Former Hopey-Changer to Obama at Town Hall: "Is the American Dream Dead?"

This is bad…
He’s even losing the hopey-changers.
A suffering former law student and hopey-changer asked Obama today at his town hall: “Is the American Dream dead?”
That wasn’t supposed to happen.
(AP)
Oooh. That stung.
The Washington Post Blog reported:
For weeks, Obama has been engaging in what some might call a bit of class warfare as he’s pushed for rolling back the Bush tax cuts for upper-income earners and leaving the middle-class breaks in place. This hasn’t set too well with big business. Nor have the sweeping financial regulations that Obama signed into law, which stripped some power from Wall Street and increased Washington’s oversight.
Monday’s town hall meeting started off on a sour note when the first questioner from the audience, a woman who said she voted for him, said she is “deeply disappointed with where I am now.”
“My husband and I thought we were beyond the hot dog and beans of our lives. … Is this my new reality?” she asked.
“I understand your frustration,” Obama said. He defended his administration’s efforts to help the middle class, listing achievements such as better protection for mortgage loans and health insurance for those with preexisting conditions.
But the hits continued.
A representative from the business community, Kenneth Langone, a co-founder of Home Depot, asked via a video feed for an explanation of what he sees as the administration’s anti-business stance.
Then a 30-year-old law school graduate said he’s no longer able to make the interest payments on his educational loans, much less able to have a mortgage or a family. He said he had been inspired by Obama’s campaign. But now, “that inspiration is dying away,” he said. “I really want to know: Is the American dream dead?”

Economic pain is real and spread by this administration for the express purpose of taking your freedoms away. So some of his supporters have woken up, many more will awake before November 2nd. Rat killin is coming. Can’t wait to see the LSM excuse for the mass firings of Democrats.
powder is dry.

Well, at least his Muslim brethren still love him. They want to proclaim him Grand Caliph Allbama Obama. And this time last year he got some new bling with that Nobel Peace Price thing.

Short answer is: temporarily. The good news is that America is so much bigger than this thug and our country will spring back – larger than life.

===================
Bwahahahahahhahahhhaaa
What a maroon..inspired by Obama ‘s campaign.
He deserves his nightmares, each and everyone of them. I’m sure he hasn’t learnt anything from this experience and will vote again for a marxist-communist-maoist-leninist-socialist-goon based on skin-color .

If it is, you dopey hopen-changers killed it. Thanks for nothing, m*&^*r f*&^*rs.

No Son the American dream isn’t dead, but it soon will be. But don’t blame me. Blame those damn teabaggers, George Bush, the Republicans, I’m only the President of the United States. It’s tough riding herd on all of those Czars that I created. Why just last week I had to appoint another one, an Asian Carp Czar. Those damn little fish are everywhere. Why just the other day one ate my golf ball in that water hazard on the fifteenth hole. Now normally I use a five iron to get over it, but the wind was against me so I pulled out my two iron……….Oh sorry, to get back to your original question. I’m strangling the American dream as fast as I can.

It’s more like the hopey-dopey changers. I’m waiting to see all those Obama bumper stickers come off or have a slash through them. If they were stupid enough to have voted for him, hopefully they aren’t stupid enough to leave the evidence.

“Did I do that?”
He and his enablers meant to destroy the racist, unjust private sector and they did it.

Obama’s response: “No, but I working hard at killing it”!
Neo commented:
Obama calls an end to all the “racism” stuff …
“I think when the unemployment rate is still high and people are having a tough time, it doesn’t matter if I was green, it doesn’t matter if I was purple. I think people would still be frustrated and understandably so“

I am still so amazed at how so many people fell so hard for the hopey changey jedi mind trick. Are there really that many weak minded people in this country?

She’s lost the loving feeling.

Well if Obama is going to fundamentally change America, then the American Dream will be dead if Obama has his way.
Multitude commented:
How can these people possibly ask these questions if they had done the most rudimentary level of due diligence with their candidate before they voted for him?
OF COURSE the American dream is over. The administration is intentionally targeting it to take it down. Kill it. What part of “de-development” don’t they understand from the Science Czar? Or the radical remaking of the country promised through a variety of dialects resonant throughout the administration (social justice, radical Marxism, liberation theology, anti-colonialism, American Maoism, etc.) Did they not observe the book the President carried in numerous photo ops — too long to actually be reading and certainly a visual signifier of his intentions — Zakaria’s “The Post-American World”? (a book I do recommend reading to further understand the radical intentions of this administration, given the President’s willful, intentional message).
The American middle class *is* exceptional and subsequently a target for near-certain elimination. Forget aspirations of belt-tightening, beans and franks will be beyond the reach of most. Between the Chicago Boys of the neo-conservative right and the collection of Marxists of the Progressive left, both parties want it dead. The right sees greater profits for the elites and the left sees a surge in potential for radical change. Neither wants a healthy middle class.

The Obama guys need to screen the astroturfers better. Oh, my!! If not someone might even ask why he won’t produce his birth certificate and how he paid for his elitist schooling.
cszwed commented:
Hows that hope and change feel now?
Kenny Solomon commented:
If the American dream is dead, one of the murderers is front and center in the screen-grab picture at the top of the post.
donh commented:
These hostile question sound bites made the local news ! …and mine is a deep blue state with a tightening Senate race. Nice to see a large media mutany. If many go rouge at once, the dear leader can’t march them off to a hard labor camp like he can a lone heckler.
