President had a privileged upbringing?

17 Nov

Republican Tea Party (GOTP) former front running candidate Reverend Rick Perry says President Barack Obama’s “privileged” upbringing and inability to accept responsibility makes him out of touch with struggling Americans.

“This president has never felt that angst that [the nation’s 14 million unemployed] have in their heart,” Perry told Fox News host Sean Hannity. “And I think he’s always, when he has had problems, he’s always pointed to somebody else and said it’s their fault, not mine.”

In a meeting over the weekend with CEOs in Honolulu, the President correctly described the American government and business sectors as a “little bit lazy.”

“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,” Obama said. “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.”

The Reverend’s campaign jumped on the comment, releasing a 30-second television advertisement claiming the President was calling Americans lazy. Hannity also asked Perry to comment on the president’s remarks.

“It reveals to me that he grew up in a privileged way,” Perry said. “He never had to really work for anything.”

What it reveals is Perry’s too busy suckling from big corporations to recognize the truth when he hears it, but yeah, he got him, the President’s upbringing was so privileged; unlike growing up on a Texas cattle ranch, spending the summers hunting at the family’s camp “Niggerhead”, and cheerleading for Texas A&M. But of course not everyone can earn a degree in Animal Science with a startling 2.5 GPA.

The President grew up so “privileged” his single mother only had to work multiple jobs while using food stamps to put meals on the table.

With poll numbers hovering around 5% nationally, Perry should be worrying a little more about Mitt Romney and his real “privileged” upbringing, then thinking he’s running against the President; news to the Seven Dwarves of the Crazy Eights, you’re running against Mitt, and you’ve got to beat him before you can run against the President.
