President Obama Delays Decisions and Courts Disaster

October 11, 2012 @ 3:56 pm (Updated: 10:48 am - 10/12/12 )

If President Obama continues to block agreements with Congress, on January 1st - three weeks before inauguration day!- taxes will go up sharply on every American, with typical middle class households paying increases above $3,000.

Our defense budget will also suffer automatic cuts Obama's own Defense Secretary called "catastrophic." The president wants to wait till the election, hoping he can force a better deal if he wins, though Republicans say they still won't accept tax hikes. And if he loses, the president may reach no deal at all, preferring to hand Mitt Romney a wrecked economy and to blame Republicans.

The non-partisan Congressional Budget Office says the resulting recession could prove even worse than the collapse of 2008, but the president prefers to play politics rather than acting now to avert disaster, or even revealing his post-election strategy.

    Gee - Another 'It's all Obama's fault because he won't bend over and take it up the backside and give in to everything the tea party extremists want'.... Amazing Medved. You be sounding alot like that insane idiot Beck these days. Ignoring reality, Ignoring facts... When you gonna whip out the chalkboard and start drawing associations based on parts of different words to make your blatantly false points? The REPUBLICANS are just as much at fault here - but to you blindly right wing, it's 'All Obama's fault... Well guess what? The American people are seeing through the lies more and more these days. They see this kind of commentary for the false diatribe that it is...

    Silence from the front

    If you haven't noticed, Michael hasn't chimed into this discussion once. At least other people on this site will drop in to defend their position such as the News Chick, but for the most part you never hear from these people beyond their initial story. People have brought up a lot of good points here but Michael has not once tried defending his position. Go Media Fear Engine, do your worst.

    it's nice to see our usual Dimshits here are still so naive. I suppose that if I lived across the street from you two morons and I constantly tried to kill you and your entire family, you'd just put up with it for the greater good of society. Hilarious.

    These problems are all a result of the policies that your Dear Leader has put into place. You know this as well as I! Blame Bush? Of course that is what MSNBC tell you Left wing Parrots to do in order to deflect the focus from your Dear Leader Obama.

    M 101 as for your "Down this road again" again do you understand that gas price today are just as high as they have been all through the last 4 years of this regime? With or without a ME war, price of gas under this regime has been at an all time high with NO signs of it coming down under Obama!

    To fake marine sgt.

    Give it up. Every one knows that if you were actually a marine you would always be a marine. None of that former bull. I spent 5 years in the Army Special Forces and you know what? I will always be a Green Beret. Nothing can take that from me and if you actually served you would feel the same way. You are a fraud like your leader.

    October 12, 2012 12:28 pm
    With the way 0bama and his surrogates have demonized the Republicans it is no wonder they refuse to deal. Our own dear Sen. Murray says that she wants us to go over that cliff. Demonize an adversary and you make an enemy. That is what 0bama and his crew have done. So now, the only thing is to throw the bums out or suffer the consequences.
