I was listening to Keri Miller’s “Midmorning” show on MPR last Friday. In the second hour, she was interviewing some sixties’ folk-scene retread (the program archive seems to have left the hour blank).
Miller asked – with a face that sounded straight (I’m paraphrasing very closely): “Now that Obama has been elected president, do you think American people are ready for the sacrifices he asked of them?”
I almost swerved into an oncoming car.
“WHAT SACRIFICES did he “ask” of the American people?” I yelled at the radio, not quite remembering that I didn’t have a mike in front of me. “When did Obama talk about sacrifice? He couldn’t even articulate the sacrifices he was going to “ask” the American people in the debates, for crying out loud? Five’ll getcha ten the typical Obama voter is thinking “Yippee! My mortgage and gas will get paid!”
Seirously – what “sacrifices” did The One “ask” of anyone?
…probably freedom of speech.
At the same time B. Hussein Obama was talking about the sacrifices we’d all have to make his campaign website promised big tax cuts to anyone who makes less than $250k/yr.
JRoosh quipped: “…probably freedom of speech.”
A little ironic, no? What with you censoring Angryclown on the “Obammy” thread and all.
Obama didn’t really ask for sacrifices, but his wife suggested that Obama wasn’t going to let us do certain things, if I remember correctly. She then disappeared for a time, appearing mainly at events like the grand opening of a Photomat in northern Virginia.
Let me check the entire library of his campaign speeches:
Hope change hope change
The waters will receed and the earth cool
We are the ones we have been waiting for
I have been in all 57 states
A smoked some weed and did a little blow
I promise to sign the Freedom of Choice Act (sic)
That’s it!! He wants us to sacrifice our first born for him. Planned Parenthood will assist.
I believe he did warn that we’d no longer be able to drive SUVs, eat what we wanted to, or control the temperature inside our homes.
To be fair he and Joe Biden did ask “the rich” to sacrifice by paying higher taxes because it’s “patriotic”…
A little ironic, no?
Actually, no, since Roosh isn’t a body of government.
Certainly our credulity has been laid upon the altar.
