Obama press conference

The biggest lie of the night was his indication that without his spending on (say it with me), energy, healthcare and education; the economy would be in perpetual contraction. That's right, a perpetual recession without his massive spending. Wow!

I'm fairly certain that "The Rock" is a conservative. I'd love to see him throw Obama over a bridge and into a river....much like he did SCSA.

tax questions are not my strong point but I am pretty sure you can write off 80% of what you donate

I think the 80% rule applies only if you receive a "benefit" of some kind for making a donation. For example, if you donate to UT and receive the benefit of buying season tickets, you only claim 80% of the donation. Otherwise you can claim 100%.

If this is not correct I have filed grossly incorrect taxes for decades.

Did GWB ever complain about inheriting a massive problem with terrorism or constantly blaming Clinton for his handlings in the Middle East and Somalia? I don't remember hearing anything along those lines.

That isn't the question, the question is whether Obama is adopting the right policies and the answer is a resounding NO!

"We need not choose between a chaotic and unforgiving capitalism and an oppressive government-run economy. That is a false choice that will not serve our people or any people." --Barack Obama

So then you also agree that he is following the democrat mentality to assign the blame, then take personal responsibility in fixing the mess.

You were busting the man and generalizing the party for not taking personal responsibility. He's said plenty of times that fixing the country's problems is his responsibility. I'm willing to give him an opportunity to do so rather than condem based on a 60 day sample.

You're seriously calling him a bafoon(sic)? You really want to critique his platform skills?

And using your sports analogy, we should have never let Manning play after his first game. He was terrible in a bad situation.

I understand some people are going to be closed-minded and regardless of what happens over the next 4 years they will hate the POTUS. But to judge his administration and ability to solve problems is nothing but a premature assessment at this point.

If he's a failure when measured in four years then I hope we have a better option on the ticket.

A leader never looks to cast blame. That is the pure and simple boiled down truth. Doesn't matter if it's after 1 day, 1 week 1 month, 1 year, 1 decade or any other measure of time.


That is not what I want to hear from my (unfortunate) leadership. *mudslinging continues* *band plays on*

I understand what you are saying, but are you not extremely worried about what this country will become if he does turn into a failure? He is risking an awful lot with his budget that may take an awfully long time to recover from if he is a failure.

you know the old adage, first impression is always the lasting impression? well first impression of obama: hes packed his cabinet with very shady characters, hes already gone back on many of his campaign promised, like no earmark spending etc, his defense of his new budget is very limited, when asked long term he gets defensive and changes the subject,

There's not a president in either of our lifetimes that has not cast blame.

I was worried about what this country had become before he took office and what it will become regardless of budget issues.

Trillion dollar budgets are nothing more than funny money anyway.

Obama is doing it suffocatingly so. GWB, from what I can remember didn't constantly rehash on Clinton's inability to stifle the threat of terrorism or shut down Al Quaeda in the Middle East.

Did George Patton constantly complain about the terrible shape of American forces in North Africa especially after the disaster at Kasserine Pass? Or about how he had to go up against one of the more effective fighting units in the 20th Century that was led by a military genius? No. He identified the problems and addressed them. He fixed the current problem, not focused on it's past.


For all of Obama's rhetoric... it's clear now what is talk and what is fluff... if it wasn't obvious before he took the office. He broadcasted "Change" and "a different White House" so f$&#ing deliver that, Mr. Obama. We're all waiting.

Dub's blame was suffocating when it came to everything about Iraq. Rather than just say "I made the call", he blamed everyone and everything. He constantly threw the CIA, Blair, Powell, Valery Plame, and on, and on, under the bus for the WMD gaffe.
