Obama: Guantanamo 'next year'

Every waking hour? Really? That is Clintonspeak. Anyway, he looks real concerned about unemployment when he is playing basketball, holding beer summits, having entertainment acts come to the White House, flying off to NY for a night of dining and theater, jetting all over the country so he can enjoy the comforts and perks of Air Force One.
If unemployment really concerned him he would seek to lower tax rates on corporations and small businesses, strengthen the dollar, not waste money on his stimulus fraud and not take over 1/6th of the U.S. economy with his ridiculous Obamacare.

"One of the trickiest things we're doing right now, is to on the one hand make sure the recovery is supported and not withdraw a lot of money either with tax increases or big spending ...at the same time, making sure that we're setting up a pathway long-term for deficit reduction,'' the president said."

Gee, if he only practiced what he preached. This unexperienced POTUS has been wasting trillions of dollars and spending us into oblivion and NOW he says we need to stop the "big spending"? What about the Cap$Tax scheme? or the trillion dollar goverment takeover of heathcare? Or how about the $787 billion dollar stimulus boondogle? This guy hasn't a clue.

Another day, another Obama "pledge" dishonored by Obama.

John D -- not right as usual -- the whole "lower tax rates on corporations and small businesses" really worked for the last administration, right? That's one of the things that got us into this mess to begin with. The whole "trickle down" theory is a bunch of BS. It doesn't work; it's been proven. They just kept the profits and shipped jobs overseas to reap those benefits put in by the Bush admin as well. Unemployment? Look to those incentives from Bush.

Ahhh, Milw-Town, two years ago under Bush unemployment was under 5. The economy was booming and the Dow passed the 14,000 mark.
Please explain how high taxes on corporations and small businesses leads to jobs. I'd love to see that.
Let's see, Louisiana, which cut its corporate taxes and provides incentives is doing pretty darn well. Illinois, which has high taxes on individuals and businesses, is not. Neither are California, New York, New Jersey.
Please loons on the left, stay at home and in bed. Leave the economy and rest of society to us grown-ups that have a clue.

When will these people wake up from thier 11 month slumber and realize that Bush is GONE???

First of all, corporate taxes had nothing to do with the recession we're in and to say thqat proves the ignorance of the following remarks by this Obama sheeple.

Shipping jobs overseas is a direct result of the Clinton NAFTA push you moron! Just wait for the Obama Cap& Trade (if it passes) and see how many more jobs are lost!

You folks have got no brains at all. The president (Obama not Bush) clearly speaks in circles and in the same sentence he proves his phypocray.

"One of the trickiest things we're doing right now, is to on the one hand make sure the recovery is supported and not withdraw a lot of money either with tax increases or big spending ...at the same time, making sure that we're setting up a pathway long-term for deficit reduction,'' the president said."

Tax increases or big spending? does this president have a "brain eraser" constantly washing off his teleprompter screen?

A pathway long term for deficit reduction? What in the heck does he think his current bailout spending is doing to the long term deficit? Can you sheeple say TRIPLE?

Amazing how anyone could read this drivel and try to defend it.

Springfield, Bush may be gone, but the horrors he inflicted on America and the American people cannot and should not be forgotten. YOU are blinded by politics -- Republicans good; Democrats bad. Simply put, Bush had a surplus when he came into office and (literally) gave it away (said--this $$ belongs to the people, not the government); he rewarded businesses while sticking it to everyone else; never reported the cost of the war(s) in his budgets, so the American people wouldn't know what it was truly costing us and future generations; and ushered us into the recession we've been in. But yes, let's pin all this on Obama's shoulders. After all, he's been in office for a whopping 10 months now. Surely he should have fixed all this already.

Wait, slow down a moment here Obama....

I thought constantly breaking promises and overestimating one's own abilities were a sign of superior intelligence.

This is just another reason why Barack Obama is the bestest president evah - we're all just too dumb to realize it.

Thanks Obamatrons!

Oh, the horrors of Bush - you folks have to be the dumbest sheeple on the planet.

First, your only excuses for the Obama failures are Bush. Second, you try to put words into other peoples mouths. that have never been there or spoken.

You sheeple make nothing but assumptions and fail continuously to provide legit rational or excuses for the current debacle know as the Chicago Machine White House - oh, it's Bush's fault!

Why aren't you blaming Lincoln or Taft, maybe Cleveland or Jackson?

One day, even you will see just how ignorant your blaming of everyone but the current perpetrator of doom is so juvenile. talk about heads up the rear? you folks should smell yourselves.

Springfield -- examples, please? Words in people's mouths that have never been there? Here you go:

http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2001/02/24/national/main274334.shtml

"A surplus in tax revenue, after all, means that taxpayers have been overcharged," the president said. "And usually when you've been overcharged, you expect to get something back."

For any politician it's better not to give firm dates or deadlines, and not to give specific numbers regarding statistics for anything (unemployment). I think Obama seems to want to be more direct and accoutable in giving answers to issues, however, I wouldn't fault him if his answers or statements were a bit more general. Presidents and the Queen of England are allowed to do this. Why give the opposition any ammunition? The saying, don't paint yourself in a corner comes to mind.

Speaking of continuing economic troubles at home, the president said: "I think it is important, though, to recognize that if we keep on adding to the debt, even in the midst of this recovery, that at some point, people could lose confidence in the US economy in a way that could actually lead to a double-dip recession...''

Mustapha says this sort of stuff from time to time, when the mood and venue suits him, but then he just keeps pushing the socialist agenda that keeps the Runaway Train to Hell racing down the track. Where, democrats, tell me, where do you go, what do you drink, what do you do, to remain this gullible. How long can you passionately support this? Even the Swamp has told us that the job creation numbers are wrought with fraud.

This is getting to be like the Russian Tractor factory during the lamentable Brezhnev Communist era, pre-Ronald Reagan, of course. The Tractor factory was located in Siberia. When this state-of- the-art Russian factory FAILED to produce any tractors as scheduled, a PICTURE of a tractor was generated, xeroxed multiple times, presumably, and sent back to the fellas in the office, in Moscow. This scam went on for years. democrats, how can anyone live like this? As horror movies go, there have been better ones than this.

Milwdew and Sorry for your lack of intellgence,

The income tax cuts of 2003 led to the recession of Dec, 2007? Show proof.

Supply-side economics has led to three of the five largest economic expansions in American history.

Let's see how the debt clock is doing - we just cracked $12 Trillion. IN BO's 10 months in office, the national debt has gone up $1.3 Trillion. What President Bush did with gov't spending was bad, BO has put that on steriods.

Knee jerk John....of course nothing seems better than the false economy, based on credit from inflated home values with the consent of banks and wall street to make you feel better. Yes if we could only return to the days when we could get a credit line for our new cars and plasma tv's while wall street bundled our homevalues and sold the American home owner out of 3 trillion in value. Don't worry that deregulation was the cause of that, just miss the good ol' days. Ignorance is bliss!

At some point, the free-flow "moderates" may have to realize what those of us on the Right see so clearly. The Washington-speak of this guy is one thing but he consistently follows a Marxist / Socialist agenda that only insures a continuing economic disaster.
