Obama Says He Can’t ‘Jedi Mind Meld’ a Budget Deal

 (WASHINGTON) — A combative President Barack Obama blamed Republican lawmakers Friday for failing to stop automatic spending cuts from beginning to kick in late in the day, arguing he can’t perform a “Jedi mind meld” to get Republicans to agree on a deal. But he and GOP leaders displayed no appetite for letting the fight shut the government down later this month.
Meeting on the day that $85 billion in federal spending cuts were to begin to take effect, the nation’s top government officials made no progress on how to avoid what they all agreed would be damaging reductions in defense and domestic spending.

    Republicans are amenable to closing loopholes in the tax system - as part of a comprehensive tax reform plan...that will lead to reduced rates for the taxpayers.

    The President and the 'left' side want to take the money gained by closing the loopholes and waste it as they have been for the last few years....on aid to Egypt/ Pakistan, buying votes with socialized gifts (Obamaphones), and cow-towing to the illegal immigrant defenders (Dream Act executive order).

    He's got to blame somebody! He has NO answers or solutions to ANYTHING except spend ,spend, spend...
    George Bush was probably one of the MOST backward people I'd EVER seen until OweBama made the scene.
    Bush had the sense to surround himself with people who were smart,vs. O.B. who is surrounded by idiocracy and incompetence.
    Wow, what a combination!!!!

    "Jedi Mind Meld"? 1st off, you don't mix Star Wars with Star Trek. You just don't do it. The nerd in me is so horribly offended right now it's beyond words. 2nd - you don't mix Star Wars with Star Trek! You just don't do it! It could cause a rupture in the very fabric of space and time. It was reckless... and inexcusable.

    Jedi mind meld? What a clown, how about talking and working with the republicans and not insisting on yet another tax increase without sensible spending cuts. This guy has got to be the country's most useless demagogue president ever RE-elected.
