Yea, he has more important things to do, like the “tweeting” he just promised to do himself!!!

Rep. Clyburn: Obama Has ‘Much More To Do With His Time” Than To Handle Debt Talks

A Quotable Quote if I ever heard one!

Like tweet for example.

“Rep. Clyburn: Obama Has ‘Much More To Do With His Time” Than To Handle Debt Talks”

like G-O-L-F !!!!!!!!!!

This topic also begs the question:

Does Obama have the Fire-InThe-Belly ANY MORE!
– and you all know there’s something to that!

Not only his half-humored comments about avoiding aggravation for the next four years, but his governance and deportment seems aimless of late; think John McCain wandering the stage during the debate.
lol

Obama’s Eye-of-the-Tiger image seems more resigned to be the Fat-Cat Retire!
…which IS FINE, don’t get me wrong!! LOL!

Alright, the Democrat interpreter has arrived. Are we having problems communicating with the socialist…erm Democrat?

Remember with interpretation of most Democrats, you have to realize that what they say is usually 180 to what they mean.

So, compromise actually means that those EVIL Republicans will not allow us to spend another $1.65 Trillion more than we take in and ALSO, those EVIL Republicans will not allow us to raise taxes!!!!!!!

It took me quite a few years to be able to understand and interpret socialists…..erm Democrats. Be very careful, you can hurt yourself trying to understand them. They are by the way sociopaths for the most part.

We have a Vice President? Funny, the media never, ever talks about him. I wonder why that is?

He’s in a storage facility with duct tape fastened securely to his mouth.

“Cavuto pointed out Obama is finding some time to fundraise for his campaign. Clyburn instead then focused on the fact that cuts to Medicare will simply not be exchanged for more tax breaks for the wealthy. And without a compromise in sight, Cavuto predicted more trouble ahead for the economy.”

Wow that’s a surprise. This is the guy who was blaming the 2008 stock market crash and financial meltdown, while it was happening, on the President elect. Basically Neil is sold on the republican strategy to keep the economy as bad as possible for the next two years, then blame Obama. And of course, notwithstanding that silly headline, the President does not sit in on talks that one side has intentionally stalled. That would be a waste of time.

I can’t even tell the difference between this site and The Blaze anymore…

Remember the same folks that voted for Alvin Greene voted for Clyburn … nuff’ said

That’s kinda like how Madcow was complaining about having more important things to cover then the Weiner scandal, and the next night she’s playing the bongos and making an ass out of herself.

Isn’t it upsetting when the dutiful media refuses to bury the unhelpful Democrat gaffes? It hurts down deep, doesn’t it?

The next thing you know, Mediaite is going to report that the economy isn’t getting better, and in fact it’s getting worse. Their audacity is breathtaking.

Yep, you know what happens to commenters on that site that deviate from the echoes? Banned or the other commenters flag ban them. That is what Drink Progressive Koolaid does. They just flag anyone that comments they do not like.

That is the liberal norm, they do not want compromise, they want everyone that does not lock step to the thinking to shut up and get in the trunk.

Her devotees are not aware of the hypocrisy however, so it doesn’t matter to her. Tomorrow night I expect her to jump around on a pogo stick while firing a b.b. gun at an effigy of Palin or some other evil Repub. Then later she’ll bring her eyebrows together and they’ll meet in a peak and with an earnest look she’ll lament about something or other in her inimitable pipe organ voice.

You trying to change the subject of the article? Is that what you are doing? Did you learn that from Howard Dean or something?

In Mediaites defense, they are doing all they can. They only hire raging liberals and do their best to delete comments they deem too conservative. If that doesn’t work, they ban us, but we’re sneaky, we find a way back in!

Matt, this is a disingenuous, unnecessary slam on the President.

Name one republican in congress or presidential candidate who is not raising campaign funds right now. Mediate has zero credibility regarding “media” and is nothing more than just another right-wing muckraker.

Since all ideologies can post here and the majority of posts are not leftwing–that’s in keeping with the general population of the U.S. Gallup’s most recent poll shows that those who identify as liberal are in the minority. Sorry. If you want to avoid reading posts that deviate from your belief system, you’ll have to seek out a partisan website.

This website is about the media. I don’t know why you think it isn’t. Because it allows all voices to post that means its articles aren’t about the media? You’re not making sense.

You have to forgive Possibly. He thinks “media stories” means stories that bash Repubs only. Thus his confusion. If there is a media story that paints a Dem in a less than flattering light, well, then that is NOT a media story. According to his logic, the Weiner scandal was not a media story. Mediaite should not have reported on it.

(Reuters) — U.S. state and local governments will need to raise taxes by $1,398 per household every year for the next 30 years if they are to fully fund their pension systems, a study released on Wednesday said.

