Obama: Americans Have Been 'A Little Bit Lazy' Over The Past Few Decades

Republicans Attack Obama For Delaying Pipeline Decision Until After The 2012 Election

President Barack Obama said America has "been a bit lazy" over the past few decades at attracting international business. "But we’ve been a little bit lazy, I think, over the last couple of decades," he said at CEO summit at the APEC meeting in Hawai'i. "We’ve kind of taken for granted — well, people will want to come here and we aren’t out there hungry, selling America and trying to attract newbusiness into America."

Google CEO Eric Schmidt, who was participating in a CEO summit at the conference, told reporters he would not use the term lazy — but said the trend Obama was pointing to is hardly new.

The White House says Obama was not criticizing the country — just isolating a problem that he intends to correct.

But Republicans are jumping on the remark — with Gail Gitcho, GOP front-runner Mitt Romney's communications director, saying it's the White House that's been lazy.

"President Obama continues to blame Americans for his own mishandling of the economy. Most recently, he has called us ‘lazy,’ and has previously said ‘we lost our ambition’ and we are ‘soft.’ The American people are not lazy, Mr. President – but this White House has been lazy and soft, unable to do anything to turn the economy around."

Watch the video below:



Here's the transcript of Obama's remarks in context:

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.

But we’ve been a little bit lazy, I think, over the last couple of decades. We’ve kind of taken for granted -- well, people will want to come here and we aren’t out there hungry, selling America and trying to attract new business into America. And so one of things that my administration has done is set up something called SelectUSA that organizes all the government agencies to work with state and local governments where they’re seeking assistance from us, to go out there and make it easier for foreign investors to build a plant in the United States and put outstanding U.S. workers back to work in the United States of America.

"quick to jump"? Republicans? NOT QUICK ENOUGH.

I take it his teleprompter was broke and he went off script and said what he really thinks, again.

Obama: China’s stooge
President blames America while running economy into the ground

President Obama is overseas on a nine-day Blame America First tour. He’s ostensibly spending time on the other side of the Pacific to explore ways the United States can work better with Asian economies. Instead, he’s using his time in the spotlight to criticize the nation he’s supposed to be leading.

“We’ve been a little bit lazy over the last couple of decades,” Mr. Obama said at an Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit in Honolulu over the weekend. “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.” This is the height of chutzpah from the elected official who has done more than anyone else to undermine the competitiveness of U.S. industries. Economic uncertainty is the chief reason businesses aren’t hiring or investing in new projects. The main causes for corporate uncertainty are out-of-control government regulation, spending and taxation – problems Mr. Obama has exacerbated.

With unemployment stuck at 9 percent and an election around the corner, the president is also talking tough about China, at least a little but. “What I have said since I first came into office and what we’ve exhibited in terms of our interactions with the Chinese is we want you to play by the rules. And currency is probably a good example,” Mr. Obama huffed at APEC on Saturday. “For an economy like the United States – where our biggest competitive advantage is our knowledge, our innovation, our patents, our copyrights – for us not to get the kind of protection we need in a large marketplace like China is not acceptable.”

This rhetoric is all bluster. No steps have been taken against Chinese corporate espionage. And while Mr. Obama and Treasury Secretary Timothy F. Geithner bellyache a lot about Beijing’s currency manipulation, they have never lifted a finger to do anything about China’s practice of letting the yuan float freely, giving products from the Middle Kingdom a huge cost advantage. The reason U.S. leaders can’t make any moves against the People’s Republic is that the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has them handcuffed behind their backs, leaving our leaders diplomatically defenseless. The Obama administration has exploded the national debt to an unsustainable $15 trillion. Of that, more than $1.3 trillion is held by Beijing, which controls more U.S. debt than any other foreign government.

China’s massive U.S. debt holdings effectively give the CCP a veto over any U.S. policies that might try to force more honest Chinese practices. An America on the brink of default needs Beijing to keep buying our debt and cannot risk having the Chinese dump the U.S. bills they already have. The Obama administration likes to paint this as a partnership, or perhaps mutual interdependence, but it’s clear the rising power is in the driver’s seat, not the declining superpower. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton made this painfully obvious during her first foreign mission in 2009, when she publicly begged Beijing to underwrite the Obama stimulus package. “By continuing to support America’s treasury instruments, the Chinese are recognizing our interconnections,” she said. In other words, if Beijing doesn’t loan America more money, we’ll be too poor to by their imported junk.

The president’s approval ratings are at historic lows because voters know he’s not interested in doing what it takes to turn this nation around. The solution is simple: Washington needs to end deficit spending which makes us dependent on borrowing money from Red China to subsidize entitlement programs we can’t afford. Mr. Obama tries to talk tough, especially in front of captive foreign audiences, but talk is cheap and no one is buying his false bravado.

Who is Barack Obama?

