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."

And what the hell does he mean by “call your bluff”....it’s a ridiculous statement that means absolutely nothing.
Typical KGB canine unit training, with Obama as a mouthpiece. The communists are trying to train us, Obama is only a tard puppet repeating techniques and discreet jagged legal papers here and there.
Next time a government agent acts cute on me, trying to train me with his uniform or attitude or ideology, I am getting ready to shooting to kill in self defense.
This is LibSpeak for “I’m going to slash the military budget and then laugh at you hawks who complain about spending.”
Government poker.
Threatening POS!
Barack... If you had not written $3 trillion in debt in just 2 years, we would not have to make those “difficult choices.”
We have alot of rino in congress who don’t really believe in spending cuts. Obama is calling their bluff
You’re the one who has to step up and cut them Zero, duh.
Immigration
FBI
CIA
Military
Federal highways
FAA
Aid to Israel
He'll cut these things and pretend shock when Republicans hint that perhaps other areas ought to be considered.
The guy uses a skiploader and digs nonstop for months, then looks at the hole and tosses the onlookers a teaspoon and says “hey, you fill it.”
Agreed.
But please add future tax hikes up the wazoo....
because next year when I start presenting some very difficult choices
LOL!
He means that when he tries to usurp people’s Constitutional freedoms in the name of “austerity” , he dares anyone to say anything. He thinks hes putting people in a corner where if you don’t agree with HIS choices to make cuts, you can’t propose your own ideas. Same as with Healthscam-it was either his reforms or no reforms.
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.
There’s no bluff to be called, Zero, except the joke that is your presidency.
I think it's Chicago Street Talk.
ML/NJ
Exactly.
He’s a lying SOB. Next year means between Nov. 2nd and Jan 15th, the lame duck cram everything through...and choices??? 1. Communist lite
2. Marxist lite
3. Communist regular
4. Marxist regular
5. Fascist lite
6. Fascist regular
So many choices, so little time.
The imbecile just gave us : Mo in yo face!
I really really do not like this guy!
It means he and his commie red comrades are going to help themselves to more of our money, and we’ll like it, or else.
We were in debt, and his solution is to create even more debt. Yeah that will work. I can spend my way out of debt. LOL! What a joke! I can't believe this guy is president.
Why the hell is he waiting until next year to present these difficult choices? Post-partisan my bleep. Afraid to tell us your plans in an election year, Mr. Zero?
a) Obama's salary
b) any of his cabinet and staff's salary
c) all foreign aid except to Israel and a few other proven friendly countries
d) the U.N.
e) ALL Congressional and Senate salary and staff
f) Planned murderParenthood g) the EPA
h) the Dept. of Education
i) NPR
j) the IRS
How's *that* for "difficult choices" you teleprompter-dependent wuss?
Cheers!
The Emperor has no clothes..............
What a ridiculous, meaningless statement this is.
He's a stupid creep.
You see...After the election, he can freely “bring down” the Military budget drastically
The Emperor has no clothes..............
can you say.... reparations.
It’s not about America and the economy to Zero, it’s about his petty ego and poltical power. I can’t believe we have a psychopathic narcissist running the country based on the needs of his ego and his petty spite and vengeance.
Some adults need to go into the oval office, grab the punk by the scruff of the neck and throw his worthless punk ass out of the White House.
It’s a convoluted way to try to invert the criticism about his spending....first of all, never acknowledging it is his spending that is killing the economy—but saying “hey, if you’re so worried about the deficit, time to shut up and walk the walk...” in other words ante up to my coming tax increases to pay for MY political agenda that you didn’t want.
We are not only held hostgae by this thug, we are being openly raped and mocked now.
difficult choices =taxes out the wazoo
Because he plans to dump it all in the lap and on the heads of a Republican Congress, in order to get himself re-elected.
That is CHANGE things, not CHANGES things. Proof reading is my friend!
“Why the hell is he waiting until next year to present these difficult choices? Post-partisan my bleep. Afraid to tell us your plans in an election year, Mr. Zero?”
Someone with a 5th grade education can predict what he will propose:
CUT..CUT...CUT the military...CUT NASA...GIVE to welfare...RAISE taxes...
Liberals are predictable
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.
Orphan Annie. Tomorrow, tomorrow. Next year. Always a big deficit fighter next year.
Will he be able to do it without the Senate and House?
He must think this sounds manly, lol.
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.
A President of the United States “calling bluff”.
I’m speechless.
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).
