Come on. . .anyone who’s read Hillbuzz (at least when it was a going concern. . . .) knows that there’s a ton of evidence that Obama is gay, and Michelle is his beard. . . .

"Before the talks ran into trouble, Obama had originally been expected to stay in Hawaii - where he was born - until well into the first week of January."

Someone please explain to me why they felt the need to add that little nugget.

Just like A.P. "Where he was born." (A.P. added "and was raised.") They are afraid they public hasn't completely swallowed this fable, so they keep repeating it in the hope that they will believe it.

Open note to A.P. and Reuters:

BO wasn't born in Hawai'i. No one believes it. Save your ink and pixels and typing fingers.

Although I’m sure they want us to believe that, I think there is a different issue at work here. They-the MSM-have determined folks aren’t thrilled this clown vacations in Hawaii whenever possible when he never set foot there before our dime came along. They need to establish a reason this is where they spend Christmas.

If he’d go to his 4+ million $$$$$ vacation, maybe just maybe Boehner would find the cajones to do his d*** job and just pass a responsible bdget bill with a substantial tax cut. As long as Zero is hanging around this will never happen.

Why would he do that? He hasn’t dealt with it or anything but his playtime before.

He is only cutting it short because the storm might have extended it.

Yep. Now ay a comprehensive deal gets done now, in fact, I don’t want another ‘Sausage” factory deal in 2 days. That’s all they are going to do, kick the can down the road. But hey, I’m glad he has to come back. How many vacations did any of us get? I know I didn’t, nless it was a for a few hours as part of business travel.

Oh, the hardship..this “presidentin” stuff is hard!

Or Boehner is prepared to make a deal supported by the Rat members of the House along with RINOs against the rest of the Republicans.

Absolutely right. The cliff we have already fallen over is $ 16 trillion in debt. That’s a cliff like no one has ever seen before.

Taxpayers spent $1.4 billion dollars on everything from staffing, housing, flying and entertaining President Obama and his family last year.In comparison, British taxpayers spent just $57.8 million on the royal family.

I’ll be sure to get an extra newspaper for the extra coupons to clip Sunday so I can help fund another trip for this selfless, pennypinching, deficit hawk who is so worried about the me, the “workin’ man”.

“However, many of the Tea Party Republicans in the House oppose the extension of the 2% cut in the Social Security Payroll Tax”.

One of those really bad ideas meant to go right over the head of Republican haters, that is doing nothing more than speeding up the demise of SS, and increasing the federal deficit.

...but obama gets to use as a bludgeon and call it a tax cut.

Low info voters, are his base, where the obvious is obscured by Bee Ess.
