Obama on the economy: "Fine. Give it to me."

[liberalpragmatist]

From his speech today in Michigan, an ad-libbed riff:

I love those folks who helped get us in this mess, and suddenly they say, "This is Obama's economy." That's fine. Give it to me. My job is to solve problems, not stand on the sidelines and carp and gripe.

Link.

1. Damn, that's confidence and leadership.

[redqueen]

[Cha]

3. That's right..tell 'em like it is, President Obama

B-)

[Arugula Latte]

[MarjorieG]

4. Love his spirit and necessary confidence, but how many attack ads with just "this is O's economy"?

[Phx_Dem]

5. Bring it on bitches!

:applause:

[Cant trust em]

6. That's my man. nt

[Political Heretic]

7. As far as R-D banter goes, that's a great line

The "this is Obama's economy" line is such complete garbage. And when it comes to people on our side of the isle, when we have disagreements about the approaches to dealing with the economic mess that's not the same as Blaming this administration FOR the economic mess created by the last administration.... but also by the last multiple administrations and about thirty years of bad economic policy.

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

24. I hear so-called liberal pundits make the same assertion, that this is "Obama's economy" now

It's infuriating. Why liberals/Democrats continue to co-opt right-wing garbage angers me so much!! :puke::puke:

[JuniperLea]

8. I love how he calls them out...

[PopSixSquish]

12. I Think Someone Has Had Just About Enough of This Shit

and is about to start cracking heads.

BOYAH, NOTHIN BUT NET!

[ellisonz]

13. Attaboy!

[Jennicut]

15. He sure is coming out swinging since he came home.

[uponit7771]

16. The speech about Community Colleges is inspiring....this is a one in a life time dude

[incapsulated]

18. OH SNAP!!! nt

[tblue37]

[HughMoran]

20. WTF? A politician taking responsibility for the PREVIOUS administrations fuck-ups?

Now THAT's leadership - Bush never took responsibility for anything.

[goclark]

21. Snap snap

GW got us into all of this mess and his little Elves helped him.

Go Obama!

[mod mom]

22. the past 28 years of fuck-up under presidents who supported de-regulation to benefit

the corporations! rec'd

[solstice]

23. Yeah, if you're a bank, Obama will help you out. The rest of us, not so much.

[dolphindance]

28. Yeah, lets just let the banking system fail. That will do America SOO Much good. (n/t)

[Dawgs]

29. Helping the banks IS helping YOU out.

It's sad that so many STILL can't see this simple fact.

[SunsetDreams]

Man, one of these days I'm going to learn how to reply to the appropriate missive.

[SidneyCarton]

31. And that is why I voted for him.

[road2000]

32. There are days I'm frustrated,

and days I want to cheer. This is one of the latter.

[DrZeeLit]

33. This is why I am PROUD of my vote for President Obama. What a refreshing change, right? Work ethic

As opposed to cutting brush and taking vacations and sneering and mangling the language
Not to mention all the other trashing that went on in the last 8 years.

Here he is, merely six months into the job, knowing full well the collapse is not on his watch, taking on the burden.

And what? They're going to run Sarah the Quitter against him?
Oh, I think not.

[Tab]

34. Fine.

That's President.

Suck on that, GOP.

Apparently some BLACK PERSON with a MIDDLE NAME OF HUSSEIN spent time learnin' in school and particularly the part of "The Buck Stops Here" by Harry Truman.

After 8 years of young voters watching this administration, you better have something darn impressive up your wrinkled elephant skin nose.
