Obama spends Hawaiian Christmas visiting troops, plans early return to DCHonolulu, Hawaii (CNN) - President Obama began his Christmas morning like most Americans – opening gifts and singing carols, according to the White House. No word on what was under the tree for the president this year, though a fiscal cliff deal was clearly not. Later Tuesday, the White House announced Obama would cut his vacation short and return to Washington the same day the Senate reconvenes to tackle the looming January 1 deadline before taxes automatically increase and spending cuts set in. Meanwhile, the president visited the local Marine Base Tuesday afternoon, where he addressed over 100 troops and their families as they were sitting down to a Christmas dinner. This came after Obama made calls to service members on Christmas Eve, according to the White House. “The greatest honor I have as President is being Commander-in-Chief. And the reason it’s an honor is because not only do we have the finest military in the world but we also have the finest fighting men and women in the world. And so many of you make sacrifices day in, day out on behalf of our freedom, on behalf of our security,” Obama told the service members Tuesday. While the president's vacation is coming to a close early, the White House says first lady Michelle Obama and daughters Sasha and Malia will remain on the island. |

You can always tell when Obama is comfortable. He's in his element on vacations, you can tell he'd rather just stay on vacation forever and never work again.
Oh get a life! Being braindead with a touch of idiocy is not becoming.
Obama is well down the list on vacation days, and is coming back to Washington early to work on the fiscal cliff...more than you can say about the 40-50 Tea Party nuts who are obstructing any kind od deal and walked out ro go on vacation. George Bush spent 1,020 days on vacation at a cost of about 20 million, leading all presidents by a big margin. Even Roosevelt, who was president for 12 years, is far, far behind. Deal with facts, not your own fantasy.
How bad off was the country when Bush took his vaca days – I assume you are counting the working vacation days for Bush seeing that is all we hear from you obamanusists is – "it is a working vacation". Also, do you count the 400 plus days of golf as part of the days Obama is on vaca? How about the party days when there is nothing on the agenday except parties?
The country is heading off a cliff NOW and Obama is on vacation NOW. What more needs to be said?
I guess you issed the fact that the House Republicans abruptly left when the 40-50 Tea Party members decided to protect rich people again and not negotiate or work on anything. Obama can't do it alone, so why wait on the extremists to decide when to return? He is back in the office, and was willing to not even leave until they walked out. Obama is still far behind Bush in vacation days, and so is everyone else. Bush was off from work 36% of the time. And, yes, presidents are often called on to work on certain things while on vacation...it is not exclusive to anyone. It is actually not even worth talking about. It's the kind of thing you bring up when your side has nothing to offer.
Obama can't do it alone. He seemed to shove healthcare down our throats alone.
Don't you understand this country is broke. Don't you understand if you give these nuts more money they will simply spend it on anything and everything. The Taxed Enough Already people who were elected are the only ones who are doing what they were sent their to do STOP THE SPENDING!!!
You stupid libs voted for more of the same when you voted for Obama and that is what you got.
Bush is history. The country is falling over a cliff and Obama is on vacation yet again and all you libs have is "Bush did it"? Good luck with that.
Still with the bush,, what a jerk
IT IS THIS KIND OF INSANITY THAT MAKES YOU A REPUBLITARD. YOU SEEM TO THINK THAT ONLY REPUBLICANS WANT TO CUT SPENDING WHEN THE EVIDENCE DOES NOT SUPPORT IT. FACE IT, THERE ARE PEOPLE FROM BOTH SIDES WHO WOULD BE EITHER FOR OR AGAINST CUTTING SPENDING. OBAMA HAS ALREADY PROPOSED CUTS AND THAT IS ALL HE CAN REALLY DO! HE CANNOT LEGISLATE! HE DOES NOT HAVE CONTROL OVER THE BUDGET! THAT IS THE JOB OF CONGRESS!!!!
WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME CONGRESS ACTUALLY FUNCTIONED THE WAY IT IS SUPPOSED TO? WHY DO THEY EVEN NEED TO MEET WITH OBAMA? THEY SHOULD DO THEIR JOBS AND DELIBERATE AMONGST THEIR FELLOW CONGRESSMEN AND WOMEN! READ UP ON IT IN CIVICS CLASS BECAUSE THAT IS HOW GOVERNMENT IS SUPPOSED TO WORK.
AND YOU COMPLAIN ABOUT OBAMA'S VACATION DAYS? SOUNDS LIKE YOU HAVE SOME SERIOUSLY MESSED UP PRIORITIES.
Well pappy you got it right Bush was a jerk.
Fantasy is you, dork, what has the inept one done to help anyone but himself??? pull hard and maybe your head will come out of your behind
“The greatest honor I have as President is being Commander-in-Chief. And the reason it’s an honor is because not only do we have the finest military in the world but we also have the finest fighting men and women in the world. And so many of you make sacrifices day in, day out on behalf of our freedom, on behalf of our security,” Obama told the service members Tuesday.
"oh, and...you're fired. bwahaha," the president continued.
How Obama’s Signature looks like... Haha Must see. http://www.stumbleupon.com/su/9uqIi3/www.gay3ty.com/obamas-signature/
Again, Mr lip service does nothing to help the country. What a waste he has turned out to be. its hard to believe how stupid america has become voting for such a loser
LMAO!! Repugs continue to bash Obama for fiscal cliff, where is the Congress on this issue? Obama approval rating 50+%, Congress approval rating 15%. Congress ran by Repugs. Facts! Repugs are never happy, they started this mess when they signed this bill to take affect Jan 1st but try to blame the President. He didnt sign all those Repugs names to the bill.
Like i said and heres proof stupidy
You are aware that Congress consists of the Republican controlled House and the Democratically controlled Senate? The bill you are referring to would need to be passed and signed by both.
what moron sits around and counts up someone's vacation and golfing days????? Must have a excess of time on their hands. Maybe they would be better off reading up on politics and maybe then they would have a better understanding of what the office of president entails.
What moron ?? how about you, ive seen your posts listing b.s. #s geeez your a bitter little booze hag, hope you didnt breed, we dont need more pollution
Obama should return early... It is part of the job he wanted. This isn't a big deal, like no other president has cut a vacation short to work on a project.
i don't see the republicans in congress cutting their vacations short
I believe they are
Jinx, the Congress includes the Senate which is run by Democrats
IF IT'S NOT SUCH A BIG DEAL THEN WHY DO REPUBLITARDS WHINE ABOUT IT?
DON'T BOTHER. IT'S RHETORICAL.
Afternoon, pansy boy
OH LOOK, THE D-BAG CAME THE PLAY. WHAT YOU GOT TO SAY NOW RETARD?
I HEAR PAPPY IS GOING TO SLIT HIS WRISTS COME INAUGURATION DAY. DON'T HOLD BACK ON MY ACCOUNT.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Back on your knees sissy, where you belong, its funny you never get any smarter, suicide is for pussies like you ,
i bet you hide behind women !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Are you wearing your girls panties again????
WHY? YOU GOT TIRED OF WEARING YOUR MOMMA'S?
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Come on Tea party...do your jobs. Let the sequester happen and then freeze the debt limit...put obama and the other marxist out of business...like you did with clinton. The adults need to take over...it's either now or later.
Nice move
YOU MEAN BUSINESS AS USUAL? THE REPUBLITARD MOTTO IS TO DO NOTHING AND WASTE OUR TAX DOLLARS ON THEIR BLOATED PAY AND BENEFITS SO JERRY GETS TO BREATH MORE AIR TO WASTE ON BASHING OBAMA.
NOTHING NEW TO SEE HERE, BUT OF COURSE, THE RETARD CHILD PAPPY IS IMPRESSED.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
If you voted for Obama you voted for business as usual.
