Did You Notice

Did you notice when Obama wasn't getting his way on raising
the debt ceiling. . .  whom he
focused his threats on?


He did not threaten to stop payments to illegal aliens, he did not threaten to take frivolous benefits such as internet access away from violent inmates, he did not offer to fire some of the thousands of unnecessary federal employees that he hired, he did not offer to cut down on his or his wife's frivolous gallivanting around, he did not threaten not to pay the senators and representatives or any of their staff, he did not threaten to take benefits away from people who are just too lazy to work, he did not threaten to take benefits away from welfare recipients, he did not threaten the food stamp programs, he did not threaten not to pay foreign a id. Nor did he offer to give up his almost "daily" Air Force One trips. What does it really cost to fire that big bird up and deliver him wherever he wants to go? The engine hasn't cooled down since he took office!
This list goes on and on. He did not threaten to cut back on anything that involves his voting base.

He is in full political reelection mode!
He threatened not to pay social security retirees, military retirees, social security disability and federal retirees.

I am no longer surprised at the stupidity that comes out of these anti-Obama posts.

We currently borrow 37% of what we spend. Cut out ALL "Obama spending" (part of which is what you have listed) and you are still left with a gaping hole nearly the size of the defense budget/medicare+medicade/ss individually. But oh I forgot, facts don't matter when you're trying to smear your political opponent.

He wants to scare the old people in order to turn them against the GOP, because he knows older people vote more than any other group.

Word is his big idea for creating jobs that he will unveil in September after his vacation with the rich and famous in Martha's Vineyard is a third stimulus. Is this guy an idiot? The first two stimuli did nothing to create jobs and just put us further in debt. He plans to pay for it by cutting federal entitlement programs. The money will go to states for public sector jobs. Public sector jobs won't get us out of this depression.

And some of your readers where all for it. I bet they were in neither group that would be affected.
