Even though I’ve been at this business for a while, it still amazes me what the Democrats say. The debt is out of control… spending is going crazy… and our taxes are about to go up. When asked how long it will take to turn the economy around, Obama’s spokesman said, “An enormous amount of time.” Hello! We’ve seen what’s happened in less than two years. Do you want to give Obama an “enormous amount of time?”
Check out this exchange at Wednesday’s White House press briefing:
How does he do that with a straight face?
Given an “enormous amount of time,” what do you really think Obama and his team would do? Do you think they’d lower your taxes? Do you think they’d move more control out of Washington and back to the states? Do you think they’d start being patriotic instead of bashing America at every turn? Raise your hand if you want to give them an “enormous amount of time.”
What else are they going to say? Their programs have really had little impact on the recovery of our economy and they are going to rationalize it as a work in progress and that if we give it more time, it will work out.
It is not going to improve as we need it to because their economic strategy is wrong to start with, and it is a form of insanity when we keep doing the same thing and expecting the outcome to be different.
It is basic. It is a battle between the private enterprise concept and the big/nanny government concept. It is a battle between capitalism and socialism.
America was conned once into voting for Obama and his progressives, but, no more. We should not believe any of their promises anymore and it is clear that we need to change out as many of those in Congress that have been supporting the Obama agenda.
It is almost a “now or never” point in the history of this country.
Yea, he needs more time, Bobby.
He needs more time to create non-existant birth documents, and to pay off University administrators so he can alter school records to prove he is not an alien, (probably illegal at that) and remove any evidence of foreign student financial aid.
He needs time to create diversions, which his handlers are masters at, to to keep public focus elswhere while he is accomplishing the above.
He needs time to formulate the wording on the executive order he plans to issue, giving blanket amnesty to 12 (20) million illegal aliens.
He needs more time to have ACORN (or whatever they call themselves now) LaRaza, Mecha de Atslan, MALDEF and other radical groups to register all the greatful, newly amnestied illegals for the Democratic party, so they may vote to reelect him in 2012.
Yes, the liar in chief needs lots of time.
I pray to G-d, to help us save our Republic.
How about we give him all the time he needs–only catch is that he has to come back out of the Lake Of Fire!?
OBAMA NEEDS AMOUNT OF TIME TO DISMANTLE AMERICA AND ENABLE HIS ISLAMIC FRIENDS TO CONTROL MIDDLE EAST AND MISLEAD AMERICAN PEOPLE AND HARM FREE WORLD FROM INSIDE
We need to fix this country quickly before all the WWII veterans pass on thinking we let their courage and sacrifices go to waste!
In fact, we need to get back on the right track so EVERY veteran understands that the people of this country won’t go quietly into the night while an overreaching government carelessly and stupidly destroys the principles they fought and died for!
The only way the economy will improve is to increase steady commerce between businesses. This can be easily accomplished by changing the tax law so as to create an incentive for this to occur.
An easy way would be to require banks to set aside a portion of the payroll tax that can then be used to finance purchases. The banks would be more apt to loan monies knowing that they are already receiving the installment funds in the form of the employer’s tax contributions.
This would be the most fair way to distribute wealth as anyone in business could play by the same rules with equal opportunity.
Section 179 of the IRS rules regarding accelerated depreciation should be increased to $1M. This would encourage businesses to purchase newer technologies which would increase the need for labor and thus jobs would follow.
This president has demonstrated a nearly complete disregard for the Constitution and a total commitment to his personal agenda. What character trait has he demonstrated that would convince anyone that he would not usurp the Constitution to secure for himself the “enormous amount of time” that his disciples evidently believe that he needs? I hope I’m wrong, but could it be that we are looking at America’s first “president for life”?
I’m with Jay Leno . . . I think we should GIVE B.O. an enormous amount of time. . . 25 years to life sounds about right!
This could be laughable if not so pathetic. These guys really believe that we are all that stupid that this lame regurgitation of the lie will eventually be adorned with the mantle of gospel truth.
With the help of a compliant, incompetent media they successfully repressed any of Obama’s background that might reveal his lack of qualifications, connections to radicals or his true political motivations; portrayed him, with the help of the insidious teleprompters, as the man who would heal the great partisan divide, end racial bigotry and heal a “severely wounded” nation.
It worked. Flawlessly.
The scam soon became apparent but they remain committed to their devious strategy, equating America’s gullibility with stupidity while they choke on their own smoke.
Gibbs is a pawn struggling to keep from drowning in the swamp the king put him in while the king struts around touting his own brilliance dealing with the terrible economic situation he “inherited” from all those long, long years of Republican malfeasance. Poor baby! He just needs more time; maybe an enormous amount; maybe until 2016. Rome wasn’t built in a day you know!