WHAT BUSINESS ARE YOU REFERRING TO? OBSTRUCTION AND MEANDERING IN CONGRESS?
I SUPPOSE YOU ARE RIGHT ABOUT THAT.
ALL THE TEA PARTY HAS DONE IS SAY NO TO EVERYTHING SO NOTHING EVER GETS DONE. GOOD JOB.
IF YOU EXPECT THINGS TO CHANGE BECAUSE A BUNCH OF UNCOMPROMISING RETARDS HAVE A DEATH GRIP ON THE GOP THEN YOU ARE SERIOUSLY DELUDED. ALL EXTREMISM DOES IS GET IT BACK TWO-FOLD FROM THE OTHER SIDE. IF THEY KEEP THIS UP AND THE PEOPLE GET HURT BY ANOTHER RECESSION, THE GOP WILL BECOME EXTINCT AFTER THE MIDTERMS.
fact is obama does not return to camp david or his own home as previous presidents have...this causes huge security risks and costs. Even Regan and both Bushes were very carful about travel and vacations not wanting to risk the lives of security personnel for selfish reasons and spending tax payer dollars unnecessarily...obama has demonstrated a total lack of care about the cost and danger he exposes the security personnel to. The typical narcissistic personality.
ALL THOSE WORDS WASTED WHEN YOU COULD HAVE JUST TYPED,
WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!
That is the usual GOP=BS
When Dems complain it's voicing issues, when Repubs complain it's whining... Hypocrisy
NOBODY IS SAYING WE DON'T WHINE. IT'S JUST THAT ALL REPUBLITARDS DO IN THESE COMMENTS IS WHINE ABOUT EVERYTHING OBAMA.
IT'S RATHER SAD, AND I DISLIKE SADNESS.
this red neck pappy is the newest member of the repo nut job s who post here. just listen to the crap they spout. Nothing to back up the stupid remarks they make over and over again. jerry what do you know about security risks? you dumb fart . Pappy sounds like he has 3 teeth in his head. He also sounds like he knows a lot about pansy boys himself. Not only a redneck but a bigot too. How unusual for a repo. Not I bettcha he takes his gun to church with him.
And you think Throbbing Member is better because he is on the Dem Lib side? With all of your posts I have never seen you call a lib out on any post. As far as nut jobs on this site goes – I think we have plenty from both sides. Take libs for example – calling people "red neck", dumb fart", "rebartards", "dirtbag", "moron"? And these nasty comments from LIBS like you, and including you, are just from this one story.
It has been over 4 years now and Obama is a failure. Why else would you libs lean over backwards to defend him when he is changing this country into a larger form of Greece?
BTW, call me all the names you want – I expect it from ignorant libs.
No John, Liberals are just "voicing concerns with an extreme Republican agenda.". When Republicans do the same thing it is seen to them as whining or being mean, not that I think anyone, Dem or Repub, should be calling anyone a retard or other
THAT'S RICH, COMING FROM A GUY WHO CALLED ME A NAME FROM DAY ONE. IF YOU CAN'T STAND THE HEAT, GET THE HELL OUT OF THE KITCHEN.
What was that name? I have heard you call me a moron, idiot, Republitard etc about a thousand times. I completely disagree with you, but I wouldn't call you a retard.
NO DAN, I WAS TALKING ABOUT JOHN. SORRY ABOUT THE MIX UP THERE.
AND I APOLOGIZE FOR CALLING YOU NAMES. I CAN BE OVERLY HARSH AND IRRATIONAL AT TIMES. I ACCEPT NOW THAT YOU ARE AT LEAST TRYING TO BE FAIR SOMETIMES AND I SHOULD TREAT YOU WITH SOME RESPECT.
CHEERS.
After you called me a moron I thought you were a "dick" – thus the name "thobbing member 2012" . Given what you post on a daily basis I thought my name for you was appropriate.
