Sadly, you are delusional. His agenda is to be reelected.
For the most part possibly.
See the London Riots that are becoming UK riots. This looks like it will be huge to me.
Listening to Bloomberg online, not a peep about riots but all the brit commentators are dancing on the U.S. grave.
A REAL President would say, "Gentlemen and ladies, Today we set politics aside for the duration. I propose we immediately adopt the Balanced Budget Amendment. We also reform the tax code and strip it down to basics with 3 tax brackets. 15% 20% and 25%. everyone pays and there are no payroll deductions (we all must write a check to the government to pay our taxes.)
When I say Everyone pays taxes I mean everyone. Churches Corporations etc. No more Non Profits or Not for Profits. No More subsidies to Corporations. The only allowable deductions would be businesses who are paying for materials to manufacture or resell. (The reason being taxes will be paid on those items by whomever sold them to the retailer/manufacturer)
Entitlements will be restructured to eliminate waste. First we will eliminate 10% of the employees in all programs immediately. We mandate a 10% across the board cut in each program and it will be done without cutting benefits (eliminating redundancy and waste and corruption) Then we restructure so that people are more in control of their benefits. Social Security will be turned into a self directed trust for each beneficiary. Medicare and Medicaid will be morphed into medical savings accounts.
Next we strip several Cabinet Departments Starting with the EPA, Energy, Education, Etc. we phase these out over 3 years!
We phase all the other items (except for the Balanced Budget Amendment) in over a 5 year period.
People we are going to agree on this now and we are all going to announce it together to the Cameras in 5 minutes. There will be no political games. This bill will pass in record time. (Record time = Before the markets open.)"
"OK, on three, break!"
Nothing left to do then except to watch the markets soar and the deficit and debt die!
Mad Dawgg 2012!
good job
Agreed. Here, on the proper side of the pond, we have black, violent flash mobs taking whatever they want from store owners. I am less concerned about my IRA tanking and more concerned about my personal safety.
Bloomberg and the rest of the MSM is part of the propaganda machine. I stopped listening a long time ago. Bloomberg especially is bad.
The message for the GOP in 2012 must be, “End this now, before it goes any further.” That is, assuming The United States of America remains organized enough to hold an election in 2012.
If not, well, I am a Virginian. And we shall be alright one way or the other in the Old Dominion.
There is nothing Obama or his lapdogs can say to fix things.
What could this jackass possibly say that anyone in the world would believe?
What's he gonna say?..."We were just jokin' around. Now we're gonna get serious...No, seriously, folks."
You can't fix this degree of stupid.
We ARE going over the falls.
It's bad enough the United States is insolvent. Do we have to suffer this non-stop embarrassment by a blathering imbecile pretending to be the leader of this once-great republic?
The world can clearly see this so-called president can't keep from catching his pee pee in his zipper.
Well done.
Next You get China on the phone and explain that they will relax tariffs on American Goods immediately or each and every container on their Cargo Ships coming into American ports will be thoroughly inspected AFTER a mandatory 90 day quarantine period.
Manos de un ladrón y palabras de mientidos es Obama.
I accept!
Really, I wish people like you and the “everyday people” who have this figured out were in charge. What is with Washington? They all lose their minds!
The stock market would make a comeback tommorrow if:
1. Stop regulating small business, coal companies, and electric companies out of business.
2. Give out permits to drill here and drill now.
3.Tell the envirowhacko’s that our economy is more important than their tree huggin agenda.
4.Stop Obamacare in it’s tracks.
5. Tell the Unions to suck off.
We might go through this again tomorrow. Dow futures are down 250 points tonight, oil is plunging, gold is skyrocketing...trading right now at $1750/oz.
This is not good, folks.
Bloomberg is HORRIBLE. I seldom listen to it but I won’t be making that mistake again. They seem to seek out disastrous news and views.
I’m not sure what the proper side of the pond is but here in Texas we still have the Alamo. Hopefully this time things will turn out a little better.
