Progressives throughout history love to use children to score political points. Whether it was Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Castro or Chavez, the Left loves to claim they’re for the Children. Taking a page out of his ideological soul-mates, Barack Hussein Obama at his press conference claimed Republicans are anti-Children. He said the debt ceiling debate is about corporate jets vs. children.
Kids versus corporate jets.
If President Obama’s news conference accomplished anything on Wednesday afternoon, it underscored, in striking tones, his strategy for winning the debt ceiling fight with Republicans: Make it a clash of classes.
- Rich versus Poor.
- Us versus Them.
- Those who support children, food safety, medical research and, presumably, puppies and apple pie versus the rich fat cats who don’t.
In Obama’s world, Democrats are for kids and Republicans are for corporate jets. That is a sharp distinction that could help put the GOP on defensive, but it may not be enough to persuade Republicans to change their posture on the debt-ceiling talks.
Republicans have cast Obama as a tax-raiser and a Big-Government spender. This was his jujitsu move to turn their arguments against them. With a hint of disdain, Obama even dredged up the death of Osama bin Laden to score a political point.
“I’ve been doing Afghanistan, bin Laden and the Greek crisis,” Obama said, jabbing Congress for being out of session so much. “You stay here. Let’s get it done.”
This is 3rd World Liberation rhetoric. The GOP should say they are defending the Children by wanting to address the debt issues. Obama shouldn’t be allowed to get away with his demagoguery. He is on the side of people who fly private corporate jets. Bring up his connections to George Soros and GE. The GOP needs to fight him and stop being nice.
