Obama: If I Lose Reelection, Government Will Tell People “You’re On Your Own”…
Is that a threat or a promise?
(ABC News) — At a million-dollar San Francisco fundraiser today, President Obama warned his recession-battered supporters that if he loses the 2012 election it could herald a new, painful era of self-reliance in America.
“The one thing that we absolutely know for sure is that if we don’t work even harder than we did in 2008, then we’re going to have a government that tells the American people, ‘you are on your own,’” Obama told a crowd of 200 donors over lunch at the W Hotel.
“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.
Last week, Obama supporters pounced on comments by Republican presidential frontrunner Mitt Romney that the solution to the nation’s housing crisis is “don’t try and stop the foreclosure process. Let it run its course and hit the bottom.”
Today, Obama cast Republicans’ hands-off approach as harmful to middle class families, who he says deserve government help.
“I reject an argument that says we’ve got to roll back protections that ban hidden fees by credit card companies, or rules that keep our kids from being exposed to mercury, or laws that prevent the health insurance industry from exploiting people who are sick,” Obama said. “And I reject the idea that somehow if we strip away collective bargaining rights, that we’ll be somehow better off.

“You’re on your own” is the quintessential American virtue. It means you alone are responsible for your destiny. You have all the freedom and all the power to make yourself whatever you want to be, and government will not stand in your way.
This is the opposite of the Democrat vision, which compounds regulation upon regulation until only the rich can make money, because the non-rich cannot start new businesses due to the expense of regulatory compliance.
In the Democrat world, you need a lawyer to tell you where to step and when to breath, lest you be sued for all you’ve got.
That is not the America of our birthright, and when Obama is out, we will expose the lies of the statist party and show America that only way to improve your lot in live is to live free.
I can’t wait! I hope Obama is investigated and charged for malfeasance during his administration and jailed for life.
Sounds like a lot of individual liberties will be restored when we kick Chicago Jesus’ ass out of Washington!
“You’re on your own”
That is exactly where I want to be so get the hell off my back.
AND I REJECT YOU
You’re on your own too, Hussein.. don’t bend over in the prison shower..
Please lose, I really need some time to myself.
I’m kinda of stunned that this is the argument they and he are planning to make. No one is saying not to have resonable regulations to keep the air clean, protect consumers, etc.
But the EPA is now making rules to justify its own existance, the Dodd-Frank bill only strenghtens big banks and hurts small local banks, and the bill was not to protect consumers, it was to take over another industry, same with healthcare. People like me, independents, wanted resonable protections, however we don’t want the govt to dictate how a industry works, etc, the healthcare bil should have allowed cross state competiions like car insurance, instead, the fed govt has now taken over that industry, and making everyone buy what they tell them to buy.
America, land of the murderers, home of the slaves!
So he’s in agreement with the Tea Party!
Get off our case Obama! Enjoy a permanent vacation in Kenya with your nutty family in a mud hut.
In keeping with the spirit of a positive and hopeful campaign, Obummer gives us yet another long and wonderful recitation of his accomplishments in his presidency.
IF you lose? LOL
You should be Mumia’s cellmate.
The cop-killer and the country-killer.
The guy’s arrogance is cosmic.
“If you get sick, you’re on your own. – I have BCBS insurance, so I’m not on my own.
If you can’t afford college, you’re on your own. – Always have been, always will be. Couldn’t afford college 45 years ago, still can’t. Went for a while, but always on my own $$$. Didn’t have the advantage of Fulbright scholarships or Equal Opportunity. I’m not Equal; I’m white.
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,”
Always have been. Live in farm country. Dust is dust; stay out of its way.
“That’s not the America I believe in. It’s not the America you believe in.”
Yes, it is. It’s called America. FREE America. There is absolutely NOTHING you, as prez, can do to help me out. You’re a SOCIALIST who desires to have gov’t in charge of my life, and that won’t work. Never has, never will.
also, why is he telling these multimillionaires and billionaires “they’re on their own”, seriously? he’s telling these extremely rich people “they’re on their own”?
