President Barack Obama is cutting short his Hawaiian holiday to leave for Washington on Wednesday to address the unfinished "fiscal cliff" negotiations with Congress.

If he is going to come back early, why go at all.

Well it doesn’t cost him anything.We are paying for it.

Did he leave the Moose and the kids in Hawaii?

“The cliff we have already fallen over is $ 16 trillion in debt”.

Correct! What isn’t so obvious is the 87 to 222 Trillion in unfunded promises made by the federal government to the American people that are impossible to fund.

The exact number of trillions of the promises is based somewhat on who you talk too or who is doing the calculation, nevertheless, it is the hidden cliff and isn’t going away any time soon.

Oh I almost forgot, we are all part of the problem, so we better all be ready for the pain, and the states, all fifty of them are in on it too.

Oh say can you see, AK, WY, and ND bailing out the other 48?

Until 4yrs ago, I never used coupons. I'm sure Her Lardass (has its own zipcode) will send out the White Hut/Crib Food Shopping Detail with plenty of coupons for the month's feasts/banquets. Skank b•tch.

The media (and the public, they hope) are being played. This is James Brown/Famous Flames theatre with a weary Obama doing just one more number. Meanwhile it gives Michelle the perfect cover for - yet again - flying separately and nearly doubling the cost of the trip.

The Kenyan pos is blowing a few hundred thousand dollars (taxpayers money) flying all the way back and forth to DC to have a few photo-ops and to say FU to the Republicans behind closed doors. All he cares about is brainwashing the sheeple. Repeating the same lies

[palmer]

He is a lousy liar but an amazing number of people believe him.

[Artcore]

You know, a point in time is coming where the new Tea Party members should bear some of the responsibility of what’s going on in the House! What I mean is, they have an obligation to rise up against the Speaker and the other “Leadership” guys like Cantor and McCarthy.

They need to make a bigger stand against the Establishment types.

[MrB]

Indeed, my first thought - planned from the beginning.

No way ‘bammers & ‘chell are going to “cut short” their vacation for “work”.

[Syncro]

...many of the Tea Party Republicans in the House oppose the extension of the 2% cut in the Social Security Payroll Tax.

Then their pretending to be Tea Party Movement Republicans is all pau. (Hawaiian for finishd/destroyed)

If only Michelle was going home to. No - she, once again, is going to have a vacation on a different time frame from the President - but excused for the tremendous expense we are paying as for some portion of the time Zero was there. It’s time for Congress to put a limit on the bottomless bank account Michelle relies on for her vacations.

[hal ogen]

nobama’s loser-life has been one big vacation. This clown nobama is one of the most unproductive and destructive individuals ever. What a loser and a putz. Someone...anyone...put this community organizer in a prison.

[freekitty]

So true.

[Bon mots]

This fool cannot fix anything.
He might as well stay on vacation in Hawaii with the wookie where he will do less damage.
