I got out ot the Bay Area and have moved to down town Los Angeles I'm so scared. I just hope I can work up the nerve to go back home at the end of the week. I had a better chair to sit on there.

Oh and I have already called for Obama to be inpeached a couple of weeks ago when I realized the right was becomming completely unglued. Better he go, I think, than we lose half the nation to hari kari.

Hang on, Socio, I'll save you.

But this year, Obama voted against cutting $23 billion in federal programs rated ineffective by the Office of Management and Budget.

Now anyone listen to the part Obama?s budget speech where he is going to great lengths to cut out wasteful spending and going to go page by page in his budget?

PRESIDENT OBAMA DELIVERS REMARKS ON HIS F.Y. 2010 BUDGET REQUEST

And that's why on Monday I held a fiscal summit to come up with a plan to put us on a more sustainable path. And that is why, as we develop a full budget that will come out this spring, we're going to go through our books, page by page, line by line, to eliminate waste and inefficiency.

This is a process that will take some time, but in the last 30 days alone we have already identified $2 trillion in deficit reductions that will help us cut our deficit in half by the end of my first term.

For example, Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack is saving nearly $20 million with reforms to modernize programs and streamline bureaucracy.

Interior Secretary Salazar will save nearly $200 million by stopping wasteful payments to clean up abandoned coal mines that just happen to have already been cleaned up.


Education Secretary Duncan is set to save tens of millions of dollars more by cutting an ineffective mentoring program for students, a program whose mission is being carried out by a hundred other programs in 13 other agencies.

We've targeted almost $50 billion in savings by cracking down on overpayments of benefits and tax loopholes. That is money going to businesses and people to which they are simply not entitled.

This is just the beginning of the cuts we're going to make. No part of my budget will be free from scrutiny or untouched by reform

I can believe that man has the unmitigated gall so say that after he signed off on a stimulus bill loaded with more unnecessary spending than any other bill in history. Then has the nerve to submit a budget in which there are some 9,000 pet projects loaded in to it and at least one is his! (Oh and since he got caught they are going to edit his name out and attribute it to someone else.)

Hell, we did not need over half of that stimulus package, nor do we need most of that gargantuan budget particularly with our current economic crisis. Any kind of responsible leader of a nation in the situation we are in would be doing everything humanly possible to cut spending to a bare minimum; he is doing the exact opposite.

He is obviously not in it for the people or the country he is really just a smooth talking two faced lobbyist ***** like Biden, Pelosi, Reid, and the rest! He with the help of the democrat controlled congress are raping America?s future and selling the proceeds to the highest bidder.


I think he needs to be impeached because of this, am I wrong?

Your an idoit!! Goofy too!! Sheese the dudes been in office a month....and your kind who are sore losers are calling for his impeachment...hahahaaa

Hmm, makes me think of Obama's people not paying taxes when I heard this.

but otherwise, in my eyes he is doing a horrible job, but not where he needs to be impeached. He may still be able to turn this around, although I highly dislike his porkulous. I would have preferred more funds to Nasa and Railroads but I am a lowly tax paying peasant to him with no say.

There's a difference between not paying taxes and "Heckuva job Brownie."

Ya I know, it was just a wandering thought when I saw it. Now that I think of it more they are in two different categories.

Anyways, hopefully Obama can do some stuff right in the near future that would help this nation out.

I never had that option, or I would have chosen the highway long ago. At least, the highway couldn't have committed treason, murder, torture, war crimes, crimes against humanity or war profiteering.

Isn't it great we also get to pay his salary till he dies. :|

I'd be more than glad to have the taxpayers cover his room, board and clothing for the rest of his life, as long as it's at a vacation spa like the beautiful downtown Guantanamo Hilton. I hope he likes striped pajamas.

People really wanted to believe his BS...I admit I bought it a few years ago with the MA gov Free em all Deval and have regretted that ever since.

