Deploying the rhetoric of class warfare against congressional Republicans, Champ warned Wednesday that "social tensions will rise" if Washington doesn't take steps to reverse the growing gap between wealthy Americans and the middle class.
The only rhetoric Champ knows.
In a campaign-style speech at Knox College in Galesburg, Ill., the president proclaimed that America during his presidency has "fought its way back" from a recession and called on voters to "pressure Congress to invest in our future" by spending more on such items as education, clean energy and infrastructure.
"Invest" = regime codespeak for more TAXES.
If congressional Republicans resist his plans, he said, the nation's social fabric will begin to fray as resentment builds among lower economic groups.
Begin to fray ?"
The position of the middle class will erode further," Champ said. "Inequality will continue to increase, money's power will distort our politics even more. Social tensions will rise as protected groups various groups fight to hold on to what they have, start blaming The Man somebody else for why their position isn't improving. That's not the America we know."
The address was the first in a series of planned presidential speeches on a common socialist theme focusing on fear and intimidation the economy as Mr. Obama sets his terms for looming battles this fall with House Republicans over spending priorities and raising the country's debt limit. It was also an attempt to breathe new life into his second term, which has been sidetracked by phony scandals including surveillance by the National Security Agency and abuse of power by the Internal Revenue Service.
Campaign themes again.
