'You would think that any president, whatever his party, would make job creation and nothing else his first order of business, but this president didn't do that.' Of course, my party's first order of business was to cripple Obama's presidency and make sure nothing improved in the country.
"Obama Care comes to more than 2,000 pages of rules, mandates, taxes, fees and fines that have no place in a free country." but it also has rights and protections that were not there before.
"They needed hundreds of billions more. So they just took it all away from Medicare, $716 billion funneled out of Medicare by President Obama." I would also take 716 billion out of medicare, but I would take it away from the benefits, not by making it more efficient and protecting benefits.
"An obligation we have to our parents and grandparents is being sacrificed, all to pay for a new entitlement we didn't even ask for." I know a lot of you did ask for it, because you were suffering with a lack of coverage, skyrocketing premiums, and pre-existing exclusions. But if those things bother you, you must be poor, so you don't matter.
"Mitt Romney and I know the difference between protecting a program and raiding it" No one knows more about raiding than Mr. Romney.
"He said his job is to, quote, ``tell a story to the American people''. As if that is the whole problem here? He needs to talk more and we need to be better listeners?" I know he didn't say anything about our listening ability, but I can twist this to make it seem like he is criticizing us, so I will.
"And the story that Barack Obama does tell, forever shifting blame to the last administration, is getting old. The man assumed office almost four years ago. Isn't it about time he assumed responsibility?" I know Bush Jr gave him a terrible economy to work with, but it's time we shift blame to the obstructionist congress that makes sure nothing improves. Give us our credit, Mr. President. Bush knocked us down, but we are keeping us down.
"By his own decisions, President Obama has added more debt than any other president before him." And I helped him do it by voting for every expensive piece of legislation I could find.
"After all that work, and in a bad economy, it sure doesn't help to hear from their president that government gets the credit. What they deserve to hear is the truth: Yes, you did build that." Everyone of you small business owners, you DID build every road, every piece of infrastructure, every government program. You might not remember it, but you alone get the credit for everything.
"We have a plan for a stronger middle class, with the goal of generating 12 million new jobs over the next four years." That's 6 millions butlers and gardeners for me, 6 million for Mitt.
"The choice -- the choice is whether to put hard limits on economic growth, or hard limits on the size of government, and we choose to limit government." But only when the other party is in charge. When we are in, there are no limits.
"Everyone -- everyone who feels stuck in the Obama economy is right to focus on the here and now. And I hope you understand this too, if you're feeling left out or passed by: You have not failed, your leaders have failed you." Did I mention I am a leader?
"Now when I was waiting tables, washing dishes, or mowing lawns for money, I never thought of myself as stuck in some station in life. I was on my own path, my own journey, an American journey, where I could think for myself, decide for
myself, define happen as for myself." Because I was born into money, and because I had a government program that gave me even more money (social security from my deceased father).
"That's freedom and I will take it any day over the supervision and sanctimony of the central planners." Pay no attention to the Patriot Act, and the warrantless wiretapping.
"Mitt has not only succeeded, but he has succeeded where others could not." Part of his success was making sure that others could not succeed, by closing factories to turn a quick profit rather than investing in them and growing them.
"He turned around the Olympics at a time when a great institution was collapsing under the weight of bad management, overspending and corruption." Thanks to help from the government.
"And the greatest of all responsibilities, is that of the strong to protect the weak." but that is so socialist. Helping the weak encourages weakness and dependence. As my hero Ayn Rand preaches, the weak should be stepped upon. Helping them shows moral failure on your part. And I make sure that all my interns read her books and understand that message.
"our rights come from nature and God, and not from government." It was god that gave us protected freedom of speech. It is god that gave women and blacks the right to vote. I guess it was god that withheld that right for a while until He decided it was time to change it. It is god who suggested that we give everyone health care, but we don't have to follow that one.
"We honor them and all our veterans, and we thank them." we just don't take care of them.
"The work ahead will be hard." but not for the rich, we'll do all we can to make it easier on us, I mean them.
"Together, we can do this." and by together, I mean you, the shrinking middle class. We all need to make sacrifices, except those of us that have the most.
"We can make the safety net safe again." as safe as the stock market in 2008
"Whatever your political party, let's come together for the sake of our country." although our definition of coming together is insisting that we get 100% of what we want and ignoring any other constituencies.
I work for the Koch brothers. They pay for my campaigns, they pay for my legislation. They pay a hell of a lot better than your stupid government can. But i have to pretend that I work for you so you'll feel better voting against your best interests.
