Lazy - YouTube

Nice ad. Nice touch with the "socialist policies".

Good idea - BBA.

Remember - obama went on foreign soil to disparage Americans.

I'm sure Obama is quaking in his boots.

The whole quote:

“We’ve been a little bit lazy over the last couple of decades. We’ve kind of taken for granted — ‘Well, people would want to come here’ — and we aren’t out there hungry, selling America and trying to attract new businesses into America,” he told the CEOs who are gathered on the sidelines of the annual Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) meetings, which the United States is hosting this year in Hawaii.

“I think it’s important to remember that the United States is still the largest recipient of foreign investment in the world and there are a lot of things that make foreign investors see the U.S. as a great opportunity — our stability, our openness, our innovative free market culture,” he said.

Team Obama is airing its own rebuttal ad:

Perry: Pathetic. Drunk. Period.

There you go again, putting things into context. You KNOW the RW hates context. It confuses them .

Perry will be the GOP nominee.

Funny, whether in context or not, obama still calls Americans lazy, there is no disputing that.

Isn't it sweet how the MSM jumps to obama's aid?

Hawaii is foreign soil? The birthers were right after all!

Also, you cannot believe in American exceptionalism without believing it takes work and constant improvement to maintain. It's sad that you don't believe that our country can't achieve more.

VERY effective ad. Re-ignites the "Obama is an elitist who doesn't relate" meme, just when it was fading. The ad is dishonest, of course, but hey, this is big league politics.

I still think Perry will overcome his mistakes, and be the nominee.

Yes, I can see that the "Obama is an elitist who doesn't relate" meme has been ignited by this ad. Clearly, Perry has found the secret formula to lock up this nomination.
