| The Wall Street Journal has reported that Barack Obama, petulant as usual, was considering using his State of the Union speech to blame Republicans for the impasse in dealing with the “fiscal cliff.” The Journal wrote: Mr. Obama repeatedly lost patience with the speaker as negotiations faltered. In an Oval Office meeting last week, he told Mr. Boehner that if the sides didn´t reach agreement, he would use his inaugural address and his State of the Union speech to tell the country the Republicans were at fault. This was just before Boehner’s Plan B went down in flames

Boehner and the Republicans in the House & Senate have to stay united against the coming Obama onslaught. The B.O. Bully will lead a media circus that alleges that the GOP caused every heinous act, from allowing the Newtown, CT shootings through lack of gun control to forcing the elderly to eat dog food due to lack of Social Security checks.
Obama will also lay blame for his failures in Libya, Egypt, Syria and Afghanistan on the GOP because they wanted to cut funding from something. Finally, the coming explosion in health care costs & ObamaCare taxes will be pinned on the back of the GOP because these old white guys wanted Obama to fail.
While these charges are all specious, Obama will repeat them incessantly, as will the media. Just remember that Bush drove the bus into the ditch and that the Repubs wanted to take away his mop so he couldn´t get it out. Made absolutely no sense, but this and "revenge" got him reelected.

Nothing much that the Republicans have done, or have offered to do, is going to please Bronco Bama very much. Like a petulant teenager, he wants to heap blame on all the "oppressors" in his life, the people who stifle every little impulse that stirs his id, and puts on a display of whining in public that would shame the Kardashians.
Bronco Bama certainly shares top billing on the Huffington Post with that family of dysfunctionals.

Boehner needs to expose the fraud of Obama and the liberals like him, since Obama is small, petty and not serious.
Pass small, specific bills without any added pork. All with specific up-and-down votes. Prospose just the tax rates on the top 2%, and protecting the rest. Nothing more, or else.
Illustrate how Obamination wants more spending on new programs instead of reducing the deficit and how that new spending is greater than the tax on the rich revenues.

Stay united on principle and don´t give an inch on taxes or spending. The future of our country depends on you holding out on this socialism program of the democrats.

Boehner told obama that he got some tax increases and asked him what he was going to offer back and obama said that nothing was the answer.

Obama is pushing his luck, which will soon run out on him.
God is sovereign! He is able to accomplish anything He deems as Righteous!
We are celebrating the birth of Jesus, God´s Son, who came into this world to "set the captives free", to prove the Love of God is more powerful than all that Satan even thinks he is capable of.
Satan has enlisted many to accomplish his satanic agenda, which will be torn to shreds when Jesus returns, when His rule/way will be wanted, having experienced all Satan has used (political correctness) to separate US.
Obama continues to usurp God´s power over US. We were dedicated to God. Our currency states our Faith in Him. Obama is not sovereign. He needs and will learn that - hopefully/prayerfully sooner than later.
Obama is challenging God! He doesn´t know that is not a winning way! He will find out. Pray that we, who believe, will be saved from the consequences of Obama´s bad choices.
Only in Christ do we have everything we need! He alone is able to deliver US from evil - here and abroad!

BO will blame the GOP for all the ills of the nation. The parrot media will help him spread that false message. There is no one in the GOP who can stand up and speak for the party and their position. Like Romney, they will remain quiet. Boehner is not the man for the job.
Maybe an angry Rubio and maybe, believe it or not, Chris Christie. This may be one opportutnity for him to speak up the truth about the BO administration and eliminate all doubt about him being a republican.
We are insolvent as a nation. We are dead broke. It does not matter whose taxes go up. The 16 trillion debt is unmanageable. The democrats will make no cuts in ANY program and it was never their intent to do so. Going cliffting has been their intent all along. Boehner may want to go postal and say it to the nation.

If 0 had genuinely won the election, and there had been no Dem fraud, then he would not need to take a "bullying" posture.
The Republicans majority in the House and minority in the Senate should all take off their shoes and pound their shoes on their desks, and then throw their shoes at the "bully" OR, in a more subtle group gesture, they all could prop their feet up on their desks and show 0 the soles of their feet. Then there is always 0´s favorite one fingered "salute."

Stop feeding them. I think this would be very powerful and sadly it´s a commentary whose day has come.

