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.

    GW Bush is an infinitely better man and better president? And now you why the VP was laughing all the way through the debate. Why do you think everyone in the GOP are called Circus Clowns? Because they are. I know we are in the Emerald City, but come on munchkins get real.

    with they way "Americans" can not co-operate and compromise and work together and unite our once great country. We should NOT be in DEBT! I give Washington DC an F minus! We the people want you to do your job! The answer is not more spending and more laws and more govt. The answer is less less less. So we can be FREE again. I feel like i am being financially raped by my own country!

    You've presented the conservative side...the progressive side is they want more more more, to take away your freedom and they're quite happy utilzing the government to rape the American people. And that is the fundemental reason why there can't be compromise...both sides are entrenched into their desire for freedom on one side and to oppress on the other.

    How does providing the freedom to marry (same sex marriage) oppress straight couples? How does providing Plan B oppress you? How does legalizing marijuana oppress you? How does ending the wars oppress you? How does providing healthcare for MORE people NOT LESS oppress you?

    He has divided country? Who said our goal is to make him a one term president? How does that sound like bipartisanship? Did you have any complaints about Bush and his vacation time that far exceeded Obama and other presidents?

    Fathom the HYPOCRISY Of a Government that requires every citizen to prove they are insured...but not everyone must prove they are a citizen. And now, any of those who refuse, or are unable, to prove they are citizens will receive FREE insurance paid for by those who are forced to buy insurance BECAUSE THEY ARE CITIZENS. Democrats: constantly striving for a new level of HYPOCRISY!

    QUOTE: "Where's the president when you need him?" Out golfing, doing BulSh-eye't TV shows and more. Really? We are paying this idiot great sums of money to be a celebrity, not a president. America sucks or wait, the people do.

    Hey all you Left wing Parrots!
    October 13, 2012 11:28 pm
    When was the LAST time any of you defended your Dear Leader? None of you Parrots even rush to his defense. Instead all you do is attack us Americans who will vote for President Romney. Why is this? When was the last time your Dear Leader did anything you disagreed with? Anything you Parrots agreed with?

    I cannot begin to imagine the heartache, the utter disappointment, the pure anger you Parrots have at us American when watching your Dear Leader slip further and further behind Romney by the hour even with the oversampled of likely useful idiot voters! It still continues and cannot be stopped.

    I feel it to be appropriate that every car, house, Volt, whatever with an Obama sign or symbol on it every owner or operator be placed on suicide watch a day before the election and several years there after. You Parrots will not be able to handle not having your Dear Leader and the regime in your lives and telling you, daily, what to do, what to eat, when to go to the privy, and especially what to say! You Parrots will have NO IDEA of what to do with yourselves.

    And once Obama is out of our government, the advancement of Sharia will be halted.
