Well, I thought he would focus on cutting the deficit in his second term but this is even better.

Second Term? Keep dreaming.

In his weekly weakly address today, President Obama calls for fiscal discipline disaster and says his administration will eliminate waste prosperity and increase efficiency misery.

Fixed.

Obama has gone from never wasting opportunism of a crisis TO COERCING CRISIS out of thin air.

Because we KNOW there are NO PLANS to CUT spending, they screwed up and started to mention PAYGO. See, we conservatives think “cut spending” when we hear “reduce deficits”. Seem like a logical thing to do since we all know that government has massive waste in any budget. But they are talking about PAYGO. That is CODE for TAX INCREASES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We are going to get another clintonesque, “gee I never worked so hard in my life for that tax cut, but it is just impossible to do now, with the budget deficit and all”. And, some talking head on one of those shows this weekend was really emphasizing that the “generous” $400 deal was a ONE TIME THING. Hmmm

Karen: good point, and one that is not lost on conservatives, I assure you. I have been talking about this for years – that the left has “hijacked” the term “Fiscal Responsibility.” I remember Clinton threw that phrase around quite a bit.

To me, the term “Fiscal Responsibility” is tainted. While its original meaning likely referred to responsible spending coupled with low taxes, it has come to mean “spend as much as you want, just tax the hell out of people to pay for it.” Thanks to the left. And the Obama admin has taken it to an entirely new level.

BTW… that $400 tax rebate that you mentioned is a sham. I have read that it is not a rebate but a change in the withholding tables. In other words, that $13 per week that you see in your paycheck (if you even noticed – I didn’t) is due to the fact that less is being withheld from your pay. You will have to pay it back next April 15 when you do your federal taxes.

President Obama was in Washington at the time, but the low-flying 747 circling the Statue of Liberty was one of the planes used as Air Force One, sources said.

The NYPD and the city were notified of the planned flight, but did not share that information with Mayor Bloomberg and other New Yorkers, many of whom said they were terrified.

PHOTO OP ohne Obama.
“Insensitive”
Wasteful.

Good Luck! No matter how hard you try you will not change their minds. We have seen it right here on Hot Air. Time and time again the “believers” will be presented with facts only to ignore them. They won’t believe you because they don’t want to believe you. When all this idiotic spending finally collapses their world around them, they will blame the failing of the spendathon on Republican obstructionists who wouldn’t let Obama get everything he wanted. Never mind that the opposition voices were never allowed to be heard. To them that is not germane.

Think about it. He proposes a audaciously, audacious, breathtakingly gargantuant increase in the budget this year. And an astonishingly large increase in the one year deficit. Just breathtakingly audacious. And because it is so huge, it has caught everyone just off balance. Where to you begin to attack that level of spending? We just can’t get our brains wrapped around it. So it slides through Congress relatively easily. That reconciliation thing is a pretty nifty trick to get around any need to negotiate this with any Republicans in Congress. Wow, with reconciliation, we don’t even need traitors like Snow, Specter and the other gal in Maine.

Meanwhile, back to my point. Because we KNOW there are NO PLANS to CUT spending, they screwed up and started to mention PAYGO. See, we conservatives think “cut spending” when we hear “reduce deficits”. Seem like a logical thing to do since we all know that government has massive waste in any budget. But they are talking about PAYGO. That is CODE for TAX INCREASES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We are going to get another clintonesque, “gee I never worked so hard in my life for that tax cut, but it is just impossible to do now, with the budget deficit and all”. And, some talking head on one of those shows this weekend was really emphasizing that the “generous” $400 deal was a ONE TIME THING. Hmmm

Connect the dots. Bend over people, they are going to ram it up our arsses so far, we won’t even see what they shoved in there.

And did you guys hear Rush today? Turns out Obama’s http://www.makehomesaffordable.gov or whatever that website was supposed to be, is nothing but a lead harvest program for law firms to call desperate people and charge them money up front only to tell them later, “gee, we couldn’t do anything with your lender, sorry”. Meanwhile the media is still having their obasm over the mere idea the obama has set up a website to help those in danger of losing their homes.

We have to get really vocal about this. Start telling everyone you know what a fraud this guy is. Give these sheeple facts. Eventually they will come out of their koolaid stupor.

I was thinking the same thing.

Newspeak at its finest…

Hey, it would be consistent…

“We cannot settle for a future of rising deficits and debts that our children cannot pay,” the president says,

Where are the Republicans to shout from the rooftops: “We agree! Why, then, do YOU want to quadruple the deficits?”

Oh, that’s right, TurboTax Timmy is running the show at the White House. He uses unconventional accounting methods.

I watched about 2.4 seconds of this video. An absolute joke, it is. Prince Barry seems to be smirking at the camera as he delivers line after line of BS. It’s as though he’s thinking to himself, “I know those idiots out there will buy every word of this.”

And sadly, they will. Except for a handful of us who see it for what it is: nothing but utter, bald faced lies.

Right after he destroys most of the private employment providers in this country….

and right before he confiscates all private property and financial holdings to pay for the elite’s medical care while we all get to visit walk in clinics run by first year interns paid minimum wage.

Yeah…I vote no on that one.

“recognize that we cannot meet the challenges of today with old habits and stale thinking.”

What’s older and staler than throwing taxpayers’ money at every perceived problem and using the tax code for social engineering?

Will there then be outrage from the 63% who think he is doing a good job?

Hindsight being twenty-twenty, it was their trials that made them “The Greatest Generation”, and their vows that make their children and grandchildren the morally weakest.

My sentiments all along. They unfortunately parented a generation of pukes.
I imagine they were all worn out by this time.

At 39, I often feel in the minority of my generation.

Badger40 on April 27, 2009 at 12:05 PM

I believe you are. The generation who had to learn how to survive during the great depression, grew up strong and self reliant. Adding to this education they also had to fight WWII. Coming out of that they vowed that their children would never have to deal with those issues.

At 39, I often feel in the minority of my generation. So many are extremely narcissistic & self important.
And the current generations are even worse.
My mother in law actually got mad at her son (my husband) bcs he dared to discipline his daughter by not allowing her to attend an after prom party (she’s a Sr) bcs she had lied to us a while back.
My husband could not understand why his mother would want a kid to get away with something like that.
I guess these people are in all generations.

I’m glad the Prince Obama Badministration is going to pilfer through things line by line.

If only they were so exacting on the details of their campaign donations this past fall.

blatantblue on April 27, 2009 at 11:13 AM

“Pilfer”?
Wait, on second thought, that makes a horrifying amount of sense.

Badger40 on April 27, 2009 at 11:12 AM

So sad,but true. Far too many of todays voters grew up over protected, over indulged,over stimulated and overfed. While at the same time undereducated in areas that should have prepared them for life in the real world. It seems that the basics of economy, the importance of history and truth of our enumerated (but not “all encompassing”) freedoms are no longer being taught. Instead they are taught that they are the most important person to have ever been born. Everyone else is at some level beneath them. Those that deign to disagree are the flotsam and jetsam of humanity.The word humility is foreign to them. I seriously doubt if the majority of these ever try to foresee the consequences of their actions. they cannot see 3 or 4 moves ahead let alone 1.
To end my rant; As I sit here typing this I have to listen to the bass beat coming from a house 1/4 mil away. Consideration is as foreign as humility.
