Fellow Americans and community organizers,
So glad to see all of you people here tonight! I apologize for moving the location inside, unfortunately the turnout was drastically lower than we expected, so a smaller venue became necessary in order not to make the convention look like a failure.
How do you like all the change since I became president? Increasing taxes and spending is not working and we are in a depression. Real unemployment is around 24% which is Great Depression era levels. People are losing their homes at an alarming rate. However, keep this in mind: even though it is clear that throwing more money at the problems doesn’t work, it does buy votes.
We’ve seen what has happened in Europe, as socialism has destroyed those countries’ economies. Trying to combine all the European countries into one massive economy based on the euro, like some kind of one world government, is failing. Yet we are going to continue going in that direction because it makes people feel better to think that the government will take care of them.
I had two years when I first entered office to get things accomplished with a Democrat-controlled Congress. My main accomplishment has been Obamacare. Obamacare is the biggest tax increase in our nation’s history, and includes 18 tax hikes. I have increased your taxes in order to allow government to take care of you. I also pledge to you that I will eventually eliminate the Bush era middle class tax cuts. If we can bring in extra taxes from the middle class, the government will have more money to spend on you, your family, your neighbors and friends. We must stop the greedy corporations from taking money that belongs in your pocket. That is why I am announcing a new regulation for the first time tonight that will ban corporate profits.
I’ve successfully increased the national debt more during three years in office than George W. Bush did during his eight years as president. My latest budget proposes a deficit of $1.3 trillion. My opponents say I don’t care about reducing the deficit. That is not true, I have made deep cuts in military spending and will continue to do so. I successfully ended the war in Iraq, and as soon as I can claim a victory in Afghanistan I will send our troops home. I am also asking seniors to make sacrifices in their healthcare. I’ve found a way to cut healthcare costs by creating “death panels” to pick and choose which elderly people should receive healthcare. Unfortunately my critics have attacked this wise cost-cutting measure. From here on out, I will refer to these panels as “deficit-cutting panels.”
Under my administration, we have sneaked in the United Nations’ Agenda 21 to each and every town and city. We are making great strides at transforming America from private property ownership to communal living.
When I was in Detroit last week, I had a conversation with “Ahmed,” a regular American just like yourselves. Ahmed lost his job working for Ford. He has an illness that is rather embarrassing so I will not say what it is. When the government bailed out General Motors, Ahmed was able to find work again and is now happily employed making screws for GM. The work he is doing is inefficient, and could be just as easily performed by a machine, but he now has a paycheck and healthcare benefits again. I am grateful to the unions, which stand up for little guys like Ahmed, and keep the government money coming in to prop up corporations like General Motors that consistently lose money. So not only have I created thousands of new government jobs, I have also created jobs in the private sector.
I want to make America number one. What would I grade myself on achieving this goal? We have a bigger trade deficit with China than any other country. I give myself an A grade for making us number one. I have made great strides protecting free speech. We export more pornography than any other country, over 80% of all pornography. That’s another A. We’re not number one for viewing the most porn, but we can change that, I hope. So that grade is incomplete.
This election is about a choice between two different paths for America. Do you want a president who makes it a top priority for women to fund their abortions and contraception? Or do you want a president who holds the archaic position that others should not have to pay for your procreation decisions?
We’re Americans, we belong to the government. We all help each other. No one who is successful did it on their own. Einstein, Bill Gates, Beethoven; they all had government assistance in some way. As the lady I defeated in 2008 said, “It takes a village.” It all comes down to family. I fondly recall smoking joints with my grandfather in the early 1970s. We had some deep, meaningful conversations.
I want to thank some community organizers who have helped me and given me hope. Saul Alinsky, Bill Ayers, Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Van Jones, Nancy Pelosi, Rev. Al Sharpton, Michael Moore, A.C.O.R.N., and the Occupy movement.
I chose Joe Biden as my Vice President because I knew he could overcome his plagiarism problem. I wanted to give him a second chance at being honest. So far he has lived up to my expectations, as far as I know he hasn’t done it again since being Vice President.
We can do better. We can achieve the level of government caring and sophistication that France has. Plus, we can do it with more diversity. We won’t try to keep Islamic extremists, illegal immigrants and criminals out of the country, we will welcome them with open arms as our brothers and sisters. As our Statue of Liberty says, “Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free.” This includes those who are too tired to work and those who are so poor that we have to immediately put them on welfare. Yes we can.
I never said this journey would be easy. Our path is getting harder, because we are headed down the same path as Europe, but it will all be worth it. Let’s just keep our eyes fixed on that distant horizon, the beautiful Mediterranean shores of France, Spain and Greece.
Reads like one of her crappy legal briefs.
At least she doesn’t crap in her briefs like you do.
I am voting for Obama, because I want small government. Seems to me that the republicans want big government — police in bedrooms, legislation about gay marriage, contraception, Gestapo style document checking, draconian drug laws. And, they want to hold individuals liable for financial errors — look at the tougher bankruptcy laws the republicans passed, while giving money away to the big banks and insurance companies, and letting them off the hook for their financial errors completely. I am saying no to not holding the banks and insurance companies responsible for the financial meltdown, and no to heavy handed legislation dealing with social issues — which are an unwarranted intrusion by government into people’s lives.
ROFL! Too funny, Bill!
Let’s see, pro-spending, pro-deficit, pro-big government (czars), pro-sodomite, pro-abortion, pro-illegal alien invasion, and pro-illecit drug abuse. Yep, that’s a method Obama supporter alright. Then add politically delusional for spewing it on a conservative website like grafitti on an alley fence.
Matt Helm (obviously a fake name), you don’t know what you’re talking about. If you are criticizing Rachel for her role being brought into the racketeering case after it was filed against supervisors and judges, you are challenging the opinions of respected Congressman and former prosecutor Bob Barr, who signed an affidavit saying that the racketeering case had merit, and the opinion of Robert Driscoll, a former high-level DOJ attorney who also testified that the racketeering case had merit. I believe their opinions over some anonymous commenter who sounds like he has a grudge.
I hope that now the DOJ finished the investigation, Rachel has the ammo to repeal the sanction by the joke that is the AZ-BAR.

