Obama Calling "Bluff" Of Those Complaining About Debt He Created
Realclearpolitics ^ | Sunday June 27, 2010

Posted on 06/27/2010 4:19:45 PM PDT by Bigtigermike

President Obama on controlling the debt: "Somehow people say, why are you doing that, I'm not sure that's good politics. I'm doing it because I said I was going to do it and I think it's the right thing to do. People should learn that lesson about me because next year when I start presenting some very difficult choices to the country, I hope some of these folks who are hollering about deficits and debt step-up because I'm calling their bluff. We'll see how much of that, how much of the political arguments that they're making right now are real and how much of it was just politics."

Any common sense person could cut 12.5 pct of the size of govt each year for the next 4 and reduce the size of govt 50 pct in that time. It would be easy to find half of it in waste that would make the other 6.5 easy.

Saying Obama is driving up the nation deficit to unimaginable and unsustainable levels isn't a bluff, it is a fact. Now rather he sees it as good “politics” or not is immaterial...it is very bad economic.

This guy is not smart AT ALL. He is freaking stupid. Like I said anyone with half a brain knows that you cannot spend your way out of debt. Well I guess this is what we get for putting a flunky in the Oval Office.

Obama is increasingly irrational. He is not only NOT a leader. He is not even aware of his shortcomings. The dangerous part of this man is his absolute commitment to his ideology.

Independent voters in America have given us the first Marxist president (coz they got him elected).

Have we ever had such an aggressively adolescent, adversarial and petulant ManChild as President?

What POTUS goes on global televison and starts talking trash about “I’m gonna call your bluff?”

Does he not realize that to the world he is coming off as the STEREOTYPICAL UGLY AMERICAN?

Choices? He isn’t going to give us any choices, just as he never gave us choices in the last 16 months.

Wow. Such a statement shows how impossibly ignorant the child POTUS is. He has as much a grasp of economics and business as an average 5 year old.

Case in point:

Obama in Rude Denial; It's All a GOP Plot:

"Most of these people [in the Administration] have never had a real job in their lives. They don't understand a thing about business, and that includes the President," says a senior lobbyist for one of the companies that announced the charge. "My CEO sat with the President over lunch with two other CEOs, and each of them tried to explain to the President what this bill would do to our companies and the economy in general. First the President didn't understand what they were talking about. Then he basically told my boss he was lying. Frankly my boss was embarrassed for him; he clearly had not been briefed and didn't know what was in the bill."
