Obama Talks Policy, From Pakistan to Tax Plan

“President Obama indicated that the U.S. will consult with the Pakistani government before going after terrorist safe havens in Pakistan..”
It surprises me that Obama has not actually put in place a plan or have an agreement in place with the Pakistani government, before announcing his “plan”.

put a little red nose on Obama and dye his hair red and what you got? … A socialist clown

I’m surprised there wasn’t anything here about the GOP ‘underpants gnomes’ economic plan.

Obama has yet to keep one of his so call promises. Not one!!
He is taking Bush’s plan (already in place) renaming it, have his staff go over it, make a few changes and say now its his plan!!!
This guy is a joke, he cannot lead, he can talk alot of how great he is, but so far no action except more debt, and people scream at Bush, Obama is going to make Bush’s budget look like childs play.

Earth to Obama:
YOUR war and YOUR economy.
Put on your big-girl panties, Obama, and take responsibility.

party of clown: Guess you would know …

To solve the border crisis we must stop our drug use. Say no to drugs America!
On the foreign policy stuff: Wow should of listened to Ron Paul. The cost of every one of those missiles we drop could pay for a family for life. The total cost of the wars could of built all sorts of skyscrapers.

The Bamster is going to crack. Just watch. It’ll happen.

About his online townhall get together, Obama said he likes to engage his critics.
The online questions he chose were all from his supporters, some who worked for the DNC or on his campaign.
Barry’s mask slips alittle every single day. No class-No clue-No credibility.

HOpesprings 52, Thanks for the post. I needed a good laugh today. So, they forgot to hand out specific talking points before they sent you guys out to post today?

“I hope we can get rid of this black Jimmy Carter before he does too much damage to our country.”
He’s barely “black”, and NOTHING like Jimmy Carter. He’s more like Bush, right down to the phony accent … Bush’s Midland mush-mouth, Der CHANGEling’s stopping Himself in mid-sentence to pronounce “ee” sounds as “ih”.
Nothing Obama’s doing is NOT reminiscent of Bush. Baited and switched again. Hmm.

“I think it’s America’s war,” Obama answered, “and it’s the same war that we initiated after 9/11 as a consequence of those attacks on 3,000 Americans who were just going about their daily round.
What an absolute crock. And to facilitate His “war president” progression, Der CHANGEling’s even caved on dont-ask-dont-tell … and gays WERE the only group of former supporters He hadn’t sold out yet.

He’s not the first black president.
He’s the first biracial president.
But somehow I don’t think he would have won if he had called himself biracial.
That just doesn’t sound as cool, Hollywood, or historic.
And Barry is all about being a cool celebrity.

The president is going the wrong way. Our wars are because other nations do not want our ways. If we change our ways to being decent, modest, honest,and God loving (as we say we are), the radical enemies will talk about their errors of excess.
Our economic ways are oppressive. This toxic assets plan to stimulate the economy does not help the multitudes with the toxic assets. Geithner was raised and taught about the same system that brought on the toxic assets; he knows no other way. Good intentions of wanting more people to be able to purchase homes created this mess. Now he wants to put those toxic assets on the backs of the taxpayers so he can give the banks more money to repeat the same system. We are going the wrong way.
His plan as outlined on Sunday, March 29, 2009 news programs has investors gambling five (5) million dollars; the Feds also gambling five (5) million dollars, and the FDIC (Federal Deposit Insurance Corp) putting up sixty(60) million dollars to purchase $100,000 face value mortgages discounted to a cost of $70,000. The toxic assets are still overpriced homes in the hands of people unable to pay the mortgage. If the houses that were mortgaged for $100,000 are now only worth $70,000, no buyer or bank will buy or refinance that mortgage at $100,000. The mortgage will default; will be foreclosed and be unlikely to sell. There is no telling what happens to that house before resale. All involved will be losers, the “owner”, the bank, the investor, government and taxpayers.
There are better ways; God has the best way, but until we are willing to call upon Him and trust Him, we will talk about our financial system changes. Our system adds at least $462 a month to the cost of a $100,000 mortgage (assuming a steady 5% interest and ½ % Fannie Mae insurance charge.) God warned against debt, interest, insurance, gambling, seeking riches, honor and pride in all holy books. The banks or investor can erase the interest charges; instead charge a small monthly handling fee. That decreases the cost of the house for the owner by $462 a month ($5,500 a year), making more people able to continue in their homes. (Note: a $200,000 mortgage saves $924 a month and $11,000 a year.) There is now great incentive to stay in the home if possible; if it is not possible, the opportunity for someone else to come in and buy the house is better. The value of the house increases and an investor or bank without government intervention taking some of the profit has a better investment and is not under God’s condemnation for oppressing the poor. This plan of eliminating interest is good for automoble purchases, credit card purchases and commercial purchases. (God has an even better plan when we want to turn from our ways to His ways.)

