Barack Hussein Obama: You lie.

Last month you were stumping for a second “stimulus” to push the deficit spending even higher.

Wednesday, December 16, 2009 - As Obama Pushes For Second Stimulus, Federal Audit Agency Says States Have Only Spent One-Quarter of Funds Set Aside for Them in First Stimulus

Your actions are in direct conflict with your words. You deserve to be removed from office.

Obama is such an ass. He spends like a kid in a candy store then when it is too late does this.This will not help.

I want the millions wasted for officials to go to Copenhagen for the olympics and for the fake global warming push.I want all the money ACORN gets to go to the SBA.I want Obama impeached.

Its a false flag. Smoke and mirrors there is no savings because its too late the Stimulus Billions already upped their spending over the next 3 years so its another LIBERAL LIE...

Republicans should counter with WHERE IS THE SAVINGS? and show the public the truth.

“You mean like the million that Pelosi and a hundred or so hangers on spent for two unproductive days of face time in Copenhagen for the Climategate summit. The money that even CBS news found to be to egregious to cover up?”

That’s not what “discretionary spending” is. “Discretionary spending” is mostly made up of items that are at least arguably the Constitutional duty of the federal government (national defense, for instance). “Non-discretionary spending” means “entitlements”, “welfare”, and every other illegal thing the government does.

Only in government la-la-land can NOT spending more in the future than you’re currently spending now be considered “saving.”

What we need are cuts! A freeze on more spending should be a given.

To coin a phrase from Wil Ferrell’s character, Mugatu, in Zoolander, “I feel like I’m taking crazy pills!”

Cutting any spending is well appreciated with me, but isn’t this the same assclown who promises no tax increases yet his policy agenda (healthcare) would do just that?

Second, is this truly a 5% cut per year or a cut in the rate of increased spending? The latter being a big stinking pile of BS.
