Obama, Pelosi Are Top Targets At Values Voter Summit

By Kyle LaFleur— Talk Radio News

Crisitism of President Obama and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) were at the top of the list for those who spoke during the morning session of this year’s Values Voter Summit in Washington, DC.  

“The President and his fellow-travelers in Congress implemented the most anti-growth, anti-investment, anti-jobs measures we’ve seen in our lifetime,” said former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney (R).

“He called it ambitious. It was reckless.”

Romney, a candidate for president in 2008 who many assume will run again in 2012, was joined by a number of Tea Party darlings including fellow 2008 candidate and former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee (R), Reps. Mike Pence (R-Ind.) and Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.), and Sens. Jim Inhofe (R-Okla.) and Jim DeMint (R-S.C.).

“Mort Zuckerman wrote this year in June, that he said that Barack Obama seems to be uncomfortable leading other nations,” said Huckabee, “I think Mr. Zuckerman is half right, and half wrong. I think the real issue is that he is uncomfortable leading this nation. He treats the White House like an ivory tower and for all practical purposes a classroom experiment.”

The conservative speakers assailed Obama and Democrats in Congress for their handling of the economy, and the BP oil spill, as well as upcoming votes on the New START Treaty and a repeal of the military’s ‘Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell’ policy.

Inhofe told members of the audience that they must take action to prevent Congress from doing away with DADT.

“A lot of people feel that you can’t stop it,” he said. “But you can stop it. And when you’re doing it you’re not doing it for me, you’re not doing it for you, you’re doing it for these kids, the next generation.”

Among those scheduled to speak later today are conservative cable host Sean Hannity and surprise Delaware Senate nominee Christine O’Donnell (R).
