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.

The media is the problem because no matter how many times we hear from people “I dont trust anything the media says” they DO!! What we need to do is get as many Conservatives into the media as possible that is the only way to really change things..as long as the media is owned and operated by the left wingers, you will continue to have zombies going along with whatever the media says

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

The Democrat Party has made a good living doing that for years. The trick is to convince 51% of the parasites that they are doing that for them.

Well that’s a conspiracy theory stretch.

OIdiot will get what he wants. RINOs will cave and “conservatives” everywhere will STILL line up and vote for who the GOP elite tell them to vote for over and over and over and over ....

Obama and the rats officially own this economy now. From here on out, they will be known as the party of high taxes, reckless spending and no accountability. They will be known as the party who refused to save social security. They will be known as the official welfare food stamp party. It will be their policies which will kill the economy.

If God does take sides, it probably isn’t with a baby killing, pop culture sewage and cult of personality worshipping nation like the United States.

Seems some folks still believe Obama wants a deal??

Obama hates America and gets more of what he wants without any deal.

Save your popcorn for the Debt Ceiling Deal, guys. It’s shaping up to be a spectacular fireworks display.

Obama shot himself in the foot when he popped off about raising taxes later. He made if obvious that the tax issue will not be settled. Now, there is no need for Republicans to sign off on a Cliff deal. Like, why pay for the same real estate twice?

Sadly, WE take our queue from the dominant news media, too. Even conservative radio hosts allow the MSM to set the context for most of what they discuss.

The MSM cannot be reformed. It must be destroyed in its current form.

Those who've been their victims - conservatives and republicans - need to start attacking the credibility of the MSM and its members at every opportunity. Forget about being good sports about it. Take them apart. Mock them loudly.

Embarrass & humiliate them until a disinterested public gets the point.

Let's take step back and look at the time line for this latest installment of kabuki theater - I mean our Federal Government in action.

The last time I looked it takes around 45 days to pass an Secret Service security check to get close (within arms reach) to the President. If that lead time hasn’t changed then the vetting of that crowd of “typical medial Americans” started in mid-November, roughly a week after the elections. This means the last 7 weeks has been nothing but kabuki theater to distract us from something.

Anyone have ideas on what the Emperor and his Court want to hide?

The republicans caved years ago when they allowed this battle to be deferred.

Bush II, the last moderate democrat, gave us new beauracracies, more entitlements and deficit spending. The Repubs in Congress at the time sold the base out with these legislations and Bush II signed them into law. The repub base got disgusted and did not show up in 2006. Well duh? BTW, one name always left out is Denny Hastert.

The Tea Parties pushed the Repubs to the right again, but the GOPe is pushing back.

Based on recent history, everytime zero gives one of his more "bizarre appearances", he already has an ace up his sleeve. He's just not ready to play it.

But, an EO is probably in the works. zero doen't handle failure well . . . . . . . . . . . especially his own!

If you look closely at his face, there is no expression; no emotion, no passion, just a blank stare. The man is absolutely dead inside and soulless.

Anymore, he looks more like a zombie going through the motions.

“gee GOP thanks for sticking up for your beliefs :( “

- - - - - - - - -

Correction: The GOP has no beliefs, principles, or convictions. The GOP must be cleansed of the vermin who now lead it.