Cheers
WELL JOHN, I NEVER CALLED YOU A NAME IN PARTICULAR BUT IF YOU WERE SLIGHTED BY THE REPUBLITARD COMMENTS I MAKE THEN THAT IS YOUR OWN FAULT. IF THE SHOE FITS. I HAVE MADE CLEAR THAT I HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH REASONABLE REPUBLICANS, FEW AS THEY MAY BE.
I hAve 5 teeth, hope you didnt breed we dont need any more lard A$$es on the planet sucking up resources, have a nice day
With your 5 teeth we hope you don't breed, since you obviously don't know beans about dental care.... either.
Our President is the hardest working man in Washington! I hate he has to interrupt his vacation to deal with the kids in Congress. Hopefully, 2014 will see a good turnout, and we can correct this foolishness. God bless the US! Still got my gun and religion! I'm OK!
I'M BETTER THAN PAPPY BECAUSE I AM ACTUALLY RIGHT ABOUT SOME THINGS BUT PAPPY IS JUST A RACIST TROLL.
YOU DISAGREE WITH ME THAT'S FINE. WE CAN AGREE TO DISAGREE BUT I TEND TO THROW BS BACK ON PEOPLE WHO WALLOW IN IT.
DAN, IS IT NOT WHINING WHEN YOU ACTUALLY WHINE ABOUT EVERYTHING OBAMA DOES? IT'S CALLED 'CALLING IT WHAT IT IS." DEAL WITH IT.
So are you saying you don't whine about Republicans?
WHAT IS THERE TO WHINE ABOUT? THEY ARE OBVIOUSLY DOING A GREAT JOB DOING ABSOLUTELY NOTHING IN CONGRESS. THEY CANNOT EVEN SUPPORT THEIR OWN LEADER TO SAVE THEMSELVES.
NO. I AM WAY PAST WHINING ABOUT REPUBLICANS. THE QUESTION IS, WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO START?
Boo Hoo, its so easy to get you going, its friday, mommy wont have your allowance she spent it on me !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I CAN TYPE IN STUPID CRAP TOO. DOESN'T MEAN A DAMN THING.
I told you guys earlier they weren't in a hurry so now it looks like there won't even be a deal at all. I guess two years is not enough time to work out a budget.
"If we have to go off the cliff, so be it" – BO
He said this over two months ago. Maybe you libs can tell us again what a great job BO is doing.
Given the media hype now I can see the repubs being blamed short term. Eventually, everyone will come to realize the person in the leadership position is ultimately responsible. If we don't go off the cliff Obama will get credit. It is reasonable that he should get the blame if the governmnet fails the American working people once again.
You libs voted for this mess when you voted for more of the same with Obama... I blame all the dems and repubs for this mess, but ultimately, the buck stops with the person in charge.
Never forget the Republicans are only the party of the Christian Right who want theocracy and ban on all abortions, the military-industrial complex who want continuous war and are praying for war with Iran, the Wall Street Elite who want no taxes on corporations and their continued bonuses despite laying people off and not posting profits, and the rich who don't want to pay taxes. All Republicans need to retreat to the planet kolob where Willard hopefully has gone to.
If you are a historian, then you should know that many Democrats believe in no abortions too, and historically abortion was viewed as illegal and immoral. Historically, Reppublicans are not the only ones to start wars... Vietnam for instance. Third, historically socialist countries that you seem to agree with consistently fail
Eisenhower was a Republican....
"The Vietnam War was a cause of much controversy in the United States. One of the first things to realize about the war is that it was a progressive thing. What began as a small group of 'advisers' under President Dwight Eisenhower ended up with over a total of 2.5 million American troops involved."
It is what you could call the snowball effect. You first send a few advisers in to teach people how to fight ,and the next thing you know you have a full blown war on your hands.
