I do truly believe Obama is insane.
Go ahead, Repubs.
Do it and you’ll own CW-II.
Don't move or....
MOBUTU
Please please please if the GOP does anything, stick to the simple answer of NO! NON-Negotiable, and I believe unconstitutional because Congress cannot assign it’s responsibility away nor encumber another Congress with such a move as abdicating it’s power to control the debt.
Congress implicity approves of debt ceiling increases when it passes budgets that exceed revenue. There is absolutely no reason to give this to Obama. If they allow this, Obama’s next move is to enact tax increased and develop revenue via presidential executive orders.
It’s stunning arrogance to think that Obama wants Congress to cede Congressional Constitutional power to the executive branch ....
I really think he knows that will never happen but asks for the impossible to get what he wants seem to be trivial ...
His aim is the take the power of the purse away from the House of Representatives. This leads directly to tyranny. Better to have all the taxes go up on January 1st.
Hussein wants the same dictator power as Pharoah Morsi in Egypt has. It does not matter what the law is.
Congress does not have to do anything. Obama ignores the law anyway. If he says the debt goes to 20 Trillion now and he is giving himself a 4 trillion raise, so be it. Who is going to stop it? The Senate? The Supreme Court? Nobody will stop him from outspending the debt ceiling. It is meaningless.
Obama currently outspends government revenue by $2 Trillion per year anyway. So he needs a 25 Trillion ceiling just to finish out his Second Term, at the current spending rate.
Go ahead veto your tax proposal Mr Kenyatta. It is the spending problem you have that you need to worry about. Not having the revenue does not seem to be your issue. Fiscal cliff indeed.
No, he’s not insane, he’s quite sane. He’s playing the ultimate game, he’s seeing exactly how far he can go, and what he can get away with; and dragging the Repubs and Dems along with him (or seeing exactly WHO he can drag and how far). I really pray that the Repubs are not STUPID enough to fall for this, and I’m a little scared that a few are that STUPID.
He is acting like an entitled dictator.
Will congress try to slow his grasp for power?
Obama Regime Labor Union, (ORLU), makes demands to get more spending money, or will go on the Obama Spending Cliff strike.
This is where we will find out if the Re[publican Party is owned by the same people who own the Democrat Party. f so those people belong to the Communist Party. It is as simple and as sad as that.
fine. veto it. the american public will eventually turn on obamugabe.
In case you've forgotten, that's the mentality that says, "I'll destroy myself in order to destroy you."
Obozo is really beginning to press his luck and he has NOT yet been sworn in for a 2nd term.
You see?
And some Rs want to make it easy for him to blame Republicans for hiking taxes on the middle class. Some actually want to hold those middle class <=$250K tax cuts hostage for some unknown principle in a battle that cant be won, and be exactly what O has accused them of for 4 years.
Call Os bluff. (The House) Extend the tax cuts for <$250K and declare victory, middle class saved and the crisis over. Tell O to go to hell on the rest.
Come on folks, this is so obvious.
Yes I know Rush is really upset that he will have to pay higher taxes, Hannity is too. But lets not HELP Obama destroy all effective opposition to him over that.
obamma and the RATs create this fiscal cliff because of their asinine policies these past 4 years. Now they are demanding it be fixed! The RATS caused this situation!
Boehner had damn well better tell Obama to SHOVE IT!!
If they give it to him, then they should just shut down Congress and go home.
