President Obama looks to tap populist anger

Some Democrats just wanted the president to get mad.

But through it all – a global meltdown, 10 percent unemployment, mega-buck bonuses – President Barack Obama resisted feeding the wave of populist anger sweeping the nation.

Now, with the mood in the country souring against Democrats, Obama is picking up his pitchfork — trying to harness that popular angst and turn it to the Democrats’ political advantage.

Already some strategists are asking, “What took you so long?â€

Does the man have a clue that the anger is against him and his party? Apparently not.

Does this reporter know?

What idiots!

Populist anger does not just mean you are angry and you can tap it by acting angry.

That's ludicrous.

Obama is not a populist, never was, never will be.

Obama is a Globalist, a liar, a cheat, a charlatan, and actor, and his only job is to lie to Americans for as long as possible while his masters continue their plans to destroy America and enslave our citizens.

These elitists are so full of themselves that they think they can still pull of their magic and have their actor Obama change his script and suddenly people will follow him again.

Major miscalculation.

The revolution has begun and no script change or patronizing anger is going to save the Obama and McCain Cabal.

While taking on the Wall Street bankers and their big bonuses, has B.O. mentioned the big bonuses paid to Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae execs. And they have not paid one dime back. Moreover, B.O. just sent them several billion more. So, how much are FM and FM going to be taxed? (I am thinking of a number somewhere between 0 and 0).

He's got the whole Whitehouse screwing us over behind the scenes. Why would he be mad? Every time the TV is clogged with Haiti, planes going down or funerals, he and his Comrades are VERY busy little Commies. They intend to ruin America.