I thought I’d check out this site and get a sense for what ideas the right have for fixing all of the things that need fixing. Here’s what I find:
1. You’re still harping on the birther thing and conspiracy theories about some sinister Muslim plot. Really? How productive of you.
2. You spend nearly all of your time and energy lamenting what horrible things Obama is doing and barely any time at all proposing actual solutions. WHAT, EXACTLY, DO YOU PROPOSE? WHAT, EXACTLY, ARE THE PROGRAMS YOU WOULD CUT? WHAT, EXACTLY, IS YOUR PROPOSAL TO FIX HEALTH CARE? HOW, EXACTLY, WILL YOU PAY FOR THE PROGRAMS YOU WOULDN’T CUT? I see no hardcore, specific proposals from anyone on the right.
3. Kootiekiller proposes something that, if Obama proposed it, would be derided by the right as blocking free enterprise and the very essence of capitalism, namely, telling banks what to do with their money. He then proposes changing the depreciation rules, which is exactly what Obama proposed and which is being held up by the GOP because they know it will likely work.
4. Then there is the whole illegal alien issue. Was there outrage when Bush proposed his amnesty plan? Beyond that, see #2 above. WHAT, EXACTLY, IS YOUR PLAN FOR DEALING WITH ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION? HOW, EXACTLY, ARE YOU GOING TO PAY FOR IT? Rounding up illegals and shipping them back to their homelands will require a lot of money and manpower, not to mention the international diplomacy required, and the new lawyers the government will need to hire to defend against all the lawsuits. (And, once all the illegal immigrant labor force is gone, food, hospitality, and many other items will likely triple in cost as employers pass on the higher wages they have to pay legal workers, be they citizens or not.) So, again, what is your plan?
5. And of course, every good discussion with the right has to include the word “Constitution” along with a smug belief that they are infallibly versed in what is and isn’t “constitutional.” Please.
Overall, the lack of actual ideas and suggestions, the finger pointing, the conspiracy mongering and the vague “take back our country from the hands of these (insert derogatory word or phrase here i.e. socialists, liberal elites, tax and spenders, progressives, etc.) is really getting old, and annoying.
As for the debt, I’m sure you’re all aware that $10.1 trillion is directly attributable to Reagan and H.W. Bush, and another $2.6 trillion to W, so I won’t even mention it.
Is he out of him mind an enormous of time it has gotten worse and worse everyday and I don’t intend to give any more time to distroy our wonderful USA.
I cannot stand even looking at Barry Soetoro much less giving more time for me to get sicker and sicker NO WAY.
Hey notbuyingit I personally sent this president an email with solutions about how to solve this issues before they spent bilions of dollars and this moron went ahead with his solution anyway. My solution was perfect and may not have helped everyone but would have save several hundred jobs by helping were people needed help. Instead the people who really needed help didn’t get it and lost there houses anyway. This president doesn’t understand economics as well as doesn’t understand that the last parts of his health plan are failures. I also emailed him to follow Japan’s health plan not this garbage he proposed. As well as in the Constitution it states THAT A CONSUMER CAN’T BE FORCED TO PURCHASE GOODS THEY DON’T NEED OR WANT. Forcing everyone to buy heathcare is a against this amendment. So before you say noone has given him advice think again I tried and he won’t listen so I say get him out of office. We don’t need anyone in there who won’t listen to the public or advisers who tell him the best solutions while he decides that they are wrong. HE IS JUST ANOTHER SPOON FED RICH GUY WHO CARE’S ABOUT NOONE BUT HIMSELF.
Watch out!!!! This could be the start of an executive order!!!!! Get rid of them now!!!!!
Okay, you leftist troll, here you go:
1. If by ‘birther’ (stupid use of the language), you mean our questions about the boy in the White House’s eligibility for office, there’s only one question to open up the truth. If indeed he’s eligible by birth, why has he spent over $2-million to keep his personal data secret?
2. a) Repeal the healthcare ‘reform’ bill with its onerous requirements on employers and individuals; b) defund the remaining ‘stimulus’ slush account; c) renew the existing tax rates (they’re not cuts when they’ve been in force as long as they have); d) provide tax incentives (not handouts) to businesses hiring or rehiring; e) reduce the number of petty tax and regulatory laws that add thousands of hours to unproductive business owners’ overhead; f) abolish the employers tax deduction for health insurance and give it to individuals only bccause without deep pockets, costs would go down; g) privatize Social Security since even if the funds were banked, they’d produce a larger return than the niggardly federal one.
More could be added to the list but you’re probably not a deep thinker and this has you reeling already.
3. Covered by 2 (g) above, more or less.
4. Little financial outlay other than enforcing current law is involved If employers are penalized for hiring illegals, their jobs will dry up, and they’ll go home. Also, no benefits of any kind to illegals and a law clarifying the 14th Amendment: No anchor babies.
