Is the Force with him?

[GrouchoTex]

Mr. Obama, he said, was “declaring war on investors, entrepreneurs, small businesses, large corporations, and private-equity and venture-capital funds.”

Why?

The question has to be asked:

Are you a) stupid, or: b) cruel?

[GrouchoTex]

“Mr. Obama identified the insurance industry, banks and student lenders, and oil and gas companies as part of the cabal opposing the new budget.”

Cabal?

Wow! These industries provide jobs for more people than the Federal Government could ever dream of providing (even though they would LOVE to try). To call it a CABAL shows me everything that I need to know about this President.

[Straight Vermonter]

While I disagree with just about everything he does, Obama shows himself to be a truly gifted politician. He stands out in high contrast to the incompetent oaf of a politician that Bush was.

[John123]

I’m am so sick of this... The Zero somehow thinks, “This time is different...” The reality is socialism and communism doesn’t work... never has and never will.

[popdonnelly]

He’s wrong. It’s that simple. Big government always fails, socialism always fails, and left-leaning people like Obama are incapable of learning that.

[WaterBoard]

[popdonnelly]

His budget’s a joke, a bad one, and it’s on us.

[Texas Eagle]

"I realize that passing this budget won't be easy. Because it represents real and dramatic change...

Care to offer any specifics Present Potato Head?

I didn't think so. The man is full of greenhouse gas.

[Weird Tolkienish Figure]

I hate to goatse you guys but this really warrants it... hehe.

U.S. senators had a median net worth of approximately $1.7 million in 2007, the most recent year for which their financial data is available, and 62 percent of the Senate's members could be considered millionaires. In the House of Representatives, the median net worth was about $684,000, with 39 percent of members having net worths estimated to be at least $1 million. By contrast, only about 1 percent of all American adults can be considered millionaires. Growth between 2006 and 2007 was still a healthy 13 percent, despite indications last year that the economy was headed south.

Who are the fat cats?

One of the big gainers in 2007 was Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Barack Obama, who leaped from being the 70th richest senator in 2006 to the 31st in 2007. Obama's average net worth jumped from an estimated $800,000 in '06 to $4.7 million last year, fueled largely by royalties from his two best-selling books.

More propaganda. We are THE PEOPLE and we are and will continue to resist.

Every income in America totals about 8.2 trillion dollars. He has spent 1.5 Trillion of it in one week. That’s about 18% of all income. But, close to a half don’t pay tax.

This is a huge burden on taxpayers

[lonestar]

Mr. Obama's language was combative and confrontational, as he promised to fight for "American families."

Does he know American families are marching in the streets in protest of his polocies?!!!

[LADY J]

"Mr. Obama's language was combative and confrontational,"

Every time he speaks, it's in that tone of voice. He is beginning to sound threatening & he is now giving orders.

Each day, he is displaying more of his "I WON' attitude. At times, even implying that he will put the full force of his office behind his demands.

What will he do if the majority does not agree with him & won't listen???

[GenXFreedomFighter]

"I know these steps won't sit well with the special interests and lobbyists who are invested in the old way of doing business, and I know they're gearing up for a fight as we speak. My message to them is this: So am I," he said.

He doesn't have to fight. He only has to make a show of chewing out an imaginary foe and then make a speech and sign the bill once the Commiecrats finish larding it up. Some of the posters here have it right ... this is posturing to diminish the Republicans. Hopefully in a couple of years he'll have some meaningful opposition and will have to start fighting. If we have a country left.

I signed up for Obama emails during the campaign. I checked that (mostly unused) account today, this is the latest:

Blueprint for our future

Yesterday, President Obama submitted his first budget to Congress.

As the President said, the budget isn't just numbers on a page. It establishes our plans and priorities as we confront some of the longest-standing challenges this country has ever faced.

Watch a short video of President Obama introducing his budget and share it with your friends:

http://my.barackobama.com/thebudget

With this budget, President Obama is asking Washington to do something it rarely does -- look beyond the next election and take the long-term steps to ensure America's future strength and prosperity.

It will involve sacrifices and difficult decisions. But it will also boldly invest in the three areas most critical to our economic future: energy, health care, and education.

Investing in a clean energy future will put America at the forefront of industry in the 21st century and create the jobs that will form a new foundation for the middle class.

Confronting the mounting cost of health care will put America back on a solid foundation so businesses can thrive and families can prosper.

Reforming and strengthening our education system will ensure American innovation and competitiveness well into the next century.

Watch the brief video now:

http://my.barackobama.com/thebudget

This budget isn't just a reflection of President Obama's priorities. It's a reflection of yours.

This is the change you worked for and Americans demanded. But to make sure it succeeds, the President will need your help.

In the coming weeks, we'll be asking you to talk directly to people in your community, to build momentum and demonstrate the broad support President Obama has for this new direction.

Thank you for your continued commitment,

David

casting himself as a populist crusader

...'cause nothing says populist like stacking you Cabinet with Washington insiders who think paying taxes is for the little people...

Mr. Obama, he said, was "declaring war on investors, entrepreneurs, small businesses, large corporations, and private-equity and venture-capital funds."

As we knew all along...the marxist ideolog is declaring war on the free market.

What an arrogant pos! He's not fighting for "Americans." He's fighting for HIS special interests, HIS ear marks and those of his like minded criminals.

He is a VERY vindictive man. God help those who really cross him. Once he gets his "personal security force," he's going to use them to retaliate.