Isn’t he scaring the wrong crowd?
Hot Damn! Can I help you and Hoochelle pack?
Yep, I LIKE being ON MY OWN.
Go to Hell you goddam COMMUNIST and leave me ALONE!!
…If I lose, the government will tell people you’re on your own….
Promises, promises…….
I am all for obama leaving out the side door past the garbage cans.
When he is defeated.
That’s just fine with me. Bye Bye obama and gov’t….this is a problem how?
Being on our own will be much better than where we are now.
“If I lose, you’re on your own (fighting against my imposition of martial law, and suspension of the electoral results because I will not vacate the Oval Office so long as I have a pulse).” BHO…
That’s exactly what he’s thinking. Internal monologue’s a bitch, ain’t it?
GET OFF MY LAWN! Am I clear yet?

no. you’d steal too much and drool on the nice things.
“costly consequences of the Republicans’ agenda “?
If anyone is an expert on “costly consequences”, it would have to be Obamanure.
Meanwhile, fuster, you’d be sniffing the Wookie’s panties.
“….Government Will Tell People “You’re On Your Own”….”

Government will tell leeches that they’re on their own.
FREE people don’t owe anyone anything. They are FREE of obligations.

How many times has this creep stated that he is going to take matters into his own hands without congress? Then, nov9th he shuts down the airwaves for 3 min. And now this! Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) rules to allow the DOJ to state that a requested document does not exist when in-fact it does.

When he is gone hooray!! He has been a good civic lesson on what not to do. Indeed very expensive lesson, now for those pesky rinos.
We need a few neutered prog’s around for we dont ever forget said lessons
I’ve been on my own since I was born, only some help in the early years from my parents. ( Not really, Jesus was always there, and still is)
What is this communist islamo moslim moron talking about?!!!
Four years of obama is enough were better off without him

I’ve no idea if lurvelymomma even wears panties and have no desire to get too familiar with any of her clothing or body odors.
Fuster; No borsht soup for you tonight you’re a bad little pompous assholie. Apologize to Lurvelymomma punk.
I am sooooo tired of Obama’s sniveling, threats that I could upchuck.
I heard his next big trick, to gain sympathy enough to win re-election is going to be a trumped up huge threat on his life. Got news for that long-legged mack daddy… THAT would be no threat for ME! HE is a threat for me!
Americans are never on their own, but the misguided attempt to replace charity and neighbors with the government must come to an end. Charity and help have consequences, these are some of the strongest ties that bind a community together and make it strong enough to weather any storm. But this only works up to the point where you know the person you are receiving charity from or giving charity to. The moment it becomes impersonal the ties are severed, and over time the foundation of that community becomes too week to hold together. A little bit of government is good, too much is poison, and we are far into the poison part of the spectrum.
Does that mean we get to eat whatever we want again?
I mean, you ARE taking the Wookie with you when you exit the WH out the back and through the mud patch she called a garden.

Takes your flies and rats with you when you go.
Thatisall…
In sincere hope when a Conservative president is sworn into office January 20, 2013; the first action he takes is to have the Federal Marshals slap some chrome bracelets on your wrists and take you and your band of Communists off to jail. Fuck you, you worthless piece of shit!
patrick, never liked that soup, despite all the lovely Polish people trying to get me to learn to like it.
had you gone with beef goulash on potato pancake ….I might have reconsidered.
THAT’S THE POINT BARRY! GTFO OF OUR LIVES!
fuster aka custer:
I notice that you are at the typical behavior. On some other thread you were talking about lawyers. The issue about the lawyers is that over the years there has become more & more trial lawyers that do not act on behalf of the overall American good. Furthermore, it goes back to the ever expanding over-reach of government.
I was hoping there would be a place of reasoning that you would understand, but more & more observation simply tells me that you may have a lot of head knowledge but your better common sense is lost.
