Obama On Debt: I Had A Deal That 'Would Have Solved This Problem'

President Barack Obama told an audience on the first stop of his bus tour that his original deficit reduction plan could have solved the nation’s debt problem “tomorrow” but House Speaker John Boehner walked away from the deal.

“The fact of the matter is that solving our debt and deficit problems simply requires all of us to share in a little bit of sacrifice, all of us to be willing to do a little bit more to get this country back on track and that’s not too much to ask,” Obama told a crowd in Cannon Falls, Minnesota on Monday.

Maybe Obama had planned to auction his real (Kenyan) birth certificate to the highest bidder and donate the proceeds to the U.S. Treasury.

Thanks Justaham.

...his original deficit reduction plan [sic] could have solved the nation's debt problem

It involved massive tax increases and other "revenue enhancement -- and NO CUTS.

I been very frustrated that Republicans didnt do a better job exposing this lie, I have another sourced post on it I am finishing up and will post.

If Obama EVER agreed to significant entitlement cuts he would get a primary challenge. If put on the spot MOST Democrats in congress would reject it. Entitlement cuts are to these (House progressives) liberals what tax increases are to most conservatives and Obama was bluffing.

it's a disturbing pattern when such mental cases keep finding their way to the highest offices in the land.
I'm with you - you can blame the MSM for not only looking the other way, but wholly endorsing these nut jobs.
Scary times indeed.

and that’s not too much to ask,” Obama told a crowd in Cannon Falls, Minnesota on Monday. Yeah sure TOTAL destruction of this country is not much for YOU to ask. Every time I hear him say this it just upsets me. Socialism not much to ask is what he is saying.

The man lies as easily as he breathes.

He's had a lot of experience in lying according to one I.R.S. examiner.

"Barry still could not get a real job, because he was still a fraud, even with his Harvard degree in hand he could lie and take the Bar exam, but he could not work as a lawyer for a major law firm without a back ground investigation and he would never pass one. So, Michelle got Barry a job at her law firm. Barry never filed a case alone and never filed a motion. He wrote lots of memos according to the law firm where Barry worked. (I think they know Barry is a fraud and don't want to be sued by previous clients) Barry rescinded his law licenses, so as not to be disbarred for fraud. The Bar knows Barry lied on his application. Michelle also had to turn over her law license for her involvement in corruption with the Chicago mayors office. "

“We’ve seen this before (e.g.: Al Gore and his “global warming’ religion)”

Very bad example. Gore doesn’t believe in it any more than you or I do.

Evidence: Massive house, outbuildings, and gigantic electric bill that went public sometime after the election.

He travels in fleets of SUV’s to any event, including the ‘warming’ ones.

There is much more evidence if you look, but Gore doesn’t believe it for a second. He definitely believes he can SELL IT, but he’s not a buyer.

...this guy is so full of **** his ears are sinking

[American Quilter]

At this point it seems pretty safe to say that Obama is a pathological liar -- he truly believes his own lies, all physical evidence to the contrary.

Or he believes the surah in the Koran that says it's acceptable to lie to infidels in order to forward a righteous cause.

"Blame, Blame, Tax Cuts For The Rich, Blame, Blame, Extremist, Blame, Corporate Jets..."

It is hard to believe that this guy is under 40% in the polls with dynamic speeches like that. I also see that they failed to mention that the Loser in Chief generated a paltry 500 people to the event. This guy is dead man walking.

This bus tour will go down as a total bust.

... requires all of us to share in a little bit of sacrifice, all of us to be willing to do a little bit more to get this country back on track ....

All of us? What happened to the billionaires in their private airplanes?

[TexasCajun]

Now you know why the Liar in Chief never put a pen to his plan.

"Ahhhh, I had a plan. I did! ... I really did!!"

[PBRSTREETGANG]

What was the solution?

Hope?

or

Change?

[Pietro]

What plan?

Where was it published?

Where is it now?

[Eric in the Ozarks]

A fairy tail...

[Responsibility2nd]

Up yours, pal. America is (or was until fundamentally changed) the land of opportunity!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

PAL. Not pal. PAL is the acronym you are looking for.

[comebacknewt]

His base will eat it up.

I think (hope) sane America has learned to just tune out his BS though. This is his deepest pile yet.

[swain_forkbeard]

The deal would have solved HIS problem. Which was, and is, how to keep on spending while avoiding any focus on the elaphantine size of government. This, of course, is not OUR problem. Which is how to reduce the size and scope of government.

[ohioWfan]

He just makes things up in his itty bitty widdew head.....

[CodeToad]

What a liar. If he had such a deal he never presented it.
