The Obama family has our best interest in mind.

MICHELLE OBAMA: “Barack knows that we are going to have to make sacrifices; we are going to have to change our conversation; we’re going to have to change our traditions, our history; we’re going to have to move into a different place as a nation.”

Obama with a goal? That’s like Obama with a campaign promise.

Or Obama saying anything.

He is not cutting spending and will not cut spending. He wants Congress to raise taxes and they will not. So Obama will go on spending as much borrowed money as he can get. He will leave the problem for the next president, the voters and the Congress.

Obama is the worst president in American history.

Four Trillion in 12 years?

Fine!

The next House funding bill should have $333 billion in spending cuts and Obama should have no room to bitch about it.

I’ve seen his song and dance before...

The ‘planned’ reduction will come in years 10 thru 12 after we have tripled our national debt.

Then, the ‘reduction’ will only be a reduction in the level of GROWTH

What a moroon in the W.H!!!

did he just have the audacity to say “my finely toned political instincts tell me this is correct”.

YES he had the audacity to say that. I was at the hospital with my mom, I was reading in one of the lobbies and got up and changed the channel and left. Never looked back do not no what the reaction was. At least they did not come searching for me...LOL

If the rich are taxed more, they have less to give to charity. If they give less to charity, people who need or use that charity will be in greater need. Thus they will most likely look to the government for more since they aren’t getting it elsewhere. Thus it all plays into the democrat’s plan to make more people more dependent on the government thus increasing their voting block.

I have a question for anyone who might know. My brother said that the Obamacare bill has a provision in it that in 2014, if you sell your home, you have to pay a 20% tax on the proceeds. Is this true? And if it is “defunded” not repealed, will that still happen?

It’s a simple approach that will work. The GOP House passes a separate funding bill for each federal department for fiscal 2011-12. If they so choose, they can fund the miliary at 100% of it’s current level. They can also choose to slash other departments and/or direct those departments to limit their spending on specified programs. This way it’s up or down on each spending bill and Obama can’t hold the military budget hostage in order to trade off cuts in the other departments. Let the Dem Senate and/or Obama explain why the defeated/vetoed a stand-alone Defence appropriations bill, and why they won’t approve cuts in these other bills. Make it clear that is the Dems who are shutting down government because the Dems won’t accept reasonable spending restraints. Putting everything in an omnibus spending bill lets the Dems hijack the debate.

Nice one!

The shut down stories were interesting.

Apparently, we have $14 trillion in debt and the best the MSM can come up with is if the gov’t shuts down...

People won’t be able to go to the zoo and national monuments.

Really?

THAT’S all ya got?

Shut ‘er down!
