Hume: Obama Cares More About Social Justice Than The Economy

Posted by Ellen -7859.80pc on February 12, 2013 · Flag

Brit Hume visited The O’Reilly Factor last night for what purported to be a preview of President Obama’s State of the Union address tonight. But, as is almost always the case with Fox when the subject is Obama, the real purpose seemed to be a pretext for taking shots at him. In this case, Hume suggested that President Obama is more interested in "income equality" for those 47% takers than in creating a good environment for the makers.

After suggesting that the only reason President Obama won re-election was because of the “great job” he did getting out the (takers’) vote, Hume said:

Will (Obama) make the long-awaited, finally make the long-awaited pivot to the economy? The buzz in Washington over the weekend has been that he’s going to pivot to the economy… because it’s still weak. I’ve had a suspicion for a long time, Bill, that this president isn’t really, is not really very interested in or by the economy. I think he doesn’t really fully understand it. I think that he’s much more preoccupied with equality of opportunity or even equality of income and with social justice than he is with the growth of the economy. And if the economy’s bumping along at one or two percent growth, that may be good enough for him and I don’t think he’s going to go out of his way and adopt any policies that aren’t completely comfortable with him to try to boost the growth and I think that’s a big issue that will haunt him and his party for some time.

O’Reilly didn’t disagree. He said he  “would be surprised” if Obama spends a lot of time on the economy “because he’s got the guns and the immigration stuff right where he wants to have them as far as hammering the Republicans on them.”

Hume: Obama Cares More About Social Justice Than The Economy

The Stock Market is about 14000, the banksters and big business can borrow money at about 0% interest, and none of those banksters who defrauded the entire Country are in jail.

Yeaa Hume, the President is really crippling those poor Capitalists. Hume can’t possibly be that stupid….can he?

Hume says Obama is "more preoccupied with equality of opportunity or even equality of income and with social justice than he is with the growth of the economy.

Well, I say, the GOP doesn’t care about social justice any more than it cares about the economy. Why do I say that? Well, I’m just going by the GOP’s actions (or inaction, as the case may be) in Congress over the past 49 months.

Now, between the two of us, who do you believe presents the more accurate statement?

Kent Brockman:

“Wanna hear what the POTUS has to say? Just watch Fux. we’ll tell ya what we Know is the real deal.”

I was going to watch tonight, but don’t have to, thanks to Swami Slanthead as he opened his radio rant this afternoon.

Hater-in-chief Hannity got an advance look at the text and concluded (for the 10,000th time) that the Obama is “the most divisive president” in our history.

Seanny even managed to download audio clips from the future, and played a montage, highlighting of course, “dirty air and water,” “kids with autism and downs syndrome…”

And what kind of syndrome do you have Hannity? Maybe being the vile scumbag on Amerikan airwaves!

Dear GOP/Fox,

Please Please keep this limited scope of thinking throughout the next elections. You lost the last one bad but who learns from his/her mistakes?

Stay the Course & Keep the Faith!
Sincerely,
All Decent & Intelligent People

Most people would wait for our President to give his speech before critiquing it. But most people ain’t Shit Fumes and Fux Noise. Bashing our President is their 24/7 mission.
