Obama Voter Tells Him (To His Face)'I'm Exhausted of Defending You" (VIDEO- ROTFLMAO)
September 20, 2010
Obama spoke at a townhall meeting today in Washington D.C. when this woman expressed her disappointment in the Obama Administration. Notice how the president laughs off her comments.
"I'm one of your middle class Americans. And quite frankly, I'm exhausted. Exhausted of defending you, defending your administration, defending the mantle of change that I voted for," a woman told President Obama at a town hall. From New York Times
She described herself as a chief financial officer, a mother and a military veteran said she was disappointed that Mr. Obama had not lived up to her once-lofty expectations.
“I’m exhausted of defending you, defending your administration. … I’m deeply disappointed where we are right now,” she said, adding that when she voted for Mr. Obama, she thought he would change Washington. “I’m waiting, sir. I’m waiting. I don’t feel it yet. … Is this my new reality?”
Moments later, a young man offered a similar theme. He noted that the president had ignited a wave of inspiration for young people and students.
“That inspiration is dying away,” he said. “It feels like the American dream is not attainable for a lot of us. … Is the American dream dead for me?”
Together, the comments reflected the erosion of support among the constituency that swept Mr. Obama into office in 2008. And both were rooted in concerns about the struggling economy and its impact on future generations.
Obama told both attendees to remain hopeful. He defended his administration’s efforts to increase money for student loans, impose new laws on credit card companies and insurance companies, and stabilize the economy.
“I am confident that the American dream will continue,” Obama told the young man, adding that “there is not a country in the world that would not want to change places with us.” He told the woman who said she was disappointed that “there are a whole host of things that we have put in place that do make your life better,” but he quickly cautioned, “I understand your frustration.”
“My goal here is not to convince you that everything is where it needs to be,” Mr. Obama told her. “But what I am saying is that we are moving in the right direction.”
And the Clinton's are enjoying the hell out of it. I figure Hillary makes a decision on leaving the administration, and launching a primary run against Owe- bama the week after the November landslide.

Did he just love it? I mean no wonder all the women got wet for the guy, he could tell the fattest, ugliest of them that they were beauty queens and they'd believe him.
Women are easily fooled as they are emotional thinkers.

Fools, and the easily fooled, come in all genders. It seems to me that this is a woman who is in his face, not a man, and she did it eloquently, and with class!
If you think emotion has no place in the way people feel today about this man, or his administration, and how it's tearing this nation apart, then you are just as cold, and heartless as that POS who laughed at her. jmho!

True, there are many men, like War, who are emotional thinkers.
Also, the woman was a plant.
I guess you're an emotional thinker for not spotting that Murron!

Thanks for the PING dipshit.
Remind me again how a Boy Blunder policy in 2008 was the fault of Obama. Remind me again how FNMA purchasing HFC loans without the knowledge of their overseer was Obama allowing them to do so. Remind me again how HUD changing the rules in 2004 was the fault of Clinton and Cuomo.
HUD authorized FN/FM to purchase sub-prime mortgages of a very narrow type that actually converted to prime loans with a 3 year payment history. What the Voice article claims as fact - that Clinton's HUD allowed FN/FM to include non traditional exotic loans is 100% false. IN fact, HUD in 2000, told FN/FM not to purchase those loans and that any previous purchase were not to be included as subprime on their balance sheets.
Indeed, in March 2000, HUD had acknowledged that the new goal-driven pressure on the GSEs might "warrant increased monitoring and additional reporting." But when the final rules were adopted in October, that momentary caution had been abandoned: "HUD is not establishing any requirements for additional data to carry out this rule." The report explained that the GSEs "objected" to information mandates "related to their purchases of high-cost mortgages," so HUD decided against imposing "an undue additional burden." HUD would have no way of telling how abusive the low-income mortgages it was mandating might be.
Regardless of HOW HUD required the GSE's to report - which is what your above paragraph outlines - it issued strict guidelines as to what it could purchase.

Even IF that were the case, Clinton and Cuomo set the precedent for the GSEs to act as rogue agencies through a purposeful lack of oversight. What good are standards when you have made it clear they won't be enforced?
That's an unsupported assertion and even if it were shown to be true, the subprime crisis began 5 years into your hero's term of office.
And since your assertion relies on the fact of HUD's regulatory authority over the GSE's then you underscore my long held contention that the regulatory apparati of the Boy Blunder regime had long gone on a Soma Holiday.
