It is very difficult to deal with someone that committed to lying. He is no incumbered with having to deal with the truth or reality. He has his minions in the media covering from him.

A real media would rip him apart when he utters this nonsense.

If George Bush had said anything like this, the news media would have ripped him a new Obama.

What a damn liar, getting it from his uncle beelzebub...

Yup. The Tea Party recognizes it. The RINO's don't. Like a rabid dog, the only thing Obama understands is a 2x4 to the head.

you know those tax cuts that just benefitted the RICcccch!

I'm not making this up. On Fox News Boston this morning, the fiscal cliff situation was described as follows, "Democrats want to cut taxes for everybody, except the top 2%, while Republicans want to raise taxes on everyone."

Direct quote. Word for word.

I wanted to do an Elvis on the telly.

Actually, this tactic — calling spending increases lower than some projection conjured out of dubious assumptions by one or more Federal agencies a “cut” — suggests to me a compromise for the “fiscal cliff”:

Give Obama everything he wants on the fiscal cliff issues except unilateral power to raise the debt ceiling in exchange for 1. abolishing the AMT (not adjusting the parameters, just outright abolishing it) and 2. abolishing all statutory authority and budgeting for agencies to do the calculations needed for baseline budgeting. Henceforth a spending cut must mean spending less than you used to, and any spending in amounts greater than the prior year for any purpose is a spending increase.

Only his desciples believe him, but as evidenced on November 6, 2012, that was enough. he voters had a choice to make between slavery to the Government and the ability to make individual choices[freedom]. They chose slavery. They sowed to the wind and will reap the whirlwind.

"Save"= I didn't spend. For instance, new progessive Commies, As in:

"I didn't have fifteen trillion to spend THEREFORE I SAVED fifteen trillion and saved the new CPUSA. I mean all fifty-seven Islamic states, I mean the spotted owl; well that too.( Psssst how many states are in this constitution?...*badda bing*)"

Never even took economics in college except all the math classes, but alas this kinda poop was mocked but going on in the more "philosophical" classes and clubs at Peoples Republic of Berkeley when I was there in the late 70's early 80's. Buncha anti-social justice nincompoops

Obama is not the problem.

The gullible, uneducated, foolish voter is the problem.