“First time I saw 10th Mountain Division, you guys were in southern Iraq. When I went back to visit Afghanistan, you guys were the first ones there. I had the great honor of seeing some of you because a comrade of yours, Jared Monti, was the first person who I was able to award the Medal of Honor to who actually came back and wasn’t receiving it posthumously.”

Jared Monti was killed in Afghanistan on June 21, 2006. He was awarded the Medal of Honor posthumously, September 17, 2009.

When contacted about the gaffe by CBN reporter Dana Ritter, White House Press Secretary Jay Carney said, “At Fort Drum, the President misspoke when discussing the first Medal of Honor he presented posthumously to Jared Monti, who was a member of the 10th Mountain Division. The President paid tribute to Monti in his remarks to troops in Afghanistan in March 2010. Last year, the President presented the Medal of Honor to Salvatore Giunta, who was the first living recipient of the Medal who served in Afghanistan.”

You’re frothing at the mouth so don’t tell me you’re “cool” with that. Mediaite has one story that doesn’t quite rock your world (although it’s pretty nice to you guys as per usual) and you have gone ballistic demanding they cease and desist operating as a left wing media site. lol

Well jeepers you all must have really been mad at Bush – he took quite a bit more time away from the White House than President Obama and he lost the twin towers and Pentagon on his watch.

At least our country is improving on POTUS time in the White House.

there isn’t a “debt crisis”: large corporations and wealthy people are sitting on the money.

simply raise taxes, and yes, cut some spending, just not spending which benefits workers,
and watch the debt ease….

but, let’s please stop all this talk about the debt, especially given the fact that:

1) republicans caused it (always have)

2) republicans refuse to raise taxes

Is that how you justify all this?

If he has time to take family around the world on vacations and attend $35,000 per plate fund raisers, I would think he could spend some time running the government. I am sure the Democrats don’t see it that way. He hasn’t helped small businesses at all. He took over GM and they paid the loan back with stimulus money. They never spent it. Why doesn’t Obama try and help small businesses? Why did he have NLRB stop Boeing from building planes in South Carolina? He was too busy worrying about the world’s problems to worry about Americas problems.
Sounds like he need to stop campaigning long enough to find out what is going on in America.

Huffington Post and Washington Times get all of their information from the White House, they don’t need to do any research. I am sure that is what the sheep led by Obama want.

Please folks, can we just all cry now?

Let me explain it to you since it seems I have to explain it to ALL liberals. If you STOLE every dime that people who earn over $100, 000 this year, you would only get about $900 Billion. That is still $700 Billion short. What are you going to do for the other rest? Steal everything from those that earn under 100k?

You people do not get it! It is NOT a revenue thing, it is a SPENDING THING.

Have you not heard the latest news? They are going to have to steal an additional $1400 per family PER YEAR for the next 30 year to just get the public pensions in order. Oh well, maybe if you can get those unicorns and fairies to kick in!

Yes, that is what happens when you have a republican president and congress who believe in spending all the money around them and then run a “borrow and spend” policy for the next 6 years. Yes, you have a DOUBLED national debt and now you have to pay INTEREST ON THE BUSH DOUBLED NATIONAL DEBT>

DOesn’t that just make a tingle run down your leg? Makes you feel wanted to pay for all the money BUSH gave to all his rich friends,. GE not only didn’t have to pay taxes, but poor stupid people like you had to work to send them a REFUND from taxes YOU paid.

darladoon said:

You quote the liberal line very well, despite how old and tired it is. Those evil, horrible, monsterous corporations (that employ tens of millions of people) have the NERVE to hold on to their OWN MONEY! Damn them! Don’t they know they owe the government that money? The government needs more money to study worms, or build airports that nobody uses (except Democratic senators). GIMME GIMME GIMME!

Corporations are sitting on their money because they don’t like the uncertainty of this economy and the threat of growth killing regulations that might be imposed on them at any time. It’s no wonder they are hunkered down until the business climate looks better.

You have just described Obama and the Democrat ruled congress from the past 5 years…. you must have your parties confused or should I ask which is it?

Actually he does, and did, if you recall it became that circus called Obamacare.

“The fact that we are here today to debate raising America’s debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the U.S. Government can’t pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government’s reckless fiscal policies. … Increasing America’s debt weakens us domestically and internationally. Leadership means that ‘the buck stops here. Instead, Washington is shifting the burden of bad choices today onto the backs of our children and grandchildren. America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership. Americans deserve better.”

This idiot actually has a seat in Congress…no…really!

Yea, we see how much more the Idiot in Chief has to do, like play Golf, what, his 223rd round or more, or he does have his 2012 campaign that he has been working on constantly since 2009, and lets not forget all those vacations the Fool has to take.