Democratic Party officials believe that Kevin Strouse is exactly the kind of candidate who can help them retake the House next year. He’s a smart, young former Army Ranger — good qualities for any aspiring politician. But what party leaders really like is that Strouse doesn’t have particularly strong views on the country’s hottest issues. Immigration? Tax policy? “Certainly I have a lot of research to do,” Strouse acknowledged in an interview Thursday as he announced his candidacy in a suburban Philadelphia House district. Strouse’s candidacy reflects an emerging

Put out an all-points bulletin: Millions of Americans have gone missing from the workforce. Every month that those would-be workers are gone raises the odds that they might never come back, dimming the prospects for future economic growth. The vanishing trend is more than a decade old, but it accelerated during the Great Recession. Throughout 2012, economists held out hope that it had stopped. But then came Friday’s jobs report, and hopes were dashed. The Labor Department reported that the U.S. labor force — everyone who has a job or is looking for one — shrank

Carbon emissions in the US were at their lowest level in 2012 since 1994, according to figures released by the US Energy Information Administration. We did it without carbon trading scams, the EPA making carbon dioxide a poison, or obeying the dictates of the Kyoto climate Treaty. We did it partly because of decreased economic activity as a result of the Obama recovery-that-isn’t, but mostly because of good old fashioned market forces; competition between natural gas and coal: Energy-related carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in 2012 were the lowest in the United States since 1994

It is amazing just how wrong economists were in their predictions for the number of jobs that were to be created in March. The “consensus” figure was 200,000 — a far cry from the actual number created which was 88,000. Totally “unexpected,” as usual. In one way, you can’t blame them. After a better than average gain in February of 236,000 (revised upward this month to 268,000), along with some positive numbers in housing and consumer spending, there were no doubt many analysts who began breathing a sigh of relief and believing that the long-awaited jobs recovery was upon us.

Rich Lowery in the New York Post (4-02-2013) accuses the liberals of being the new climate deniers, considering that they don´t recognize that there´s been no global warming for the last fifteen years. This shouldn´t surprise Lowery. When the liberals hang onto the neck of a cause, they don´t let go. They have ignored murders, rapes, wars, nuclear proliferation, and everything wrong with the world to focus in on their little area -- the horror of carbon emissions. You´d think liberals would have learned from their earlier panic about overpopulation

President Obama will propose a budget next week that embraces a risky strategy of courting Republicans for a grand bargain on the debt while angering Democratic allies with cuts to the nation’s entitlement programs. White House officials said Friday that Obama’s budget would cut Medicare and Social Security and ask for less tax revenue than he has previously sought. The budget, to be released Wednesday, will fully incorporate the offer Obama made to House Speaker John A. Boehner (R-Ohio) during December’s “fiscal cliff” talks — which included $1.8 trillion in deficit reduction through spending cuts and tax increases.

But in the months since, the gun rights group has made itself impossible for the Alaska Democrat, and many other lawmakers, to resist. Begich has signed on as a co-sponsor of a bill, drafted in consultation with the NRA, that would change the way mental illness is reported in the background check system — a measure that critics say

The unemployment rate, because of a terrible statistic, is down to 7.6%. The number of people in this country who are not working is shameful. Ninety million Americans are no longer in the workforce. Ninety million. People not in the labor force grew by 663,000, and now 90 million. That´s the labor force participation rate. This is 1979 levels.

President Obama´s biggest gaffe yesterday when speaking of California Attorney General Kamala Harris was not in flirtatiously complimenting her as "the best-looking attorney general," but in introducing an observation from the system of beauty into a forum that was about the system of power.What´s that, you say? Irin Carmon does a great job in Salon in laying out the bounds of propriety for when it´s appropriate to talk about a woman´s looks as a general matter. But I´ve long felt we lack a solid theoretical underpinning for easily discussing these issues, and why precisely it is that

Michelle Obama has admitted that she is already tired of the bangs she first sported in January. The First Lady said in an interview with Entertainment Tonight: ´Bangs are a day-by-day proposition. They´re starting to grow out, get a little irritating.´ Still, she hasn´t let her hairdo woes get her down. ´It´s okay,´ she said after her initial complaint. ´We´ll be good.´ The first indication that her hairstyle was becoming a burden came about last weekend, when Malia, 14, was spotted adjusting her mother´s hair during the White House Easter Egg Roll.

No one is more preoccupied these days with Hillary Clinton´s 2016 plans than the Beltway political class—not even the former presidential candidate herself. To hear some tell it, her decision will be dispositive for all other Democrats thinking of entering the race. And pundits and reporters aren´t the only ones positing the "The Hillary Factor": No less than the House Democratic whip, Steny Hoyer, told BuzzFeed, “I don´t know that anybody would run against Hillary…. If she runs, she clears the field.” It´s an understandable conclusion, given Clinton´s stature in the Democratic Party and her 70 percent