5. Our Constitution is the longest lasting and shortest documents of its kind. It’s quite straightforward and doesn’t require anything but a perfunctory knowledge of English to comprehend. Have you ever read it? Doubtful.
Your elitist attitude is not only ignorant but lacks foundation. Even accepting your laughable assertion that all national debt until Jan/09 was from Jan/81 and on, the boy has managed to more than double it in only 19 months.
We’re prepared to deal with trolls like you in this forum.
1.The Tea Party has given goals and direction, mister “notbuyingit “. The Obamas and democrats in congress and senate do not even bother to read the legislation they pass. How Pathetic.
2. Even though I do not completely agree with it, the Republicans just published a 26 document detailing a REAL plan.
3. Tea Party / Conservatives of both parties (not socialist elites (Regressives, oh, Prgressives) are using Keynesian economic theories which failed under FDR, most of Europe, USSR, Cuba, Venezuela, etc.
4. If all people are equally poor, how can you have government that taxes those who have nothing and redistributes the non-wealthly money equally? Making new wealth via PROFITS (fairly taxed) helps make all people have good standards of living.
5. Why are government employees making so much more money than the common people of the USA? Most of them only work part of the day and mess around the rest of the time. Just look at how unbusy they are when you enter a government office!!
6.Yes, we hated it when the RINO President Bush proposed amnesty! No! we don’t want illegal persons given the right that others must follow rules to obtain. THAT IS NOT FAIR, NOR AMERICAN WAY. If you must import new people, try taking them from other countries in an alternating way! Not all from Spainish speaking countries (not biased, just fair!) That way we continue as a MELTING POT of all people, not just one area! Maybe that way they will speak American (English) and NOT way the flags of their previous countries!
7. Term Limits for all Elected Officials!
Dear Not Buying It,
Glad you made your thoughts known. Let me take a moment to address each one.
1) Even though you are not buying the birther thing and conspiracy theories I’m sure you’d agree that progressives like yourself have had many a good conspiracy theory yourself. 9/11 truthers comes to mind. So let’s drop the pretense and how productive of you comments.
2) We are lamenting what Obama has done because Obama has done them. Look around. What has he done that worked? As for specifics see the pledge from the young gun republicans, all 21 pages of specifics. I’d love to see liberal democrats come up with something similar like taking money out of the pockets of those that produce jobs and give it to those who don’t. I’m sure that will work. What do you call that, “Trickle Up Economics”?
3) I know that a clock that doesn’t work is right twice a day so I have to admit that Obama is correct if he wants to change depreciation rules to give businesses an incentive to make purchases providing that one good idea isn’t mixed in with a bunch of bad ideas.
4) Most conservatives I know did not want the Bush or McCain amnesty plan. As for your lament about prices increasing to pay legal US citizens don’t you think that’s a good thing. I know I’d rather pay a little more for a hotel stay or a meal if I knew legal US citizens where employed rather than collecting unemployment checks and government sponsored programs. Maybe I’d even have enough extra money in my pocket to pay those higher costs if the size and cost of government where reduced and taxes cut. What a novel idea. I wonder if the progressives ever thought of it, getting rid of illegals and cutting taxes so us legal US taxpayers would have more money so we wouldn’t mind paying a little bit more to private sector businesses that employed legal citizens.
5) Good to see you think that words like “socialists, liberal elites, tax and spenders, progressive” are derogatory. I always thought they where simple words that identified those people that thought the way you do. What do you suggest we call people on the left (wait, you may think the word left is derogatory). Hmmm, what to do.
As for the debt, maybe you should look to who controlled congress when all the spending happened. I’d bet you’d find that democrats had control.
What I really want to know is where you think the ideas of the left will lead us and exactly where in history can you point that these ideas have worked.
I don’t think the job of president of the U.S.should be ocupied with people with on the job training.
Wow. Some actual discussion. Conner thinks his solution is perfect because it would have saved “hundreds of jobs” but Obama ignored him. That’s good conner. Are you the only person who sent a perfect plan that Obama didn’t use or did other people send perfect plans that he didn’t use, as well?
KMcC, I can’t tell what points you’re trying to make. The Teapublicans are using failed economic theory? Government employees are universally well paid? Every republican reads every word of every piece of legislation he or she votes on? We’re all poor? We can summon laborers from other countries as needed in a rotating selection process and turn them into legal immigrants? I’ll just assume you’re having a bad day.
FlaJim starts by calling me a name then makes a slightly racial slur when referring to Obama (“boy” is a racial slur when directed at a black male, sir.) So, while there may be some merit to a couple of his suggestions, the fact that he can’t conduct a civilized conversation means his opinions have less legitimacy.
That leaves Conservative-Thunder, who I believe is actually trying for a civil conversation. While he lumps me in with every progressive nut job with his response to my first original point, I’ll forgive him that, but remind him that I was referring to actual comments made on this page, not to assumptions. I will attempt to converse with C-T as we continue, and anyone else who wants a civil dialogue. Unfortunately, I have to go feed my 3 1/2 year old and won’t be back until later. But, it is nice to know there’s at least one person out there who isn’t interested in name calling and broad stroking everything.
