The President reacts to accusations of "He caved again" > > >

After reading all the DU posts this morning, this was my reaction as well.

what?.. no "Go Big" speech? ... tax cuts for corporations so they can create jobs?

who's laughing now?

He is not the President I voted for.

:rofl:

I see what you did thar. :P

self-aggrandizing kick

:rofl:

:rofl:

:spray:

Like an extension of businesses expensing capital investments;
Credits for businesses that increase the size of their workforce (no promise of good wages, just size counts);
A 2% payroll tax holiday for businesses (further eroding of SS);
A repatriation tax holiday so corporations doing business overseas would have to pay only 5.25 percent tax on earnings brought back to the United States instead of the 35 percent corporate tax rate on domestic profits.
Throw in a little training, get rid of the old costlier workforce; replace with cheaper free-trained workers.

Another stimulus for millionaires and billionaires - you know, those who need it?

He caved to the whiny right-wing babies, like he has his whole term.

I could find something in this mess to laugh about. It's not now and never has been about Obama the man. This goes to the root of the way someone has treated a PRESIDENT. For someone of his education to allow THE OFFICE of the Presidency to be "walked over" like this sets nothing but a bad precedent, and it gives "The Party of NO" an absolute "blank check" to do it again, anytime, no matter who is sitting in that chair behind the desk.
FDR was FDR, they wouldn't even have thought about it with him in the White House..
Harry Truman wouldn't have stood for it..You would have heard him yelling all the way back to Independence.
John Kennedy wouldn't have stood for it.. Five minutes with Bobby, and these cheap, hacks would be climbing the Iron gates outside the White House to escape with their political lives.
They wouldn't have had the balls to try to pull this on LBJ..
Jimmy Carter would have chewed them a new orifice.. face to face.
Bill Clinton would have kicked their backsides down The Mall and back again...physically and politically...
Obama...is..just...Obama...

What this does to the Prestige of THE OFFICE is what people ought to be getting angry about...

Laughter my backside.. If you wanna laugh at something, take a look at Ryan's "budget."

:)

It is much ado about nothing

will never see this. Obama is smart.

:evilgrin:

So he moved the date, it makes him the bigger man because fighting over the day of the speech is pretty childish.

CHILDISH!

The way these types of matters become a frenzy is so suspicious. Thread after thread on the same subject and always slanted.

But this group has always been frenzy like in the way a subject can be over done from time to time.

Example: Some inaccurate Politico article comes out, DU EXPLODES!

Next day the Politico article has been proven to be inaccurate and DU looks for the next Outrage.

Some people seem to have a low outrage threshold

I imagine that some have made into the moderator pool

Believe it.

then follow exactly behind it, agreeing with the M$M. We should be smarter than this.

And it is sad that some people here are buying into it.

I expected nothing different this time. Wonder if he consults them on what he should wear each day, too...

You may want to look into your "I wonder" threshold.

chose September 7 in the first place. Is this more chess? Get the POTUS to compromise on the date so he looks reasonable? The whole thing is ridiculous.

What is in the speech is important however, and from the strategic leaks that have come out of the WH so far, I don't think we're going to be impressed.

Sounds like more watered down "bipartisan" bullshit to me.

Unless, 'Obama "bowing" and "buckling" to Boehner' are good headlines for a sitting President.

complains of conflict with debate"

But that's just the Washington Post and we know nobody reads THEM. :sarcasm:

Interestingly, that's the print version. The online version has a totally different tone: "GOP forces Obama to reschedule jobs speech"

It's obvious that the Post, like many papers, presents a different picture to its online audience than to its print subscribers. But since the print subscribers are more likely those who aren't paying constant attention to the blogs, cable talkfests and other of the breathless media, I think it's very interesting and quite favorable that they are getting a more rational depiction of what actually happened.

in other words, folks in the REAL WORLD are not getting caught up in the manufactured hype.

On the other hand, the onliners are eagerly sopping up the "OMG OBAMA'S DOOMED!!!" sop that the electronic media is shoveling

:hi:

Hype is the correct word

I am glad that we have a calm, level headed and logical man as President.

We do not need a hothead who will roast the enemy.

People need to follow his example and calm down.

I would just address the Senate or do an Oval Office address. But, is this really that big of a deal? He obviously thinks it's important that both Houses of Congress are present for his speech.

He was accused of, 'caving,' then too.

if only the denizens of dastardly cavedoom here knew that that's exactly how Obama would react to hear some of the stinky shit hilarious stuff here.

I laugh like that too at times. :rofl:

WHY HE'S A WORSER THAN BOOSH CORPORATE DLCer WHOREMONGING CAVE WITHOUT A SPINE WHO LOST HIS BULLY PULPIT. THAT'S IT, LAST STRAW.

I bash Obama for caving all the time, but I think this date dust-up is no big deal. Honestly, who REALLY cares is the speech is on Wed or Thurs?

and indecisive. It does him no good when die-hard supporters can't see anything but virtue in everything he does. This white house needs to wake up and understand that caving is not good policy.

He laughs when he should act. He blames when he should listen. He is insulated, isolated, and insincere. Had he a clue, he would fire all of his advisors and try again.

But he won't. He will giggle at the sillies who elected him. Again.