I am figuring that the Obama admin will run debt up the wazoo and try to futher their liberal social agenda to the point where it really cripples the lower middle class from a tax standpoint, at that point the dems will once again be unelectable and the cycle continues....hopefully that comes in a fast four years.

I fear that the damage won't be able to be undone. The amount of deficit spending is unpresidented. Under bush it was 2-4% of GDP, under obama this year deficit spending will be 12.8% of GDP (assuming no more spending--like that will happen). He "inherited" a $1T deficit (FROM THE DEMOCRATIC HOUSE AND SENATE--they have been in power since 2006) and turned it into a $1.79T deficit after 1 month, I'd hate to see what the true deficit will be this year.

It was inexcusable for Bush to have deficits; however, obama is making bush look like a fiscal conservative and a penny pincher.

I'm not spending, not because of the economy, but because I fear the inflation we will see will be devastating. I predict double digit inflation will begin in late 2010 (if not sooner); assuming we are out of the recession by then. As someone that knows that gold is still only 1/2 it's historical high, when inflation is factored in, and someone that can't stomach the gold commericals, I am seriously looking into gold to preserve my spending power. I probably won't do it but I'm still considering it.

Keep it under consideration but don't buy into it just yet. All of the paranoid and market-collapse worriers are doing that and the cost is simply over-inflated.

I've seen so many saying buy, but considering Gold is at it's all-time high for the year, now is the best time to sell, imo. Back in Nov '08 1oz bullion would cost you ~$750, you're looking at just over ~$1,000 now.

Seriously.

The Dems had power for 2 years and you think they created this fiscal mess?

When in power, Republicans have cut taxes and raised spending. If you doubt this, or deny it, you have no business sharing your thoughts on whos responsible for deficits.

Also, no President has faced this challenge AFAIK. 2 wars and a major recession?

I suggest you get all the way out of the country. Even the Earth.

But I'll agree to the removal of Obama - I like the idea of a very angry President Biden.

I can hear in the background of this thread a dirge being played by those mourning the demise of the GOP and their six year run of completely owning the government and their last two years of well orchestrated sour grape laden obstructionism that hobbled anything the Dems have tried to legislate into law to fix what Bush and the GOP he led FUBAR'ED into the nightmare we now are experiencing.

Here we have those very ones that have been proponents of an Ideology that has had eight years to prove beyond doubt what an abject failure that Ideology has proven to be, yet the mindless drone goes on and on and on about how only that same failed Ideology will save our Nation from the complete and horrific present day mess this very same Ideology brought upon us.

Yes, by all means let them keep flogging that putrid stinking carcass of a horse while the rest of us can move on and try to fix the mother of all train wrecks caused by that Ideology-blinded horse that led us down this merry path to ruin.

Lies, deceit and manipulation are not impeachable offenses unless you're under oath. That's called politics.

Are you kidding me?

He is spending circles around Bush and most of what Bush spent is on his hands and the hands of the democrat congress too and these same people are now doing far worse.

The magnitude of irresponsibility he is showing by trying to force a massive healthcare package that will cost well more than a half a trillion dollars at a time when this country is on the verge of economical collapse is unbelievably egregious.

At a time when he should be forcing people off the government tit he is augmenting welfare to allow more on and on easier, forking out unprecedented amount of money in useless bail outs, thus rewarding our countries failures hand over fist while punishing the winners.

The direction he is taking us in we will not survive, he is adding weight to our already dragging anchor as fast as he can.

The only way this country is going to endure is with him and his cronies removed from office and a sink or swim, survival of the fittest type of reform put in place.

Either way the massive dead weight in this country is a goner, we just have to decide if we all go down with them like Obama is laying the ground work or we cut them loose and swim.

Dood,

shutup already. YOUR president broke the world, and now we have to pay through the nose to fix it. Simple as that... Bush was the cancer and now you are mad at Obama for perscribing the chemotherapy. - the alternative is death, should he just let us die, and fall into depression?
