Obama says Republicans talk about him “like a dog”
Posted on 07. Sep, 2010 by Leon Kennedy in Politics
At the Milwaukee Laborfest in Milwaukee, Wisconsin this weekend, President Barack Obama gave a speech regarding economic recovery; he also addressed an issue he has with his Republican critics. During his speech, the President discussed his plan to rebuild the American middle-class, and how this goal contradicted corporate, as well as Republican, interests.
The President also said that rebuilding the middle-class has “meant taking on some powerful interests — some powerful interests who had been dominating the agenda in Washington for a very long time.”
Then, in a remark which appeared to be off the cuff, the President added “And they’re not always happy with me. They talk about me like a dog. That’s not in my prepared remarks, it’s just — but it’s true.”
Some of the President’s other criticisms of the opposition party had an equally frank, if not an equally striking, tone: he said that the Republicans “drove our economy into a ditch… And then they got the nerve to ask for the keys back!”
And in further reference to the Republican’s cooperation with corporate interests, the President added: “They’d have those special interests riding shotgun, then they’d hit the gas and we’d be right back in the ditch.”
