I just enjoy watching people make fools of themselves by spouting off and not defending their own words. I'm a ****, I know. I know it's useless, but the more she dodges the question, the more enjoyment I get out of it. So typical of a blind follower.

I don't blindly follow anyone, which shows how much you know of me which is nothing.

I answered the question. I found nothing wrong with the answer he gave. Congress has yet to finish their suggestions to the budget and he is going to stand for the working people as he said he was.

It is funny that you assume to have me on the run and have yet to even get me walking fast....lol


then why is it ok for him to fail to support his #1 campaign promise just 2 months after being elected?


He didn't.


Then there is no winning with you if you will not admit what is right there in front of you.

He never said what you are trying to put in his mouth, so there is nothing in front of my face to see.

Obama said, "When it comes to the middle-class tax cut, we already had that in the recovery. We know that that’s going to be in place for at least the next two years. We had identified a specific way to pay for it. If Congress has better ideas in terms of how to pay for it, then we’re happy to listen."

The question from the reporter was if he'd sign a budget that those tax cuts were not in. He did not say no. If he signs a budget that allows the taxes to rise from the stimulus bill cuts, he has broken his tax cut promise.

Sure he gave them - for a little while. He also said that he'd never raise taxes on anyone making less than $250,000 many times in the campaign. If taxes are cut and then go back up, what is that? Last time I checked, that's raising taxes.

I find it is funny that a man who thinks about his answers before he speaks instead of speaking the practiced rhetoric is considered ingenuine at some level. well I can see we are dealing with a bush fan..(that would be goerge).. sure hope your happy with the way geogre spoke in public. look back...does not look like he spoke well or did anything to stop the mess we are in.

I guess we are so used to the smooth easiness of false rhetoric that we can't appreciate a real thought spoken in earnest, huh?


I think we humans can some times be so suspicious of someone we don't particularly like we can't recognize when someone is being genuine. It's often not easy to let go of that to allow ourselves to hear.


I agree.




It's not thinking about the answer though - it's thinking about the wording. Any topic that he gives a real answer to is normally quick. When he does his stumbling "uh, uh" thing, the answer that follows normally is not direct and it is very thought out as to not tie himself down to anything of controversy.


That is not what I see. Usually a coverup is well planned out and the answers are robotic.


I never said coverup - I said tying himself down. Case in point: my thread. He went on and on about the 95% tax cut all through the campaign. He went on about it as the stimulus was written. Now, when confronted in a media conference whether or not he'll sign the budget if it lacks the cornerstone of his economic policy, he stumbles and goes on about the other items in the budget he pushed for, effectively dodging the question. The reporter calls him on it and he stumbles again.

he's a great public speaker so long as his tele is with him or it's his robotic talking points. once he's on the spot, he loses all composure and stumbles just as bad as bush.


That is not true. I have watched for the deception and it is not there. Now Bush had all his stuff planned and robotic. He messed up a few times and they fixed him real quick because he was going to be in jail if he talked on his own.


so you think the fact he never answered the actual question being completely open and honest? There's no deception in the fact that he is leaving a loophole for his own tax cuts that he campaigned on for 20 months to be repealed? Ironically, I'm sure the other things he listed in his "answer" are likely the reason he cannot keep the tax cuts. Can't have your cake and eat it too.


He answered the best he could. Not all answers are going to make everyone happy.


you didn't answer the question. Is it right for him to campaign for so long on these tax breaks and when asked if he'd sign a bill that did not include them (twice) not answer no? one word is all i need unless you say yes... then I'd like a logical reason.


I was satisfied with his answers. He is going to do just fine.


you still didn't answer it.


Yes I did.


you stated that you were satisfied with his answer, not whether it is right or wrong. am i to assume that you are ok with him going back on his economic cornerstone? if so, why is it ok?


When did he say he was going back on it?


allow me to re-word that he would not stand 100% behind his economic cornerstone.
