Are you believing what Obama is saying?

Question

As was expected, Obama goes on TV and totally blames the Republican party for the stalemate over the Sequester. Of course, if you look for the truth, we have seen the videos of Obama DEMANDING the Sequester be part of the raising the U.S. debt limit in the past year. At the time, Obama SAID, Do not send me a bill WITHOUT the Sequester. If you do, I WILL NOT sign the bill. NOW, Obama is throwing the entire blame on Someone else, which he has done for 4 years. AND the really sad issue is the U.S. government, according to the GAO, will continue to SPEND more money this year and each of the following 4 years, AND we will have a $20 TRILLION debt with in the next 4 years. Obama is saying he has put a plan Out There but it hasn't been accepted. Problem? What plan? Where are the "Specific" cuts that we, as a nation, MUST HAVE if we are to have any kind of financial future? He keeps talking about loop holes, which I favor. BUT, those types of cuts will never get us any where near where we need to be.

Answer 1

You're just plain wrong



the tea party forced these cuts on Obama in EXCHANGE for raising the debt ceiling



In your deluded world, Obama made a deal with the tea party where he got the sequester and the debt ceiling raised and they got nothing

Proving, that you are WRONG

Answer 2

Our problem is neither debt nor deficit but, more exactly, high debt interest expense plus chronic unemployment, crumbling infrastructure, potential inflation, and near-zero interest rates.



The cure:



1. To shrink the debt interest expense, stop auctioning bonds to finance budget deficits. This scam has redistributed trillions of dollars from middle class taxpayers to rich bond-holders.



2. Instead, do as Lincoln and FDR and leaders of every other great nation did in their wartime crises, always followed by postwar prosperity: print the money! Two of our greatest inventors and most conservative business men, Henry Ford and Thomas Edison, believed that government should create debt-free money for public projects. http://prosperityuk.com/2000/09/thomas-edison-on-government-created-debt-free-money/



3. To end unemployment, spend the printed money heavily on much-needed infrastructure. (World War II unemployment rate was under 1 %.)



4. When unemployed labor becomes scarce, delay the infrastructure projects and raise interest rates to prevent harmful inflation and maintain permanent prosperity.



No more problems! Wasn’t that easy? If you agree, copy this response and make it yours!

Answer 3

No.......this is only cuts to future spending plans but seeing how he gets to make the cuts he will make them hurt the people as much as possible so he can blame the republicans. I can not believe how anyone could believe him. They do not see his manipulation of his base and allowing criminals loose just to make his point is really an impeachable offense........

Answer 4

Just another example of the "blame game" that Obama is a master at playing. I do get the feeling it's starting to wear thin with the majority of Americans...

Answer 5

Have not believed obama for so long, can't remember when. He is a liar of the worst kind.. I think he thinks he is telling the truth. Sick desperate man!

Answer 6

I never believe what the boy who cried Wolf says. This day will come and go just as every other day. I am a Senior and it will take someone a whole lot more believable than this idiot to scare me. He is just a bottom feeder.

Answer 7

I am not listening to what he is saying, I am not listening to the Republicans either because only what they do ( or do not do) will effect me, the rest is just BS.

Answer 8

Grampa, step away from the computer and get a job. Failing that, get a life.

Answer 9

Is "Are you believing what Obama is saying?" sort of like "Do you believe Obama?"

Answer 10

Is it better be warned before something happens so you can make preparations or be surprised and then react?

Answer 11

NO, I AM NOT A LIBERAL KOOL AID DRINKER

Answer 12

Since you're such a fan of capital letters, YES, I believe him.