I suppose, but the mass of troops was started with Kennedy, and LBJ oversaw the war. Nixon, a Republican, ended it in 1972.
It made sense for Ike to have some people in asia after the war...it was JFK who sent in trainers and LBJ that ultimately escalated the war...for reasons that escape any thinking person...LBJ was a liberal who lied to congress bullied and bribed to get his way (much like obama)... Now, the leftist with the most blood on his hands ins FDR, 50 million dead when he embargoed Japan and allowed England to declare war on Germany when Germany was already in full retreat out of Russia since 1943. Some of you fools just eat up the revisionist history that always favors the leftist. It is the leftist who are responsible for the horrible state of the world today...and yet many of you drink their cool aid out of ignorance and selfishness...God help us.
Doesn't matter Eisenhower started the war ball rolling.
I forgot about Korea... Truman.
Is your ancient history review of past wars to avoid the fact that the most recent and current wars were started by George W. Bush?
Ban the company Monsanto from poisoning the islands. Stop Kamehameha land trust from leasing land to Monsanto. 40 countries around the world officially banned Monsanto from environmental for an wide range of disasters. Leave it to Hawaii politics to still take in the bribe money from them.
What a joke. I'm sure the military members were forced to meet with him. I was in Saudi Arabia when Gore came to visit. They asked for volunteers to listen to a speech and only got 2, when they wanted 80. They then forced members to attend. Some were kicked out for flashing the finger at his behind his back. We were working 12-18 hours at the time and the last thing anyone wanted to do was to see some pampas ass talk in the hot sun. By the way his speech was on his hero, it was about some wrestler, my goodness what a bring time we had. Politicians are clueless about the military and general public they supposedly serve.
I'm sorry to say this John Historian, but Willard is still very much on Earth.
But thankfully now irrelevant.
Look, I was not a big fan of Mitt either- rich snob, but god help me because Obama is our president and his qualifications are what? What has he done in life besides go to law school and be a community organizer?
MARIE, WHAT WOULD QUALIFY ANY OF THE PAST PRESIDENTS IF WE HAD TO LOOK FOR SUCH? THE VERY FIRST ONE WE HAD WAS OUR MILITARY GENERAL, IS THAT A QUALIFICATION THAT SOMEHOW ENDED WITH OBAMA???
THE ONE QUALIFICATION THAT ONLY MAKES SENSE IS THAT THE PRESIDENT IS SOMEONE POPULAR! OBAMA'S GOT NO PROBLEM WITH THAT.
THE GREATNESS OF OBAMA IS THAT WE ARE NOW MORE INCLUSIVE, ANYBODY CAN BE PRESIDENT, EVEN BLACK FOLK. BEYOND THAT, HE IS NO BETTER THAN THE PAST FOUR PRESIDENTS GIVEN THE SAME POLITICAL CIRCUMSTANCES. NOTHING REALLY STANDS OUT BECAUSE THE MESS WE ARE IN DUE TO CONGRESS.
MARIE, WHAT WOULD QUALIFY ANY OF THE PAST PRESIDENTS IF WE HAD TO LOOK FOR SUCH? THE VERY FIRST ONE WE HAD WAS OUR MILITARY GENERAL, IS THAT A QUALIFICATION THAT SOMEHOW ENDED WITH OBAMA???
THE ONE QUALIFICATION THAT ONLY MAKES SENSE IS THAT THE PRESIDENT IS SOMEONE POPULAR! OBAMA'S GOT NO PROBLEM WITH THAT.
Marie
Actually if you want a good president you definitely want someone who understands how government works and how it affects lives at the local level. The job of a community organizer is working with local groups to legally help solve problems of how government can best address their needs. You obviously are clueless about what a community organizer actually does...and the rest of President Obama's qualifications..
Besides being a lawyer and community organizer, he chaired several non-profit foundations which worked to improve life for people. Plus, I would consider 3 terms as an Illinois State Senator 1997-2004 serving the people of the 13th District on the state level, and 4 years in the U.S. Senate (as the Senator from Illinois) good experience. Not to mention the 12 years teaching Constitutional Law.
