But he may be huffing airplane glue out of a brown bag... President Obama on Friday kept up the pressure on Republicans to agree to revenue increases in a deal to raise the debt ceiling, claiming 80 percent of the public supports Democrats' demand for tax increases. "The American people are sold," Obama said. "The problem is members of Congress are dug in ideologically." Does he honestly expect rational folks to believe that tall tale? Maybe 80% of the illegals he has let stream in here unfettered.....
Here's what Il Dunce' said immediately after claiming that Republicans are exposing us all to "Financial Armageddon"... "We don't need a balanced budget amendment. We simply need to make these tough choices and be willing to take on our bases. Everybody knows it. I mean we could have a discussion right here about what the numbers look like. We know what's necessary. Here's the good news: It turns out we don't have to do anything radical to solve the problem. Contrary to what some folks say, we are not Greece. we are not Portugal. It turns out that our problem is we've cut taxes without paying for them over the last decade," President Obama said at his press conference on Friday. Not one word about spending. Not one. This goofball is either in complete denial or really that stupid.
The list is well, it is whatever the writer with your interpretation intended it to be, but his analysis is absurd if that is the gist of it.... I will just lay our the simple facts of the federal budget as published by the White House Printing Office.....and include a link for you to peruse in your spare time.... The largest deficit in any single year during the Bush administration was $459 billion in 2008. The average budget deficit over his 8 year term was $250 billion. The total deficit - and therefore additional debt - over his 8 year term was $2 trillion. The average deficit of the Obama administration has been $1.4 trillion - almost 6 times the size of the prior administration. The largest thus far - I should add - was $1.6 trillion in 2010 - over 4x the prior administration. The total deficit thus far after only 3 years is $4.2 trillion - adding nearly double the total amount of additional debt.....in less than half the time - only 3 years. The largest federal budget during the Bush administration was $3 trillion and average expenditures over his term were $2.4 trillion. The current federal budget under Obama is $3.8 trillion, a full 30% above the highest of the prior administration and has averaged $3.7 trillion, more than 50% greater than the Bush administration and has never been less than $3.5 trillion, almost double the $1.9 trillion of the smallest Bush era budget. Have your numbers-challenged, lefty pal from the Times give me a call and he and I can review the federal budget numbers together..... Here's the link.....do yourself a favor and have a look. There is a helluva lot more facts here on one page than what you find in the entirety of those socialist blogs you often use for reference purposes.... http://www.gpoaccess.gov/usbudget/fy11/pdf/hist.pdf I'm not sure where you want to put that, but you may smoke it if you like....the facts shall set you free comrade.....have at it. But I will warn you, it's ugly and you may want to vomit......
It's clear that we have zero chance of coming out of this in any reasonable semblance of fiscal health so long as he is in office.....may God help us. .....and we'll continue to have the masses either incapable or unwilling of putting forth independent thought blindly believing the rhetoric they spew forth......
If you tax everyone making over $250K 100%, eliminate Medicade entirely and move the retirement age for SS to 80 effective immediately you wouldn't scratch the surface of the debt Obama has run up. Here's a joke for Tom..... Sitting together on a train was Obama, a Texan, a little old lady, and a young blonde girl with large breasts. The train goes into a dark tunnel and a few seconds later there is the sound of a loud slap. When the train emerges from the tunnel, Obama has a bright red hand print on his cheek. No one speaks. The old lady thinks: Obama must have groped the blonde in the dark, and she slapped him. The blonde girl thinks: Obama must have tried to grope me in the dark, but missed and fondled the old lady and she slapped him. Obama thinks: The Texan must have groped the blonde in the dark. She tried to slap him but missed and got me instead. The Texan thinks: I can't wait for another tunnel, so I can slap the **** out of Obama again.
And therefore which way was Bush trending? And the lack of revenues vs. the need for some recessionary emergency spending came as he was slinking out the back door.
Deflect, ignore, posture, campaign.....deflect, ignore, posture, campaign.....repeat twice and rinse A great solution to problem-solving for a chief executive and the lack of solutions always builds a great resume'......tick, tick, tick Do you realize that just today and today alone, Mr. Obama has deficit spent his way to adding another $4.4 billion in debt - yes, just TODAY. It's taken my 2 minutes to type this post....during that time Mr. Obama has deficit spent his way to an additional $6 million in debt....correct, $3million every minute that he and his comrades/mindless lemmings deflect, ignore, posture and campaign.....wonderful, just wonderful. Congrats...

In truth I do not....my view is that he is simply a hard-core liberal progressive ideologue who was as poorly suited to ascend to the office of the chief executive of the world's largest enterprise as has ever been voted into the job - and it is above all else the job of Chief Executive. There is nothing, nothing is his resume, background or skill-set that would suggest that he has the executive experience or ability to be the leader that is required to perform the functions of his office......as such his bias will always be towards his ideology and as a politician first will always defer controversial leadership decisions to somebody else or not at all.....see "stimulus", see budget, see defict reduction, see debt ceiling....where is the Chief Executive's plan? An honest question..... That was about 2 minutes, or an additional $6 million.....tick, tick, tick
