Still out of work Dum Dum? I’m shocked. Say, when are you going to drop the N-bomb over here and get yourself banned?

I also think we’re due for another Obama as Captain America analogy.

		<description>In fact I heard someone saying earlier today that the average budget deficit for the Republicans when they were in charge was $101 billion. Compare that to 1.2 trillion for the Democrats.</description>

		<description>Today, I heard a little bit of Obama running his mouth and he blamed all of this on Bush. He said that when he walked in the door, he was facing a deficit left by the previous administration and Congress..as if he himself were not part of that Congress at the time.

The man is such a liar.</description>

		<description>This B.S. on the &quot;bipartisan&quot; blue ribbon panel was discussed by Paul Ryan on Chris Wallace&#039;s show on Sunday. It would have more Democrats that Republicans on it and Ryan said the result would be tilted to favor Obama. The GOP needs to get out there and expose this. Now just &lt;strong&gt;WHO&lt;/strong&gt; is it that is playing fast and loose politics while Americans suffer?</description>

		<description>So, fresh from an appearance before the House Republicans, the reviews of which cast Obama as a formidable debater with a keen analytical mind, O-Blah-ma comes out with this dreck.  And what does this leave us to believe about him?

Well, apparently he&#039;s not an idiot, despite all that we have seen in the last two years.  And obviously he stills enjoys the support of massive Dem majorities in both house of congress.

So this suicidal spending orgy must be what the keen intellect of O&#039;Baahma believes is best for America.

Right?</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;During the first hour, Rush indicated that this budget includes ‘revenues’ from both Cap and Trade and Healthcare reform... which by guess-timate indicates the true deficit will be around $2.5 TRILLION (2.5 million, millions)

phreshone on February 1, 2010 at 12:47 PM
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

That&#039;s correct. Remember, Obamacare would&#039;ve slashed Medicare and raised taxes on everyone. All under the guise of &quot;health care reform&quot;. So unless that bill passes, the Dems will have to come up with that additional revenue to keep the deficit from being even higher.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;There is nothing surprising about where Mr. Obama finds himself today. He had been made by charisma, and political magic, and has been felled by it. If his rise had been spectacular, so, too, has been his fall. The speed with which some of his devotees have turned on him—and their unwillingness to own up to what their infatuation had wrought—is nothing short of astounding. But this is the bargain Mr. Obama had made with political fortune.

He was a blank slate, and devotees projected onto him what they wanted or wished. In the manner of political redeemers who have marked—and wrecked—the politics of the Arab world and Latin America, Mr. Obama left the crowd to its most precious and volatile asset—its imagination. There was no internal coherence to the coalition that swept him to power. There was cultural &quot;cool&quot; and racial absolution for the white professional classes who were the first to embrace him.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<blockquote><p>There is nothing surprising about where Mr. Obama finds himself today. He had been made by charisma, and political magic, and has been felled by it. If his rise had been spectacular, so, too, has been his fall. The speed with which some of his devotees have turned on him—and their unwillingness to own up to what their infatuation had wrought—is nothing short of astounding. But this is the bargain Mr. Obama had made with political fortune.</p>
<p>He was a blank slate, and devotees projected onto him what they wanted or wished. In the manner of political redeemers who have marked—and wrecked—the politics of the Arab world and Latin America, Mr. Obama left the crowd to its most precious and volatile asset—its imagination. There was no internal coherence to the coalition that swept him to power. There was cultural &#8220;cool&#8221; and racial absolution for the white professional classes who were the first to embrace him.</p></blockquote>

		<description>Oh and you have this fact wrong.

&lt;blockquote&gt;They bypassed Bush for FY2009 by delaying passage of the budget until Obama took office and hiked spending to over $3.1 trillion.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Again we never had a budget for this year and it was &quot;spending bills&quot; that got us though the year.</description>

		<description>We are talking about the annual budget here and it is interesting not a single MSM organization reported what the last budget was President Bush signed and how much of an increase this is. Let me refresh some facts the media did not think was important to mention.

The last budget President Bush signed was for 2008 and was $2.9 trillion. 

We actually went the whole year of 2009 without a budget (again the media didn&#039;t think this fact was important to mention) so spending was locked in and it was set to be the same, but in Feb Queen Pelosi and President Obama signed a $400 billion spending bill to finish out the year which included a $200 billion increase.

This means that President Obama inherited a $2.9 trillion budget and anything over that is 100% his spending increase. What I have not heard the media report is where this $1 trillion increase is all going to yet.

Now I am hoping the GOP filibusters this out of control budget, but I am not going to hold my breath they do.</description>

		<description>Painful Stool, whether you are posting here or over at ASHQ, it doesn&#039;t matter. It&#039;s all the same. You are simply delusional. It&#039;s all of you non-contributing, non-tax paying leftists that caused this mess and are making it worse by spending us into oblivion. Who&#039;s going to pay for your gubamint subsidized mac-n-cheese when all of us tax payers are either out of business or have gone Galt.

Go. Away.</description>

		<description>During the first hour, Rush indicated that this budget includes &lt;strong&gt;&#039;revenues&#039;&lt;/strong&gt; from both &lt;em&gt;Cap and Trade and Healthcare reform.&lt;/em&gt;.. which by guess-timate indicates the true deficit will be around $2.5 TRILLION (2.5 million, millions)</description>
