White House Official: Obama Will Claim He’s a “Warrior Of The Working Class” In 2012…
The MSM now has its marching orders.
(ABC News) — The president will continue to claim the mantle for “warrior of the working class” in 2012 in stark contrast to the public perception that Republicans in Congress are backing millionaires, not the middle class, a senior White House official tells ABC News.
And that message will be carried through President Obama’s reelection campaign next year. “We’re going to be doubling down on our commitment and our message in terms of fighting for the middle class,” Deputy Press Secretary Josh Earnest told reporters covering the president in Hawaii.
After a heated battle between the White House and House Republicans, the payroll tax cut was extended until the end of February — a battle the president ultimately won albeit for just two months. It also delayed the president’s vacation here, but the White House official noted that it gave the president and his senior advisers time to work through policy proposals that they plan to roll out in the new year — one being to extend the payroll tax cut through the end of 2012.
The White House is currently honing its main message which was previewed in a speech the president gave on December 6 in Osawatomie, Kansas, where he mentioned the words middle class 28 times. That message — give Americans a fair shake, a fair shot, and that everybody pays their fair share — is one shared by protesters of Occupy Wall Street and one the White House hopes resonates with voters.

What part is Boehner helping with?
Does he not know,that WE know,he is a habitual,two-faced,forked tongued liar?
“warrior of the working class”
From someone who has never really worked for a living. Kiss my entire ass.
Try, warrior for the welfare class…. you don’t represent me or anyone else I know, dumbass.
After playing 90 some odd rounds of Golf in the last few years, I can identify with him.
Wait I don’t play Golf. Oh well he is still the greatest!
Yeah,sure a warrior of the working class what a liar Thats only becuase he is supported by all these corupt labor unions
Damn it. The White House must have seen my video:

Is anyone other than me working?
Warrior for the middle class? Surely you jest. This bag of feces has never done anything for anybody else; he always does things for himself – ex. the recent $4M vacation paid for by people who can’t afford a vacation. Yes indeed, surely you jest?
As a bitter clinging middle class “worker”, I absolutely believe him!
Just like I believe in the tooth fairy.
Warrior against the middle class more like it.
Obama ultimately “won” the battle for the payroll tax extension, if only for 2 months? I seem to recall that he wanted extended for one year, and so did Boehner, and I believe the House passed and sent the bill to the Senate to be voted on. Reid hobbled it in the Senate to create another “crisis” come February creating another opportunity for Obama to claim credit for “cutting taxes for hard-working Americans.”
Am I the only one who sees this sorry spectacle for what it is? I’m sure Obama would like nothing better than for this to play out again and again throughout the year. His interest in seeing legislation succeed ends with it’s impact on his reelection.
Obama the ” king of the working class?”
ER.. didn’t he already throw us ( working class ) under the bus?
King? Inhis own dillusinoal mind
There’s an old, old saying on earth, Mr. Sulu: “Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me.” – Montgomery Scott
Obama goes in 2012
The middle class that vacations every December in Hawaii.
If you have to run around telling everyone you’re a middle class warrior, then you’re not a middle class warrior
@ Granny Jan
I am still laughing over that video of yours! Go ahead, barry, make my day!
@ Miss Rainbow
good point
Funny how when a Republican president plays golf it shows he’s a country club elitist but when a Democrat (white or black) plays golf it shows he’s a man of the people doing the same things ordinary American guys do.
Oh, yeah. Barack Obama and I have SO much in common.
CORRECTION:
The message was garbled in transmission. He didn’t say he was a “warrior of the working class.” He said he has a “warthog wife with a giant ass.”
“warrior of the working class”
Yes, and there are many willing to give testimonials …
Just as soon as they get back from the unemployment office, and welfare office with their food stamps.
How the mighty has fallen, eh?
From “Messiah” to a lowly ‘warrior’.
2011 Sucked, 2012 Could Be Even Worse
On a personal, family level, 2011 was one of the worst years of our lives, but that’s our problem.
On national and world levels, 2011 sucked just as much with the added downer that, unlike us, 2012 holds the prospect of being even worse for the United States and the planet.
Of course, good things happened last year; they always do.
Navy Team 6 dispatching Usama bin laden was the highlight, an economy showing meager signs of improvement was less noteworthy but nevertheless a good thing, GOP candidates having the nerve to debate incessantly and make their opinions known to the electorate was a refreshing novelty, the stock market did fairly well, the Iraq War temporarily ended, and the number of abortions declined.
As is too often the case, the bad outweighed the good both at home and throughout the world in 2011.
Domestically, MSNBC and Bill Maher are still regurgitating, the economy is still wallowing in the doldrums, poverty is increasing as planned by the administration, our borders are farcical, and the nation suffered through a series of unprecedented natural catastrophes as well as social upheaval with 1960′s precedents in the persons of the Occupiers.
However, although Mother Natures’s onslaughts are inevitable and unavoidable, we are free to pull the plug on MSNBC and Maher, the economy will recover, the poor really aren’t really all that bad off, various states are attempting to perform the federal job of stemming illegal immigration, and the Occupiers are more and more recognized for the anarchists they are.
As opposed to those 2011 negatives with silver linings, above all else in the negative category is the fact Barack Hussein Obama still reigns as America’s Chief Executive.
Overseas, cataclysmic natural, economic, and political events were far worse than our own. . . (Read more at http://www.genelalor.com/blog1/?p=11968.)
Just regular working folks, 30 rounds of golf a year, $2000 sun dresses, $500 dollar sneakers, multiple multi-week vacations a year etc. Oh, I forgot, full time paid (by the US taxpayer) staff to do everything for you.
Yea, that’s how how Mr. & Mrs. Joe Average American lives. Probably not even all of the 1% live that well.
Tell us again that the titanic was unsinkible,theyll never replace the horse,if manwere ment to fly he would have been born with wings, and besides all good fairytales begin with ONCE UPON A TIME or LONG,LONG AGO

