The President is doing what he was reelected to do. Deal with it GOP. Had banks, the ultra rich, and corporations been paying taxes at the fair rate, not hiding assets by farming out to foreign sourcing then redirecting profits to shell banks offshore , even with George Bush’s trillions of spending, simply whoring for reelection, we would have a massive surplus.Closing all tax loopholes would solve our debt in 5 years, with a massive surplus in ten. Those are the real numbers. The American people don’t get this tax cut so neither should these thieves. And we should go after the environmental terrorists like the Koch brothers and oil and chemical companies, and make them clean up their mess instead of impeding government on all sides with fraud.

That approval rating didn’t last too long, did it?! He had his post-election approval bump up and his much over-hyped sequester scare down tick. He’s a campaigner-in-chief, that’s it. He had 18 months to work out the kinks to sequestration, but chose to do nothing except golf and campaign against it for the last month or so. Then he claimed that he had been working with Congress and, low-and-behold, he never once called the House to try to work out a better methodology than proposed by sequestration.

This is probably news to a lot of contributors here, but most of the representatives in the House are backed by voters (like me) who would prefer to see the debt ceiling LOWERED (eventually to ZERO).

When the sequester comes we will see the GOP “true colors” as they wanted all these cuts. Thank you very much for being so ANTIAMERICAN Behner, Cantor, McOnnel,Ryan, Graham, McCain and the rest of the GOP. They also want us to turn into a 3rd World country like Mexico. I know, bec. I was born there. There, the police, the firemen and the soldiers come from low income families, they are usually not educated as they are here. I lived through it and is not good. Just look at what is happening there. Is sad to talk like that about your home country, but now this is my home country as I am now a proud US Citizen and I voted for OBAMA!!! HE IS A GREAT LIDER AND IS TRYING AS MUCH AS HE CAN. I just hope Congress finally gets his act together and grow up and start supporting us the American people. We want higher taxes for the 1%, we want immigration reform, marriage equality,more investment in education and roads, yes we want what we deserve. That is why you are there, not to sell a war with no facts, not to continue trying to be against the great Health Reform, but to enforce it. Not to create gossip on Secretaries to be, or Hillary. not to argue about Bengazi but bring to a military trial the four persons that sent us to an unfunded war: W. Bush, Chenney, Romsfeld and Condolleza. The drones have not killed as many Americans as the Iraq and the Afganistan wars. So, who is the real antiamerican: the GOP and they have been playing these game for too long. It amazes me how hipocrites they talk, they are pro-life, but sent us to all these wars that have cost us billions and more in lifes. They are anti-abortion, but then they do not want to provide services for the mothers of low income that have these babies. You cannot have it both ways. History will tell, but for now, I just love our President, he is a true American and a good man. God Bless him, and my husband and I will continue working as much as possible for our son’s future and the good of our country.

Oh, well heck..yes. Spend that money! Or spend that what they call money, its ok. Our kids can handle it..and their kids and their kids. Go Obama. Give all that stuff away. Oh those bad, bad Republicans. They want dirty water, dirty air, woman barefoot and pregnant, the black man in chains, the Latinos picking strawberries for nothing and Obama is fixing all that. Spend, spend, spend. That is the way everyone fixes their household budget, for sure. Just call the credit card company and raise your limit on the card, what the heck. Someone will eventually pay for it….maybe. Oh well, Obama won’t have to worry about it…he will be long gone on his full security and Presidential retirement, building his library and Michelle’s library. Skies the limit!

National polls mean little for seats filled in local elections. The fear mongering of the far right has worked on the small minded voters of too many districts and states. Only when the far right is thrown conclusively on the trash heap at the local level will our government once again function to benefit us all.

[...] to give in eventually. What’s funny is that they had to be told this — apparently their 26% approval rating wasn’t clear [...]
