Obama attacks GOP on economy, tax cuts

This idiot attacks the GOP but promotes the mosque in NYC.

Change I can believe in is firing Obama.

Well as Mark Twain once said: " There is nothing certain in life, but death and taxes!"
F.M.

Let's see now.... the Democrats have overwhelming majorities in both the House of Representatives and the Senate, Barack Obama has been President for nearly two years, and the Dem's have actually had control of Congress since 2006, yet everything is the fault of the Republicans? Obama's problem is that there are not enough left-wingers in Congress to back up his radical agenda. There are not enough Republicans in office to single-handedly stop anything he wants to do, yet he places all the blame for everything going wrong on them. Politics as usual. I think by now even some of his most ardent supporters are tiring of hearing the same old blame-the-Republicans-and-Bush for all of his shortcomings. Barack Obama is not now, nor was he ever, presidential material.

Really. I saw his news conference this morning. When asked about Gitmo he complained and whined that it should be closed--as if he were just a junior senator from Illinois and in a party out of power. He's nothing but excuses and blamegame BS. What a disaster he's been.

I'll bet he's really good at planning White House parties and vacations with Michelle, and I'll bet his golf handicap has improved too. These things will help him when he goes back to being a community organizer in 2013, if they will even let the incompetent fool do that anymore.

The US can't afford to borrow 700 billion form China over the next 10 years so the average millionair can get a $100,000.00 per year tax cut.

Enough with the class envy BS that says high earners owe us money. As far as I'm concerned Income Tax is a BAD idea we got along without until FDR started all this soak the rich whining.
They already pay most of the taxes.
Quit spending money on people who have no interest in getting a job and on illegal immigrants and foreign aid to countries that hate us anyway.
No more nanny state cradle to grave thinking. Leave the people alone to prosper and quit interferring with every aspect of our lives.

97% of the population of the US are not deadbeats as you suggested. Most are hard working individuals who try to provide for their families but are tired of the average CEO making over 2,000 times what the person does who actually provides the service or goods make.

Why would anyone be tired of someone being more successful than they are? This attitude smacks of class envy, and very possibly laziness. The opportunity to succeed should give one incentive to try harder, get a better education, and handle their money better in order to improve their lot in life. There is always going to be someone making more money than the average individual, just as there will always be somebody making less. Why worry over what someone else is doing when that time would be better spent trying to improve one's own situation. Keep in mind that if it weren't for wealthy people taking risks with their money there would be no services or goods to be provided by the average worker. As the old saying goes, "I never got a job from a poor person". You should be happy that you live in a country that allows for people to succeed, instead of complaining because some people have been much more successful than yourself.

Outstanding response. America has become a nanny state, with a good chunk of the population walking around with their hands out, looking for a freebie rather than something that they would have to earn. They are always ready to increase taxes on someone else in order to continue on the gravy train. The main culprits? The politicians, looking to get reelected, always ready to give away another dollar in order to secure another vote.

Most taxpayers have plenty of their paychecks stolen by the government. It is not our fault that the idiots at every level of government don't know a thing about economics and responsible spending.

President Barry is just the latest in a long line of economically clueless politicians that have not spent a day in the private sector, but somehow know what is best for it. Never started a business, set up a budget, met a payroll, or dealt with the idiocy of government bureaucrats looking for another way to steal a few more dollars.

Republicans, democrats - it does not matter. Thieves, liars, incompetents most of them. They spend their time yelling at each other about what is best for us, when only we know what is best for us. Yet when we attempt to tell them, they do not listen, but instead go back behind closed doors to enact some more legislation that drives another stake in the heart of businesses throughout the country.

Hopefully the republicans win enough seats this fall to create a bureaucratic standstill. At this point, our best option is to have government grind to a halt. Let them sit in Congress and the White House and scream at each other about who is right and/or wrong, without actually accomplishing anything. It will give Americans a break from idiocy, and might provide some riveting entertainment on C-SPAN.

My eight year old son blames his sister for all of his screw ups too. I always hate such childish nonsense. Every problem is ALWAYS someone else' fault.

But, I'm not one of those "progressives". They have far lower standards than I and expect far less from their President than I do my grade school age children so maybe this will work for Obama.

Comrad Husien Obama are very intolerant to any competition or critisizme.

Please define 'overwhelming majority'.

So in your opinion we are to become a country where at any given time, one party will be in charge, the overwhelming majority, such that they will set policy with no accountability for what is in the best interest for the Country and with no checks an balances? Somewhere between dictatorship and plantation mentality. Just curious.

So how you doing on those Social Security checks? You gonna clear 40K this year. Bet you are hoping the Bush tax cuts are extended so you and the other republicans making 250K a year can plan your next vacation or new car purchase.

You sad pathetic clown.

Another pleasant post from Spike. Always includes a bit of name-calling to show how small a person he/she really is. When you clean up your act, I might take the time to respond to your questions.

I usually find your posts relevant but this one is ridiculous. Blatant "Class Warfare" is beneath you Spike.

This is nothing but another stab in the dark in an attempt to swing a few more votes the dems way.

President Barry has had a congressional majority since he took office, yet continues to blame republicans for anything that does not immediately go his way. Maybe he ought to look at the moderate democrats who are not playing partisan politics and buying everything he is selling strictly along party lines.

It is amazing to see anyone support any type of tax increase on already overtaxed Americans. This should not be a left versus right issue, but rather an us versus the government issue. Let them get spending under some type of control before they start stealing more from American paychecks.

If the expiring tax cuts had been put in place under a democrat president, do you believe that the same lefty bloggers, posters, talking heads, and politicians would be fighting so hard in support of their termination? Or is this just another way for them to continue to blame everything on a president that has been out of office for almost 20 months?

Aw, the acrid stench of Class Warfare. You are such a good little Marxist.

Every American adult knows that MODERATION is the ONLY PATH TO reasonable governance. Imposing the Left's will on the rest of us ain't workin' out to well for Mr. Obama. He let Comrade Pelosi lead him off a cliff.

Clinton quit pandering to the far Left after he lost Congress but I wonder if Obama is as sharp as Clinton??? We will see.

lol, obama's done himself in: kept on warring and then gave us the health tax.

You gotta go, sir!

Along with the rest of the Hill Marxists, both dems and repubs.

Tea baggers, we're counting on you, and we be watching ya.
