Obama feasts on "Wagyu" steak, Pelosi flies off to a Rome junket, Rangel/Geithner/everyone else dodges their taxes, Dodd/Obama get sweetheart mortgage deals, but then they tut-tut and lecture use about how we have to all share in the sacrifice. What can we do to turn the tables on them and make their lives a little uncomfortable for once?

“I don’t think he’s an idiot. He knows EXACTLY what he is doing. Read Bill, the human turd, Ayer’s book...”

I stand corrected. I firmly believe that this man, Obama, has been carefully groomed and mentored to get to where he is today. His agenda is dangerous and we are seeing that proven with each passing day.

Is this a joke? Is this insanity? He just put the country in 2 trillion dollars deficit in his first month in office, going to spend 800 billions on welfare and pork and yet dare to claim fiscal responsibility?

I swear I hate Joe Biden, but I love him. He just can’t keep his mouth shut and lets his subconscious spew out all of the Dems true plans.

For certain their voters are very stupid or else they would not have been elected.

Has Obama outsourced his Press Office to Comedy Central?

Yeah, the title reminds me of one of my favorite Mr. Boffo's ... "Now I'd like to shift the focus of my presentation from 'why I was late' to 'why I have to leave early'. "

He’ll just have to gut military spending . . . along with raising our taxes through the roof. Pray, pray, pray.

The GOP is bankrupt of ideas and charisma, this will not be solved at the ballot box.

It HAS to be solved at the ballot box. We need to do whatever it takes to regain control of the Republican Party. The dems are overreaching. If we only had leaders that could take advantage of it. That is what's needed. But I agree with your assessment. It will be much harder this time to pull off a 1994.

The true cost of Porkulus is estimated to be $3.27 trillion, and that will do wonders for “stimulating” our economy to crash and burn.

The vast majority of the American people did not want the $700B TARP and the $800B Porkulus.....NOW Hussein wants to lecture us about financial responsibility???

Did I see Geitner saying there's going to be a TARP 2 worth $1.5 Trillion? Obama can say anything and the media ignores it all.

8 dollars a week and that is if you only make $ 75,000 or less.

Big defense cuts. Creative new tax increases. And lots of hot air.

Don't buy anything taxable, unless it is absolutely necessary. And then, cut down. No new cars, appliances, tv’s, big ticket items. Don't go out to dinner, or the movies. Learn to enjoy home as a stress free place. Definitely if you do not own a home, don't buy one. Deny the cash cow, it is the only recourse we have right now.

Eventually there are rallies planned, and I hope they are HUGE! Other than those things, we have to make it clear to Michael Steele what we expect. And failing those thing, revolution? Not that I want to see it, but it will be coming.

I guess this is in preparation for the first Obama budget. Methinks, this is the prelude to tax hikes to reduce the deficit.

Goofy is putting it mildly.
The inmates have not only taken over the asylum they have broke loose and are now running everything!
They truly are the definition of insanity trying to do the same thing, no matter how many times it fails, over and over expecting different results.

All you guys are forgetting that Rep. Frank said that he would cut the military by 25%. You can bet that’s going to be the first step towards “fiscal responsibility”.
