OBAMA SCUTTLES 'FISCAL CLIFF' DEAL?
Breitbart TV ^ | December 31, 2012 | Mike Flynn

Posted on 12/31/2012 12:08:16 PM PST by cruise_missile

This afternoon, in one of the more bizarre appearances of his presidency, Barack Obama gave a televised address to a room full of supporters on the "fiscal cliff." He broke no news, but mocked Congress, and hinted at future tax hikes. Observers worried that he may have deliberately scuttled a potential agreement.

Even though he has come off his last campaign for political office, President Obama acted like a candidate on the campaign trail--one prepared to use whatever political capital he had accumulated to take shots at the opposition in Congress at the very moment leaders from both sides are trying to work together.

“He hinted at future tax hikes.” No....you mean there is a future and he can make changes? I thought this was a one-time decision that was locked in stone. Gosh, the opponent can do things that you didn’t anticipate. Some people think tactically, some people think strategically.

“Understand yourself and understand your opponents, and in one hundred battles, you will not be defeated.”

There’s no such thing as a consolation prize in this bogus deal....but I’ll take the pony where I can find it. I’ve seen in print that it’s being called the Biden-McConnell deal, sidelining Harry Reid for the moment. If new media has anything to say...play up the fact that REID utterly failed.

DJI up 120- the fix is in.

Yes, this is what I see happening..

* Obama gets his red meat, aka his tax the rich.
* No new spending cuts.
* More borrowing from the Chinese, Berrnake-Twisting-Porkulus 5 or whatever his late trick is and...
* As Mark Levin said, the fix is in, the higher rates hit small businessmen and we will get a Corp Tax Rate cut in the near term that will still suck compared to Canada or the Czech Republic, but coming down to 25% will be Boob-Bait-for-Bubbas, and the Cronie Capitalist win and small business takes it in the shorts........

What a pile of suckage...

Typical Obama performance. Smug, obnoxious, arrogant, miserable, self righteous, disingenuous, condescending POS. “I’m gonna be President for the next four years... yada yada”. Not if there is a God he won’t.

Actions speak louder than words, Giving a Federal employee pay raise and now making fun of those locked in deadly serious negotiations prove that Obama wants economic failure for the US.

The House can’t filibuster ... and if this ass-backwards “deal” ever gets there, Boehner will likely allow an open vote to get it done.

If the media is the problem, then we need to get rid of the media. What the newspaper in NY did with gun owners names, we should do to every journalista.

Annoy them, then get the video, call them names and put it on YouTube. Make their lives so miserable that they will beg for us to stop.

This smarmy ghetto punk will always treat negotiations as an opportunity to put more of our $$$ in his pocket, and will flat never agree to allow us to keep more of what's our's.

Taking what doesn't belong to him is who he is.
