Obama Transcript ("Spending cuts have already taken place")

Washington Post ^ | 31 Dec, 2012 | Satan

[11th_VA]

He's saying the Deficit Reduction has already taken place. And any new Deficit cuts will require higher taxes.

Is the frickin' GOP crazy ??? They are negotiating on these terms?

[A.A. Cunningham]

Where’s the link?

[EagleUSA]

It is impossible to negotiate with a psychopathic lying narcissistic ideologue that hates freedom and capitalism.

If hge cut a trillion dollars off last year why did he spend more than he did the year before?

This guy believe everyone else in the world is either an idiot or a Democrat, which is the same thing.

[Dick Vomer]

so much bullsh#t... the government thugocracy is complete. they lie without consequences, they kill without consequences, they destroy institutions without consequences and they are trying how to tell me how to run MY life.

Unfortunately there is no place on this planet that you can move to without paying "the man". There is no place in this country that you own property without permission from the king and congress. We live at their mercy, travel at their mercy, eat with their permission, and our children are only allowed to stay with us at their whim.

There is not one minute of anybody's time that is not run, supervised or limited by a bureaucrat. We are living the Orwellian nightmare.

[Jerrybob]

He says it. It is so!!! Isn’t he WONDERFUL!!!!!

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Magic Spending Cuts from the Magic Negro.

The only thing 0bama cuts is the cheese (and I’m not talking government cheese).

[jersey117]

Everyone fears the King. But none fear him more than Harry Reid.

[muawiyah]

Seriously, he has demonstrated he has only the slightest grasp of basic arithmetic ~ ability to differentiate the big numbers from the smaller numbers.

He's stupid.

[SERKIT]

The podium may shield us from seeing Barry's pants actually on fire, but we may see some flames reflected in the TOTUS.
THERE....WERE....NO...."CUTS"....TOTALLING.....$1T....!!!!

Tell me lies, tell me lies, tell me sweet little lies...

Thanks 11th_VA. The Obama Tax Hike / Partisan Media Shills:

• Journalist David Gregory refuses to call out Obama's lie that he cut spending by over a trillion
• Gregory under investigation, out of headlines (Are the magazines legal -- or not?)
• Why Inflation Is The Economy's Hidden Iceberg In 2013
• No Inflation? Housing, Food, Energy, Gold and Silver Skyrocket in Last 6 Months

I saw the rally (it was not a dignified speech) and I was somewhat puzzled when I heard him say that. I understand *why* he said it, though. He doesn’t want to cut spending. He wants to raise taxes, not “just a little bit.” And he’s not going to “ask” for the higher taxes, he’s going to take it by force. Duh.

He should be jailed just for what he does to the art of language and the science of Math.

His little TAUNTING speech this afternoon was an attempt at blowing the whole thing up. Sounds like it worked.

I think you're right. Secretly, the RATS want the middle class taxes, and they found a VERY clever way to get it without looking like they really want the money.

[Squat]

Why didn't the Repucks get on TV immediately and say “hey bud there more than one sheriff in town” with supports yelling in the back rounds chanting “It's all about cutting Oshitheads spending”

[SuziQ]

Deficit Reduction is not the same as spending cuts. Deficit reduction can be manipulated by making it LOOK as though there are cuts, when there are only cuts in planned increases. No actual cuts occur, they’re just on paper. Those are the kinds of cuts that Dems love to tout, when THEY do them, but crucify Repubs. for, when THEY do it.

[Girlene]

Why haven’t the Repub’s already been on TV and asked what WHERE those spending cuts? Two can play the game of negotiating or upping the ante on TV.
