WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama says he cannot "govern out of anger" just because of public outrage over bonuses paid at financial institutions kept afloat by taxpayer dollars.

Obama's declaration came as he pushed for a $3.6 trillion federal budget proposal that already is opposed from within his own party. As he seeks lawmakers' support for his first budget, he took a political risk in signaling discomfort with a separate plan that slaps a punitive, 90 percent tax on bonuses paid to American International Group employees.

"Let's see if there are ways of doing this that are both legal, that are constitutional, that uphold our basic principles of fairness, but don't hamper us from getting the banking system back on track," Obama said on CBS' "60 Minutes."

Obama: Anger isn't governing strategy

Correct. He's actually governed by his vitriolic hatred of capitalism.

I met a fellow from Ethiopia a few days ago. The first thing he said about zer0 was that he was an angry man who is living in the past and wants to harm America.

Tell it to ACORN and those other happy “community organizers you inspire

Your whole life is built on anger and using it to manipulate others. Some of us have noticed the only happy people around you (at least since November) are your bolshevik inner circle Emmanuel, Axelrod and Craig cranking out those executive orders as fast as you can sign them with your unfocused eyes

Tell it to ACORN

Increasing debt & overconsumption is not a governing strategy either.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

He can govern based on that chip on his shoulder though.

Get a clue Obama. Except for your mind dead sycophants people arn’t angry at AIG. Don’t blame others for your incompetence.

I hope the Republic survives 4 years of this. Will his party ever wake up or are they all like him?

If Il Douche can’t govern out of anger, someone explain his treatment of Gordon Brown.

The solution to increasing debt is of course to increase the taxes to pay the debt. And it fits into the final solution, TUP, “trickle up poverty”, (with acknoledgement to “Michael Savage” who coined the phrase).

Take those bonuses and the unconstitutional legislation proposed by lawyers to tax 90% of those bonuses (which of course destroys contract law) then will be signed by law professor President BHO expecting that the Supreme Court will declare it unconstitutional.

Where upon President and Professor of Law, Obama, will claim a crisis and that messforages of TUP will be driven by camp followers in MSM (ministry of stimulated miss-information) into mushhead followers who will then demand to change SCOTUS (supreme court of the United States) once it does. http://www.theusmat.com/
