Breaking: Obama to make a statement at 5:45 PM EST following fiscal cliff meeting-Live Thread[12-28]

The highly-anticipated meeting came and went without any immediate clue from congressional lawmakers as to whether they had made any progress toward resolving the impending onset of automatic tax hikes and spending cuts set to take effect on Jan. 1.

But the president is scheduled to deliver a statement from the White House at 5:45 p.m. ET.

A protracted stalemate between Obama-led Democrats and congressional Republicans had prompted Friday's last-ditch meeting.

I heard the Kenyan retard whining that the GOP wants to do everything at the last minute. Why doesn’t somebody, ANYBODY, say, “Okay Barry. Show us ONE budget that you and your boy, Dingy Harry, have ever sent to Congress”.

Now just what kind of impact do you think this lie will have on the republicans? They don’t have a snowballs chance in hell of getting anything out of this mess. They get bashed 24/7 we don’t need it on this conservative website.

And right there is YOUR problem. Republicans are NOT Conservatives. Get it through your head and you can see the game in a different light entirely.

I don’t have a PROBLEM. The republicans are a hell of a lot more conservative than the liberals that are running this country. You want another party? Well I wouldn’t mind it either but it will take decades before a viable, credible conservative party could win, it will be an uphill battle into the wind. We will be fighting media, new immigrants, the takers, and social issues. There isn’t any time left so we better get behind what we have.

The solution is simple: How about we take back OUR party ? We the Conservatives outnumber the RINO quislings by a healthy margin. Let’s throw our weight around for a change.

That is what has to be done. When they call this house for money I tell them precisely why they won’t get any. But for right now, this country is dangling by a thread, time is running out and the only weapon we have between us and tyranny are the house republicans.

OBAMA: “I’ve tried to work with the Republicans but they are too determined to raise taxes on the middle class and give their rich buddies big tax cuts...”

Wow that intelligent way of speaking is impressive

He is SO divisive it is sickening!
you can see sheeple at home going “Ya Ya! That’s right! Stick it to em Barry”

Obama’s poor buddies:

Jeffrey Immelt GE and jobs czar
-net worth is $60 million dollars

Bill Gates ‘s Net Worth is about
$56 Billion

Zuckerberg’s (Facebook) whose net worth was Forbes estimated at $17.5 billion
and annual salary of $22 million.

Billionaire Warren Buffett $46 B

Michael Bloomberg NYC mayor $25 billion

Nancy Pelosi is among the richest members of Congress,[111] with an estimated net worth of approximately $58 million the 12th highest estimated net worth in Congress
Pelosi’s Gvt paycheck? $194,000 (with O’s new pay rate)

JayZ and beyonce (first fistbumpers BFFs)a reported combined net worth of more than $700 million

i could provide links but i already spent too much time writing this already

Given the choice between a conservative and a Communist, too many RINOs will pick the communist. That is the problem.

This President and his party are willing to take this nation further down and blame the Republican “Majority Party”. You and I know the republicans are not the majority party in DC but most Americans think they are. Ignorance. It’s sad to say but true. This is a fight for control of the House. The Democrats will likely win it and why? John Boehner.

The truth is it’s the Republican controlled House that’s the BIG elephant in the room. OBAMA IS RIGHT! They really are the problem. Just not for the reasons Obama claims in all his lies. Shame on Boehner for all he has allowed this President to do since the GOP gained control in 2010. The truth is, the Republicans no longer deserve to keep the House. If I feel this way as much as I dislike Nancy Pelosi I know millions of other feel this way.

At this point I see a super majority happening in 2014.

I think this is exactly what Boehner wants. Less work for him if the GOP is the minority party.

We all know Obama HATES America and the Constitution. Knowing that, can you blame him for taking advantage of the do nothing Republicans?

OBAMA: “I’ve tried to work with the Republicans but they are too determined to raise taxes on the middle class and give their rich buddies big tax cuts...”

We need a new Speaker. Someone who knows how to make Obama and his theory look stupid. It's not enough to say "Raising taxes is bad". It has to be explained to the American people WHY it is a bad idea and make Obama look like an idiot.

Well, the last I heard Boehner agreed that the rich need to pay more.

We've lost the argument because we do not have anybody articulate to be speaking to the American people. Problem is, too many people are in Congress claiming they are against raising taxes solely to keep a campaign promise but deep down inside they really have no idea how the whole theory works. To them it's just a shallow campaign promise. Nothing more.

Next week the unemployment checks stop. Boehner will get blamed for this and everything else. Blaming the republicans for the fiscal cliff has been a goal of the democratic party. They are clearing the way to take over the House in 2014. It appears they will take it.

According to the news, the democrats won big in November yet EVERY news event since has somehow been the blame of the republicans from Hurricane Sandy to the School Mass Murders and the recent northeast snowstorms.

The republicans do not deserve to keep the House in 2014. If I feel this way as much as I dislike Nancy Pelosi then millions of others do too.

At this point I see the democrats with a super majority come November 2014. Hey, I give them this - they worked hard for it.

Boehner should have been replaced long ago. Obama's no longer the problem. It's the people who allow Obama to keep acting with these tactics that's the problem.

The GOP has failed America as much as the democrats have destroyed it.
