Obama Re: Repuke Pledge "It’s an echo of a disastrous decade we can’t afford to relive."

Obama slams GOP 'Pledge' as giveaway to millionaires, Wall Street
By Mike Lillis - 09/25/10 06:00 AM ET

With five weeks remaining before November's midterms, President Obama is slamming the Republicans' legislative agenda as a gift to the wealthy at the expense of the middle class.

The GOP's "Pledge to America," Obama said Saturday during his weekly radio address, promotes "the very same policies that led to the economic crisis in the first place."

"It is grounded in the same worn-out philosophy: cut taxes for millionaires and billionaires; cut the rules for Wall Street and the special interests; and cut the middle class loose to fend for itself," Obama said.

"That’s not a prescription for a better future. It’s an echo of a disastrous decade we can’t afford to relive."

1. And that seems to be beyond the capacity of the mentally challenged on the Right to comprehend.
Is anyone working on a therapy or at least a medical diagnosis for this? Something, before they kill us all.

2. The Republicans and their pledges.
They do this because they believe the voters want leaders to stick to one idea, and stay with that idea no matter how bad it is.

See, this is why we should have gone for the Repub throats from the beginning. We would all be a long way to educating the right-wing masses about why the Repub policies were bad in the first place.

4. My prayer for America is that BHO will put into action initiatives to stop in its tracks
every disastrous policy and action implemented in the aforesaid disastrous decade: every one without exception. ;)
