Why did Obama lecture Americans complaining that we are too " greedy " ?

GOP CLOWN SHOW: I love how you ALWAYS ask for a source, but don't offer one in rebuttal that refutes the claim the person who is asking is making. You would also not ask for a source if this was about George Bush or one of the Republican candidates who is supposed to be the epitome of wealth and their exploitation of it.

It was said George Bush would ask for a Peanut Butter and Grape Jelly sandwich at some of his parties, where they served up expensive Chef prepared meals for his distinguished guests. So I ask you who is the clown and who is the person making a mockery of the middle class man who works his azz off for a living? Who are the people has become Obama's newest enemy to exploit as the one who takes from the poorest of Americans, wait for it........THE MIDDLE CLASS!

This is what you call fair eh? There are far more RICH DEMOCRATS than there are Republicans, but I guess you don't have the courage to investigate that for yourself.........................

We're getting in the way of all the wealth he wants to steal...er, uh...accumulate.

You definitely need to tone down the size of the vehicles you drive. Get rid of the petrol guzzling cadillacs and drive small fuel efficient cars.

Heating is a basic human right. You need to stay warm to keep alive.

The minimum wage in the USA is pitiful and unlivable. The minimum wage in Australia is $15 an hour and the first $6000 of income is tax free.

Glad we don't have nuclear power stations in New Zealand. I thought nuclear power was meant to be cheaper than hydro dams and wind turbines. Maybe start looking at alternative power solutions.

I just got my summer monthly power bill in New Zealand and it was $79 (inclusive of GST).

Why are you unable to provide any proof that he called Americans greedy? I searched and could find no evidence of it. Did you complain that Bush spend 5 times more on his airplane trips to Crawford than Obama's vacation cost? http://www.politicususa.com/en/cost-obama-christma...

Does asking "questions" about irrelevant things when we have major problems with the country help you maintain your hatred? Or is this Rush's talking point for the day?

If you are so upset at the way we run our country you are free to leave.

its not the united states average middle class that are "greedy" he is wrong!

its the banking oligarchy and world depotists that are the greedy people. the very people he gave 15 trillion dollars too.

its the politicians that got caught in the Gun trading scandal with mexico. its people that would sell out fellow americans for filthy lucre in the 600 to 900 trillion bank dirivitives embezzlement that politicians obligingly repealed Glass stiegel to allow it to happen.

Most people in america would give their last dollar or dime to the salvation army red bucket, if they had it, or to some other charity if they believed in it.

the president sits on capital hill divided from the financial depression of 21st century, so he doesnt know a damn thing about whats going on

$ 4,000,000 !??!?!?!

We could have used that money to prolong the War in Iraq for an extra 15 minutes!!!!!

WHAT A WASTE!!!

oh pull up your boot straps and eat your peas, Obama knows best.

he didnt. Top contributor ? most have a lot of accounts

Hes the president. His Job is way more stressful than most peoples. he deserves nice things.

Imagine having a job where a whole country is pissed at you and watches your every move....and on top of it most things aren't even your fault.

and yes Americans are greedy..We consume more energy than China which has like 700 million more people than us. We could definitely afford to slow consumption.
