HATERS FROM THE 1% WELCOME
Think we'll here this from President Obama when he accepts nomination for a second term next summer?
"For nearly four years you have had an Administration which instead of twirling its thumbs has rolled up its sleeves. We will keep our sleeves rolled up.
We had to struggle with the old enemies of business and financial monopoly, speculation, reckless banking, class antagonism, sectionalism, war profiteering.
They had begun to consider the Government of the United States as a mere appendage to their own affairs. We know now that Government by organized money is just as dangerous as Government by organized mob.
Never before in all our history have these forces been so united against one candidate as they stand today. They are unanimous in their hate for me, and I welcome their hatred.
I should like to have it said of my first Administration that in it the forces of selfishness and of lust for power met their match. I should like to have it said of my second Administration that in it these forces met their master. . ."
Not likely. Those words were spoken by FDR, accepting re-nomination for President 75 summers ago in 1936. FDR didn't suffer fools easily and he relished calling them out on their destructive foolishness. Come on, Mr. President, wear the current hatred directed at a President trying to help the 99% as a badge of honor. It garnered that "traitor to his class" as his enemies tagged him, 61% of the vote and 46 of 48 states.
