Obama begging for applause

October 20th, 2011 Grungeman Leave a comment Go to comments

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.
