Obama begging for applause

President Obama talked about his “American Jobs Act” at Fire Station #9 this Wednesday on his bus tour. The President offered his solution for job growth by saying “A fair shot for everybody; a fair share from everybody. That’s the principle that built America.” He managed a few cheers and claps. He then went on to say “You can go ahead and clap, Go ahead, nothing wrong with it.” I guess the luster is beginning to wear or maybe the firefighters understand that Obama really doesn’t want a “fair share” he wants it all.
— All hail King Obama.

to rape when he made allegations that if Obama’s job’s bill did not pass rape
would go up. When he was asked if he would like to retract his statement he
became very agitated and said “I didn’t use, no no no ….Let’s get it straight
guy. Don’t Screw around with me,” Biden then confirmed that he said those
comments about rape. “Murder will continue to rise, rape will continue to rise,
all crimes will continue to rise” if the Democrats bill is not passed he said. See complete video below.
