Lindsey Graham: Obama ‘Won’ Fiscal Cliff Deal, and ‘Hats Off’ to Him

Lindsey Graham: Obama Won Fiscal Cliff Debate, Tax Increases Are Coming

(AP File Photo)

Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) pre-emptively congratulated President Obama on his “victory” in the fiscal cliff debate Sunday, but said the success is “hollow” in terms of averting the various crises currently facing the nation.

He explained on Fox News Sunday:

“What have we accomplished? Political victory for the president. Hats off to the president– he stood his ground. He’s going to get tax rate increases– maybe not at [$250,000], but on upper-income Americans.

“And the sad news for the country is that we’ve accomplished very little in not becoming Greece, or getting out of debt. This deal won’t affect the debt situation. And it will be a political victory for the president, and I hope we have courage of our convictions when it comes to raise the debt ceiling to fight what we believe as Republicans. But hats off to the president; he won.”

On CNN, Graham elaborated on the president’s reported unwillingness to strike a deal, despite his repeated calls for bipartisanship and fairness.

“[President Obama] is really, quite frankly, small-minded in consequential times. I find him to be a hard guy to know and understand,” he stated.

But the bottom line, according to Graham, is getting a deal passed. If they don’t– and fast– a frightening number of taxes are set to increase and military spending will be slashed.

Graham would prefer to see the Bush-era tax rates extended for all Americans, he said, but will vote to avert the worst of the tax increases and spending cuts.

“I want to vote for it, even though I won’t like it, because the country has got a lot at stake here,” he concluded.

  While listening to Mr. Sinatra, he was singing this song written by Kris Kristofferson and recorded in JUN1973… Then this article came up and oh the irony:
  ♫ Anymore it doesn’t matter who’s right or wrong.
  We’ve been injurin’ each other much too long.
  And it’s too late to try to save what might have been.
  It’s over; nobody wins. ♫
  
  ♫ Make believin’ in forever is just a lie.
  And it seems a little sadder each time we try.
  ‘Cause it’s a shame to make the same mistake again and again.
  It’s over; nobody wins. ♫
  
  ♫ We’ve gone too far, too long, too far apart.
  The lovin’ was easy; it’s the livin’ that’s hard.
  For there’s no need to stay to see the way it ends.
  It’s over; nobody wins. ♫

  IF DEMOCRATS FEAR PEOPLE BUYING GUNS NOW JUST WAIT FOR OBAMA TO RAISE MILK TO $10/gal.
  
  Lets go for $15/gal on milk and $85 minimum wage. That will really be the end of the USA for good. Obama won the election.

  I watched Meet The Press this morning and just about threw up. Besides covering the fiscal cliff, Obama talked, I mean LIED abut Susan Rice and Benghazi Libya and David Gregory NEVER followed up, never questioned him about his lie that Rice reported the best info they had at the time. David Gregory is a disgrace:

  I WANT TO HEAR FROM ALL THOSE FAMILIES WHOSE CHILDREN DON’T QUALIFY FOR FREE MILK IN SCHOOL
  
  The Government will buy up milk at $8/gal to keep the price high and then give the $8/gal milk away to other nations for free. Do not complain people when you little kids ask why they cannot have a glass of milk at meal time. How about Kook Ade, kids drank Kool Ade at Johnstown, remember.
  
  You mothers will have to pay $8/gal for milk so Obama’s supporters can have free cell phones and free phone calls every month. Don’t blame the TEA because Obama gave $25 Billion to Brazil last year. Let your kids get use to drinking cold tap water from the sink with their bare bread sandwiches.

  The problem with both dems and republicans is…
  Do you know who theFabians (with logo of wolf in sheep’s clothing), SDS, Frankfurt School and Willi Munzenberg, John Dewey , Antonio Gramsci, Mattechine Society, Alinksi (who dedicated his book “Rules for Radicals to Lucifer), which Obama taught in Chicago for years, Committees of Correspondence are? Connect all the dots that allowed Obama to waltz into the White House…
  
  All part of the Agenda to create an America so corrupt it stinks; use public policy to subvert America from inside, infiltrate and influence our culture driving us in a direction designed to destroy us. . If you don’t know all this you need to find out!
  I have watched it 12X to absorb all that is in it!
  
  This is the most comprehensive, best movie I have seen pulling all this together. Watch it. Share it. Arrange a showing in church, groups, clubs, with friends or family. Everyone who loves America needs to see this movie,
  It is free on line for the moment

  DEMOCRATS THINK ITS 1860 AGAIN
  
  They think that its just the South were Americans are buying guns and learning how to use them. We have news for them, Americans all over the nation are buying guns now. Its not a regional issue about whether the Federal Government should be allowed to continue but a national issue. Its not just the South anymore.

