Sen. Hatch: Obama Traded ‘Hardhat’ For ‘Hipster Fedora’ and ‘Double Skim Latte’

Speaking in Congress about energy policy, veteran Utah Senator Orrin Hatch accused Obama of favoring wealthy, liberal “urbanites” over blue-collar Americans by saying: “President Obama has traded in the hard hat and lunch bucket category of the Democratic Party for the hipster fedora and a double skim latte.”

“The president is putting the preferred lifestyle policies of wealthy urbanites ahead of the needs of blue-collar and union workers and middle-class Americans.”

    Gee I thought Orin Hatch was above using coded racism. Republicans racism always amazes me.

    The only reason these ridiculous class warfare arguments can be made is because our Government has engaged in Unconstitutional practices. It is not the role of our Government to engage in socialist collectivist agendas, they’re not to be picking winners and losers in the world. America was based on voluntarism, not fighting over monopolized power to give you an edge. Orrin Hatch can be convicted of the same. He voted for the Auto and Bank bailouts, and he supports Sarbanes and Oxley- a small business killer. http://www.hatchrecord.com

    The democrat (socialist party) was in power for over 50 years and formed what is now call the federal bureaucracy. This bureaucracy has to be fed, tax revenues go up as the price of gas goes up (ie,no pipe line). Do you really think that as long as we have the socialist party and this large bureaucracy the price of fuel will come down.

      As a Republican State Delegate in Utah I voted to get rid of Sentaor Bob Bennett because, well, he was corrupt. We are planning on doing the same thing to Senator Orrin Hatch.

      It amazes me how “conservative” someone becomes when they are facing the delegates and citizens of their home state. It’s time for Senator hatch to come home.

      I had a 35-minute conversation with Senator Hatch at the convention last year and he avoided my question by giving me a disertation on the Supreme Court Justices. A true politician!

      It all really comes down to this, “When injustice becomes law, resistance becomes duty.” ~ Thomas Jefferson ~

      We all need to ‘resist’ the corrupt politicians, get them out of office and do what we can to save our REPUBLIC and our CONSTITUTION. We, the people are the ones suffering and being oppressed by our government. We have to be the ones making the changes at the conventions and the ballot boxes.

      Senator Hatch is a RINO. We don‘t want RINO’s. We want true American conservatives who understand the Constitution and know that we live in a REPUBLIC and not Iin a democracy.

      Both parties are corrupt with the exception of a very few souls. When will we have someone with real courage, like Lord James of BlackHeath, stand up and call a spade a spade?

      This nation is heading for the crapper and fast. It will take GOD, Almighty and true Americans to keep this from happening.

    Working class Whites will be fleeing the Democrat Party in droves as they realize the Democrat Party both despises them personally and is opposed to their interests politically.

    Whites are quickly becoming minorities all across America, and within the Democrat Party itself, and losing their jobs and traditionally White communities to both illegal and legal immigrants.

    Democrats are also enthusiastic supporters of “affirmative action” and “diversity” legislation which is basically just anti-White Male discrimination.

    Myself being a White Male and a former leftist, I certainly wasn’t pleased with my race being constantly demonized and belittled by the cultural Left and discriminated against by the political Left.

    It seems quite clear to me that the American political divide will become even more divided based on race in the next couple decades as the Republican Party becomes almost exclusively White and the Democrat Party almost exclusively brown. And I think the Left is perfectly fine with that since they’re making sure that we Whites quickly become a racial minority…

    if you actually watch/listen to the video, you’ll see that Hatch is spot on. This is about Pres. Obama rejecting the Keystone Pipeline. A decision that is fueling oil speculators and thus oil prices and ultimately costing us more jobs.

    We have got to primary all of those old geezers out of the Republican Party. They have been there much too long. To them, corruption and bribery from lobbyists is a way of life. They think it’s right, because it’s the only life they know. And it made them filthy rich, so they don’t have to care about US anymore. TEA! (Taxed Enough Already).

    To tell the truth I always liked Mr.Hatch. No scandals and moderate Republican. The times have changed and this gentleman won’t be able to change with the times. When he first went to D.C. the rule of the day was work with the opposition and get things done. You know, pass some bills, spend some money, raise some taxes. Let’s get something done.

    Like I said times have changed. Mr. Hatch was a good man for the 1960′s but his time has passed. The dem libs think only of themselves and the social agenda they want to impose. We need conservatives that have the opposite agenda.

    The way I see it there is no working with the dem libs, it’s their way or no way. Actually, I want a conservative representative that feels the same way. It’s our way or no way.

      It does not matter who you vote for it has all been fixed. Tea party got good people in but they can’t do anything. See only certain people are allowed to run. Sometimes the media can‘t convince the people and one slip’s in. Unlike his brother‘s JFK want’ed sound money like Ron Paul. Look into it.Certain family‘s who have most of the wealth run thing’s in this world and have for a very long time.What island does the fedral reserve bank sit on? Who owned that land? Who own’s it now? A little hint the closest advisor to the Queen of England. This is one of those family’s at the top. Rothchilds.London the vatican and the district of columbia( washington D.C.) country‘s within country’s their own flag’s and laws.. WHY? Better wake up take a long walk back and turn around and look at the big picture..

    “The president is putting the preferred lifestyle policies of wealthy urbanites ahead of the needs of blue-collar and union workers and middle-class Americans.” Hatch is wrong about the unions,the Marxist POS prefers union members above everyone,they along with the msm put the Marxist in power.

      Hatch is in his 80′s a RINO clearly detached from reality a big government tool poster child for term limits.The framers didn’t intend for people to be lifelong politicians,they get drunk with power and money and that’s why most of them stay in office for life.Some will say vote em out I say most Americans have the attention span of a gnat and could care less about politics until it affects them directly and it will very soon.
