This President is INCOMPENTENT and a FAILURE. MIA for the last two years, except for his lame Golf game or whimpy Baseball throw. The DEMs never passed a Budget in Oct. 2010. Now, the adults are trying to FIX the DEMs mess. Wake-Up, 2012 can't come soon enough!

@OMIEntertainment no, they DID ram the healthcare bill through. The opposition was not allowed to "come to the table". The negotiations were done in back rooms behind closed doors and republicans were not invited. That's fine, he'll pay for it in 2012. But if you believe that republicans got to put any ideas out there, why were they not taken THEN but are being taken NOW? Why 1100 waivers? I didn't get a waiver, did you? I guess I don't employ enough people...

@onstageagain LOL isn't he technically still anonymous? Is he Barrack Obama? Or is he Barry Sotero? It seems that I hear from him all the time but he never really says anything. He says "FORE!" a lot... and "I'm sorry for our arrogance and exceptionalism" a lot... "let me be clear" is a favorite. Oh and I LOVE "I've always said....." when you can go back moments earlier and find his always to be entirely different (which usually includes the words "always said" as well) Can't stand him.

@TheJoozie More smoke and mirrors! The president has said that he misses being anonymous. Now that's something we both can agree on; I too wish I had never heard of him!

@OMIEntertainment I would be just as thrilled with the budget proposal if it had come from barney frank. The problem is that when you KEEP people dependent, you're buying their votes. Get the govt out of the damned way and let people earn a living already! Those that CHOOSE not to (and believe me, there are PLENTY of them) can be uncomfortable in their poverty. I've never seen such grand "poverty" anywhere else in the world and I've been ALLLLLLL OVER.

@OMIEntertainment I've read Paul Ryan's budget. I've got it saved to my desk top, it's only 73 pages long. Piece of cake and makes PERFECT sense. And it's NOTHING like you'll hear people saying... no one is gonna have to eat cat food. The only reason things will continue to get worse is if we ignore it and allow the population to say "not me!" I'm willing to give up "entitlements" because I don't feel that I'm "ENTITLED" to anything except for what I earn on my own.

@OMIEntertainment and I don't really CARE if a large business cares about us. The only thing I care about is that our tax system creates an environment where they don't want to/it isn't as profitable for them to employ china or india. The conversation is always "stop giving tax breaks to companies that ship jobs overseas". Okay... they'll leave in BIGGER droves! Look up how many people G.E. employs in other countries and then ask yourself why they didn't pay taxes and Immelt is jobs czar.

@OMIEntertainment The congresswoman that was shot (and the ones that were killed) was shot (and killed) by an admitted communist. I loved how they jumped all over it like it was going to be some right wing gun toting nut job and it wasn't... but that didn't stop the accusations that rhetoric is dangerous. Then you have democrats IN OFFICE saying "sometimes you have to get bloody". WTF does that mean? And why aren't people all over that a-hole like white on rice?