Hopesprings52…it is this support and positive thinking that will enhance all the Obama is doing. I believe he has communicated with the American people more in the last two months than old bubble brain bush did in 8 years.

well this is the first time doing this but i could not stay quit any more all that has gone on is just getting wose if you bring those people from that jail in to the U.S. that my husbun is a vet from vet-nam an we had to fight for every thing we go just as thay are now he has 6 puplt heart a bronze star an the solder metal but you know what it got him nothing anhe has PTSD an he is still fighting the wor every night he will not even put them on the wall an to let you bring people in here an give them every thing the we had to work so heard for it is just like back in the days when thay let the vet nam people an gave them a busness for a dollar
all the things you have sead have not been true but that is the way it is with your party in there diane from colorado

Obama just won’t accept the responsibility for fighting a war.
So it’s gone from Bush’s war to America’s war.
The man has no guts.
And you can bet our enemies know that.
Must be hard for Obama to admit that his charm just isn’t enough in Afghanistan–that only works on the suckers in America.

Last Friday Obama asked Congress to pass a bill that will TRIPLE “aid” to Pakistan to $1.5 billion dollars a year for five years. Obama also appointed Martin Feldstein to The Task Force on Tax Reform.
Mr. Feldstein is on the Board of Directors
at AIG. The Board that gave AIG bonuses.
OUTRAGEOUS !!!!

Wow, you can really tell that the Obama hating faction doesn’t have to work weekends…

what a bunch of phoney baloney…this idiot thinks giving more taxpayers money to the automakers so they can build cars that are too expensive for us to buy is the answer???? reminds me of the bank bailout…we had to give them more money so they can extend us credit….also bailed out Wall Street so they can continue to sell off their stocks at our expense…why not cut out the middle men (and the government)and just give money directly to the taxpayers…it is our money to begin with!!!Obama is a slick talking con artist criminal….he may be the worst president in the history of our country!!!!

President Obama has raised the bar of the office to a new high. He communicates by listening as well as speaking, and what he says makes sense, even if I don’t always agree. I feel sorry for you people who post such hateful garbage about him and try to turn others against him too. I am so glad you are the radical fringe and not the mainstream.

Re: “President Obama has raised the bar of the office to a new high.”
No, he hasn’t. He’s like Reagan reading everything off a teleprompter. I can see using one for a speech, but not for a press conference or a town hall. That’s what his hero Reagan used to do.
When I hear Obama, I fell that he is saying what he has been told to say. It’s his job to sell the American people more wars and more bailouts.

From the nation’s most accurate pollster:
“Fifty-eight percent (58%) of voters now think politics in Washington, D.C. will be more partisan over the next year rather than more cooperative. That’s up from 49% a month ago, 40% two months ago, and 34% in early January.
“The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey found that just 26% expect things to be more cooperative. That’s down from 48% in early January.
“Half of U.S. voters (50%) now believe President Barack Obama is governing as a partisan Democrat. That’s up seven points from a month ago and eleven points from two months ago.”

Concerned, its touching you carry a torch for a CEO who oversaw a 98% drop in the value of his company’s shares, killed its electric car and refused to put resources into developing hybrids.
Maybe his resignation is a result of the fact that he’s a screw up.

Personally, I am glad the president uses a teleprompter if that is what helps him to communicate effectively. He is also articulate when speaking off the cuff, but if he says one unscripted thing, all the Obama bashers are all over his back like a bunch of blood sucking leeches. I don’t blame him for wanting to stay on message and insulate himself from those attacks.
I think it is amusing to hear Republicans, the champions of the unregulated CEOs who basically raped their own companies into oblivion, calling Obama a “liberal fascist” for not wanting to carry forward the same pro-CEO philosophy. I think he will go down in history as a moderate and a very great president.

If that is what the right wing has against him, the use of the teleprompter, you are really reaching. If you think he doesn’t know the issues, I think you are very much mistaken. He is obviously a quick study and has a sharp insight into what is happening on dozens of fronts. What he doesn’t like to do is come off as hemming and hawing or trying too hard to think on his feet. therefore, he prepares his remarks and uses the teleprompter. since he generally makes several public appearances each day, I don’t fault him for that. If you can’t stand him and want someone else, I guess you’ll just have to vote for someone else in the next election. The bottom line is, you will hate whoever our guy is, we will hate whoever your guy is, and it doesn’t matter how good or bad a leader they turn out to be. It just goes on and on to the point that there is really no point in posting or reading these posts. Everyone has their mind completely made up, or else they are professional trolls, just trying to keep the pot stirred. It is probably not the highest and best use of anyone’s time.