By Mondo Frazier

There are so many things the public does not know about the man who sits in the White House. Who is Barack Obama? In my search to find out the answers I embarked on a journey that has lasted three years and counting -- and nearly made my head explode.

As usual, when Obama is the subject, Americans can't count on the progressives in the Corporate Mainstream Media (CMM) for much help. So, what's one to do? The foreign press proved helpful. Therefore, gleaned from the foreign press: a few stories which didn't rate any coverage from the U.S. CMM.

In 2005, then-Senator Barack Obama went on a mission to Russia with Senator Richard Lugar (R-IN). The newly-minted U.S. senator was invited to be part of a Russian fact-finding tour that inspected a nuclear weapons site in Perm, Siberia. The base Lugar and Obama visited was where mobile launch missiles were being destroyed under the Cooperative Threat Reduction program (CTR), which also went by the name of the Nunn-Lugar program.

What happened next -- after the inspections were over -- was at the time reported by several foreign news sources but was never reported in the USA by the CMM. The Russians detained Obama and Lugar for three hours at the airport, demanding to examine both Obama's and Lugar's passports and search their plane. Some sources reported that the Russians accused Barack Obama of being a spy.

But wait -- there's more!

According to an Italian source, the Russians did not accuse Obama of being an American spy; they accused him of being a spy for the British! The report went on to say that the incident ended up involving the White House, the U.S. State Department, and military officials, along with their counterparts in Moscow.

Strangely enough, an official report from Lugar's office about the trip never mentioned the incident. Neither did Barack Obama in 2008 when he was desperate to exhibit some foreign policy chops.

One other oddity: in the fall of 2008, Obama admitted on his Fightthesmears.com site that he had held dual citizenship with both the United States and Great Britain (the site explained that this was due to Barack Obama, Sr. being a foreign national) until 1982. Did the Russians know something about Obama's citizenship in 2005 that ordinary Americans don't know in 2011?

Another story no one has seen fit to ask about: Obama's Most Excellent Pakistani Adventure.

In the summer of 1981, 20-year-old Barack Obama embarked on a two-week trip to Pakistan. At least what little reporting that has been done claimed the length of the trip was two weeks. The only proof that the trip didn't turn into a longer stay is that we (supposedly) have records which show that Barack Obama enrolled at Columbia University later that same summer. Of course, the public hasn't seen those records, but that's what we've been told. Anyone in doubt will be directed to Obama's autobiography, Dreams from My Father.

Obama clearly gave the impression in DFMF that he was this penniless, somewhat confused young man, in search of an identity. Obama makes sure readers don't miss the point by writing that he was forced to wear "thrift store clothing" during this time. Yet he somehow managed to find the cash to finance a two-week trip to Pakistan.

Which he never wrote about. Which in itself is odd: here's a guy who wrote two autobiographies that explored events real, imagined, and totally fictional that supposedly forged the modern-day Barack Obama from humble beginnings. That's according to the Obama NarrativeTM -- which gets most of its facts from Dreams from My Father.

Not only did a poor, nearly destitute Obama manage to afford the trip to Pakistan, but once there he somehow financed two weeks in the Lahore Hilton International. In addition, Obama was introduced to the future prime minister and president of Pakistan -- and went bird-hunting with him. Which the prime minister mentioned in the Pakistani press in 2008. There's so much more, including one question the CMM never asked Obama: who arranged all of this? For a 20-year-old nobody.

Another curious piece to the queer Obama puzzle is the connection -- which hasn't been made in the CMM (attention, Fox News!) -- between illegal foreign contributions to the Obama campaign and subsequent billions in Stimulus money to foreign companies and banks. During and after the 2008 election, accusations of illegal foreign contributions -- which flowed into the Obama campaign when credit card safeguards were disabled on the campaign's website -- were documented in the conservative press and elsewhere.

Who were these mysterious donors, and in what countries did they live? Unfortunately, due to the chicanery of Team Obama, we may never know. Fast-forward to 2009. Obama's multi-billion-dollar Stimulus is rushed through Congress, and billions of dollars in Stimulus money are doled out to foreign companies and banks. Finland, China, Brazil, and India are just a few of the beneficiaries of Americans' hard-earned tax dollars. Might these have been payoffs for those shady, unknown donations?

Bill Clinton was the first president to benefit from a foreign spoils system, but Barack Obama has made Clinton look like an amateur.

One more coincidence in shady fundraising. The lady involved with Obama's fundraising in the Caribbean? None other than Vera Baker, who packed up and hurried left the country after the National Enquirer started exploring a possible tryst between her and Obama in a Washington hotel.

Barack Obama can only hope that ObamaCare covers "extreme stress" -- because whoever on his staff is responsible for keeping track of all of the weird stuff in the president's life is definitely a candidate for burnout.

One final item involves that most elusive of documents: Obama's long-lost long-form birth certificate.

