Obama digs in as debt
ceiling fight looms

Los Angeles Times, by Matea Gold

WASHINGTON — Fresh off this week’s last-minute “fiscal cliff” deal, President Obama on Saturday dug in as the prospect of another budget clash with congressional Republicans loomed, warning that he will not negotiate over raising the nation’s debt limit. “One thing I will not compromise over is whether or not Congress should pay the tab for a bill they’ve already racked up,” Obama said in his weekly address. “If Congress refuses to give the United States the ability to pay its bills on time, the consequences for the entire global economy

Pay bills on time?!? That ship has sailed without us as we tread water in a sea of trillions of gallons of red ink.

Apparently, Obama has had nothing to do with the debt. Congress is solely responsible for the trillions in debt racked up at his insistence.

I despise this clown.

Dirty little secret --the bills WILL get paid on time even without raising the debt limit.
The military will be paid and social security checks etc. will still go out.
Obama is trying to sell a bunch of bee ess.
Marxists want the People to live in fear constantly.

The " consequences " are the result of the GOP giving him whatever he asked for . You gave him an inch an now he figures he can roll you whenever he pleases . If congress would have stuck to their guns and stopped the can kicking last time around , the spendaholic would stay in Hawaii . PS staff , his latest fun trip will come to nine mil..

This comic opera was funny the first few times. It has moved from tiresome to tragic.
The growing sense of endless nightmare welling up in me may also be felt by others who may not share my most excellent capacity for self control in the face of bad craziness.

Some bad thing is quite likely to happen.

Some very bad thing.

What a great deal.

Most of the Bush tax cuts are now permanent.

O´s payroll tax cut is gone for EVERYONE.

We will see how the working poor rejoice over this ´deal´.

If Obama wasn´t an affirmative action skater, he would be judged delusional by the LA Times. Instead, the LAT wants us to view his juvenile if not mentally disturbed outbursts and behavior as leadership. The next four years are going to turn us into Venezuela, with a despot viciously attacking the opposition.

Obama would be closing opposition newspapers and TV stations like Chavez but the media have been self-censoring for 60 months about his background and record and will continue to meekly do so.

You can´t make this stuff up, Obama in his weekly address deplores the uncertainty of going from one crisis to another! Mr don´t let a crisis go to waste! He only means the GOP should give in even faster than they do while he gets everything he wants. He talks about a balanced approach and got 48 to 1 taxes over spending cuts. How about more balance and have 48 to 1 spending cuts over taxes with the spending cuts now so they really happen and the taxes ten years from now. He got the rate increase he wants and now talks about closing loopholes. How about closing the loophole for starkist tuna that was put in the fiscal cliff deal so Nancy Pelosi pays her fair share. Obama uses this rhetoric and should be called on his crony capitalism.

The House of Representatives should NOT negotiate or compromise with this president. Just do not fund anything, to the point of shutting down the Government, until sanity returns to DC. and eliminate every useless,
wasteful agency that is not essential to our Country.

Dingy Harry Reid has not allowed a House-passed budget to be voted upon since Duh Wun was elected.

Representatives should be shouting this from the rooftops and in front of every microphone they can until 0bama is put on a very limited budget!! One that leaves absolutely not one penny of "discretionary" spending for Duh Wun to misuse.

Obama and Syria — this dog ain’t wagging.The Obama administration has reached the unenviable stage in which it’s almost impossible to determine where one scandal ends and another begins.The most recent case in point is President Obama’s decision to kinda sorta intervene in the Syrian civil war that is now in its third year.Consider the statement issued by the brother of CBS News president David Rhodes on Thursday. Ben Rhodes — who readers will remember played a major role in the political revisions to the CIA’s Benghazi talking points —

Former Vice President Dick Cheney sees Edward Snowden as a "traitor" for revealing classified information about U.S. surveillance programs and that he´s done some of the worst damage to national security in recent history. "I think he has committed crimes in effect by violating agreements given the position he had. He was a contractor employee, but he obviously was granted top secret clearance," Cheney said on "Fox News Sunday."