It might help you to do a wiki search of his accomplishments.
Well... if you look at past presidents, I can't think of anyone less qualified. Almost all of the past presidents knew the government in some way, and Obama's one skill-negotiating-isn't exactly panning out. Go back in time. Plus, no president in recent history has had an extreme popularity problem at midterms except for Bush sr. and Carter.
NO OTHER PRESIDENT HAD TO DEAL WITH A TEA PARTY AND A DEPRESSION AT THE SAME TIME, NOT EVEN FDR.
IT'S FINE, YOU CAN DISLIKE OBAMA ALL YOU WANT BUT TRY TO BE A TAD OBJECTIVE ABOUT IT. I KNOW HE IS FAR FROM PERFECT, HE DISAPPOINTED ME ON MANY LEVELS, BUT I DON'T SEE JUST HOW MUCH WEAKER HE IS COMPARED TO PAST PRESIDENTS GIVEN THE CIRCUMSTANCES.
Well Marie, I think current history has just proved you wrong. It seems the President can notonly negotiate, but can come out on top. Plus 2010 and 2012 is history and the teapitty will be doing good if it makes it through the next election cycle.....just like the Know Nothing Party of the 1850's & 1860's. Watch and see who is inaugurated this month for a second term.
But Willard wants to go to the planet of kolob. He wants either his 70 wives like rapists Brigham Young or the 87 wives con artist Joseph Smith had. But I guess you are right he might want to go to Jackson County to await the second coming of the mormon cult polygamist Jesus Christ with rapist Joseph Smith at his side. The archangel moroni might want to come with some fake golden flying tables for the rapture. Maybe the mormon American-Indians that Jesus Christ preach can finally be seen. Wonder if Brigham's 19 wife who divorced him will show up. Anne Romney might have a crying hysteria if she doesn't show up. And Glenn Beck the mormon conspiracy theory nut can also show up with his freemasonry mormon cult symbols. Don't forget the magic underwear kolob gets cold.
I know it can be fun to pick on Mitt, but there are plenty of people in your own party to pick on like Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid and the wacko California and Massachusetts and Maryland and New York Liberals. Willard, as jean said, is irrelevant. Stick to them.
AND HARRY REID IS ALSO A MORMON.
THE PROBLEM IS BOTH MEN ARE POLITICIANS. THAT SLIMY, ICKY FEELING WE HAVE ABOUT BOTH MEN HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH MORMONISM ITSELF.
If I'm going to pick on someone responsible I will look to George W. Bush and Bonehead Boehner and his cronies.
well lets talk about the clintons cheating on each other...FDR, JFK, and yes LBJ who said he had more women than all the Kennedys put together....these are the real modern scum bags....John Kerry who married money and lied for medals then threw them in the garbage... And, there is obama the anti christ/American of all time... Mitt Romney is clean and you hate him for it...sick! You have what you deserve.
I can't wait for the Rick Santorum/Michelle Bachmann ticket of 2016. When Rick comes out of the closet and Michelle admits she has a lesbian sister maybe these bigots when they get their third thumping in an election will realize no one wants their Christian Right and Wall Street corruption agenda. Those FLDS members like Willard, flip flops like Franklin Graham, and Mike Huckabee hatemongers blaming Gays for gun violence will realize their day is over. Puritan American failed. Oliver Cromwell failed, the Confederacy failed, and Jerry Falwell and his moral majority failed. Their dreams will never be accomplished. Roe versus Wade is here to stay. Even Roberts says Roe is settled American law. Can't wait will the USA has Gay marriage like Canada, Catholic Spain, Lutheran Sweden and Reformed Church Holland and very soon England, France and Finland as well. What will you Christian Right nut cases do ? Get your free birth control and RU-486. The Republican party the party of the American Whig party. The Confederacy lost get over it you redneck theocrat Republicans. Newt Gingrich on his third wife and Rush on his fourth telling me about family values. HA Ha.
