Title: Happy Birthday "President" Obama.....
Post by: Coach is Back! on August 03, 2011, 09:41:28 AM
.....you POS!



Presidential birthday bashes are nothing new, but in the wake of a months-long debt battle and in the midst of an economy barely chugging along, some see President Barack Obama's Wednesday birthday celebration coming at a terrible time.

"We're nearing a double-dip recession. We've lost 125,000 jobs here in Illinois just since he took office," Illinois GOP chairman Pat Brady said Tuesday.

Mitt Romney tweeted a campaign video painting a dreary picture of Chicago's economy and the message, "@BarackObama celebrates his 50th bday & collects $35,800 checks but IL is struggling due to his failed policies."

Still, there will be plenty of prominent Democrats who will find it in their schedule -- and their pocketbooks -- to attend the festivities.

And there's no secret that the event at the legendary Aragon Ballroom in Uptown is a campaign fundraiser. Tickets for Obama's birthday celebration range from $50 for the concert to nearly $36,000 per person for a private dinner with the President.

Performers include Chicago's own Jennifer Hudson, Herbie Hancock and OK Go. About 1,000 tickets were made available to the general public.

Whatever one's political allegiances, preparations at the theater on Tuesday were in full swing.  New neon was installed in the famous marquee, prison crews tackled the job of cleaning the sidewalks, and at a day care center next door, the preschools created a hand-written welcome banner.

Obama is expected to fly into Chicago Wednesday afternoon. He's scheduled to be in Uptown between 5 p.m. and 10 p.m., Ald. Cappleman told Uptown's community publication.

It's unclear how Obama will spend his actual birthday -- his 50th -- on Thursday.  His first birthday as president was spent on a weekend trip at Camp David.

US borrowing tops 100% of GDP: Treasury
(AFP) – 1 hour ago 



WASHINGTON — US debt shot up $238 billion to reach 100 percent of gross domestic project after the government's debt ceiling was lifted, Treasury figures showed Wednesday.

Treasury borrowing jumped Tuesday, the data showed, immediately after President Barack Obama signed into law an increase in the debt ceiling as the country's spending commitments reached a breaking point and it threatened to default on its debt.

The new borrowing took total public debt to $14.58 trillion, over end-2010 GDP of $14.53 trillion, and putting it in a league with highly indebted countries like Italy and Belgium.

Public debt subject to the official debt limit -- a slightly tighter definition -- was $14.53 trillion as of the end of Tuesday, rising from the previous official cap of $14.29 trillion a day earlier.

Treasury had used extraordinary measures to hold under the $14.29 trillion cap since reaching it on May 16, while politicians battled over it and over addressing the country's bloating deficit.

The official limit was hiked $400 billion on Tuesday and will be increased in stages over the next 18 months.

The last time US debt topped the size of its annual economy was in 1947 just after World War II. By 1981 it had fallen to 32.5 percent.

Ratings agencies have warned the country to reduce its debt-to-GDP ratio quickly or facing losing its coveted AAA debt rating.

Moody's said Tuesday that the government needed to stabilize the ratio at 73 percent by 2015 "to ensure that the long-run fiscal trajectory remains compatible with a AAA rating."

But George Bush, Bill Clinton, Ronald Reagan, and beyond were and they would hold these expensive fundraising events.  They all did it to run for office and to retain their office.  Every politician from the mayor of some bumfuck town to the President of the United States holds fundraising events.

So stop whining over Obama's fundraising events because its no different than what every other President and politican does.

Yeah....but usually not when the country is literally going to shit. Hey Vince...did ya hear that the US went over 100% of the GDP today? Wooohooo, lets throw a party. Are you going be one of the people who votes for him solely because he's black?

Its for an exclusive dinner party of a more intimate dinner with the president.  There's only 60 tickets.  May sound like a lot but people pay Warren Buffet 2 million to eat with him.  

Honestly, I think all of the "fundraising as a whole" is disgusting.  That's why I hate politics for.  Reminds me of the times I worked security at these venues and nodded my head to everyone like I was some fucking lawn jockey and having to tell "regular people" who were curious to go away. ::)

I don't mind paying more in taxes if I'm getting my money's worth out of it like health care, education, and less crime rate.  Also, since I took 2 years of French, I would like to stay in practice. 


All and all, its a consideration.  I have a number of projects here that I'm working on including my personal training studio.

Are you kidding? 