Wow. It is almost impossible to understate how impressed I am with this lovely little vignette.
Ms. Alexander begins her little tirade with the straightforward lie that President Obama raised taxes. She then elevates the unemployment rate to 24%. Within a few paragraphs, though, she does a triple back flip off the high diving board and criticizes the Obama administration for …… saving jobs in the auto industry. Yes, that’s right. With “real” unemployment at Depression levels, it was all wrong to save the American auto industry. Even an idiot like Mitt Romney hasn’t offered this argument yet.
What is truly disturbing, though, is Ms. Alexander’s choice of names. Ahmed. Why Ahmed, Rachel? Why not Joe or Frank or Paula or Karen? Why not even Maria or Carlos? Ahmed. Just a regular American guy from Detroit. With an embarrassing illness of some sort.
Could anyone offer me any reason, however trite or ineffective it may be, to think that there is anything, ANYTHING, to this little vignette except naked, straightforward racial hatred. Ahmed. An African American from Detroit, who could not possible be a real American, because as all good Republicans know, black people are not Americans. He’s not only got an embarrassing ailment, but he is obviously too stupid perform a real job such as building a car. He can just make screws that should be made by a machine. Lovely. F…ing lovely.
The Willie Horton Award for Racially Offensive Campaigning for 2012 goes to…….Rachel Alexander.
Sonoran Alliance finally washed its hands of Russell Pearce and his racist agenda. Now we’re treated to this crap.
The crowd that supported the Pearce-Arpaio-Thomas-Babeu racist immigration agenda wanted desperately for people to believe their motives were about law and order, not about racism. Argument failed. Credit to Rachel Alexander, Esq., for her brilliant final summation here. Racist to the core.

In response to Willie “Call me Ahmed” Horton :
“Comprehensive List of Obama Tax Increases
Three years in office, twenty-one tax hikes
Since taking office three years ago, President Barack Obama has signed into law twenty-one new or higher taxes on the American people:”

So Ms. Alexander’s statement is not a “straightforward lie” as you claim.
The poster wrote: “She then elevates the unemployment rate to 24%.”
Of course, Ms. Alexander didn’t “elevate” anything. The problem with this poster is poor reading comprehension. What Ms. Alexander wrote was that the “real unemployment rate” is around 24%. “Unemployment rate” and “real unemployment rate” are two different things. If this poster would like to debate what the “real unemployment rate” is, we can do that!
The poster wrote:”What is truly disturbing, though, is Ms. Alexander’s choice of names. Ahmed. Why Ahmed, Rachel? Why not Joe or Frank or Paula or Karen? Why not even Maria or Carlos?”
What is truly disturbing is that perhaps “Ahmed” is actually his name, or the nickname by which he is called by his friends, but you seem to have a problem with that. You can’t accept someone with the name “Ahmed”? What sort of racist hateful bigotry is that? He has to be named Carlos in order for it to be acceptable to you? Shame on you!
The poster wrote: “The crowd that supported the Pearce-Arpaio-Thomas-Babeu racist immigration agenda wanted desperately for people to believe their motives were about law and order, not about racism. Argument failed.”
First of all, the “crowd” which supported Sheriff Arpaio still supports him. They’re called “voters”, by the way. Secondly, perhaps you would like to try to prove your claims of a “racist immigration agenda”. I’m all ears! Have at it!
Have a nice day, Willie “Call me Ahmed” Horton!
