Isn't that funny -- Obama's "eat our peas" moment? In other words, you poor uneducated hicks should put down your guns and Bibles and act like responsible adults.

This from the person who has, among other things: (1) increased the national debt by 40% since the last Administration -- we'll have to repay that $4 trillion with interest; (2) created the mess called ObamaCare, when a similar program hasn't worked in Massachusetts and, according to national polls, a majority of Americans immediately called for repeal -- ObamaCare will soon have bureaucrats of the IRS, DMV, and USPS variety handling our healthcare decisions; and (3) spent nearly a trillion tax dollars (which could have been used much more productively) on a "stimulus" that further buried the economy -- one that, far from preventing 8% unemployment, as Obama claimed to get the program through, allowed unemployment to balloon to 10.2%, eventually.

Do you wonder why the president's approval ratings are so low? He's in no position to be saying that the people who oppose his policies are irresponsible.
