Perry: 'Obama grew up in a privileged way... he has never really had to work for anything' Read mor
Republican presidential candidate Rick Perry has taken a major swipe at Barack Obama's upbringing, arguing that the President 'grew up in a privileged way' and has 'never had to really work for anything.'

The Texas governor declared that Mr Obama does not understand the plight of the country's 14million unemployed because he has 'never had to go through what Americans are going through'.

Mr Perry, who has fallen behind in the polls in recent weeks, was responding to a question from Fox News' Sean Hannity about the President's recent comments on foreign investment.

1. Oh, THAT'S USDA Choice for you!
Yo, Perry - KISS MY HAIRY ASS!

The sad thing is that we allowed the shrub's circus handlers to steal two elections so it is disturbingly possible that Perry could do the same. "This election is brought to you by Diebold - protecting America from Democracy".

15. I have one on a magnet. I bought a large sheet of magnetic backing.
Edited on Thu Nov-17-11 07:30 PM by HopeHoops
I mount the bumper stickers on the magnetic sheeting so I can swap them out as I want. I think I got it from custom-magnets.com but I'm not sure. It was a reasonable price for a roll and it cuts with regular scissors. The bumper sticker I don't remember where I got. I'll try to find it and send you the link.

On Edit: My eldest daughter got a small sticker that said "Just Wear It" with a condom background. I had that on the van for a while (in an erect position) but somebody stole it. That's the downside to using magnets. Maybe they stole it because they like it or maybe they stole it to throw it away. I don't know. I want another one.

17. Good I idea
I think who ever stole it stole it may have just had to have it for themselves and had no respect for others property

Come to think of it I have some of that clear cling paper you can use in your printer and make your own stickers with. If I can find it that is. I seen it not too long ago so it can't be too far down in the pile
Now to figure out a good way of putting diebold, protecting us from our democracy or whatever without so many words. HELP

2. He's obviously confusing Obana with Bush....he couldn't possibly be
telling a lie to the Fox news viewer, could he? If a Democrat told lies about Republicans like this, we'd call him out on it. The rubes that vote Republican apparently are OK with being lied to.

14. In the America I know I guarantee you that he's had to work for what he has
a lot harder than any of the present crop of congress critters. The civil rights laws mean something to only a few of the Assholes in this country even too today. (Thats Asshole with a capital letter too.) Some of these old white men have a problem with uppity black men who make something of themselves and show a little swagger when they're only doing as the bigots say, pulling himself up by his own bootstraps. Yes Mr President knows work

For the record I'm German, Cherokee, English and Irish, in that order, and look the part of the asshole old white man I speak of even though I'm not one of them.

4. We're going to hear Obama's "We got a bit lazy..." out of context for attack purpses AD NAUSEUM
I got so angry listening to what Mitt the Windsock and Gov Goodhair did with that. I got even angrier when I realized that thousands (if not millions) of people are going to be suckered by it.

5. President of the Harvard law Review. That's almost crazy to take that on
the way I understand it. No, it's not tough enough to make it through their law school, I think I'll pile more work on myself and get on the Law Review! Then end up running it? That's no slacker there. I wish he were doing more of what I want but you can't say he took the easy route.

11. It's just a title...
You know, like POTUS is just a title... and a Harvard diploma is just a piece of paper... according to my TeaBaggy cousins anyway.

19. They don't want to play around with the grades thing with Obama.
He'll work that masterfully and they don't know what they're getting into. I can see him offering to release the grades and compare them with whoever the Republican nominee is. It's probably safe to say he blows any of the likely winners out of the water.

8. Oh dear
Rick Perry's brain has finally fled his empty little head. It will undoubtedly find a far more hospitable environment wherever it goes. Godspeed, little brain. May you find your rest at last!

10. Let's remember that this is a bad trait when the inevitable nominee Mittens defends being born rich.
Oh, yeah, and powerful.

18. So Obama grew up sitting by the pool waiting for his dividend check to arrive?
Edited on Thu Nov-17-11 07:50 PM by aint_no_life_nowhere
Obama must be one of those job creators the Republicans worship. Rick Perry is driving me nuts, trying to understand him. Wouldn't the Republicans consider being born privileged to be a good thing?
