That’s it?

He REFUSED to meet last week at the Republican’s invitation and now he comes back and says we need to meet and get out of comfort zones...?

This guy is on drugs and not just the “I need a little pickup” type...he is one some serious chemical balancers.

Either he’s late to the podium...AGAIN...

That is what I was going to say. He was 10 MINUTES LATE to say THAT?

What a narcissist. I mean COME ON. Don't be late PERIOD. But if you ARE going to be late...at least have a reason.

The invitation from Mitch was ignored. He fears however, a summons from the Speaker.

...Right now, we got a unique opportunity to do something big...

... to get there, I believe we need a balanced approach ...

we need to take on spending in domestic programs

in defense programs

in entitlement programs

and we need to take on spending in the tax code

take on spending in the tax code

My Obama-speak is a little rusty, but would he mean to imply tax increases with that statement?

Lies come too easily to Obama; this POTUS can’t tell the truth.

But I’ll bet he bounced onto the podium, holding his two little balled-up hands waist high in front of him, attempting to say with his body language, “See how lithe, athletic and fit I am? Also young. Doesn’t it suggest that I sit around with Lance Armstrong, drinking Michelob Ultra and generally being outrageously cool?”

The big Greek push is on folks. They’re trying to avoid a decoupling between rising commodity prices (oil etc.,, cost of living,) and where their money and pensions are invested in the fed prop market.

If the counterfeit market goes, their pensions get hit, and all the brokers/managers connected with funneling. (While everyone not connected to the govt. is oppressed with schemes such as Vampire-Care.) Watch the commodity prices and the REAL cost of living (not the fake numbers with food and fuel removed), if they rise (like today), their going to go rabid...just as with the passage of Vampire-Care was.

in fact they are already starting to go rabid... the heavy propaganda from the beltway is underway pulling the strings of the Puppet Spammer....

One of the first commentators after this so called briefing immediately stated on a business channel that “in reality according to almost all bipartisan studies, the democrats has made all the concessions on this.” (rough quote)

spending in the tax code

Yeah, I started to notice that bit of Newspseak emerging late last year (maybe they used it earlier, I just hadn't noticed). It is a particularly troubling perversion of the language in that its basis is that all $$$ belong to the Fedgov and any that you are allowed to "keep" is spending by Fedgov. That is why (in their Newspeak minds) an individual or corporation taking a (valid, legal) deduction against their taxable income is spending by Fedgov. Also, if a tax rate is lowered (allowing a corporation or individual to "keep" more of their income), it is also spending by Fedgov.

Obviously we've known all along that this is the attitude of the statists, but for some reason hearing them speak it in this manner is particularly troublesome (IMO).