You seem to have this idea locked into your head that a Tea Party candidate is coming out of the Republican party. Again, look at the past, even after the Tea Party creation in 2010, Romney still was picked as the nominee- an establishment Republican. Granted, the man I wanted didn't run- same for a lot of people- but people still voted for Romney. If you forget, Obama only one by a similar margin to Bush vs. Kerry in 2004 only Obama one by a lot more electoral votes.
and while his visited the toops , the fiscal cliff joke continued with out him and alot of millitary personal are not geting paid as we speak
IF ONLY THE PRESIDENT CONTROLS THE PURSE STRINGS...
I THINK WE ALL GOT SPOILED BY WHEN GEORGE W. BUSH SEEMINGLY LED US ALL TO SPEND ON TWO VERY EXPENSIVE WARS THAT HAD NO LOGICAL END. IF THAT IS THE LEADERSHIP YOU ARE LOOKING FOR THEN YOU MUST HAVE VOTED FOR MITT ROMNEY. TOO BAD THE COUNTRY DID NOT AGREE WITH YOU.
can you read? Can you comprehend what you read? I dont think so...you just dont make sense..ignorant.
WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? DO YOU EVEN KNOW HOW THE US GOVERNMENT WORKS?
Bush's BIGGEST deficit was like 500 billion, and yet Obama is into the trillions- where did the extra come from. Don't tell me the wars suddenly started costing more money because we both know that's not true. You know what was funny, in this election Obama said he wanted to "get serious about the deficit." Why should anyone suddenly believe that he cares now?
UMM, THE WARS WERE NOT ON THE BOOKS BEFORE OBAMA TOOK OVER. DID YOU NOT KNOW THIS?
AND ONCE AGAIN, CONGRESS CONTROLS THE BUDGET. THEY COULD HAVE EASILY SAID NO TO ALL THE SPENDING ON STIMULUS AS WELL ON THE TWO WARS. WHERE WOULD WE BE WITHOUT STIMULUS SPENDING I WONDER? THAT'S UP FOR DEBATE, ALTHOUGH MOST WOULD AGREE WE WOULD BE BETTER OFF WITHOUT THE LONGEST WARS IN OUR NATION'S HISTORY.
.
LET'S NOT FORGET THE TARP, MEDICARE PART D, AND THOSE 'TEMPORARY' BUSH TAX CUTS.
let the sequester stand... it is the only responsible thing to do...force cuts and raise spending...then tie obama's hands behind his back on the debt limit..freeze this slim ball out! Go get em Tea Party.
THE TEA PARTY WILL BECOME EXTINCT BY THE MIDTERMS.
THE PARTY OF 'NO' WILL BE TOLD 'NO' BY THE PEOPLE COME 2014.
I don't expect a big switch, but I will watch the House and Senate... A lot of vulnerable seats in the Senate for Dems this year.
I don't think anything but the Senate is going to turn.
With Obama it's all about the power, he'll literally do anything to keep it. I'd hate to be somebody who got in his way, Obama and his propaganda machine will make sure any "enemies" are crushed into submission.
Frank Hope he crushes you first you moron. Jerry the tea party is a wart on the butt of the republican party. It needs removing before the cancer spreads.
I know everyone rags on the Tea Party, but really... I mean if they are SOOO awful, why did you guys (the Democrats) lose a bunch of seats in 2010. Granted, a few of them said some crazy and dumb stuff (specifically Todd Akin), but they have great influence still, for better or worse for the Republican party.
ALL THEY HAVE DONE IS SAY NO TO EVERYTHING. WHAT'S SO GREAT ABOUT THE TEA PARTY? SOMETIMES YOU CAN DO MORE BY BEING LESS EXTREME AND ANTAGONISTIC. NOT TO MENTION, LESS CRAZY.
