Obama Calling "Bluff" Of Those Complaining About Debt He Created
RealClearPolitics ^ | June 27, 2010 | RealClearPolitics

Posted on 06/27/2010 4:03:51 PM PDT by i88schwartz

President Obama on controlling the debt: "Somehow people say, why are you doing that, I'm not sure that's good politics. I'm doing it because I said I was going to do it and I think it's the right thing to do. People should learn that lesson about me because next year when I start presenting some very difficult choices to the country, I hope some of these folks who are hollering about deficits and debt step-up because I'm calling their bluff. We'll see how much of that, how much of the political arguments that they're making right now are real and how much of it was just politics."

He's feeling pretty cocky. Even though everything he is doing is bringing the country down, he knows that no matter what he has in his pocket 90% of blacks, 2/3 of hispanics and unmarried women with children. He has the support of both marxist intellectuals as well as the most ignorant and stupid part of the population.

He knows that if he can make millions of more hispanic voters, he can cement a permanent majority.

That permanent majority, as we have seen in places like Detroit, California and Mexico, is impervious to even open, in-your-face corruption and complete failure in governing and the resulting collapse of civil society among those being ruled.

Hey nobama: It’s not a good idea to threaten your constituents. Somebody might take you seriously.

Run up the Credit Cards to the limit and then embezzle the money from your Boss to pay the bill.

Quite a winning philosophy the Kenyan came up with.

Delusional is the only word I can think of right now.

I've noticed a increasing drumbeat for a VAT by the pro Obama folks on the Money and Finance shows. Some analyst on CNBC was saying that regardless of whether Democrats or Republicans control congress after 2010, the next congress would have NO choice but to implement a VAT or risk the US ending up like Greece. I predict Obama’s hand picked deficit reduction panel is going to come out with a VAT as it's centerpiece. Then the democrats strategy will be to try and force a VAT by painting a picture of a stock market crash and US default on debt and accusing Republicans of opposing deficit reduction for not going along. The Republicans better not fall for it, let Obama run in 2012 on a VAT. The last democrat that ran on massive tax increases was Mondale, and that election turned out pretty well.

“He’s going to “Start presenting some difficult choices”?? What’s he been doing so far? Just playing the overture?”

Yup! His promise was one of complete transformational change of America. He’s just laying the groundwork for the real changes to come.

He is not too worried about the polls and what they say, he’s on a mission, he’s focused on the task of completely changing the USA. That’s why floods, earthquakes, oil spills, and the like don’t interest him, he’s looking at making a totally new country, with the properties and values he has espoused all his live. He does know that he does not have much time, though, if it looks like an election will stop him.

I’ll tell you what’s next.

Next year he’s going to start with the huge tax hikes, including the VAT like Europe.

And when people start protesting, he’s going to tell them “but you wanted the budget balanced!”.

He’s a real B******. And you know what I mean.

This was a threat made to American’s, while the piece of garbage was on foreign soil. There is no honor within Obama.

Proof that he's a sinister, calculating SOB, just in case anyone thought he was merely an arrogant, lying, bumbling sociopath.

There is no COLB on hand because he sold it to Satan for the promise of ruling the world. Obama... the manifestation of Beelzebub, Lord of the Flies, chief of the demons.

Nooooo...I’m not raising a young Conservative am I? HAHAHAHAH

Four minutes of incoherent and paranoid gibberish by the Kenyan Fly Trap.
Barry stalls for time by stretching out “ and “ to an entirely new word-aaaaaaaand.
Although his father was a goat herder , Barry sounds like he’s calling sheep.
The flailing and waving hands looks like Barry is doing some warped version of signing for the deaf viewers and his weird and crazy eyes are to show solidarity with his base.
This guy is an absolute mess.
Obviously the teleprompter couldn’t get a visa.

He acts like he is his own world. A makebelieve world.

That's where a lot of academic liberals are and always have been. He reminds me of Woodrow Wilson more than anything and will turn out to be a complete failure. Teaching their social theories and actually applying them successfully are two different things.

Wouldn’t it be a treat to have this on video? Regardless, the RNC should use it for the upcoming elections as well as the 2012. These words are priceless, now if we can use them properly...

He was trying to sound so tough saying, “I do what I said I was gonna do and they’re surprised???” Huh?? Then he cites the healthcare bill and don’t ask don’t tell?? Are you kidding me??? He thinks we are all fools. The healthcare bill was shoved down our throats and don’t ask don’t tell is just plain stupid. What else has he actually accomplished? Nothing worth bragging about. Certainly nothing good for this country. He’s a laughing stock and doesn’t even know it! Unreal!!
