MY GAWD

A man who tripled the national deficit his first year in office and will run another $1.5 trillion deficit this year says it's time for Washington to tighten its belt. This is hard to listen to sometimes...

Tripled the defecit in his first year in office? We went from about 10 trillion to 30 trillion in one year?

In any case his first year in office was under a Bush budget.

 

[Woyzeck]

If he wants the government to start living within its means, start cutting the defense budget.

2010? nope they never submitted one for 2011, (we are trying to clean that up now, that is what we can)...didn't have time you see, so they just kept laying it on in ongoing resolutions every quarter....

He'd make a good stand up.

Serial liars sleep at night because they believe their own lies.

A very Sociopathic phenomena.

 

[get_involved]

That's what makes a good politician. They can lie with a straight face and most people believe them!

 

[Ragnar]

Maybe he will get the Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences now too.

 

[Oddball]

Why doesn't he just come out and proclaim that "the era of big gubmint is over"?

It would be as (in)credible.

 

[Avatar4321]

Im shocked. I mean what are the odds of President Obama reaching this conclusion right when his reelection cycle is about to begin. I mean seriously the timing is incredible.

 

[Stephanie]

He's just blowing more smoke up our ass.

I don't think the people are buying it.

Translation:

Now that Obama has increased the size of government as a ratio of GDP by 25% in two years, he's willing to put additional growth on pause until after the 2012 election in order to try to fool the voting public one more time.

Given that he has also said he is going to Raise Taxes on all those millionaires who make $250,000 per year, anyone connecting the dots should realize that those taxes will be used to pay for Even More Government (theoretically). In reality, the increased taxes will result in lower economic growth, lower tax receipts, and widening deficits.

Apparently you do not know the difference between the Debt, and the Deficit.

the Deficit on paper went from .5 Trillion to 1.5 Trillion when Obama took over.

That is what they were referring to.

brainiac.

I find it amusing that he comes into office. Nearly triples the Deficit, and then says he wants to freeze spending at 2010 Levels. Effectively locking in all his new Deficit spending every year.

And Stupid ass Obamabots actually think he is doing something good. LOL

Basically it would be like my wife spending 3 Times as much this year as last on groceries, and then saying we need to tighten our belt. For now on we never spend more than we did this year.

LOL

Anyone who can fake sincerity can't be all bad,,,, we hope.

 

[Skull Pilot]

He's pandering like every other no account scum sucking power hungry narcissist motherfucker of a politician.

 

[Avorysuds]

OH SHIT! It’s Campaign season! Time to start running as a CONSERVATIVE again!

Time to talk about…
Cutting spending!
Ending Wars!
Lower Taxes!
Being small business Friendly!

And then show how being a Democrat is all of these things but yet at the same time show Conservatives to be ugly racist white people for wanting these very things, Shocking!
