DMN: Obama Takes Swipe at Bush and Barton...

[kjackson227]

AUSTIN – Speaking at a Democratic fund-raiser this afternoon, President Barack Obama slapped at two well-known Texas Republicans without mentioning either by name: George W. Bush, Obama's predecessor in the White House, and Rep. Joe Barton, R-Arlington, who could chair the House energy committee if Republicans regain control of the House.

Obama addressed more than 200 supporters crowded into a ballroom at the Four Seasons Hotel.

He said tauntingly that only idea Republicans have to fix the economy is to extend Bush-era tax cuts.

"They know they messed up," he said. "And they know that we pulled the country out of the problems we were in. But they figure, 'He's been in office long enough. ... Maybe they'll forget that actually, this was the result of our economic policies.' "

So, what do you guys think happened since Slick Rick handed a letter to Jarrett instead of talking to the president, personally? I thought they (the president and Perry) were going to spend some time on Air Force One talking about the border. So, was the president under some type of time constraints that prevented the one-on-one (wink-wink), or some other reason?

Yeah, right. And, later this evening he'll be posturing and stabbing the President in the back- while at the same time spending the Stimulus money that Perry supposedly sent back, Scumbag Slick Rick, grr.

Obama: Republicans Have Forgotten I 'Politick Pretty Good'

AUSTIN, Texas — Deep in the land of George W. Bush, President Barack Obama swept through Texas on Monday to gather Democratic cash and votes, pounding home education as not just an economic imperative but also a political wedge.

(snip)
"We have spent the last 20 months governing. They spent the last 20 months politicking," Obama said of Republicans. With three months to go before the election, Obama all but said "bring it on": "They've forgotten I know how to politick pretty good."

Obama made sure to point out it was Democrats who passed a law last year that made the government the lender of all federal government loans, eliminating banks from the process and freeing up more money for student aid.
