Obama Releases Spanish-Language Campaign Ad

Probably to target all those illegal immigrants his buddies at ACORN will be registering to vote (illegally) this fall.

(CNN) — Barack Obama’s campaign released a new Spanish-language radio ad Wednesday that will hit the air in battleground states with large Latino voting blocs, after mistakenly sending out an earlier script of the spot that included a reference to the Illinois senator’s immigrant father.
“Some people have power and connections. But most of us have to make our own way through life,” says the announcer in “Nuestro Propio Camino.”

That statement from the ad is an interesting one. Obama suggests that the most successful Americans only got that way because of nepotism and cronyism, where as average middle class Americans have to actually work for a living. But is that really true?
Seems to me that most rich people – though I’ll grant that not all – get rich because they’re smarter and work harder than the rest of us. And it also seems to me that politicians like Obama are trying to make it so that certain demographics in American society live at the expense of the most successful Americans.
Already our tax code amasses the vast majority of the tax burden on “the rich,” and the majority of spending our government does goes into entitlements (Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security alone combine for a bigger slice of our federal budget than anything else) that are funded by those taxes.
Meaning that “the rich” pay a hell of a lot of taxes to pay for government programs that, for the most part, benefit everyone else.
So Obama can talk about people who have to make their own way in life, but in reality he wants to pander to Americans with higher taxes on “the rich” and more government programs so that they make their way in life at the expense of others.

    “Some people have power and connections. But most of us have to make our own way through life,”

    That’s pretty ballsy coming from the party that burdened us with the “Great Society”.

    It doesn’t take a genius to see this is all about class warfare. Some people make it through life by having power (economic) and connections (Rich friends), while everyone else works hard and don’t ever get a break. The solution, a liberal solution, is take away from the rich and give to the poor, called income redistribution. This is classic, liberal class warfare, plain and simple.

    Most self-made, wealthy people are extremely focused, and log the big hours to get ahead, but that isn’t the same as being smart.

    Extremely focused, willimg to work long hours? They certainly sound exponentially smarter than you. You are willing to settle for being dead-assed broke and willing only to whine about it. Loser. How’s that anarchy thing working out for you?

    Smarter eh? I have yet to meet a single entrepreneur that was even half as smart as me…

    Smarter eh? I have yet to meet a single entrepreneur that was even half as smart as me (but they nearly all seem over-emotional, funnily enough), and I’m a dumbass compared to actual smart people.

    I am sure that nearly everybody who is wealthy thinks that they are smart, but when you are born into a fortunate position, like ol’ dubya, even being a complete fool isn’t enough to to prevent one from being wealthy, even a president.

    Well you got part of that right. Obviously you will never have the courage of an entrepeneur who often risks everything on the ventures they are pursuing. And yes, many of them are MBA graduates too.

    Proof, if you are half the proofreader you think you are, you might also have noticed that “dubya” should have started with a capital “D”, being a proper noun, and that “dumbass” isn’t an actual word either, but in your eagerness to be a troll you, you missed the point.

    Here its dun mor simpla:
    smart people > me > most entrepreneurs

    Of course there are exceptions, like Thomas Edison, but that’s why they are so noted, because actual intelligence is such a rare thing with business people.

    And I doubt my own experience is unique, you probably know more than a few moody, stupid entrepreneurs too.

    BTW, Thetoad: You weren’t using the term correctly, either! You said Rob heard one thing and perceived another. Cognitive dissonance is when an individual holds two (or more) contradictory opinions to be true. (Rob obviously held one of those views to be false!)

    wiki: stress caused by holding two contradictory ideas simultaneously.

    …like a liberal gunowner who supports the anti-gun Democrats

    Just because you hear someone intelligent use a term derogatorily, you really should find out what it means before you try to use it yourself!

    You’re welcome!

    “Obama never pulled people down as he made his way up.”

    Except for maybe his primary opponents and potential opposition party opponents who were the target of dirty tricks to get Obama elected. Oh, those people!
    Those were not the people I knew! – B. Obama

  • http://proof-proofpositive.blogspot.com/ proof_positive

    It’s “cogitive (sic) dissonance.”

    Thetodd: If you’re going to repeat what I say, try to spell it right!
    (Maybe rbb can teach you how to cut and paste?)
    It’s cognitive dissonance. (I believe I used that term last night to describe one of your fellow travelers!)

  • http://proof-proofpositive.blogspot.com/ proof_positive

    Proof, if you are half the proofreader you think you are, you might also have noticed that “dubya” should have started with a capital “D”,

    Whatever put the harebrained idea in your protein deprived noggin that I’m under some obligation to proofread and correct every error you make on SA? I already have a full time job! I ignore LOTS of spelling and grammar issues on this site. I chose to highlight some as a means of further mocking some of the harebrained commenters here. You qualify.

    “dumbass” isn’t an actual word either,

    And yet, you understood exactly what I meant by it! Pray tell, since when do slang words not qualify as “actual words”? Would they be in the same category as “your thoughts”? (Not qualifying as actual…never mind!)

    but in your eagerness to be a troll you, you missed the point.

    Some dumbass brags about how smart he is and he hasn’t yet mastered basic English. No, I think the point was made loudly and clearly!
    (Note: That I eschewed using the vernacular “loud and clear”, both “loudly” and “clearly” being adverbial, modifying the verb “made”.)

    I have yet to meet a single entrepreneur that was even half as smart as me (sic)

    That should be “half as smart as I

    Yeah. Right!

    You must have met some pretty dumb-ass entrepreneurs!

    the announcer added that “Obama never pulled people down as he made his way up.”

    Hahahaha… but, but, who are all those people he’s thrown under the bus?

  • thetodd

    Barack Obama said:

    “Some people have power and connections. But most of us have to make our own way through life,”

    Rob hears:

    (…)most successful Americans only got that way because of nepotism and cronyism, where as average middle class Americans have to actually work for a living.

    There’s a term for this. It’s “cogitive dissonance.”
