Posted on February 15, 2011 at 11:23amThe President’s budget plan is very very clear. He plans to “suck” up ALL of the monies the American people can possibly afford to operate “government” (loca/city, state, and federal governments) so the only government left operating will be out of DC. Local and state governments will have no choice but to borrow from and bend to the feds until they exist in name only.
Remember this president believes in a central governing system, preferrably global. And if he can’t get there through the EPA/Climate change regs, he will get there through the budget/IMF process.
Rather than “cut” the entitlement programs, we MUST disperse everything the feds have taken that belongs to state, local and individuals and return it to the states, local and individuals, obligation and all. Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, and the Education department must be taken away from the feds and split among the 50 states according to citizen make up, debt and all.
I have far more confidence in the states bringing our debt load down while improving care and security than I do in the feds, don’t you?

Posted on February 15, 2011 at 11:23amHere’s your chance, press, to ask Obama the questions that David Gregory thought Speaker Boehner should answer…
Ask Obama why he took Shahada…
Ask Obama why he has never released his birth certificate from Hawaii to the U.S. Congress…

Posted on February 15, 2011 at 11:22amwatch potus squirm…. this is amusing… double talk, stuttering, the famous words let me be clear. He sounds like a deer looking into headlights, uncomfortable, I have never heard so much stuttering from a Prez. He has absolutely no idea what he is talking about. This is an embarrassment to the US. A so called commander in chief who looks like an idiot. He looks like he is getting a little upset with the last question… he is shaken… this is great ….

Posted on February 15, 2011 at 11:13amJust as always they are playing to the cameras. They are already trying to get re-elected in 2012. He keeps saying that he wants bi-partisan cooperation. But yet he never seems to accomplish the feat. This show a clear lack of leadership on his part. Just because he says it, doesn‘t mean that he’s going to get it. He is going to have to step across the isle and make the deals needed. But he’s never going to do that.

Posted on February 15, 2011 at 11:54amFirst conservatives complain that he can’t speak without a teleprompter. Then, when he speaks to reporters off the cuff, you still won’t even consider listening what he has to say. He could set forth a plan identical to Ronald Reagan’s and you would still find a way to disagree with it and call him the anti-christ.
