New Obama bus tour message: Pass whatever whenever — and we are the occupiers you’ve been waiting for!

Time for some classic Obama Bus Tour photoshops (more here). Yep, he’s on the road again — campaigning on the taxpayer’s dime for who knows what whenever. In the aftermath of the Senate’s rejection of his massive government jobs slush fund, the White House will now push for passage of a slew of mini-slush funds and bailouts.

Public employee unions first, of course — with a dose of “We are the Occupiers You’ve Been Waiting For.”

The Hill reports:

President Obama is returning to the road this week to press Congress to start passing the American Jobs Act, beginning with $35 billion for states to put teachers and first-responders to work.

But White House officials said Sunday that Obama will not be sending a separate piece of legislation to Congress, referring questions about the process to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) and House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio).

…The first piece Obama wants is $35 billion in aid for states to prevent the laying off of or support increased hiring of teachers, police officers and fire fighters, [WH spokesman] Earnest said.

…Earnest said that as Obama travels this week, the president will “continue to acknowledge the frustration that he himself shares” with Wall Street.

And using the popular refrain from the Occupy crowds, Earnest said that Obama will ensure “the interests of 99 percent of Americans… is well represented[.]”

At the end of the trip, Earnest said, “the message will be clear: Pass the bill this week to protect the job of a North Carolina teacher, or come down here, look her in the eye and explain to her why protecting” tax cuts for the wealthy is more important than passing the jobs bill.

Let’s hope he finds a teacher who’s actually out of work this time to promote as poster child.

    When he publicly states that he’ll refuse to accept a single donation from anybody on Wall Street and will return those he’s already received, we’ll talk about how “frustrated” he is.

    Hey, Sock Puppet — I am not and I repeat this, I am not in any way, shape or form a member of anything relating to 99% of anything you are blathering about. I am a proud and overworked and over taxed 53% er. This is not The Czech Republic or Hungary — this is 1950′s style Marxist thinking with your so called 99% and will not work here in 2011. You have 20% of the Libtard Sheep and thats it.

    Supporters of Occupy Wall Street.
    The American Communist Party
    The American Nazi Party
    The Iranian government
    The Venezualan government
    University of London Marxist Society
    The DNC
    The Minority Leader of House
    The Democrat Candidate for Senate in MA
    The President of the U nited States

    In my lifetime the Democrat Party has evolved from a Party led by a genuine hero of WWII who said “Ask not what your country can do for you,….” to a Party led by a community orgainzer who is in open solidarity with Marxists, Communists, and Nazis.

    To lighten things up, on a Monday morning, the theme song of this bus tour could be ZZTOP’s “Jesus Just left Chicago/Waitin For the Bus”.

    Obama,the One, the Messiah. Maybe “Obama Just Left Chicago”

    It’s the same thing again and again. The bus tour,the Admin. to buy votes, and add more government workers.

    Does this guy do anything, but campaign?

    I know all politicians mislead voters at least a little bit…and I know some politicians are crooked and lie all day long to whichever group they find themselves in front of.

    But I have NEVER seen such a collection of people SO obvious in their lies and hypocrisy as the modern Democratic Party! The willingness to repeat untruths in public and on-camera, when they know it can be called up and used against them, is nothing short of fantastic… Are they that arrogant, or do they think the cover they get from the MSM is all they need to get away with it? Whichever it is, the Republicans had better start learning how to use the Democrats own words against them…and soon!

    Oh, he stills asks people what they can do for their country, the problem is that he addresses that question to those making over $200k per year. He also selects the answer for them. Pay more taxes.

    I’m not suprised that the President has frustrations with WS. From what I am hearing he is not getting nearly the campaign donations from WS for the 2012 election as he did for the 2008 election.

    You know you have a problem when these Matrix pod-children can’t grasp the concept of actually paying back an unsecured loan.

    The horriffic tragedy here is that the decades-long communist strategy of coopting education and brainwashing America’s kids has actually worked. This are not stupid people. They know linear algebra, physics, chemistry, law… but when asked basic questions of finance, markets, and economics (something a farmer with an 8th grade education understands perfectly), their faces go flaccid and they get the deer-in-headlights look to the eyes. Crikey.

    And speaking of OWS the latest from the protesters is that if the charges against those arrested are not dopped they will ask for a trail in an attempt to clog the courts:

    Lawyers representing about 800 Occupy Wall Street protesters arrested in the past month demand that prosecutors drop the charges.

    If not, they say they won’t deal and will insist on going to trial – putting pressure on the already overloaded Manhattan criminal courts.

    That bus tour is why I dislike Obama personally though I might agree with some of his policies.

    The press under reported the record four month Missouri River basin flood. National politicians including Obama ignored us.

    Obama was riding his tour bus in eastern Iowa and he refused to make a token trip to our flood area.That showed his disdain for people like us.

    He is working for labor unions and the nearly half of the people who pay no income taxes. The rest of us can fly a kite.

    I think everything you said makes alot of sense except the above statement. Which of his policies do you agree with? I’ll admit I’m surprised about his stance on terrorism and the wars, but that’s just a continuation of Bush policies. I guess by keeping them you could say they’ve become his policies though. That would be the absolute only thing I could say I agree with. All of his own policy is a complete disaster.

    Following the “Bush policies” is nothing more than cynical, tactical maneuvering.

    The socialist America-destroyers know that they cannot do every last thing that they want to do all at the same time.
    Sort of the same idea as two steps forward, one step back.

    The Universities and the Federal Government are in bed together.

    A college education isn’t a Right under the Constitution. The Dems love funding higher education so that the Universities can churn out more Dems.

    Oblamer flew into Asheville,NC this morning and spoke to about 2000 worshipers. I wanted to be in the mall parking lot across the interstate from the airport to get some pics of them unloading the buses from the transport planes, but I missed it. I guess you had to have a ticket to know the time.

    Pass the bill this week to protect the job of a North Carolina teacher,

    Where’s the part of the bill that helps to create a job that isn’t for a teacher or public service employee that contributes to a UNION? Olamebrain never seems to recognize that there are MILLIONS MORE people out of work that are NOT teachers, policemen, firemen or construction workers on infrastructure projects–the people businesses would call overhead. He just wants more stimuslush money to create his ground army temporary jobs on the taxpayer dole to steal buy votes for his re-election.

    If the free market was allowed to operate freely and create real jobs to put the other millions and millions of unemployed Americans back to work, there’d be plenty of money to hire a reasonable number of teachers and public service employees–and then reform get rid of the taxpayer dole.

    re: my first comment #28,

    That “2000″ number was from the local lib paper`s w/s. A caller to the local talk show was there. He said the actual # was more like 500 max., incl. reporters and security. Fascinating.

    The host read the transcript word for word, in his best Mr. Rogers voice, because it really did read like a put down of the “toothless, uneducated rednecks” he thinks live here. Then he read the transcript of the audience, the first several responses were “Booooos”! The transcripts were the “official releases” from the WH.

    Then the pRes. stopped a few miles down the road and bought BBQ – to go.

    Everyone knows that this phoney “jobs bill” is just more stimuslush for unions and dem elections. No one seems to mention that what little money might actually go toward hiring teachers, firemen and cops, it`s only for one year. After that, it`s up to the locals to pay their salaries.
