Do you find it hard to believe that in a city where
unemployment is more than double the national average Barack
Obama was feted with chants of four more years for
"previewing"
the surefire
jobs-creation speech he is scheduled to present to a
joint session of Congress on Thursday?
Perhaps it
will be easier to accept
if I tell you that your Dear Leader's Labor Day address was
to a gang of Democrat politicians, labor union officials and
their gainfully employed dues-paying shills.
No speech was loaded into the teleprompter that Obama could have
delivered to a gathering of unemployed or underemployed
Detroiters. Contact with struggling folks is to be avoided
because only corrupted wealth can raise the rest of the $1
billion his handlers believe will be necessary to properly demonize
his opponents. Real
victims of Obama's ineptitude and ideology must be kept
voiceless at all costs. They certainly can't be counted on for
donations.
The opening act for Obama's labored address was Jimmy Hoffa,
president of the Teamsters. The
"civility"
Obama had called for earlier this year was given yet another day
off by the president -- a waiver, if you prefer. To cheers from fellow belligerents, Hoffa threatened:
|
"We
got to keep an eye on the battle that we face: The
war on workers. And you see it everywhere, it is the
Tea Party. And you know, there is only one way to
beat and win that war. The one thing about working
people is we like a good fight. And you know what?
They've got a war, they got a war with us and
there's only going to be one winner. It's going to
be the workers of Michigan, and America. We're going
to win that war. President Obama, this is your
army. We are ready to march. Let's take these son of
bitches out and give America back to an America
where we belong." |

Change? Jimmy's old man
'took SOB's
out' all the time before they flipped the script on
him. |
When the community organizer took the stage there wasn't even
a quip about Hoffa's over-the-top inflammatory rhetoric.
Not even an
"easy now, Jimmy...we don't want your blood pressure
to go up." Instead, he said he is
"proud"
of Jimmy Hoffa and the other assembled labor leaders and he
shouted-out to the labor bigwigs and their pocket-lining politician cronies,
making it an official campaign speech in the image of his
sanctimonious, phony-baloney 2008 lecture series.
Apparently, BHO's new jobs-creation program is no more than a re-sloganed
version of the
"not so
shovel-ready projects" that failed to do the trick earlier while the organizer
spent a year concentrating on nothing but socialized medicine,
his golf swing and his jump shot. How do we know that?
Because there were repeated references in his speech to
"unemployed union construction workers"
who are
"ready to
get their hands dirty"
to save the United states' infrastructure, if not our economy.
And what would any Obama campaign speech be without some
Marxist phrases sprinkled into the mix? "Shared
prosperity"
is
the
newly-euphemized version of wealth redistribution while
unabashed
pro-unionism
has spawned
job-stifling rhetoric like: "The
right to work is
[actually]
the right to work for less and less and less."
Over
1,000 jobs at a proposed South Carolina Boeing Aircraft plant are
currently being held hostage by this kind of unrealistic
ideological blackmail.
Meanwhile
the AFL-CIO, absent its Teamster strongman, was treated to an
official lefty talking points demonization rant by Joe Biden at
a Labor Day rally in Cincinnati. The blow-hard VP
referred to those who criticize his boss' failed socialist
agenda and the unions' ever-corrupt selfishness as
"barbarians".
Biden
told the union goons: “You
are the only folks keeping the barbarians
from the gates..."
Schmuckishly lending
credence to conservatives' claim that Democrats have long been
in corrupt collusion with labor unions, the loose cannon went on
to admit: "I've got to
state the obvious. There's an old expression: 'You go home
with them that brung you to the dance.' You guys all brought me
to the dance 36 years ago in Delaware as a United States
senator. You've been with me, and I've stayed with you."
A friend and regular reader in
Montgomery, Alabama (screen name,
fuguestate) summed up the
lefty Labor Day speeches best in a comment to my last rant...
"After Hoffa's and Biden's
inflammatory remarks yesterday, I think it's clear who are the
real SOB's and barbarians. Since Obama and the media have
acquiesced and given Hoffa and Biden a free ride, you can throw
them in also."
"Throw them
out" is what I was thinking.
