Obama Calling "Bluff" Of Those Complaining About Debt He Created

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."

I call your Bluff Obama!!

[Sacajaweau]

And what the hell does he mean by “call your bluff”....it’s a ridiculous statement that means absolutely nothing.

[JudgemAll]

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.”

[Tamar1973]

The problem with liberals is they want to cut federal spending on items that the constitution requires the Feds to handle, like national security, foreign diplomacy (including negotiations with Native American tribes), war, etc. while increasing spending exponentially on items the Feds have no right spending money on such as the "war on poverty", education, health care, etc.

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.”

[4rcane]

We have alot of rino in congress who don’t really believe in spending cuts. Obama is calling their bluff

[Rennes Templar]

You’re the one who has to step up and cut them Zero, duh.

[ClearCase_guy]

Things to cut:

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.”

[Le Chien Rouge]

Agreed.

But please add future tax hikes up the wazoo....

[TornadoAlley3]

because next year when I start presenting some very difficult choices

LOL!

[mrsmel]

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.

[SoCalConstitutionalist]

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.

[ml/nj]

And what the hell does he mean by “call your bluff”....

I think it's Chicago Street Talk.

ML/NJ

[mrsmel]

Exactly.

[CincyRichieRich]

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.

[dr_who]

People should learn that lesson about me because next year when I start presenting some very difficult choices to the country

Mmmmmm. Whether to throw fuel onto the fire or not to throw fuel on the fire. Tough choice alright.
