YOU MEAN I HAVE TO LISTEN TO THE VOTERS?????????
....
As I now understand it, the budget deficit and the national debt are a huge national crisis, which threaten our future and our very way of life, if the proposal on the table is:
* Aid to the unemployed
* American infrastructure
* Jobs for teachers, firefighters, and police officers
* Retirement security
* Investment in a new U.S. energy policy
* Access to affordable health care for America's families
* Quality public schools and student loans
* Transportation, public works, research and development, childcare, and food stamps
On the other hand, the budget deficit and the national debt are utterly meaningless, and shouldn't even be considered, if the proposal on the table is:
* Tax cuts for millionaires and billionaires
* War
* Infrastructure in Iraq
* an expanded government role in health care through Medicare Part D
* an expanded government role in education through No Child Left Behind
What do you say, Republicans and Tea Partiers? Do I have this about right?

Liberals just CAN'T STAND the idea of people keeping more of their own money. That's what they mean by "tax cuts for the rich."
But let's compare that deficit under Republicans and now Democrats, shall we?????
US Federal Deficit as a Percentage of GDP
2001 -1.25
2002 1.48 Corporate Scandals, 9/11
2003 3.39
2004 3.39
2005 2.52
2006 1.85
2007 1.14
2008 3.18 TARP
2009 9.91 Obama Porkulus
2010 10.64
US Federal Deficit As Percent Of GDP in United States 1900-2010 - Federal State Local
Look at when we started having a deficit again. It was after a major attack on this country, and disasters like Enron.
By 2007, Bush and the Republicans had slashed that MORE THAN IN HALF.
Look when it starts to go up again. Despite the tax cuts, and despite wars, NOT UNTIL TARP does the deficit start to rise.
ONLY WHEN OBAMA MADE TARP LOOK LIKE A SUNDAY PICNIC WITH HIS PORKULUS did the deficit make a HUGE JUMP!
Now you liberals can lie all the hell you want, BUT YOU CAN'T GET AROUND THE FREAKING NUMBRS.
The truth is despite 9/11, which was a HUGE ECONOMIC BLOW TO THIS COUNTRY, the Deficit as a percent of our GDP (and that's now it needs to be figured) WAS RELATIVELY LOW.
It did not jump until Obama started his GENERATIONAL THEFT otherwise called the Stimulus.
That's what the Tea Party knows AND THAT'S WHAT THE VOTERS NOW KNOW.
Spin and lie your way around that.
November is coming!
What part of the Tea Party and the New Contract with America have you missed toots?
I think I see the whining and it's coming from you.
Democrats have done NOTHING but cause greater damage to the economny and you tell us we can't complain?
HAVE YOU SEE THE UNEMPLOYMENT RATE LATELY?
I'll hoot and holler all right. All the way to the election booth, Nov 2. Who's going to stop me? These "tough guys?
I'd deliberately run right into them, just to let them know I'm not afraid of them or any other liberal!
I'm sure you would. Just remember to bring your club.

What event took place in September 2008? What happened thereafter? Your lopsided arguments suggest that there were no significant changes in the overall economy which required immediate action. Educate yourself.
The 2008 World Economic Crisis: Global Shifts and Faultlines
Obama: I Can Work with Republicans, but Not GOP Leadership - Political Hotsheet - CBS News
Now the translation for this little pity party is, NOT about the GOP Leadership, although Obama may say so.
It's about the CONSERVATIVES that are going to come in to the Congress that are NOT the "cross the aisle" Rinos that are going to kiss his butt!
He's saying "individual" Republicans, aka Rinos can be manipulated to vote with him, but Tea Party conservatives won't.
Notice how careful he is NOT to mention the Tea Party.
I mean Obama is afraid of the GOP Leadership? Really?????????? I don't buy that one. The GOP leadership hasn't exactly been that rock ribbed conservative as of late.
But I've noticed that Obama has sunk so low that's he's WHINING as of late. We should all feel sorry for him.
"It's not my fault, Bush did it! You just have to give me a chance!!! WAH!!!!!!"
Yeah, the voters gave you a chance Obama. You screwed the pooch!
Voters aren't willing to give Democrats more of a chance. The Democrats in Congress have had four years and have displayed nothing but arrogant tone deafness to the American people.
It's time to send them to the unemployment lines!
But let's give Obama that pity party he so badly needs. One, two, three, AW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great this thread isnt about what Obama said but what you believe he means. Ok Matt Parkman lol