Because the Progressive Liberals are soo willing to compromise and are so un-extreme. Do Democrats not think their left wing is extreme?
I FIND THEM LESS OFFENSIVE. WHY WOULD I HATE PEOPLE WHO WANT GOVERNMENT SPENDING ON THOSE LESS FORTUNATE? WHEN DID IT BECOME SO WRONG TO FIGHT FOR MORE EQUALITY? FOR BETTER WORKING CONDITIONS AND WAGES?
THE TEA PARTY? THEY CLAIM THEY WANT TO STOP RAMPANT GOVERNMENT SPENDING. I FIND THAT HILARIOUS. I WANT TO SEE THEM SUPPORT LESS DEFENSE SPENDING. WHAT DO YOU THINK THE ODDS ARE OF THEM SAYING NO TO MORE MONEY FOR MORE FIGHTER JETS, SHIPS, ETC. MANUFACTURED IN THEIR HOME STATES? THIS IS NOT JUST TRUE OF REPUBLICANS BUT DEMOCRATS AS WELL, BUT SINCE NOBODY ACCUSES DEMOCRATS OF BEING SHY ON SPENDING ANYWAY... WHY RUIN SUCH A WELL CRAFTED STEREOTYPE?
DON'T GET ME WRONG, GOVERNMENT SPENDING NEEDS TO CHANGE SO IT IS DONE WISELY AND WITH LESS WASTE. BOTH SIDES NEED TO COME UP WITH LONG TERM PLANS TO STOP WASTEFUL SPENDING. IT TAKES OPEN COOPERATION FROM ALL SIDES, NOT OBSTRUCTION AND STUBBORN IDEOLOGY.
Of course the government needs to help those less fortunate, but are you telling me that 16 million more on food stamps in 4 years is absolutely necessary. Are there not some who take advantage of the system. And I think that since 2 wars are coming to a close then defense spending should be decreased. Spending NEEDS TO BE CUT FROM A LOT OF AREAS. But the some Democrats on the Senate want nothing to do with cuts in spending. I don't consider a reduction in the rate of growth as a spending cut either.
SINCE NOBODY WOULD WILLINGLY GO ON FOOD STAMPS UNLESS IT WAS NECESSARY SO I AM GUESSING YES, IT PROBABLY WAS NECESSARY. LISTEN, YOU CAN CUT ALL THE FOOD STAMPS, IT WON'T MAKE MUCH OF A DENT TO THE DEBT. YOU WILL JUST END UP WITH A LOT OF HUNGRY KIDS AND FAMILIES, WHILE THE FRAUDSTERS WILL FIND SOMETHING ELSE TO STEAL.
AS I HAVE SAID, I AM AGAINST WASTEFUL SPENDING AND THAT INCLUDES FRAUD. THERE'S A LOT OF FRAUD IN ALL LEVELS OF GOVERNMENT SPENDING, BUT IF ARE TELLING ME THAT SOME WELFARE QUEEN IS THE PROBLEM WHILE TURNING A BLIND EYE TO DEFENSE CONTRACTORS THAT OVERCHARGE THE GOVT? YOU'VE GOT TO BE JOKING.
I THINK WE BASICALLY WANT THE SAME THING, WE JUST NEED TO GET IT ALL WORKED OUT BY OUR ELECTED OFFICIALS. A REDUCTION IN THE RATE OF GROWTH IS A TINY START BUT THEY NEED TO DIG DEEPER IF THEY WANT TO BE SERIOUS ABOUT FACING OUR DEBT.
There are people that DON'T WANT TO WORK and will go on food stamps to get money. So many people abuse the system. My wife was a visiting nurse for 35 years and used to come home everyday to complain about these people (obviously not everyone). Medicare and Medicaid and Social Security have so much waste. It is time to reform entitlements.
