Pawlenty of Obama: “What planet is he from?”

Good question.

(The Hill) — Former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty accused President Obama and Democrats of “coddling” unions and applauded the Tea Party movement as “modern-day Paul Reveres.”

Speaking to a convention of Tea Party activists in Phoenix on Saturday, the Republican White House hopeful sounded a populist tone while blasting unions and Democrats. “Thank you for standing up to the ruling class . . . and big bailed-out businesses,” he told attendees.

Pawlenty has taken an increasingly tough tone in recent weeks when talking about Obama as he seeks to endear himself to a Republican primary electorate ahead of an expected presidential run next year.

The former governor said he wasn’t one to “question the existence of the president’s birth certificate,” which drew laughs from the audience. “But when you listen to his policies, don’t you at least think, what planet is he from?” he said. “We don’t share President Obama’s world view.”

Pawlenty cited the labor standoff in Wisconsin, where Gov. Scott Walker (R) has proposed stripping public-sector employees of collective-bargaining rights and rolling back their benefits.

Obama said recently that the move seemed to be “an assault on unions.”

“And I think it’s very important for us to understand that public employees, they’re our neighbors, they’re our friends,” the president told WTMJ TV.

Holding up a copy of the Constitution, Pawlenty said the government wasn’t mandated to “coddl[e] out of control public employee unions.”

“Mr. President, Wisconsin does not need a lecture from somebody who’s never balanced a budget in his life,” he said.

    Planet “Libtard”, where socialism grows on trees and the left live under rocks.
    Once a year they come out and celebrate their collective hypocrisy.

    Good question – forget proof that he was born in the US. I want proof he was born on this planet!

    Former Gov. Tim Pawlenty of Minnesota spoke at the Tea Party Convention in Arizona. Pawlenty’s speech is very good.

    Very appropriate graphic, undoubtedly inspired by the Rod Serling piece in the Twlight Zone series. Just remember that item the nice tall alien left behind was a cook book, completing the pun about ‘humanitarians’.

    Not Planet Hawaii..

    ‘Obama cannot run from his dark past forever.

    Former senior elections clerk, Tim Adams, became the third of current or former Hawaiian officials bearing intimate knowledge about Obama’s natal documentation to formally indicate that the Aloha State does not possess an original, 1961 birth certificate documenting the natural-born citizenship of Barack Obama. Adams says Obama was definitely not born in Hawaii, but he does not know where else Obama might have been born because there is no original documentation showing his attested birthplace.’
