Barry Obutthead: Hubris in Action

[Trajan]

there were a more than few howlers in here, (http://politisite.com/2011/06/29/pr...cecampaign-speech-june-29-2011-full-text/)and I won't even touch the 'leadership' comments as any sentient being knows he's flubbed that portion of the job,,,,,,( and I look forward to the fact check by AP ir the wapo tomorrow) so;

Right now, Congress can advance a set of trade agreements that would allow American businesses to sell more of their goods and services to countries in Asia and South America -– agreements that would support tens of thousands of American jobs while helping those adversely affected by trade. That’s pending before Congress right now.

really? when you were sworn in Mr. Pres. there were 3 trade deals sitting there just waiting for a vote, WHY has there not been a vote? ask the democrats.Obama himself said we need to ratchet up exports and it could create 200k jobs last year......ok, well?

pick up the phone at the ninth hole, (and don't call the snack shack ahead for a burger), call harry reid and tell him to get on it...cause the House would pass it in a minute.

And last point I want to make about this. These are bills that Congress ran up. The money has been spent. The obligations have been made. So this isn’t a situation — I think the American people have to understand this — this is not a situation where Congress is going to say, okay, we won’t — we won’t buy this car or we won’t take this vacation. They took the vacation. They bought the car. And now they’re saying maybe we don’t have to pay, or we don’t have to pay as fast as we said we were going to, or — that’s not how responsible families act. And we’re the greatest nation on Earth, and we can’t act that way.

uhm ok then as long as we remember congress has been democratic from jan 2007 to last nov. 2010 and the exec. was split 2 years to 2.5.....I won't even mention the 25% increase in discretionary spending he signed.

one thing is clear; its class warfare to the knife, hes got exactly nothing else to go with.

It's hubris when you're the one who has dithered, procrastinated, delayed and generally ignored your fiduciary duties, only to try and shift the blame when crunch time comes.

Were this clueless turd someone with an (R) by their name, you'd be all over him.

i see that assessment as false. they wanted to drag him in. they had the senate and the house and the vp working on this for months. if the r's wanted to make a deal, they would have. but cantor walked out because he knows the only way to address this is a combination of spending cuts and revenue increases and he doesn't want his name attached to that. he'd rather hang boehner out to dry. and i know for a fact that the children in congressional leadership among the r's are slightly more adult about this in their private discussions, but not by much. that's what happens when tea zealots with no understanding of the role of government get elected into office.

and no... if the dems said they'd never make a deal despite whatever damage it would cause to this country, i'd call them on it. in fact, i'd think it was disgusting. (for the record, saying you won't give someone else EVERYTHING they want is not refusing to make a deal).

how about you calling out the r's for a complete and total lack of interest in the results of yet another fiscal misstep on their part? they're so focused on trying to make this president a one-termer that they're screwing up at every possible turn.

that's how i see it. you might be able to convince me otherwise, but i'm not feeling it.

Nonsense.

There was nothing Cantor or any of the repubs could've done the first two years....See: Obuttheadcare.

Speaking of which, where were all these democrat "deal makers" when that steaming heap of horse flop was rammed through?

No...They're only interested in cutting deals when they're out of legislative power.

your saying it's "nonsense" doesn't make it so.

yeah, i know about the lies saying there was some sort of supermajority. i'd suggest you look up filibuster and see how many times the r's filibustered during the first two years of obama's term.

actually, they DID cut deals. in fact, they took something that was better and watered it down with rightwing "compromises" after which all the r's took a hike.

which proves my point that the dems should have done what the repubs do every time they have the majority... which is "piss off, we won, suck it up".

dems think if they play nice, the r's will work with them. but reality (and you can deny it if you want) is they will do absolutely anything (or not do necessary things) to sabotage this presidency.

They had 58 Democrats and Lieberman and Sanders who voted with them. They had a supermajority of 60 votes.

They had 58 Democrats and WHEN Lieberman and Sanders voted with them, they had a supermajority of 60 votes.

I fixed that for you.

they caucas together. hello. ( and biden if they need him for a tiebreaker)

"drag him in"???? Uhm he IS the c in c? yes?


has he delivered a budget for 2012? no, the one ad hoc plan he had got shot down 97-0....were is his budget?

Does HE have a plan for the deficit ( aside from the debt ceiling issue, which he apparently is happy to leave in the hands of congress) ....? can we please know what it is?

He also owes by law, due to financial strictures breached, a legislative proposal to Congress on Medicare. where is it?

the rest of your comment is ( imho) all an argument in mitigation that does not convince me why , as pres. gets to just sit out, this is the issue of the times, if he doesn't see it as his place to lead, hey fine, but this is IS crunch time. The reps have their stance the dems have theirs....when DOES he come in...???

Were would the world be without the leadership of president Obama? I just can't imagine such a scenario.... What leadership this man shows..Magnificent!!

I know four years olds that are more focused than this congress, but let's face it money corrupts people and money has corrupted our nation since ??? maybe forever? Here's a piece of history I found interesting. This is why Obama has to take on the super politician cape of an FDR or Truman. Some things never change it seems - republicans were as useless then as now.


"By 1936, when Roosevelt was running for re-election, Hearst decided to support Republican Alf Landon and oppose Roosevelt with all the power of the press he could muster.

Historian Ben Procter summarized this moment in history in his book William Randolph Hearst: The Later Years, 1911-1951 :

"On September 6, Hearst newspapers began a prolonged assault on the administration. The New York American published a front-page editorial titled, 'The Radical Brand on the New Deal.' It charged that radical and communist leaders had already given their approval to support Roosevelt against Landon. During the next two weeks Hearst editors trumpeted these recurring themes: that communists had infiltrated the New Deal; that communism was un-American and undemocratic; that 'America can only judge Mr. Roosevelt and his administration by the strange silence that has prevailed in official quarters.'"

That was as much as Roosevelt was willing to take. The White House issued a statement that mentioned "a certain notorious newspaper owner," and rebutted the accusations. The statement concluded, "The American people will not permit their attention to be diverted from real issues to fake issues which no patriotic, honorable, decent citizen would purposefully inject into American affairs.""

PolitiFact | Obama right that Roosevelt was called a socialist and a communist

If he never mentioned his children imagine what they right would say.

Um... Idiot.

Mentioning your Children as a Father or as a Parent is one thing...

Mocking Congress with them and then on top of that not getting one of their Ages right...

Well, that's another.

But Truth doesn't Matter to you, so I am Wasting Bandwidth explaining the Obvious to you...

He said she does her "homework".

Look at Christie. He took a helicopter, then a limo ride for 100 YARDS and tried to blame it on his son. THEN he left during the 5th inning because he was so, so interested in what his son was doing.

Stop with the double standard, AGAIN.

He's never passed a budget and he talks about his daughters

Oh and speaking of homework will Obama every release any of his, besides "Me shoot hoops with choom gang"

 

[Momanohedhunter]

This guy has no room to talk. He has done nothing while in office, And nothing related to putting a budget together, or offer a plan to deal with "the looming debt crises" but play Golf and watch WNBA. What a meat head.

 

[WillowTree]

Well, actually by the left's own rule book he has made them subject to "attack" he drug them on stage for political purposes.. So, just like Palin's children it is open season.

 

[rdean]

He's a psycho

Why inject "race"?

 

[B. Kidd]

I don't ever remember a sitting Prez using his children to reprimand Congress. Looks like another new low bar has been set by this guy.

You missed some words. Let me help.

He's never passed a budget (because Republicans wouldn't let him) and he talks about his daughters
