The Demo-gogues

Undeserved self-congratulation: "In the last several years, we have pulled our country back from the brink, through a series of tough economic decisions. While we have come far, great challenges still face us." --Barack Obama

Spread the wealth: "Now, the fact is our economy is stronger when workers are getting paid good wages and good benefits. Our economy is stronger when we have broad base growth and broad-based prosperity. That's what unions have always been about, shared prosperity." --Barack Obama

Freudian slip: "I think putting money back in the pockets of working families is the best way to get demand rising because that then means business is hiring. That means the government -- that means that the economy is growing." --Barack Obama

"Republicans who think the Recovery Act [stimulus] didn't work are simply wrong." --DNC Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz

Just keep spending: "The president must be bold. I agree that he must have a jobs program, he must create jobs. I'm talking about a jobs program of a trillion dollars or more. We've got to put Americans to work. That's the only way to revitalize this economy." --Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA)

Tea Party = barbarians? "You are the only folks keeping the barbarians from the gates. ... The other side has declared war on labor's house and it's about time we stand up!" --Joe Biden at the AFL-CIO Labor Day rally

Tea Party = racists? "Some of these folks in Congress right now would love to see us as second-class citizens. Some of them in Congress right now of this Tea Party movement would love to see you and me ... hanging on a tree." --Rep. Andre Carson (D-IN)


Media Silent as Audience Instructed to Applaud Obama

What you are about to witness is either awkward or simply military protocol. Either way it’s media bias on display.