Concerned, it is a breath of fresh air, after eight years of private business controlling government.

So now the GM’s success or failure is President Obama’s success or failure.
That works.
Anyone planning on buying a new American car?

This IS Obama’s war. It is not America’s war, because that implies we all support it or are required to support it. I know a lot about Afghanistan personally, and Obama has made a huge blunder, and one that has moral ramifications.
President Obama, this is YOUR war.

PeterM:”This IS Obama’s war. It is not America’s war”
Afghanistan harbored and supported a paramilitary group that directly perpetrated the worse attack on American soil since Pearl Harbor. Afghanistan IS America’s war, it is a justified war, and it is important. There is certainly A LOT of room to critique strategy, but it is foolish or naive to think this is not America’s war.

phoenix lady: “I never hear republicans granting any ground or credit to the other side however.”
I agree, but I think this will change in the next 4 years. If they follow typical political cycles, after 2010 the Republicans will come back into the mainstream and be useful again. The Southern Strategy, from Nixon to Rove, is dead.

Re: “If that is what the right wing has against him, the use of the teleprompter, you are really reaching. If you think he doesn’t know the issues, I think you are very much mistaken.”
I’m a liberal Democrat. Secondly, you are comparing him to Bush, and compared to Bush, yes, Obama looks good. Anyone would. But I am old enough to remember Presidents who could speak without the teleprompter, and I see the difference.
Obama has never spoken about public policy in-depth without the teleprompter and without commercial breaks. I would like to see him do one hour on Charlie Rose without knowing the questions ahead of time and without his teleprompter.
Yeah right!

Obama’s war?
To authorize the use of United States Armed Forces against those
responsible for the recent attacks launched against the United
States. <>
This is what authorized the war in Afghanistan. We have been wafing that war ever sense.
Did Obama take command of the war? You bet he did, as he should. Cheney/Bush on the other hand left it hang out there to dry, turning it over to NATO, SUBMITTING OUR FORCES to foreign command.

Whats good for GM is obviously not whats good for America.
If Adam Smith were to discuss corporations and tax policy on this board, he would be denounced as a socialist.

How can it be that, on Mr. Obama’s watch, North Korea announces its intention to launch an ICBM prototype and the Secretary of Defense announces that we are unprepared to stop it?
This man is obviously unsuited for the job of Commander-in-Chief. He is in way over his head, and the consequences will be quite dire.

..right wing ideologues and Wall Street stooges.”
That was redundant, wasn’t it?

Sluggo:
Since you’re a regular “SOCIALIST” shouter here, please define it in a way that makes sense with regard to Obama.
Cuz I don’t get it.

Facist Hyena:”How can it be that, on Mr. Obama’s watch, North Korea announces its intention to launch an ICBM prototype and the Secretary of Defense announces that we are unprepared to stop it?”
The previous administration couldn’t even keep that dictatorship from getting a nuclear bomb. I don’t see a problem with Obama not stooping to play North Korea’s whose-spittle-flies-the-furthest nonsense. Perhaps speak softly and carry a big stick will work better than Bush’s shout “Bring it on!” and then swagger off to the ranch to clear brush while the nuke test is done.

“Completely and utterly false. Adam Smith believed that individuals acting in their own self-interest would benefit the common good. He believed a person maximizing his own revenues in turn maximized the revenues of his community. He called that the “invisible hand”.”
Why is it right wingers always have the cliff notes version (at best) of various theories as passed along by right wing media?

Al-Qaeda, China, Russia, or north Korea would be completely mistaken to test this president and the American people resolve, with any of their aggression, I’ll admit, we are at this moment pointing fingers at each other because of our economic condition, but that is how our forbearers form our democracy with checks and balances because we value our principles, Dwight D .Eisenhower put it this way (A people that values its privileges above it’s principles soon loses both. You see one of our principles is that we value our freedom, we realizes that it is a privilege that has been paid for with a heavy price, and for that reason any aggressive threats to take away or undermine our freedoms in one accord both democrats, independent and republicans a like, than our finger pointing becomes a fist against thee aggressors.

Sunlen,
Why do you quote him as saying “wanna” instead of “want to”? Are you mocking him? I would mock him for his autocratic idiocy and incompetence, but not his diction, and I find your tactic a bit discomfiting. It’s almost as if you’re intentionally editorializing by pretending to quote him “accurately.” That is unprofessional, you know. Stop it. He looks bad without your help, and you look bad, too.
