| President Obama, speaking to a very friendly Al Sharpton as part of a round with black broadcasters Thursday, offered a harsh assessment of the GOP -- arguing that their opposition to taxing the wealthy was the only thing keeping an otherwise deeply divided party from falling apart. Speaking about the looming sequester deadline, Obama said: "My sense is that their basic view is that nothing is important enough to raise taxes on wealthy individuals or corporations, and they would rather see [billions in sequester cuts to social programs]... That´s the thing that binds their party together at this point."

When is the GOP going to fight back? There is so much ammunition, such as crony capitalism, to point out Obama´s hypocrisy.

Actually Obama, The GOP is the party that supports and protects the military from democrats. There is NO reason to cut anything from the military. It is the money like the Solyndra fiasco going down the crapper where cuts MUST be made. Not one penny should be cut from the military until serious spending cuts have been made, and waste, fraud and abuse is curtailed. Start there and then get back to us. signed We the People. PS I have had it with this hate monger pretend President.

I wish the Republicans would make just one last definitive statement. If a person is so stupid as to believe this incompetent Marxist and his sycophant media, then the Democratic Party is the place for you. An average IQ of a billiard ball would be a stretch for most of them. It´s demeaning for a party of principles to cater to such people.

he is delusional to think that his tax policy is the only thing that people could disagree with. his tax policy probably would not harm me, but i disagree with him in almost every way imaginable, and i believe he is the most hateful, divisive person to have served in that office. unlike what others may be inclined to say, i would probably feel the same about him even if he were never in politics.

These stupid Democrats make no sense. Why would everyone in the GOP want to put all their effort into "helping the rich" as if they are somehow a downtrodden underdog? Come on! If anything the Dems are the ones funneling cash to all their fat cat friends because their fat cat friends give back a lot in campaign contributions. But the general public doesn´t know it and that is why they get away with it. But why would regular everyday middle-class Repubicans want to make rich people richer? They wouldn´t. Stupid leftists are always lying and projecting their character flaws onto everyone else.

Obama encourages discord and division at every turn. This class warfare strategy has been the cornerstone of Communism since the violent Bolshevik takeover in Russia in the early years of the 20th Century.
I frequently think of the Bible verse, "A house divided against itself cannot stand." The same is true for nations. Obama knows this and pits unions against non-union workers, blacks against whites, liberals against conservatives, legitimate citizens against illegal aliens, non-gun owners against gun-owners, global warming advocates against those who believe it is a bogus political movement, and yes, rich against poor.
Obama does everything he can to weaken and destroy America. The sooner we are rid of him the better our nation will be.

Does anyone else find it offensive that Obama invites a group of black only broadcasters? I thought separate but equal was ruled unconstitutional decades ago. Are there also white-only round tables at WH, besides MSNBC? Mulatto only? Hispanic only? If a corporation held black only shareholder meetings, the EEOC would be subjecting firm to fines.

The accusation of protecting the rich is only a red herring. Always has been. Obama and the Democrats claim to raise taxes on rich folks and actually raise taxes on middle income people on up. It´s a win win for Obam and the dems. Win by blaming the rich, win by raking in the moola.

Now that it´s become increasingly clear that the rich don´t pay taxes anyway, maybe it would be a good time for the Republicans in Congress to choose another issue to focus on instead of saving the rich from the higher taxes they don´t pay.
Obama´s nominee for Treasury Secretary, Jack Lew, recently defended his use of a tax shelter at his Senate confirmation hearings by stating that what he did was perfectly legal. And if Mr. Lew, an Orthodox Jew, thinks it´s kosher to have a secret bank account in the Cayman Islands, why shouldn´t every rich person take advantage of such an opportunity? And most do.
The Republicans´ notion that if rich people had more money, they´d start more businesses, is as much of a fallacy as the Federal Reserve´s notion that if banks had more money they´d make more housing loans.
The reason people aren´t buying more houses is because we´re in a recession and they can´t afford them, even though the Fed has flooded the banks with money.
And the reason rich people aren´t starting businesses is also because we´re in a recession and people can´t afford to buy the products that new businesses would produce, not because rich people don´t have enough money to invest.
The Republicans should make a deal with Obama: they´ll agree to raise taxes on the wealthy, which the wealthy won´t pay anyway, if the Democrats agree to make spending cuts large enough to reassure investors and bond-rating agencies that the U.S. is fiscally responsible enough to avoid turning into Greece.