  I noticed that you only denigrate and never support anything. Where does your precious Ron Paul stand on this issue? How many parties do you want? Let me guess…. only one? The RP party? Ron Paul is is a Republican and is going away. His Son is a Republican and is staying. I really don’t understand you guys. Always saying one thing yet always doing something diametrically opposed to your philosophy. Can’t wait to read the “pork” RP introduced before he “Quits” and runs away…

  ====================
  
  Ron Paul has always advocated an influx of competition……
  
  Whether it’s the ‘money’ that we use, the cars we buy, or the candidates that we choose then adequate levels of competition always provide us with the highest quality product or service for the best value….
  
  Only liberals want to use the rulebook to restrict our available selection of cars to purchase from down to only GM and Chrysler….

  Hi Monk,
  
  My brother now you see what I have been saying about the hypocrisy on here.
  That being said I think we will suffer through the birthing of a 3rd party because the 2 parties are currently dysfunctional. They appear to be working together against the American dream in order to retain power.
  Not all but most politicians are in the tank and that will always bring change weather good or bad.
  
  So for now just enjoy each day and depend on God to carry you through each days problems and rejoice in the blessings that you have because surely tomorrow will bring a new day.
  
  Have a Happy New Year bro (: (: (: (: 4 monks smiling

  AMEN…time to put this all in the right perspective..We must give to the government that which they want (LAWS PASSED) and to GOD what is HIS which is EVERYTHING! So how does that work. Learning that if GOD commands it then we should do it. So people it is simple. This life is going to end. For some it will be shortly for others 50 years etc. Fact is tomorrow is not a guarantee nor is the next hour. So LOOK TO BOOK OF JOHN…NOW is the time of SALVATION. If we do not turn to JESUS and you die without him where will you go? Heaven? Hell? That is the question that needs to be answered..NOTHING ELSE MATTERS!
  Country needs a FULL BLOWN REVIVAL..let it begin with anyone that will pray for this. A GENERAL COUNTRY WIDE REVIVAL….

“I want to vote for it, even though I won’t like it, because the country has got a lot at stake here,” he concluded.

This is the kind of spineless jelly fish, the foundation stone, of reasons for the elimination of the Republican Party. Let it go the way of the Whigs to be replaced by a Constitution supporting party. “I want to vote for it even though I won’t like “t”…why not drink hemlock for the same reason, and be done with your miserable self?

Current Nat. Debt: 16,250,000,000,000

Cut out the 0′s and put it in terms we use at home

Credit Card Debt: 162,500
New Debt This Year: 16,500
We Made Some Cuts (to show we are saving money): 38.50

That is how our government spends.

  Show me the 38.50 cuts. There are NONE. LESS deficit spending, is not a cut. When you are spending past your income and then decide not to spend as MUCH past your income, (I repeat) NOT A CUT. Let’s say I make $100,000, but I spent $150.000 this year. Next year, I have things and places to go and it’s going to cost me $175.00, but my income is still $100.000. I look at my budget and say to myself, hey, I better cut back. I think I will CUT my spending to $174.000, that should help. This strategy to put your finances in order does not work. Everyone knows it. We need true cuts, they will hurt us all, but there is NO other choice. ( I have called my congressman’s offices, there local office and their D.C. Office. How many of you have done the same. If you haven’t please do so. Here is a couple links to make it easier/ Contacting the Congress: A Citizen’s Congressional Directory
  http://www.contactingthecongress.org/ and Find Your Representative · House.gov

  Unfortunately, your belief that anyone you listed here will be paying more taxes is fantasy; Warren Buffet’s annual salary is $100,000. The money he makes off his investments go into trusts and foreign corporations. The others you listed do the same. Anyone with a lot of $$$ does this. It’s all legal thanks to politicians and lobbyists. Politicians exempt themselves from the laws we are forced to comply with or else. Bruce Springsteen and John Bon Jovi have there properties zoned as farms in New Jersey to reduce there property taxes down next to nothing. Do you think you could do that with your average American house ? The elite that live in my state do the same… you drive through the areas where they all live and it has farm crops growing all over it… I pay more in property tax on my pitiful little 1/3 acre than a DuPont with several hundred acres. None of them care about the average person; from local governments to Washington D.C. . Fiscal cliff my a_ _… its all a dog and pony show scam !!!

  My son is 17 and said he isn’t responsible for any debts made before he is 18. I told him that he had better learn Spanish or else he will be.

  I suggest your son learn Chinese and get a job in Singapore. Or, Portuguese and get one in Brazil.
  
  Chinese is a terrible sounding language to me. Portuguese, on the other hand, is easy on the ears.
  
  But, please tell your son to go where the money is. It isn’t here.

OUT THE REGRESSIVES

The Republican and Democrat Parties are truly dead.
They have been replaced by the Progressive Rino (PR) and Big Socialist (BS) Parties.

If he won it’s only because the Progressives let him. Pray for America.

Lindsey Graham & John McCain need to go in the worst way. They have the spine of a jelly fish.

  It was Graham’s senior, Ernest Hollings, that couldn’t properly name Lindsey and called him “Bufflehead”, rather than say Beavis and Butthead. A Bufflehead is a duck.

  He should be ignored completely and I’m from SC. Sure he’ll give in and vote for anything. No principles at all unless it benefits HIM politically. Typical lifelong politician.