I don’t need gov’t to live.
Obama is an idiot.
Hickster, there are NOT more and more trial lawyers that do not act for the public good.
there are many lawyers in the US and there have always been many lawyers in the US and it’s not true that more of them are selfish now than in the past.
lawyers were just as sleazy when my father-in-law went to law school and just as sleazy when I did,
many would argue that it’s not possible for them to have gotten much worse.
Are we talking John Edwards?
And Fuster -just what did Michelle get up to to being unregistered by a court order?
Normally lousy lawyers just do not re register eg her husband.
reality——this will explain about Illinois and having to seek a court order for inactive status…
it’s not that she was censured by the courts or had her ticket involuntarily revoked.
http://24ahead.com/michelle-obama-court-ordered-inactive-status
fuster,
what do you think of the original 13th amendment?
The missing 13th Amendment, called Article XIII, reads:
“If any citizen of the United States shall accept, claim, receive, or retain, any title of nobility or honor, or shall, without the consent of Congress, accept and retain any present, pension, office or emolument of any kind whatever, from any emperor, king, prince, or foreign power, such person shall cease to be a citizen of the United States, and shall be incapable of holding any office of trust or profit under them, or either of them.”
just curious..
I think that it was something that was a product of it’s time and that it made sense back when European monarchs had possessions all over North America….and were certainly used to passing bags of cash around.
Get a bio of Aaron Burr some time and read all about it….
I don’t think it would be a great idea these days or at any time after WWI.
It certainly wouldn’t have been a great idea to have stripped Douglas MacArthur of his citizenship prior to WWII because he was getting bags of dough from the govt of the Philippines.
Fuster
She must have really sucked . That black female Harvard Law spot was surely wasted on her. If they read her sociology paper from Princeton they would have seen she could not write.
“You’re on your own.”. Isn’t that what Stanley told her bastard son, barack, when she dumped him on Grandma?
well, the american people can’t rely on him or his buddies.
they’d be far better off looking to their neighbours and reciprocating the favour(s) than a bunch of leftist, pc paracites
A new, painful era of self-reliance?
YEAH, GIVE IT TO ME THE WAY THE FOUNDERS WANTED IT TO BE!
IT’S NOT LIKE I HAVEN’T BEEN DOING IT THAT WAY SINCE I WAS 16 AND NOW I AM 52
BUT I WANT ALL THOSE LAZY ASSHOLES TO GET OFF THEIR “PITY ME BECAUSE I AM THIS …” BUTTS AND GET A JOB!
What an absolute fucking idiot Barack “Insane” Obama is! He doesn’t know what’s in that Constitution thingy – only what his professors told him sucked about it.
So his #1 priority til election day November 2012 is to get as many people on government dependency as he can, thus guaranteeing votes for him……
Being on your own is far better than being beholden to corrupt politicians that steal from everyone to makethemselves rich and dole out a few pennies to keep the poor dependent on their staying in power and create an ever increasing population of dependents who keep demanding more and eventually destroy the whole house of cards the politicians built. People, look at history, it always ends the same way. Politicians destroy every civilization they are allowed to control. The people need to control the politicians, not the other way around.
“You’re on your own” is a open call for anarchy.
He’s preparing his base for rioting when he loses.
A government that expects me to take responsibility for my own choices and my own circumstances?
Say it ain’t so, Joe, uh, Barack…
“I’m your guy, if I’m not here to protect you against those troglodyte, fascist, racist, hillbilly Tea-party conservatives…ohhhh Lawdy, Lawdy!”
Arrest obama now!
He has multiple RICO violation, and clear Treason and Sedition in the gun/arms running just like the fast and furious scheme out of at least five States and 10 distribution centers.
Until he is arrested for his crimes the rest of all that is done is just kabuki theatre. The vote means nothing if the U.S. Constitution is not honored.
