State of the Union

OBAMA: "Starting in 2011, we are prepared to freeze government spending for three years. Spending related to our national security, Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security will not be affected. But all other discretionary government programs will. Like any cash-strapped family, we will work within a budget to invest in what we need and sacrifice what we don't." (Source: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100128/...ama_fact_check)

From my earlier post on this thread:

...Anyone want to wager AGAINST him saying that the .gov will begin to cut spending? Of course, what he won't tell us is that they only expect to cut discretionary spending which is less than 1% of the total federal budget...

Damn! I called that one.

He is cutting spending to departments like Energy and Transportation.

So we wont have any power or roads to travel anywhere...

Bailey - I wish I'd seen your BARACK Bingo post earlier! That would have been great!

....so his true legacy could down down as a failure in less than 4 years, even worse than carter.

Yeah. Who would have thought that we'd ever look back n the Carter years and think "Well, at least he wasn't the worst President ever"?

Interesting perspective on why Mr. Obama's policies are doomed to fail:

Why wait to freeze next year? What does he think, were idiots? That gives him a whole year to add to the deficit even more.

<start SARCASM here>

Yeah, but it's just one year. I mean really, how much can he add to the deficit in just one year?

<end SARCASM>

TFOGGER: Thanks for that post. I just finished reading it (long read). Very good info.

Don't you remember? He's gonna give everyone a wind turbine and solar array for their home.

I didn't watch, but I'm watching the highlights this morning on the news. I think my head is going to explode. He blames the minority in Congress for not passing anything, forgetting that he had a super-majority in the Senate and a large majority in the House. He claims that he is willing to listen to any idea, yet refuses to look at Republican ideas for health care. I could go on, but I'm afraid I'll throw up.

"Open to other ideas" = Do it my way or else
"Transparent Government" = function behind closed doors

Good call Ginsue. If it wasnt so potentially dangerous to this country it would be funny.
I didnt watch (I wanted to get something productive done) but what bits I have heard and seen it is the same old pitchman. It is like watching infomercials at 3 in the morning.
Biden the bobble head in the back and Pelosi (Mommy Dearest) on the other side.
She looks like an evil feline that is waiting to pounce.
Probably not an overly wise move to diss the Supreme Court.
They have more power than Barry thinks.
Interesting how an eligibility case might be recieved by the SCOTUS in the future.

He's still campaigning.

I have inside info that the reason for the standing ovations was that he got rid of the padded seats, and everyone had to sit on aluminum camp stools.

Pelosi kept jumping up because her egg vibrator kept shorting out.....LOL
