Now that is a real president.
Now that is a real president.
Obama should give Boehner a call and tell him:
"Here's the deal. Take it or not. I've compromised all I'm going to and I don't have to worry about being elected ever again. Right now I'm headed down to the beach for a couple Margaritas. I'll be back in Washington sometime after New Years. Oh.....tell McConnell he can kiss my black ass." [click].

Blame him for doing nothing, then blame him for doing something. Your party is a fucking joke because it makes guys like Obama look like heroes for just trying.
The Obama insists on continuing his quest to bypass Carter as the worse president of all-time.
Enablers can complain all they want about Bush and the Republican house but, what really is lacking is the ability to lead.
They are going to kick the fiscal cliff can down the road and then in two months we will be in exactly the same position with the debt ceiling which, by the way, was the driver, six months ago, for where we are now headed toward "fiancial ruin."

It's all dog and pony show for Obama, pretending to care, he wants us all to pay more in taxes :sadwave:
Do you think anyone in Washington including The Obama are really that upset that taxes will go up on everyone?
They can all blame each other and then figure out ways to spend our money.

If they care about reducing the deficit, probably not. You guys BITCH about the debt, but then BITCH about paying it down with something other than other people's money. Children have more sense.
We tried the "lower taxes to boost the economy" experiment and we have gone broke.
WASHINGTON ? The average number of people seeking U.S. unemployment benefits over the past month fell to the lowest level since March 2008, a sign that the job market is healing.
The Labor Department said Thursday that weekly applications dropped 12,000 to a seasonally adjusted 350,000 in the week ended Dec. 22. The four-week average, a less volatile measure, fell to a nearly five-year low of 356,750.

Here's a new approach Nuts...try stop spending so much.
You think if they have more of my dollars in their pocket they are going to pay down the debt...anyone with a brain and the ability to read a newspaper knows that they will spend every cent that comes in, times two, and then raise the debt ceiling and then come begging back again.
I'm glad the unemployment rate went down although the number of people on SSN disability is at an all time high as well as those on public assistance. Happy days are here again...I think not.

and Higher taxes boost the economy :shrug:
I don't like either one :nono:
Here is something new to try
How about not spednig money you don't have :SIB
Thanks to an investigation and report from GSA Inspector General Brian D. Miller, The Washington Post, and the Associated Press, we now know how Johnson and her team spent all that money. Here's how it breaks down (keep in mind that in 2010, according to Inspector Miller's report, the meal and incidental expenses allowance was $71 per day):
$31,000 on a "networking reception" that featured $19-per-person "American artisanal cheese display" and $7,000 in sushi
$3,200 on a session with a mind reader
$5,600 for in-room parties
$100,405.37 in employee travel costs to scout the event--meaning, these people returned to the Las Vegas area multiple times to visit hotels before settling on the fancy M Resort and Casino.
$3,700 for T-shirts
$2,800 in water bottles
$1,500 for "Boursin scalloped potato with Barolo wine-braised short ribs" and a $525 bartender fee for a cash bar.
Three officials spent almost $400 for rented tuxedos
$1,840 for vests for the 19 ?regional ambassadors? and other employees
$146,527.05 was spent on catered food during the entire conference
$6,325 was spent on commemorative coins in velvet boxes to reward all participants for their work on stimulus projects (because a certificate and the $800,000 party they're at wouldn't do)
$75,000 for a ?team-building? exercise ? the goal was to build bicycles (which would later be donated to a Boys & Girls Clubs)
More details can be found here, here, and here.
But, we felt this one deserves a special shoutout: "Another agency employee sought a discount on a $98 purse from the hotel gift shop. She received a $30 break," reported the AP. Because hey, when you're making it rain with $7,000 sushi, who has $98 dollars to spend on a tacky gift shop purse?
According to The Washington Post, Obama is upset with Johnson's attempted recreation of The Hangover. The president ?was outraged by the excessive spending, questionable dealings with contractors, and disregard for taxpayer dollars,? White House Chief of Staff Jacob Lew told The Washington Post. He added, ?all those responsible to be held fully accountable.?
.................................................................
Americans are suckers to allow this spending.
Several heads of GSA have been terminated. But how many more skate along for years and years hitting up spending as they see fit.
add it up over the course of a year and I am sure
its gabillions.
and we wonder where the yellow went

Matt Damon rather infamously said in 2011 that he wouldn?t mind if President Barack Obama ? whom the actor had supported in 2008 ? was a one-term president because he?d rather have a ?one-term president with some balls who actually got stuff done.? (The comment even earned Damon some flak from the president himself.)
But, he still did his part to give Obama a second term, admitting that he still voted for him in November.
?I assume there will be some Supreme Court appointments in this next term; that alone was reason to vote for him,? Damon told Playboy magazine in its January 2013 issue. ?I don?t think I said anything a lot of people weren?t thinking. It?s easier now more than ever in my life to feel the fix is in, the game is rigged and no matter how hard you work to change things, it just doesn?t matter.?
Damon?s newest flick, ?Promised Land,? has him playing a salesperson trying to persuade homeowners to sell their natural gas drilling rights, which means that their land will ultimately be ?fracked,? a term used to describe a process by which gas is released through drilling and pressurized fluid. The issue of fracking has become a political hot potato lately, in part because of the 2010 Oscar-nominated documentary, ?Gasland? (and subsequent counter-movies, including ?Truthland? and ?FrackNation?). In May, Al Gore put his support behind Vermont?s effort to ban fracking, citing environmental concerns.
Damon explained what politics, if any, are behind ?Promised Land.?
?We went to the studio saying, ?Who f?king wants to go see an anti-fracking movie?? and were all in agreement. When we were working on the script, it was about wind farms, but we changed it to fracking ? a good issue because the stakes are so high. That sh*t is real. They?re debating about letting it happen in New York now. To us, the movie was really about American identity. We loved the characters because they felt like real people making the kinds of compromises you have to just to live your life.?
Damon said he isn?t so naive to think that any politician would ever move to make serious action against fracking.:SIB
?We?re at a point where politicians don?t really get any benefit from engaging with long-term issues. Instead, it?s all about the next election cycle. Those guys in the House don?t do anything now but run for office. So unless they can find some little thing that zips them up a couple of points in the polls, they?re not interested. There?s a consensus among scientists, though, that we face serious long-term issues. They?re saying that unless we engage with those issues, we?re genuinely f*cked. The way it looks, we?re going to wait until one of those big issues smacks us.?