The news that should lead every TV station for all of real America:
Its morning in America and We the people still have a evil serial criminal, Treasonist and Seditionist in OUR WH.
The co-conspirators are backing the enemy up and and today are saying (whatever lies spewed as the talking points de jour).
Today is day number 2 of the seige and scurge upon America by our enemy in the WH.
The Marines are mobilized and standying by as the commanders say they will uphold the Constitution and bring the evil criminal cabal to justice..
God bless America.
Amen.
Nothing would make me happier than to see a Military coupe da ta and throw this POS in jail, The dow would swell 3000 points in the first day, I dont understand WHY ?? this hasn`t happened already. Obama is clearly our enemy and only seeks to destroy our country. the other night I watched a show on NAZI Calabrators. Obammie must have seen the same show.
Well yeah, I`ll just go ahead and say it. If you support this POS your a fucking Calaberator.
Coupe da ta should be Coup de etat
dow needs to be capiltalized… Dow, for Dow Jones
Calaberator should be collaborator
Why it hasn’t happened?
Because all of Congress and the Media are part of the conspiracy.
SCOAMF
Blackbird nailed it.
“It certainly wouldn’t have been a great idea to have stripped Douglas MacArthur of his citizenship prior to WWII because he was getting bags of dough from the govt of the Philippines.”
Fuster, I don’t think the world would have unfolded the same way had that amendment not been scrubbed from the Bill of Rights..
Isn’t it strange how the civil war started just before the final State ratification necessary for it’s inclusion in the Bill of Rights..
“it made sense back when European monarchs had possessions all over North America….and were certainly used to passing bags of cash around.”
The more things change, the more they stay the same..
…And I reject the argument that this stuttering jugeared dunce is in any way qualified to lead my country.
And I reject the argument that the mincing, know nothing, dilletante currently infesting my White House has the best interests of my country in his/her mind.
And I reject the argument that a group of smelly, germ infested nabobs with worthless college degrees “down twinkling”, “up twinkling” and drum circle jerking while trespassing in parks across the country with no aim other than to “protest something, ANYthing” in any way shape or form represent me or my way of life.
And I reject the argument that says the federal government is necessary to regulate student loans, mortgages, food intake, the lifestyle of california smelt, and what kind of health insurance I do or do not choose to purchase.
I could go on, but why bother.
Yo, SCOAMF. Noone likes you. You suck. Beat it.
Take your cheesy and negligible basketball skills, your ugly wife, your bad breath, and your empty skull back to Hawaii, or Indonesia, or Hell, or wherever you sprung from.
Oh man. Tipsyslattern, I couldn’t have said it better. That was art. What makes it art is that it’s accurate and articulate and painted a picture of “that jugeared dunce” leaving the white house and our country alone.
Well, it’s about time O gets the picture. We were doing just fine on our own until this bozo got elected and muddled up the works. That’s what the American people have been doing for a long long time-doing it on our own.
“…or rules that keep our kids from being exposed to mercury,…”
Yet here we are being forced by that very government to buy mercury light bulbs. Without a clue as how they’re going to clean up all the mercury that ends up in the landfills and seeps into our ground water because people don’t know or will not dispose of them properly.
Hypocrite in so many ways.
O is almost unbelieveable – repeating something doesn’t make it true – time for him to leave us “on our own” – please God.
God bless America, our troops, Israel, and fellow humans.
@fuster
fuster, fuster, fuster,
What are we going to do with you?
Leaving posts at 1, 2, 3 o’clock in the morning,
Can’t sleep again? Having those dreams about obongo again? you know the ones,
did you make up the part that your father AND you are lawyers? not attorneys, lawyers?
if you are, you certainly can’t be very accomplished, don’t forget, we have ALL seen your logic skills in evidence
I thought attorneys NEVER asked a question they didn’t know the Answer To?
