Yesterday President Obama appeared before the cameras after his fiscal cliff talk with congressional leaders, and he spoke of “ordinary folks.”
Ordinary folks, they do their jobs. They meet deadlines. They sit down and discuss things and then things happen. It there are disagreements they sort through the disagreements. The notion that our elected leadership can’t do the same thing is mind-boggling to them. It needs to stop. So I’m modestly optimistic that an agreement can be achieved. Nobody’s going to get 100% of what they want. But let’s make sure that middle class families and the American economy and in fact the world economy aren’t adversely impacted because people can’t do their jobs.
Ordinary folks also balance our budgets, unlike the Democrats who haven’t even passed a budget in the Senate in over three years, and Obama, whose last budget got a total of zero votes.
Nice Deb had a field day with it:
I should mention that Obama cut his Hawaiian golf vacation short (costing ordinary folks who pay taxes an extra $100,000-$200,00 in transportation costs) so he could meet with intransigent Republican leaders and push them to agree to the “Obama middle class tax cuts” (Obama’s a big tax cutter, you know) because he cares for us folks so deeply.
Obama reportedly told John Boehner that he will use his inaugural address, and State of the Union to blame the GOP if we go over the cliff – because he has such a connection with ordinary folks all across the nation, he knows we will believe anything he says even if it’s a big fat lie.
I can tell you another thing a lot of ordinary folks are discussing as they “meet their deadlines” and “do their jobs” and that’s the $1 trillion in Obamacare job-killing tax hikes that are hitting on Jan. 1. …
A majority of ordinary folks oppose ObamaCare, yet it is being thrust upon them, anyway. Oh well!-And even though most ordinary folks support the right to bear arms, Obama wants to restrict our Second Amendment rights. Truth be told, he doesn’t think we folks should be allowed to own guns at all. (Shhhhh- don’t tell anyone I told you – I don’t think we’re supposed to know that.)-Another thing we ordinary folks are excited about – that raise for Biden, members of Congress, and federal Workers that Obama ordered. I’m so glad that while we in fly over country struggle to pay our Christmas credit card bills, at least the well heeled elites in America’s richest city will continue to prosper. Good for them. That should make the ordinary folks Obama is spamming for donations to pay for his inauguration ceremonies want to fork over even more their hard earned cash to him.

I am not so sure they can even think coherently, much less know what they want or you want. I just checked out the Times – glutton for punishment that I am. Can you make sense of the following sentence ?
“An unwavering commitment to keep middle-class taxes low could be one reason the political process has become so deeply dysfunctional.”
Funny – I can reel off a few hundred reasons the political process is dysfunctional, and low taxes would probably not make the top ten. Maybe I will read more of the article, but so far I am not sure it is worth the bother.

They say what they have to say to get what they have to get to give to others for votes to maintain their power. The “low info”, majority voter could care less about whatever any politico says at this point because nothing they say affects their lifestyle that’s afforded on our backs. Marxist policies do nothing but keep Marxists in power.

The main problem with politics these days are a majority of voters are “Low Information Voters” These LIV’s get their news from ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, etc. (all liberal douche nozzles), but not FOX, (over the head of LIVs), and thus are easily swayed. I say go over the goddamn cliff. The GOP is going to get blamed, no matter what. A President who can’t lead should be fired. Boehner is a disgrace, as is (little man syndrome) Reid.
This crap is just confirming what Obi-One has in store for us. He will not take the blame for anything and will continue to smear anyone who gets in his way. Obama will, in the end, get what he deserves. History will prove him to be a floppy eared doofus!

It’s hard to imagine someone worse than FDR, LBJ, Carter, and Clinton combined. But here we have the fabricated, composite, fraudulent, community agitator-in-chief orchestrating one manufactured crisis off another narrative knitted crisis preaching to his instant gratification secular coalition of lunatics that it’s somebody else’s fault the Demoncrats put an extra $1.3 Trillion into the Continuing Resolution that BHO signed as a Budget 4/2009 and the last budget passed. That trickery means the EXTRA $1.3 Trillion is in every BASELINE BUDGET forward and why they are operating off a Continuing Resolution so as not to be accountable for the SPENDING. Debt is now 107% of GDP. Worldwide derivatives are over $700 Trillion of which $225 Trillion belong to U.S. Too Big To Fail acolytes but WE the Taxpayer are responsible for all since BHO tethered our economy and Federal Reserve to the IMF—G20 crew.
