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."

Repeal KenyanCare that’s 2 trillion..good start
He will propose raising taxes as a way to reduce the debt.
Get ready!
Impeachment cannot come soon enough.
Regrettably. It will work. He just added 1 trillion to the debt every year. Permanent spending. It almost all went to banks and labor unions.
R’s will be arguing about cutting it 5% and declare victory.
Here's a lesson on how to really call someone's bluff.
First, the person -- in this case, that would be you, sir -- has to be bluffing. (Unfortunately for you, we, the American people are NOT bluffing; we really, really, really hate your out-of-control spending and we are committed to doing all we can to be heard until we get this fixed.)
Second, the person calling the bluff never telegraphs that ahead of time, as you so amateurly, petulantly and adolescently just did on a world stage. Rather, the person matter-of-factly set out the facts that show you are a prevaricator and mendacious weasel.
Then they juxtapose facts -- you said, for example, you would send troops, money and advisors to Arizona,then you did nothing of the sort -- until the conclusion -- that you, yes, you, sir, are bluffing and a prevaricator and mendacious weasel of huge proportions -- is indisputable.
Watch how Governe Brewer does it without saying a word about the tactic:
Obama- YOUR bluff is called-! Now show US the bloody birth certificate.
In other words, “Honky aint got nuthin on me”. Right?
By using the term “bluff”, it’s obvious that Zero views the american citizenry as an opponent to be reckoned with instead of those he was elected to serve.
Get ready!
And then he will blame Republicans for not going along with tax increases!
I hope -- and think -- the days when that gambit worked easily are SO over.
He will justify the canceling of all the earlier in the decade tax cuts by saying we need to pay for his out of control spending.
He lies when he says he is making difficult choices. His plans along are to make the average non government employee Joe poorer.
That's the thought that ran through my mind before I ever finished the excerpt.
This man is a complete ass.
LMAO !
Obama “debt reduction”: code words for HIGHER TAXES.
The Muslim Marxist ain’t gonna cut shit.
How much more taxed can we get? What is left for our hard work?! I feel that hard-working Americans have no choice but to stay in limbo for the duration of “Presents” term.
There must be more resistence to this nightmare. When will the Sleeping Giant become awake?!
Not so fast, because this jackass is about to suggest we should gut our military, because it is no longer needed.
Never-mind the trillions in wasteful, nonsensical, imprudent spending. First things first! Do you really want him to gut the military to get the budget back in line or not?
Hard choices?
No, we’ll be presented with the Hobsin’s choice and that’s about it. Expect there to be plenty of them.

What 0bonehead is attempting to do is to “shape” the false choice that his opponents are for big deficits so that he can continue the cycle of taking more wealth - distribute more wealth.. and so on.
All Liberals can do is TAX and SPEND and we sure as hell will remain opposed to that.
And maybe the voters have a flush ready.
Obama is a phony and a fag.
You have to break the system before you can rebuild it to what you want.
the sockpuppet-in-chief is and always had been nothing more than a candidate with a promter. That’s it.