56 Signers of the Declaration of Independence
19 ‘lawyers’
and really, f(ruitcake)uster, what difference does it make? I mean, that was over 100 years ago, at least, they didn’t even talk or write so that we could understand them way back then
responding to ZIP’s post
Now there is going to be an ELECTION????!!!!
now that’s news,
I for one, am encouraged
obongo, you talk and write like fuster
you must be an accomplished ‘lawyer’ as well
This divisive rhetoric is historic for a President. We should never let a President talk like this. We should impeach this man for trying to overthrow our government.
From your mouth to God’s ear, Barry.
Barack:
You are the most spineless excuse for a leader ever. You backbone is connected to someone’s wallet. You spew hate and division and call for “acceptance”. When your gone we will return America to its greatness.
Your demise cannot come soon enough………..
obama is the problem with america.some states unemployment is 40 percent but the media thats left wing supporters arent putting this out there.obamas new world order is a joke.he needs to go back to kenya with his family nd kick rocks.we all know he wasnt born here but left wing nuts with their hands out r too stupid to know ny thing.hes scred of americans taking back control of their own lives nd their kids lives.cant stand to hear him or look at his ugly face.time to puke.
NoBlahBlah —-father-in-law, not father.
Cinstittution, not Declaration.
—
try opining on my skill as a logician after you read to read a bit better, blahblah
@fuster:
“Cinstittution, not Declaration”
What’s a “Cinstittution”? Is it like a “Binn oif RIgggghts”? Or more like “Iirtikles of Cinfidrrratin”?
Try ripping on NoBlahBlah’s reading skills after you learn to write a little better, pudster.
Being “on your own” is something the Nothing Man has never had to experience. His entire fraudulent persona is the work of others. The Nothing Man on his own has never accomplished or created anything. He simply cannot comprehend how anybody can accomplish their goals and get through life on their own.
If I did not harbor so much hatred for him I could almost feel sorry for him, for he is truly a Nothing Man.
“You’re on your own” is the quintessential American virtue. It means you alone are responsible for your destiny. You have all the freedom and all the power to make yourself whatever you want to be, and government will not stand in your way.
Quintessential American myth is more like it. I don’t understand how anyone over the age of 12, at the outside, can continue to believe this.
“You’re on your own.” Funny, he says it like it’s a bad thing.
I remember clearly the exhilaration I felt during my second year of engineering school when my dear sainted mother, upset that I had failed to drive from where I was employed as a student engineer to visit her over a Memorial Day weekend, sat me down for a heart-to-heart about life. When she saw I was adamant about not automatically adapting to her schedule, she announced that I would henceforth be on my own. She said it like it would be a bad thing, too. Funny, I think she knew right away that she had miscalculated. So, yeah, I finished school ON MY OWN, became a professional engineer ON MY OWN, qualified for a graduate fellowship and earned a masters in management ON MY OWN … Well, you get the idea. Of course, “on my own” includes lots of help and guidance from my Lord and Savior who gets all the glory. But, sorry Barry, no help from the gub’mint.
@KathyKattenburg: what part of self-reliance, self-determination, or individual liberty do you not understand? Or are you willing to trade away your freedom for … what?

Sorry, Michael, I don’t believe you did all that totally on your own with no help from anyone except your Lord and Savior. No one gets through life totally on their own with no help from anyone.
what part of self-reliance, self-determination, or individual liberty do you not understand? Or are you willing to trade away your freedom for … what?
Part of self-reliance is knowing where to turn and who to turn to for help — which obviously means that there must BE sources of help. I have overcome enormous obstacles, tragedies, and struggles in my life, but I have not done it entirely on my own, and I couldn’t have done it entirely on my own. It’s just not humanly possible to stand entirely on your own with no help from anyone. There are too many things in life over which we have no or very little control. I think you probably already know this, but you and others who talk about “self-reliance” and “self-determination” as if it means you’re moving through life and through the world with all powers and all control and all autonomy, simply discount all the ways in which you need help and seek help and get help.
