POTUS: 'Everybody Just Step Back for a Moment'

[PoliCon]

I fully agree with that...but its congress who will make the decision, not the people. Protests will only do so much. I don't think it will come to fruition but i wouldn't be surprised to see him try.

how many of them do you think are willing to sacrifice themselves on his political alter?

Meaning the have costs built in that will be delayed until after he is out of office - assuming he gets a second term that way who ever comes after him will get the blame.

Obama will do a smoke and mirrors con on the American electorate and the media will bow at the alter. Obama says the deficit will be cut in half and here is how. This fiscal year which ends Sept 30 will be 1.8 trillion; next year it will be 1 trillion and in Sept of 2012, it will be 500 billion. This does not take into account the cap and trade or health care.

I would not put it past him and the Democ. Congress to try and pull a kingdom for O for a 3rd term. If the economy does not turn around, he can forget about a 2nd term.

Arlen Specter, Olympia Snowe, and Susan Collins did, along with the entire democratic party. Granted the parties' support is finally starting to waver but there are still enough that will probably do exactly what he wants without question. Not to mention the media will think its an absolutely wonderful idea.

I believe they will attempt to do anything they want. Now the great and stupid 0 is saying the first installment on our kids future was a stabilizing package, not a stimulus but a stabilizing package and the next one he conjures up will be the stimulus! They kill me Haha.
This butt hole will try anything he thinks he can get away with.
