obama got from the drug pusher buddies, it was not an election, it was a bloodless take over.
What is good for one is good for the other and we plan to take this country back using your tactics .
As to badly, clearly your bad math is showing, he won with LESS then 50 million out of 325 million people, you subtract just all the racist blacks that voted for him and you get count of ZERO.
Isn't it cute how little libbies think they're actually "smart"?
Wait till this November, you will be screaming EXTREME then!
Did y'all see this?
http://www.snopes.com/politics/soapbox/pravda.asp
The only place race is a case is on the left. We here do not give a sh!t what race Obama falls in, it is his actions and policies we disagree with. Bringing race into the picture whether it is technically correct or not only muddies the water.
So nice having a president who thinks I am a stupid, violence prone, hate-mongering capitalist who listens to Rush and watched Beck and who profited unfairly for teaching 30 years and acquiring enough wealth to buy a house I could afford and save enough money so that I am not dependent on government. How dare I do that when there are people who don't want to work that need my money more? He tells me I need to go read the editorials on the Huffington Post because he wants me to be converted – I guess to a love for filth, socialism, and contempt for my fellow Americans like that he has for all but his fellow liberals.
twit troll
I like Reagan, he was a great President. I can overlook his puritan social views and misplaced belief in free trade and trickle down economics. Because he learned from his mistakes and made corrections even when it opposed the ideology.
Does this empty suit ever wear a suit? Never mind the disrespect he holds for our flag but for gods sake this is a graduation ceremony, these kids are going job hunting soon in a very unhealthy economy, no thanks to Obama, what message is he sending if even he won't dignify the HIGHEST OFFICE in the land by wearing a suit at ceremonies. With this guy it seems like Casual Friday goes through Thursday.
with ya on that one baal,………
we do need a few street fighters out there.
Don't trust the government?
Fine, let's have a smaller government then.
Let's start with cutting medicare, social security, and defense spending.
Of course, no "conservative" will ever do that, because he'll be thrown out of his/her office the next day.
Literally.
What?
synapses not firing in the ol gray matter today?
Who are you talking to? TEA Partiers are not waving guns or threatening violence!
We get the government that the Democrat party is able to buy with bribes and accomplish with threats. We get the government that is voted for by a segment of the country who dislikes their own country and another segment that feels they are owed lots of free stuff because they have been taught to milk the past for all they get from it and to disdain education and worthy goals that may take work and sacrifice. These groups are enough to make the difference in an election when those who don't agree with them split their votes or don't vote at all.
POTUS knows
He is just trying to fundamentally reshape to fit his views
In all debates and posts that we make I think it is very important to focus on the agenda or issue that we disagree with in lieu of any personal attacks on the President, or even Nancy and Harry. I disagree with practically everything that their agenda represents, but I do not hate President Obama, or anyone in Washington that has been elected, although I do strongly dislike Arlen Spector. Yes I'm from PA.
The left are constantly looking for an excuse to point the finger, and yes, what was so acceptable in attacking President Bush, is now unacceptable for President Obama. But if we treat those who oppose our views with class, honesty, facts, and respect, it will be like hot coals on their heads.
I was taught in Civics class years ago in High School that only President Obama or Mr. President were the proper ways to address the acting and former Presidents of these United States of America. Let's keep the class of our debates and posts at a level that is above those who would be our critics. Research before passing on anything that you read from unconfirmed sources. The greatest thing that we have on our side is the truth and the Constitution.
This post is not in response to any posts on this particular article. It was just something on my mind today as I read many responses to different articles.
He'll always be El Commandante Baruch Hasbro Fartbama in our hearts.

Unfortunately, when a Republican criticizes or refutes anything the Obamasiah says, the media ignores it, unless they can try to make it a racist or violent extreme comment with their editing.
educate yourself with the "mainstream" point of view:

Is your biggest fear that hobos will steal the pies you left to cool on your window sill?
That roving bands of gypsies will steal your children?