“Barack Obama simply does not expect to follow normal political customs and traditions because he knows the media do not expect him to: he will not release the transcripts because he does not have to and it is his pleasure not to, in the way he did not worry about explaining his near worship of his racist pastor of twenty years, or being the first to renounce public financing of presidential campaigns in the general election, or the first nominee in recent memory not to have released his medical records, or the first to have raised $1 billion dollars in private cash, or the first to have played 90 rounds of golf in his first three years in office. All of these may or may not be real issues, but they have always been real issues to the press and suddenly are no longer such—and Obama not only knows it, but enjoys knowing how the media exempts rather than audits him. Does a Chris Matthews understand just how much contempt Obama has for some one so sycophantic as himself?” – Victor Davis Hanson: The No-News Stories of 2011
Right out of the Communist Manifesto.
Rich coming from a marxist who enthusiastically supported a church that disavowed “middle classness” and a candidate who referred to us as bitter clingers.Actions speak louder than lying words ya commie P.O.S.
he’s a warrior for turning America into one big ghetto. its his mission.
he’s on a rampage.
Working class? Hmm…I think that translates to: Union members, not Joe Schmo working a non-union private job who has to pay for his health care, pay for his own retirement and that of union employees also. President Food Stamps has never acknowledged the essential population of self-employed. To him we are invisible, worthy only of cheap straw-man attacks on our failure to pay enough taxes to continue his destructive Ponzi-scheme policies.
All the RNC has to do is to show him saying he is the Working Class Warrior, against a backdrop of him and the Wookie spending 4 millioon dollars on a 17 day vacation.
But, they won’t.
The idea that the this skinny, self-obsessed little freak is a warrior for anyone but himself and his own best interests is laughable.
It’s all about the message. I vaguely remember as a child, during the mid 50′s, the media castigating the President of the United States for playing golf as the economy was tanking. Today however, that very same media is silent about the number of times this “one” is on the course. Oh, darn it, not the same thing, this “one” is a Democrat and the other one in the 50′s was a Republican. I get it now, thanks to the dominate liberal media. Warrior my freaking ass. Nothing more than a sanctimonious a–hole without feelings for anyone.
@GrannyJan: Nice work! A little ‘pony-riding trot’ footage would be very appropriate in there too.
“Warrior Of The Working Class”
Your $4 MILLION vacation begs to differ!
“Warrior Of The Working Class”
Your 92 GOLF outings begs to differ!
“Warrior Of The Working Class”
A total of 4 MONTHS golfing while in office screams BULLSHIT!
When I think of warrior,I imagine someone that could kick my ass….
……..him?…hehehe
Whover gets the Republican nomination to go against the President needs to bring out his hypocrysy and the groups trying to coronate him to another 4 years. They are taking the gloves off and are open about it! Why not Axelrod him with how much ass is showing up on the Democratic pole right now. How about a walk down memory lane of his divisivenes, his aquaintences, his lack of openess/transparency. The media won’t do this but we can spread the word!!!!!!
A perfect example of his warrior skills:
