“I know these steps won’t sit well with the special interests and lobbyists ....”

Yeah, “special interests” like TAXPAYERS and people who work for a living.

This guy is a real pantload.

Let it tank. The lower it gets the madder the stupids who voted for him as well as the smart ones that didn't get mad. Pretty soon he will have a REAL WAR on his hands and it won't be Iraq. The Revolution HAS begun. The final hour is here. This is a fight for America the likes we have NEVER seen before. Not even close to Pearl Harbor or 9/11. THIS IS IT!!!!!!

What nonsequitur garbage. I can’t decide if he’s in way over his head or if he’s completely lost his mind.

If his budget wasn't full of lobbyist and special interest input then how in the hell is it $3.6 trillion?

That’s what I thought. Thanks for the links. I’ll place a bumper sticker on my truck’s rear window, right next to my Palin sticker!

He has all the votes necessary to pass this and then some.

Anyone in Congress that votes for this insanity will be held accountable for treason. I can not, in all my life, imagine a single dem let alone a repub supporting this illegal president anymore.

“Let it tank.”

Sadly, that seems to be our best option at this point.

Zero looks he’s swapping Bush’s War On Terrorism with his own War On Capitalism.

I just bust a gut recalling those debates when he was droning on about how NOW is NOT the time to be raising taxes.

The huge tax increases could be just enough to propel the US Economic system into a second depression...all the while Zero and his cohorts will have their outstretched arms yelling “come to papa” as he is then “FORCED” to nationalize just about everything useful in the US.

THEN, he will have his FIAR America.

When idiots get criticized, they lash out uncontrollably.

I love that.

Are they idiots, or is this part of their insider revolution?
Getting the American people to vote in socialism makes it much harder to discredit and retreat from socialism/fascism...whichever you prefer to call it.

Obama wants us to sit down and shut up while he spits on the constitution and destroys the economy. I despise this arrogant gasbag.

He’s setting up a classic strawman in this supposed budget “battle.” He has all the votes necessary to pass this and then some.

Agree! There is no battle.

Just damn - it’s all about jobs and the BO budget just doesn’t appear to be addressing that issue, at all.

To: topfile I know they're gearing up for a fight as we speak. My message to them is this: So am I," he said.

Who did he run and hide behind after he said this? 14 posted on Saturday, February 28, 2009 4:12:59 PM by tsmith130

To which I say Joe Biden of course. You can't have better life insurance than an idiot like Joe. It wouldn't surprise me to know that Obama encourages Joe to go out and say this offensively stupid stuff. The more you hear from Joe-the better? Obama looks.

I quite agree with your analysis. It’s as if a sea captain, seeing a tidal wave on its way, orders the crew to drop anchor. That’s the effect of taxing “the rich” at this point.

>>>>To raise taxes on the top 1,2,5 or even 10 percent, during or soon after a deep recession, is to commit economic suicide.<<<<

I am TOTALLY convinced that this is his plan and his hope for our future.

He drives the US into an economic nuclear winter and then proclaims that this was ALL due to the greed of Capitalism and America will never go back to the failed policies of that past...then he begin the NEW USA as a State-run “Socialist” fairness loving country.

Man the life boats! They be about to sink.




Change is like the movie titanic...after the ghosts have come back to tell us everything is peaceful, now that everyone has froze to death and someone wrote a book about it.