I believe you hit it right on the nail, notbuyingit!!!
Your notbuyingit because you are unemployed and can’t, or are you just blind? Just thought I’d ask.
Hey, notbuying it!
I’m not buying it either…
Productive or not, I’m not buying the concept that Obama is a citizen. Why spend millions to prevent others from learning about you if you have nothing to hide? Wouldn’t it be easier to just open up?
I’m not buying ANYTHING Obama says because he has lied WAY too many times for me to trust him. He’s a con man. Tells you what you want to hear, then does whatever he pleases. You want examples? I can give you a long list…
As for proposing solutions, I’m not buying the prospect that you are unaware of the MULTITUDE of solutions proposed by members and supporters of our party for every issue on the table today, because you would have to be either blind, deaf, or simply naive to make as absurd a claim as that.
You think you can just come on this site out of the clear blue and, because discussion on this particular issue is not chock full of proposed solutions, that we don’t have any??? Come on… You seem to be smarter than that. Why not do a bit of research before blundering in with your talking points and irrelevant drivel. Absent that, you continue to promulgate the stereotypical impression we all have of the uninformed, “blame it on Bush”, “avoid the truth via obfuscation”, “personal attacking when backed into a corner by irrefutable logic and common sense” liberal…
And as for what the LEFT is doing to “solve the country’s problems”, I definitely am not buying ANY of that. Look at the devastation YOU are doing to our once great nation. And, if I have to go into detail, then I have to assume you ARE naive – either that, or in deep denial. And forget about blaming it on republicans. This crap all started when the dems took control of Congress during Bush’s presidency. Straight downhill from there, particularly with what DEMS Frank and Dodd did with Fannie and Freddie… It is DEMOCRATS, and their ridiculous socialist ideology, that caused us to be where we are today.
And look where we are now after two horrible years under the Constitution trampling Muslim, Comrade Hussein Obama. We’re in bad shape and ANY plan is better than his.
I pray that we are lucky enough to get out of this with some semblance of a country that looks like it did before this bumbling, inexperienced, inept, illegal alien socialist wreaked his havoc. Beyond prayer, I, and millions like me, will be at the polls in droves this November and you and the rest of the lemmings who blindly and irresponsibly bought into his charm and rhetoric will learn what we, the people, want, and trust me, it ain’t the socialism that YOU want…
And November is just the beginning. Obama will be OUT in 2012 (if he’s not impeached or arrested for impersonating an American before then) and will go down in history as this nation’s worst PRESIDENT.
Not THAT, I’m buying…
Finally, I could care less if you respond, or “forgive me” for any of the comments I made herein, when you come back from feeding your 3 1/2 year old because, if you voted for the boy, then it is YOU, sir, who lacks legitimacy, for I prefer to engage in conversation with someone who has at least a modicum of intellect, someone smart enough not to be completely duped by such an obviously transparent con man…
I have been reading the comments of the folks on this site for some time. While some comments are a bit lame (I would include some of mine) they show a concern for the way things are going politically. It is not up to anyone here to make some brilliant recommendation that will miraculously fix all of this countries problems.
If that were the case WE would not need a government, but some pretty smart people wrote the constitution to give future generation a guidline for success. There is never going to be a 100% agreement on what is needed, but using the tools that have been handed down from 1776 to date, gives us an idea of how it should work. WE have had some poor representitives through out the years there is no doubt of that. to blame any past president for what has been done TODAY is just plan stupid.
WE have issues, and WE want people that will represent what the MAJORITY of people want, in order to fix those issues, you know WE THE PEOPLE. It isn’t rocket science. WE want health care that is fare to all AMERICANS, We want illegal immagants to be legal(no amnesty), WE would really like to see a fare tax system, and most of all WE want our elected officials to stand by the CONSTITUTION that they took an oath to uphold.
Anyone that does not buy it should move to one of the socialist or communist countries and get a real first hand look at why so many their people have come to this country. If those countries were so wonderfull, why would they want the freedoms that WE offer in the USA?
You bet I’m not buyingit, stand up and be counted because those of us who believe in the constitution and a honest days work are sick of lazy slackers, taking our money and spending it in a casino, or waisting it on drugs. WE may not have the exact way WE are going to solve those issues, but WE will get them solved, in part by not re-electing people that do not represent our concerns. NO MORE CAREER POLITICIANS is a pretty good place to start.
And while WE are solving problems, WE will ask GOD to help……. GOD BLESS AMERICA
Not racial at all, they just sent a BOY to do a MANS job.
Correction – Now THAT, I’m buying…
I am afraid you are having a battle of wits with an unarmed person