The Obama kid´s repeated attempts at impersonating Vladimir Ilich Lenin are, frighteningly, becoming more and more convincing. His Politburo has assembled. His Comintern is not far behind. Ladies and Gentlemen, we are re-enacting the Early Soviet Union of the 1920´s, but without the opposition of capitalist society.

When Chelsea Clinton wanted to make a low-key visit to the hurricane-stricken Rockaways last fall, she arranged to take a trip with her close friend Huma Abedin, a longtime aide to Hillary Rodham Clinton. So some members of the Clinton camp were surprised and unsettled to learn that Ms. Abedin also brought along her husband, Anthony D. Weiner, the former congressman who had rarely been seen in public since resigning his seat the previous year.

WASHINGTON — At times on Thursday, it seemed President Obama was taking part in a debate rather than giving a speech. Deep into an address at the National Defense University, where Mr. Obama sought to redefine America’s approach to fighting terrorism, a heckler repeatedly interrupted from the back of the room, demanding an end to drone strikes and the closing of the Guantánamo Bay detention center in Cuba. The heckler — though she objected strenuously to being described that way — was Medea Benjamin, a co-founder of Code Pink, a group opposed to United States military actions.

The White House says the first lady will also be joined Tuesday by students who helped plant the crops last month. The New Jersey students are from Union Beach Memorial School in Union Beach and Long Beach Island Grade School in Ship Bottom. Both schools were damaged in last October’s storm. Both also teach their students about healthy eating, which is one of the first lady’s causes. The students who helped plant lettuce, broccoli and various other crops

The public got its first look Thursday at Lois Lerner, who has gone from faceless IRS bureaucrat to the face that launched what feels like 1,000 congressional hearings and conspiracy theories. But it was only a brief sighting since she didn´t stay long at a House hearing to further probe her role in how some IRS workers came to target conservative groups seeking tax-exempt status. (Snip)She did make a short statement to declare her innocence, however. Lerner´s motivation was more transparent than much of what the IRS has done in connection with this controversy. She was determined to

When you get right down to it, the political targeting and stalling of tax-exempt applications by the IRS was an effort to defund the Tea Party. Rick Santelli, one of the Tea Party founders and my CNBC colleague, was the first to make this point. I’ve taken it a step further: The IRS was taking the Tea Party out of play for the 2012 election, as it looked to avoid a repeat of 2010 and another Tea Party landslide.There are a lot of numbers out there.

On “Fox News Sunday” last weekend, White House aide Dan Pfeiffer was asked about President Barack Obama’s whereabouts the night of the Sept. 11 attack in Benghazi. This was the night when we lost our first ambassador in 30 years, and when three other Americans were killed in an attack that lasted all night long at multiple locations within the eastern Libyan city. Since the president is commander in chief, one would think where he was and what he did during such an event would be of obvious public concern.

The California Republican said Lerner’s Fifth Amendment right to avoid self-incrimination was voided when she gave an opening statement this morning denying any wrongdoing and professing pride in her government service. “When I asked her her questions from the very beginning, I did so so she could assert her rights prior to any statement,” Issa told POLITICO. “She chose not to do so — so she waived.”

Is the worm turning against Barack Obama? After four-plus years of being given the benefit of the doubt by the bulk of the US media, the President now suddenly feels more vulnerable. Today both the New York Times and the Washington Post have run prominent and angry editorials and columns slamming the administration for its attempt to criminalise a Fox News reporter James Rosen for working a State Department source to obtain a story. The "Rosen Affair"--as it is now known--is poisoning the well in Washington at an alarming rate for Mr Obama, with an indignant White House press corps
