Obama not going to compromise

[Richard-H]

The Republicans have two choices:

1. Give the President everything he wants now.

2. Go over the fiscal cliff, then give the President everything he wants now, plus a whole lot more.

The Republicans made a huge mistake by assuming that the president would not be re-elected. If they had known, they never would have made the 'fiscal cliff' deal. They are screwed and they know it (at least the ones that have an ounce of brains do).

Once we 'go over the cliff':

1. The Bush tax cuts are history. Any tax cuts will have to be renegotiated from scratch.

2. There will be massive cuts in military spending - the Republicans will have to barter to reinstate each and every program.

3. The Republicans have a huge number of entitlement programs they DO NOT want eliminated (despite their posturing). These will be up for barter and the Republicans are going to have to fight publicly for each one.

4. The Republicans have supported closing tax loop holes to balance the budget - now the President can hold their feet to the fire and make them close the loopholes for the wealthy.

5. The Republicans have to worry about re-election, the President does not. Any continued fiscal crisis will cause them a lot of pain at the polling booth.

So President Obama isn't doing exactly as the Republicans demand, therefore he's "not compromising".

Same old story.

lol.....seems you arent paying attention.

What Obama wants is ONLY HIS way first....and then he is willing to CONSIDER compromising.

In other woirds...he is saying...give me what I want in writing, and you have my word I will consider what you want down the road.

You call that compromising?

Save your breath with these people. I used to post quite a bit but cut back dramatically Now it's 24/7 of "we won". Every thread is the same. It's a constant misleading victory lap. Half of them have no idea what they lost, not won.

They may have won an election but they have no clue what they will lose in the long run.

Typical "young mentality". Live in the moment and somehow this will work itself out. Sorry, not this time.

The republicans do have a responsibility to their constituents, Obama only has responsibility to his leftwing ideology

lol.....seems you arent paying attention.

What Obama wants is ONLY HIS way first....and then he is willing to CONSIDER compromising.

In other woirds...he is saying...give me what I want in writing, and you have my word I will consider what you want down the road.

You call that compromising?

Screw compromise!

The Repugs had the opportunity to compromise last year - they refused.

Now Obama holds all the cards. They can kiss his shiny black ass!

Obama doesn't hold all the cards, dude, he doesn't have congress.
Typical coming from a socialist like yourself...."screw compromise".
What a daft statement to make.

 

[Duped]

Obama is an ideolog - compromise means seeing things his way! I have said this over, and over - he is not going to offend his constiuancy; the free lunch crowd. I hope we go over the cliff - that will be the only thing poignant enough to instutute constructive change. Not that hope, and change bullshit!

 

[bripat9643]

Why should Obama compromise?

He holds all the cards

If he does nothing the Bush tax cuts expire and we get automatic spending cuts across the board. More revenue in and less money spent...that is how you balance a budget

Obama has already offered a tax compromise to save tax cuts for the middle class

That's not a compromise, you stupid douche nozzle, it's exactly what Obama has asked for since the day he became president. Where are the spending cuts? The bottom line is that Obama and the Democrats will not put any spending cuts on the table. Republicans are committing political suicide of the agree to Obama's tax proposals under those conditions.

If Republicans want to save some of their cherished programs, they had better be prepared to compromise

Republicans don't have any "cherished programs," dipshit. Only Democrats think any government program is sacrosanct.

 

[ScienceRocks]

Raising the taxes on the rich isn't going to affect them. Do understand this.

They will pack up and leave.

He's an example of how and why Obama was reelected. No real understanding of the issues but Obama has all the answers.

Very true. It is the GOP as always playing politics with people's paychecks. Which is why there will be fewer of them in Washington come January 1.

Now that is funny.

 

[ScienceRocks]

Everytime taxes are upped on the rich=dodged and skip town. Most recently France. We kind of have to try to get them to spend here.

 

[Duped]

Even with raising the taxes on the rich, the revenue gained from that will still leave a trillion dollar deficit next year. You lefties have been duped and too damn stupid to figure it out. Oh I know, you won, just to prove it was party above country all along.

Thats what I dont get. Why didnt Romney drum that point home...especially during the debates. Obama continually talked about how his plan to raise taxes on thew wealthy will increase revenue by oine trillion dollars. Most people NOT in tuned to everyday politics were not aware that he meant "over 10 years"...and you know damned well that Obama KNEW they did not realize that.

80 Billion dollars is going to do nothing to control the increasing debt seeing as we will STILL be running on a 1.1 Trillion dollar annual deficit..

Today he said that "taking in that extra revenue will make doing the rest easier" (paraphrased)

Exactly how does taking care of 10% of the problem make getting rid of the other 90% easier?

It is easy to raise taxes........it is a hell of a lot more difficult to take away entitlements.

So President Obama isn't doing exactly as the Republicans demand, therefore he's "not compromising".

Same old story.

I never waste my time replying to that hack.

It's kind of like getting someone to shop at your store. You don't want to do something that will make them think twice about it.

All he has is a pen.

Heck...he has no cards at all.

What planet are you from?

 

[Mr. Shaman]

This is exactly what I expected after the last 4 years. I say let it happen. I say the Republicans need to hold their ground and fight back. Obama plans to not compromise and then when the S#!& hits the fan to blame Republicans for not compromising. It is the last 4 years all over again and the end results will be the same. Republicans also need to not raise the debt ceiling. They should have learned over the past 4 years that Democrats are fine with not passing a budget and allowing the normal hikes in spending to occur. The Republicans should put the message out now and make it clear to the President and the Senate that the debt ceiling will not be raised and a balanced budget needs to be written to prevent disaster.

Spending cuts are already part of going off the cliff. 10% across the board. They will have a larger economic impact than the tax increase.

If Republicans want to have a say on what spending gets cut, they better compromise


Republicans don't have cherished programs? What do you think the cherished tax cuts for the wealthy are? Republicans are pissing their pants over spending cuts to the military.

If they want to save them....time to compromise is now

 

[Caroljo]

Obama will.....
The republicans are doing what we sent them there to do....STOP THE SPENDING!
If that means my taxes have to go up, so be it. But if my taxes go up it'll most likely be because Obama didn't want to compromise and cut his spending.