Last week, The Guardian and The Washington Post got their hands on a big story about the National Security Agency and its alleged connection to a handful of giant tech companies. The bombshell stories in both publications carried the by-lines of experienced reporters. The Guardian’s Glenn Greenwald, a well-known political commentator who also holds a law degree, has been covering national security issues for nearly a decade, and the Post’s Barton Gellman is a Pulitzer Prize winner who has a distinguished record covering privacy and security issues.

Edward Snowden Is In The

Amid a steady rise of backlash, Edward Snowden, the 29-year-old former National Security Agency contractor who was the source of a spring of leaks about the agency´s surveillance methods, conducted a live chat on The Guardian´s website Monday morning. Judging from some of the pointed questions he´s been asked and the reaction to newly leaked revelations over the past few days, it´s clear that much of the sympathy and support Snowden had built up for his early exposures is eroding. Many Americans supported his decision to leak information about a pair of National Security Agency surveillance programs, which, he detailed, gathered information

As NewsBusters reported last week, former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin called out vulgarian comedian Bill Maher for referring to her Down Syndrome son Trig as "retarded." On ABC´s The View Monday, co-host Barbara Walters astonishingly defended Maher saying, "I don´t think he intended it to be mean-spirited" (video follows with transcript and commentary): WHOOPI GOLDBERG: At a recent standup show in Las Vegas, comedian Bill Maher apparently called Sarah Palin’s five-year-old developmentally-challenged son Trig retarded. And Sarah blasted him on Twitter as a bully. Is that, is it, is he a bully? Is he a bad, what is he?

   

 



 
Who is he? Obama keeps allies,

Five months into his second term, allies and enemies are as confounded as ever about who President Obama really is. Is he the dyed-in-the-wool liberal that his biggest supporters and critics suggest? Or is he a pragmatic, even cynical, politician who cares more for his popularity than taking risks for his ideological goals or living up to his rhetoric? Even in the short period since his reelection, Obama has provided evidence to support conflicting interpretations. His efforts to pass immigration reform, the unsuccessful push for stricter gun controls and tax hikes on high earners buttress the case for Obama-as-ideologue.

Jeb Bush says he’s not worried that his work toward comprehensive immigration reform and his ties to the GOP establishment will alienate conservatives and negatively impact a potential 2016 presidential campaign, referring to critics as “the chirpers.” “If I decide to run for office again, it will be based on what I believe, and it will be based on my record,” the former Florida governor said in an interview with the Christian Broadcasting Network’s David Brody. “And that record was one of solving problems completely from a conservative prospective.” Bush (R) pointed to his conservative

Politico’s Playbook has an excerpt from a new Ryan Lizza piece from the New Yorker that is not yet online. It contains a passage on the back-and-forth between labor and the Chamber that has a quote from a Rubio staffer that is going to raise eyebrows, to say the least: “There are American workers who, for lack of a better term, can’t cut it. There shouldn’t be a presumption that every American worker is a star performer. There are people who just can’t get it, can’t do it, don’t want to do it. And so you can’t obviously discuss that publicly.” Here is the entire context:

Iran is preparing to send 4,000 troops in to Syria to support Syrian President Bashar al-Assad in the wake of America´s announcement it will be providing ´military aid´ to the country´s Muslim rebels. President Barack Obama made the pledge earlier this week after the U.S. claimed it found ´conclusive evidence´ Assad´s regime has used chemical weapons against the rebel forces--which includes the most extreme Sunni Islamists--and has called for Britain and France to back the move. While Britain hasn´t made a guarantee either way as yet, more than 350 Royal Marines are being sent to Jordan

Is Marco Rubio, R-Fla., getting played by Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y.? During his interview with ABC’s Jonathan Karl this morning, Rubio didn’t even seem to understand what that meant. “Are you being played by the Democrats?” asked Karl. “Is Chuck Schumer playing you?” “I don’t — I quite frankly, I don’t even know what that means,” Rubio replied. “Is he using you?” Karl continued. “Is he using you to try to accomplish something that the Democrats want and is not — not a conservative bill?” Rubio responded that immigration reform was a bi-partisan issue that “all Americans
