Obama to Return to Washington as Fiscal Cliff Looms [Ignores For MONTHS, Suddenly Wants To Work]
Voice of America ^ | December 26, 2012

Posted on 12/26/2012 1:49:56 AM PST by SoFloFreeper

... Obama is cutting short his vacation in the Pacific state of Hawaii and will return to Washington to resume talks with congressional leaders aimed at reaching agreement on a deficit reduction package before the year ends.

The White House says Obama will leave Wednesday and is expected to arrive back in Washington early Thursday.

Early last week,the president said he and Republican House Speaker John Boehner were relatively close to an agreement on a compromise to avert what is being called a "fiscal cliff" -- $500 billion in mandated spending cuts and tax increases that would affect almost all American workers starting January 1.

I just hope that Boehner can wipe the tears away long enough to see that he’s got Obama by the macadamias. The Chicago Man-child wouldn’t cut his vay-cay short if he thought that driving off of the fiscal cliff would poll well for him. Unfortunately, the cowering GOP will probably give in to whatever The One demands.

“This phony piece of human debris hasn’t worked a day in his life. He is a psychopathic, lying, phony who, truth be known for a change, isn’t even an American citizen.”

“His entire retinue of freaks are a conglomeration of leftist loons, homosexuals, lesbians, ‘transgendered’ misfits as is he.”

This pretty well sums it all up; and, all the rest is just noise.

Well said...

after all even RIFed employees get to keep their current pay status for two years after the reduction in force.

That's only if they can find a slot for you to be moved into. There aren't many empty slots around which means if the DoD takes cuts, quite a few people will be out the door with nothing but a little bit of severance pay.

Regarding Reggie Love and Larry Sinclair:
According to another Gay Source, Barry Soetoro was Famous in Chicago’s Gay Community! and his nickname was “BATHHOUSE BARRY!” Doesn’t sound like a good security risk or presidential material to me!

Did you see how bad she looks today? Hair pulled back in a zulu frizzy bun(her “day” look), and a black and white really scary poofy outfit that makes her look like a court jester.
That woman is butt ugly, inside and out.

“This is a sure sign the polling has started to flip and more people are going to blame Obama.”

Like, he really cares.

It just galls me to no end that my so-called 'conservative' Rep Tom Price voted to raise the debt ceiling while someone like John Lewis or Bawney Frank voted against it.

indeed, republicans should none the less do nothing. There can be no deal to which either Obama or Reid would find palatable in any budget.

Reid in Particular would never vote on a budget simply because there is no budget that could possibly be both conservative and liberal enough to support his contradictory web of lies

The only differences between Reid and Obama, is at the end of the day Obama does not care, as long as he gets what he wants.

With whom did he return and leave the wife and kiddies there? Needing alone time for the orgy at the WH, do we?

Read somewhere he went to all of two-percent of economic meetings in last four years. The guy can’t add, can’t ...oh hell, he needs velcro shoes as he flunked Kindergarten in the indo madrassa.

Obama to Return to Washington as Fiscal Cliff Looms [Ignores For MONTHS, Suddenly Wants To Work]

I'm throwing the Barbra Streisand flag on this headline. O-Blamer just wants to get the photo-op looking like he's doing something so he and Pravda-US have real pictures of his "working hard" to avoid the fiscal cliff that he's been praying for since he first announced his candidacy in 2007.

I don't know if I'm sicker of this POS in the White House or the American public idiots that voted and revoted this bastard into power!
