In fact, Rubio said Obama’s comments amounted to “class warfare,” and was, “the kind of language that you would expect from the leader of a third world country, not the President of the United States.”
GOP Sen. Marco Rubio speaking on the Floor of the U.S. Senate Thursday where he blasted President Obama’s statements at a recent Press Conference as “disappointing.” In fact, Rubio said Obama’s comments amounted to “class warfare,” and was, “the kind of language that you would expect from the leader of a third world country, not the President of the United States.”
Rubio went on:
“The bigger problem, though, is maybe the President fundamentally doesn’t understand how jobs are created. Politicians don’t create jobs. U.S. Senators don’t create jobs. Sen. Johnson pointed out jobs are created by everyday people from all walks of life that start a business or expand an existing one. And our job here in Government is to make it easier for them to do that – not harder. Threatening to raise taxes, threatening to wage class warfare does not accomplish that purpose.
Here’s what I would suggest to the President. I would suggest that we have done this before as a people in America. Things like a simpler tax code – people around here are in favor of tax reform. A simpler tax code, a manageable and sane regulatory environment, and of course, a Government that doesn’t spend money it doesn’t have. These things have worked before, and they will work again. I urge the President to lead us in that direction.”

Wild Thing’s comment……
Rubio got it EXACTLY right, and I hope he understands that to be a rising star that continues to rise, he’ll have to be this blunt. This is not the time in our country to speak softly no matter how big the stick. It is a time to speak out loud and clear of the destruction of the left and then give an answer to taking our country back.
I know it would never happen, but can you imagine a debate between Marco and Obama. OMG that would be awesome to see Marco and his paasion for America and Obama trying to keep up with all his non-answeres and his threats and arrogance. Marco would leave Obama in the dust.
The same if it were Sarah Palin or Allen West. They would have the same effect on Barack Hussein Obama.
For the reasons I’ve written here before since last month,
Perry / Rubio 2012
is the winning ticket to victory.
You hear and see stuff like this and it gives you hope. You realize that there are polticians out there who really understand how this Government is supposed to work.
Then you look at the leadership of the RNC, who should be bringing the likes of Sen. Rubio, Michelle Bachmann, Gov. Perry, Sarah Palin, and Allen West, just to name a few to the attention of the American People. The RNC should put these folks up as viable alternatives to the present Administration.
Instead they trot out Mitt Romney and Jon Huntsman, as being the best choices to defeat Obama in 2012. Unbelievable!
I just hope that, in the next 400+ days, some one in the leadership of the Republican party has the courage and sense enough to actually get behind and actively support the true Conservative politicians, and stop listening to the likes of John Mc Cain and Lindsay Graham.
Carlos, sounds good.
Sean, that is how I feel too, hearing Marco, Allen West, Sarah, Perry. etc. the conservatives, makes me feel better and like you said it gives hope.
