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."

Any common sense person could cut 12.5 pct of the size of govt each year for the next 4 and reduce the size of govt 50 pct in that time. It would be easy to find half of it in waste that would make the other 6.5 easy.
Orphan Annie. Tomorrow, tomorrow. Next year. Always a big deficit fighter next year.
Will he be able to do it without the Senate and House?
He must think this sounds manly, lol.
This guy is not smart AT ALL. He is freaking stupid. Like I said anyone with half a brain knows that you cannot spend your way out of debt. Well I guess this is what we get for putting a flunky in the Oval Office.
A President of the United States “calling bluff”.
I’m speechless.
Obama is increasingly irrational. He is not only NOT a leader. He is not even aware of his shortcomings. The dangerous part of this man is his absolute commitment to his ideology.
Independent voters in America have given us the first Marxist president (coz they got him elected).
LOL.
What this ass-HAT means is he is going to propose RAISING TAXES...not cutting real spending.
What you said. Man. This dude is something else.
Yo Obama, bring it on Buckwheat, bring it friggen on. Throw everything you got at us and then.... then you best pray.
Have we ever had such an aggressively adolescent, adversarial and petulant ManChild as President?
What POTUS goes on global televison and starts talking trash about “I’m gonna call your bluff?”
Does he not realize that to the world he is coming off as the STEREOTYPICAL UGLY AMERICAN?
Spoken like a community organizer!!!!!!!!!!!
Choices? He isn’t going to give us any choices, just as he never gave us choices in the last 16 months.
{glug!} Good thing I missed the big speech...I'd be you-know-how-many sheets to the wind.....
Rationing begins.
Case in point:
Obama in Rude Denial; It's All a GOP Plot:
"Most of these people [in the Administration] have never had a real job in their lives. They don't understand a thing about business, and that includes the President," says a senior lobbyist for one of the companies that announced the charge. "My CEO sat with the President over lunch with two other CEOs, and each of them tried to explain to the President what this bill would do to our companies and the economy in general. First the President didn't understand what they were talking about. Then he basically told my boss he was lying. Frankly my boss was embarrassed for him; he clearly had not been briefed and didn't know what was in the bill."
