On Wednesday, during a visit to the University of Michigan, President Obama dumbed down his rhetoric to BuzzFeed-style name calling by saying that Republicans are offering "stinkburger" ideas that are a real "meanwich."
Obama spoke at the University of Michigan before a crowd of some 1,000 students and a limited number of reporters mainly to sell a hike in the minimum wage, pushing his theme, "give America a raise."
As CBS News's Mark Knoller tweeted from the event, President Obama slammed the GOP for its economic policies but granted that "they're not necessarily cold-hearted." Obama then went on to say that if GOP policies were deli food, they'd be a "stinkburger" or a "meanwich."
There’s just no way around this: President Obama looked America in the eye and lied.

“I will not sign a [health care] plan that adds one dime to our deficits.” — Barack Obama, September 2009
“I can make a firm pledge. Under my plan, no family making less than $250,000 a year will see any form of tax increase. Not your income tax, not your payroll tax, not your capital-gains taxes, not any of your taxes.” — Barack Obama, September 2008
“But what we will do is, we’ll have the [Obamacare] negotiations televised on C-SPAN … .” — Barack Obama, August 2008
“I will never forget my own mother, as she fought cancer in her final months, having to worry about whether her insurance would refuse to pay for her treatment.” — Barack Obama, August 2009
The depths of the president’s dishonesty are fully revealed by his willingness to dishonor his own departed mother when he falsely claimed that her health insurance company attempted to cancel her policy. Washington Times
Has he ever spoken truth?

President Obama was addressing a crowd at the University of Michigan yesterday, and perhaps in a humorous way, he made some funny statements.
He said Republicans offer "stinkburger" ideas that are a real "meanwich."
He apparently was referring to economic policies.

They tried to make this seem like Obama was talking to "normal students" but that's not true. There were a few "normal students" there but the crowd was packed with campus political operatives such as the various student Progressive orgs were there, the black student union was there, some other minority student groups were there.

Are you seriously suggesting that.....
Progressive Students are not "Normal"?
Black Students are not "Normal"?
Minority Students are not "Normal"?
If the Student Chess Club were there, would they no longer be "Normal"?

I'm not suggesting anything, I am flat-out saying that the politically active groups on campus hold political opinions not in line with the bulk of the student body.

It would seen the "bulk of the student body" is very "politically active"

Pretty much a known fact when some people get frustrated and cannot make logical points on their own agendas they use the old fallback. Name calling.

Voting for Republicans is illogical, unless you are very rich or hoping to destroy the government on purpose.
