SO, JUST HOW BIG OF AN ASSHOLE IS OBAMA?
Apparently, I’d say, he’s a pretty big one. You see, a Wall Street Journal report detailing the broken-down status of talks between, he who has been described as being our "Lord and Savior," Barack Obama and House Speaker John Boehner on the year-end "fiscal cliff" reveals that Barry threatened to use both his inaugural and State of the Union speeches to do nothing more than to blame Republicans if there’s no deal. But his having made such a threat should really come as no surprise to anyone. After all, to Barry, this is how politics is supposed to work. Look at the disgustingly sleazy smear campaign he used against Romney based on what was an endless series of, what were nothing but Axelrod created, lies. Combined with voter fraud on a massive scale, and Barry was able to win, again.
Negotiations reportedly came to a standstill after Boehner proposed increasing the tax rate on top earners: "Mr. Obama repeatedly lost patience with the speaker as negotiations faltered. In an Oval Office meeting last week, he told Mr. Boehner that if the sides didn’t reach agreement, he would use his inaugural address and his State of the Union speech to tell the country the Republicans were at fault. At one point, according to notes taken by a participant, Mr. Boehner told the president, "I put $800 billion [in tax revenue] on the table. What do I get for that?" "You get nothing," the president said. "I get that for free.""
And according to Politico, Barry was referring to Rep. Tom Cole (R-Okla.) and Senate Republicans who had already said they would be open to tax rate increases and therefore he didn’t need to concede anything. Barry has been buoyed by his election victory, using it as an opportunity to remind Boehner he has the upper hand: "Mr. Obama insisted on raising tax rates for those with household income above $250,000. The House GOP wanted significant spending cuts and fundamental changes to Medicare and other entitlement programs in exchange for new tax revenue. The president repeatedly reminded Mr. Boehner of the election results: "You’re asking me to accept Mitt Romney’s tax plan. Why would I do that?""
Barry and family have since headed off to Hawaii for their $4 Million Christmas vacation for which we the taxpayers are supposed to gladly cover the cost. But before departing on Friday, he said he was still confident the two sides could reach a "comprehensive deal" after using the holidays as, what he called, a cooling-off period. Boehner used the weekly Republican address to say the House had done all it could to avert the cliff and that it was now down to Barry to come up with a "balanced" approach. But in order for him to do that, Barry would first need to possess an interest in doing so. And he doesn’t, it’s just that simple. Nothing will make him happier that to successfully steer us right over the cliff. After all, he has, repeatedly, made that quite clear.
