The President Takes on Minority Leader Boehner and Republicans at Large | Eastern North Carolina Now

    On Wednesday, September 8, 2010, President Barack went to Parma, Ohio to speak to the students, faculty and local labor union members at the local center of learning, Cuyahoga Community College. His initial message was to taut his new 50 billion dollar stimulus initiative, but his speech almost immediately degenerated into attacking Minority Leader Boehner, all activist Republicans, and the wealth of productive Americans.

    In a direct affront to a speech made by the Minority Leader, made hours earlier in his home stake of Ohio, and an op-ed in the New York Times by his former budget director, Peter Orszag the President to extend the "Bush Tax Cuts" to stimulate the economy, Mr. Obama countered, "The same philosophy we already tried for the last decade. The same philosophy that led to this mess in the first place: cut more taxes for millionaires and cut more rules for corporations."

    The President also stated, "Let me be clear to Mr. Boehner and everyone else. We should not hold middle class tax cuts hostage any longer," "We are ready this week to give tax cuts to every American making $250,000 or less." Later in the rallying speech to this friendly, needy and most familiar crowd, Mr. Obama continued, "The middle class is still treading water, while those aspiring to reach the middle class are doing everything they can to keep from drowning." Often during the policy-speech-turned-campaign-rally the President declared the Republicans, with the crowd on the dais directly behind him resembling adoring babble-heads, as the party of "No."

    Earlier in the week on Labor Day, the President spoke before a crowd of organized labor in Milwaukee, Wisconsin taunting his lasted stimulus package to build: "roads, rails and runways." This crowd that had assembled for the annual Laborfest cheered wildly as the Campaigner-in-Chief explained to his captivated audience how spending more public money would create more jobs for "middleclass Americans." As the President c certain campaigned to take on more spending these infrastructure earmarks, her interspersed a near continues stream of barbs directed at his loyal opposition - the Republicans: At one point complained, "They talk about me like I am a Dog."

    While one cannot be certain of all this "dog" talk, one can be certain the Minority Leader Boehner, and House of Representative Republicans, deeply debates the direction that he and the Democrat House and Senate majority are leading the United States of America. In a speech in Ohio after the President's tirade, the Minority Leader stated, "We don't need more government 'stimulus' spending -- we need to end Washington Democrats' out-of-control spending spree, stop their tax hikes, and create jobs by eliminating the job-killing uncertainty that is hampering our small businesses."
