Obama: I Met Republicans Halfway On Taxes, More Than Halfway On Spending
THE PRESIDENT: Good afternoon, everybody. Over the last few weeks I've been working with leaders of both parties on a proposal to get our deficit under control, avoid tax cuts -- or avoid tax hikes on the middle class, and to make sure that we can spur jobs and economic growth -- a balanced proposal that cuts spending but also asks the wealthiest Americans to pay more; a proposal that will strengthen the middle class over the long haul and grow our economy over the long haul.
During the course of these negotiations, I offered to compromise with Republicans in Congress. I met them halfway on taxes, and I met them more than halfway on spending. And in terms of actual dollar amounts, we're not that far apart.
As of today, I am still ready and willing to get a comprehensive package done. I still believe that reducing our deficit is the right thing to do for the long-term health of our economy and the confidence of our businesses. I remain committed to working towards that goal, whether it happens all at once or whether it happens in several different steps.

This guy is nothing but a sociopath with a cult following of losers.
For a possible clue see what happened to Mussolini in Italy or Hitler in Germany.
“This guy is nothing but a sociopath with a cult following of losers.”
I agree.
No, he is not the worst president ever, because he is NOT the president!
obama is the biggest fraud on earth - he lies about his birth place (first Kenya, then Hawaii), his name, his selective service, his social security number (he has many!), his educational background (never went to Columbia), his ‘book’ (he did not write them!) lies on his law license application (lied that he has no other names...)
Yes, he is the worst liar ever!

Mr. Obama, saying it doesn’t make it so.
I hope I live to see that day.
When I get to the point of hoping the Russians take over to rid us of this trash, I have sunk pretty low on the desperation scale.
He’s done nothing but flap his gums. A sloth is more energetic.
Obummer cannot figure out how much halfway 50% is coz:
“The math stuff was fine up until about 7th grade,” Obama said. After that “I’m pretty lost”
BS - not to offend any other animals, reptiles, birds and etc that produce an excrement. Let me get this off my chest - it is worth 100 Obamannochio’s
I wouldn't be shocked if there's a Freeper wing in the place in a few years.
Lying kenyan, anti-American fag bastid.

I’ve often said he could s##t on a plate and the media would call it peanut butter.
“Check the transcript, Candy.”
obama is of satan and satan is the prince of lies.

We are truly blessed.
Is there any sacrifice the Obamasiah will not make for the good of the country?
He wants to save $4 trillion dollars by not building a bridge to Africa.
And another $4 Trillion by not sending a mission to colonize Alpha- Centauri.
What is wrong with the republicans? Why can't they get on board the Obama Express?

Riiiiight.
There’s no agreement on anything. Obama’s a huckster.
