McCain and Krugman Assail Proposed Obama Spending Cut As Broken Promise

Well, given Obama’s repeated railing against spending freezes and mockery of John McCain for suggesting such an idea during the campaign in 2008 (both videos making their rounds online today), isn’t it a broken promise?

Yes, Obama you promised to spend our country into oblivion. Why do you care now? Krugman is a Keynesian nobel prize fool that believes government spending is the cure all. This may be true as long as foreign creditors run us a continuous line of credit or we inflate, but are these really a good idea considering our current debt burden. The future does look bleak. I hope Ron Paul runs again. McCain wants to bomb Muslims. This could result in another 911. Kill them, they kill us….

Obamas hidden agenda: going after your retirement portfolio….Anti-shareholder..
another way to go after the middle class

FY2007 Republican Congress $2.72 trillion
FY2008 Democratic Congress $2.98 trillion
FY2009 Democratic Congress $3.1 trillion
FY2010 Democratic Congress $3.6 trillion

Krugman has been totally incompetent on every theory he has ever had. He actually thinks that running up the credit card to amounts that cannot be paid back is a good thing. He is actively trying to destroy the economy of the US and cause the dollar to be worthless.

So he did like the Mcain idea just a little bit.

McCain is playing politics and trying to grab the spotlight just as he always does….He is nothing more than a grand-stander who has accomplished little of meaning in his time in the senate..

And the poor people of Arizona don’t even get the benefits of pork projects!
He’s not my favorite and he seems to reach across the aisle on the wrong issues and behind closed doors – like immigration – but he must have done some good. Perhaps some of the good things he’s done do not make the headlines?

Here’s something Krugman (but not McCain) might agree with —
David Brooks’ column in today’s NYT conflates current American populism as “punishing the elites” — whereas it’s really the same as colonial American populism in ‘exposing and confronting EMPIRE’ with democracy.
Here’s how Obama could win a second term, or four like FDR (if it were still legal) and be as popular as George Washington for winning the Revolution against the British Empire, if he has the guts to level with the American people (and coincidentally save our democracy):
Here’s the single, seminal, and underlying ‘cause’ of all these problematic ‘issues’ that Obama has to level with the American people about to restore his credibility, and coincidentally save our democracy: —- its not health care, nor the economy, nor the wars, nor the hundred other distractive symptomatic ‘identity issues’ that are ALL caused by the exact same hidden metastasizing tumor of cancer.
It begins with an ‘E’, but “its not the Economy stupid” —- it’s EMPIRE.
In his “State of the (democratic) Union’ he should forcefully point out that today we’re almost totally controlled by a previously well hidden corporatist EMPIRE — now made more visible by the supreme court’s treason of literally handing over our country to the Empire overtly.
While this problem can not be solved by any quick legislative or other means, that he will actually ‘lead’ and solve this (and all our other problems caused by Empire) and he will do it by moving to the Green (independent) Party (which does not accept corrupting corporate Empire money), and then Obama should challenge all those he is addressing in Congress, who have the guts to represent us (and the U.S.) to follow him and shun the hopelessly corrupted and ‘bought’ Dem/Rep single corporate Empire’s two-faced phony party.

Spending is a runaway train, and has to reined in.

Obama derided McCain for the idea of a spending freeze. Obama derided Hillary for a mandate on health insurance. Obama derided McCain for proposing a tax on insurance.
See a pattern?

Excuse me, but all Senator McCain is doing is reminding the American voters that were suckered by Obama’s mindless blabbering about whatever sounded good that he is an empty suit that will do anything when it’s popular.
Obama may be a good guy, a great dad, and a fantastic basketball player, but he is an awful leader. It’s no wonder that he’s never lead or accomplished anything and never wrote an actual article while being the first African American editor of the Harvard Law Review. He’s just not a leader folks. He’s a blank screen that Axelrod is projecting whatever message he thinks will sell. A leader does not have “pivots” and campaign themes once he is in office. He does not go on Oprah or the Tonight show. He shows respect and leads. He realizes he is a President and not an actor in a movie.

Election Day is barely nine months away. Can’t you just feel the excitement on the cuckoo left?

Where’s Krugman been? Haven’t we all been “changed” by all this “prosperity”?
But wait, there is hope. Earned income tax refunds are enroute and there is bound to be lots of new cell phones and flat screens sold the next month ot two.

He’s a mess. These liberals endorsed an unqualified candidate and now they’re shocked–shocked!–that he is incompetent.
Furthermore, he has no core values. He spent his youth playing both sides, not having a clear identity, and he’s still doing that now. He’s not a leader. He’s a follower.
Democrats should find somebody else to run in 2010.

I really hope that some poll is not pulling this racial divide and America’d divide out of the last President’s old jeans along with some old white lint in there. This WHITE person who voted “GWB” the only republican I ever voted for because he started dropping many bombs on the people who had me running for my life on Feb 26, 1993 as I stood in the cafeteria of “3 WORLD TRADE CENTER”, the Visita Intern’l Hotel nestled so snugly below the towers. Then the only republican I ever voted for dropped the ball bigtime. Sure, Saddam had a “price” ha, ha on his daddy’s head, so take off Hussiens head and then get back to business. I doubt any other president has made rich people in this country richer. Let’s let President Obama fix the mess that GWB left for him before we start taking him out of office. One of those messes….leaving the largest financial institutions and auto makers in ruin. GWB had two eyes and both of them were probably on the blind trust holding his pot of gold. Its totally bewildering that these companies needed such help without anybody realizing it. “Sure lets jam a 3/4 Trillion dollar bill through just before I leave office”, wont matter to me”, (“GWB”). I was going to school for accounting, damn glad I started working for a sound company and bartending at least everyone there was honest!!. I like Elisabeth on the View, she adds controversy. You gotta have someone on the side of the blind, and yeah, its absolutelly imperative that she be good looking or she would have been gone a long time ago. She absolutely does have some fashion sense cant argue with that. Wanna put some of that earning in the US Budget that YOUR presidents made worse than ever?!

Mc Cain can’t decide what hat to wear. One time he criticizes the president for not cutting spending…now he is cutting spending and Mc Cain at first says I am glad he decided to do this and then turns around later and criticizes. Someone must have gotten to him…you know it is not a good thing to be a free thinker in the republican party…you must speak the party line for if not…you are in TROUBLE. Thank God Colin Powell is a free thinker and they don’t like him either. I think everyone had to sign a pact to stick to the party rhetoric no matter what or else if you run, robo calls will be made telling voters not to vote for you like Palin did in N.Y.