A Chicago-area activist, Sherman Skolnick, writing for a radio show/website (now defunct) by the name of Cloak and Dagger uncorked this headline on his readers. It referred to another story he'd written in 2005 -- three years before anyone in the media coined the term "birther" to tamp down curiosity about our 44th president's past. (All-caps headline in the original story.)

CLOAK'S EXCLUSIVE AUGUST 2005 STORY EXPOSING OBAMA'S KENYAN BIRTHPLACE FORCES OBAMA TO SANITIZE HIS PASSPORT FILE.

Just another day in the life of anyone attempting to pierce the shroud of mystery that surrounds our 44th president. The final result is the publication of The Secret Life of Barack Hussein Obama.

[American Patriot]

What was the story about?

I sure hope he is on food stamps soon.

[vector7]

Speaking of stamps, I almost forgot, Russia honored Barack Obama with postage stamp for his 50th birthday.

An honorable gesture usually reserved for Soviet heroes.

[American Patriot]

He won't get another four years.

He's done.

[American Patriot]

Power of positive thinking will get you what you want, Michael.

[American Patriot]

There is no Ronald Reagan, Michael. I'm sure we'd all love one.

Unless *I* run for office, there won't be one either.

[Backstop]

Tell you what.

If Zero gets re-elected, the question will be answered for sure.

[American Patriot]

Which question?

[Backstop]

Is he a Manchurian candidate?

If it happens, his second term will quite literally signify the beginning of the end for this nation.

[American Patriot]

Oh, THAT question.

Yes, yes he is. I already know the answer.

The thing is, too many people even on here seem to think that they'd rather have Obama than ANYONE that is running for the Republican ticket right now.

I think that is the most ASININE thinking I've ever HEARD. "Can he/she beat Obama?" is the second fucking STUPID question.

The Presidency isn't about "who can beat whom" - it's about who is the best man, or woman for the job.

Every, single one of the men and woman running against one another right now - right this MINUTE are BETTER in ANY respect than Obama, whether business and finance, plain old common sense, being able to deliver a speech without a teleprompter or foreign policy. ANY of them.

And people are being nit picky about it (yes, you SHOULD be nit picky about who is President but NOT at the expense of the whole party).

Cut out the lower 5-8 people, chose from the top three.

And as far as Michael saying "Cain will NEVER be President"... thats the kind of thing I'm talking about. I don't like Ron Paul and he's a kook and I hope he NEVER becomes President, but I won't say he will never become President because he has as much chance as anyone and I'll be DAMNED if I would vote Obama ever.

So if he were chosen, I'd vote for him.

[Backstop]

The thing is, too many people even on here seem to think that they'd rather have Obama than ANYONE that is running for the Republican ticket right now.

I didn't get that impression here...guess I missed it.

And I'm sure not in that boat.

ANY of the GOP hopefuls are better than Zero...that goes without saying.

I said it a while back, and I still think it's the strongest possibility: Romney is gonna get the GOP nod.

[American Patriot]

Perhaps I have misread a lot of things of late, Backstop... the folks that post the most are pretty vocal and clear on their beliefs (you included) - but even you believe Perry is way wrong for the country while Paul might be the better one. I think even you have stated something to the effect that "No more lesser of two evils" right?

Personally I think we need a strong person to stand up to Obama, but even Michelle Bachman (in last now I think?) can beat him any day of the week when it comes to policy decisions.

Beating him in the ballot box will depend on how many dead people vote this time around, little more.

Obama IS a one term President.... of this I am certain, and any one of them can and will beat him. The BEST one is Cain in my humblest of opinions (and we all know I'm not so humble) - because the man is SMART, he's run several businesses, he has been successful. He has a TRACK record on success. Obama has bupkiss. Nada. Nothing.

The man never ran shit in his life, and being the President for the last three years has proven beyond any DOUBT that anyone that voted for the man was a fucking idiot. And voted for a fucking idiot.

He might be "smart" like a fox, but he is NOT intelligent. I usually don't put down a man who is President in that respect, but honest to God, how can someone be so stupid as to say things like "redistribute the wealth" and then claim to NOT be a SOCIALIST.

Worse, he's a freakin' Marxist.

Any American that still votes for him this next time around deserves the loss of this country on their watch. The rest of us don't and will do what we can to recover but it will likely be too late for us.

I would take ANYONE of the candidates INCLUDING Ron Paul over Obama and by God America better understand that this is no longer a "choice of lesser of two evils" - this is GOOD VS EVIL.

[American Patriot]

While I don't like Romney, and don't even really trust him, IF he gets the nod, I'll vote for him.

Or Paul. Or Bachman. I HOPE it's Cain, and like Ryan I'm helping.

[Backstop]

Heard a few callers this morning say a Newt/Cain ticket would be good.

[American Patriot]

Cain/Newt, Newt/Cain. I'm good with that.