1.  Don't appoint the same gangsters to your admn who caused the collapse like geithner, summers, bernake, rubin, etc. 

2.  Don't appoint as the head of your jobs summit the main guy outsourcing jobs and paying zero (Immelt) 

3.  Don't pile on bullshit regulations and costs to small business in a weak economy. 

4.  Don't take up healthcare garbage and make it worse while the economy still sucks 

5.  Don't devalue the dollar and cause energy and price inflation with money printing scams. 

6.  Dont have a cabinet full of political hacks who never held a real job. 

7.  Don't pile on regulation after regulaion on business. 

8.  Dont spend TRILLIONS on bullshit programs that are proven failures. 

9.  Don't attack business people 365 days a year.

10.  Don't create massive tax uncertainty. 




If you don't understand how Obama's shit show admn has contributed to the collapse of the economy, you probably voted for him in the first place, which makes you a fucking idiot.  Yes, most people who voted for this farce are stupid morons probably unable to tie their shoes in the morning.

He's the President of the United States.  That's included in the job package benefits, dipshit.  Air Force One and Two is the President's planes, that's what he gets for being elected.  He gets an armored limo a staff, 400,000 dollars a year salary, a 100,000 dollar travel account, a 50,000 expense account, and a 19,000 entertainment account .    He'll even have a security detail after he leaves office as will the Vice President.  Even Dan Quayle still has Secret Service guarding him.

Your whining over the President's plane and security is ridiculous because that's what every other President gets.

Oh jetting off the Chicago for 5 hours is in his benefits package? Fucking up air and traffic patterns to grand stand at the Aragon Ballroom is all part of the package? Fuck you, ya asshat I live in the area, it was great for all of us that didn't drop 35K to see the POTUS ::)

You just don't fucking get it, the country is a mess, the stock market is tanking. Oh but lets spend an assload of money to celebrate Obama's birthday, the fiscal responsibility show by this administration is truly breath taking.

There is a thing called leading by example, if this is the example the POTUS is setting this country is finished.

1.  Don't appoint the same gangsters to your admn who caused the collapse like geithner, summers, bernake, rubin, etc. 
even if his appointees were poor choices, which they werent, that wouldnt have a direct effect on the standing of the economy today. while this might be good avice , which it isnt, it isnt advice that would have changed the state of the markets, unemployment, etc. 
2.  Don't appoint as the head of your jobs summit the main guy outsourcing jobs and paying zero (Immelt) 
again, even if this was a bad appointment, which it wasnt, this doesnt have a measurable effect on the economy.  this advice does not meet the criterion for being able to have improved the economy, even if it is good advice, which it isnt [/b]
3.  Don't pile on bullshit regulations and costs to small business in a weak economy. 
that would be a valid point if it were happening. but thats just a republican talking bout being regurgated, not a reflection of reality.
4.  Don't take up healthcare garbage and make it worse while the economy still sucks 
healthcare isnt related to the economy , unrelated topic, besides the fact that extending coverage to millions of americans is a ery positive thing
5.  Don't devalue the dollar and cause energy and price inflation with money printing scams. 
its called quantitative easing and without it we would be in a worse economic position, not a better one. so far all your advise would only result in a weaker economy
6.  Dont have a cabinet full of political hacks who never held a real job. 
again, false, and unrelated to the economy
7.  Don't pile on regulation after regulaion on business. 
not reality. obama hasnt been doing that. another regurgetated republican talking point
8.  Dont spend TRILLIONS on bullshit programs that are proven failures. 
government spending boosts economic activity. sorry pal, theres one more to your list that would actually lessen economic activity, not improve it.
9.  Don't attack business people 365 days a year.
not happening
10.  Don't create massive tax uncertainty. 
not happening

Yep, same as President Bush, Clinton, and Reagan when they celebrated their birthdays.  Being the president has its benefits but just to let you know, he does have to pay for anything that has nothing to do with his duties as President and its monitored by a bipartisan committee such as this event which is covered by the Democratic National Committee.  If he's using taxpayer money improperly, I'm sure the GOP would be the first to raise a stink.

By the way, the President has no control over the stock market or the price of gas or the mortgage industry.

Yep, same as President Bush, Clinton, and Reagan when they celebrated their birthdays.  Being the president has its benefits but just to let you know, he does have to pay for anything that has nothing to do with his duties as President and its monitored by a bipartisan committee such as this event which is covered by the Democratic National Committee.  If he's using taxpayer money improperly, I'm sure the GOP would be the first to raise a stink


This is why i come down so hard on you 95ers.    You disgrace yourselves supporting and defending the indefensible.

We dont need more laws, we need to end laws and end agencies. 

1.  Get rid of the EPA, NEA, NLRB, Commerce Dept, DHS, to start. 

2.  End public employee collective bargaining and defined benefit pensions.

3.  Cut 5% of the govt across the board every year. 

4.  End the wars. 

5.  Drill, drill, drill, drill, EVERYWHERE

6.  Go back to gold standard and end the Fed Reserve

7.  Get rid of the progressive income tax and move to flat tax or national sales tax.

8.  Tort and class Action lawsuit reform. 

9.  No more "free trade" agreements unless companies give equal treatment to our exports. 

10.  No more welfare, SSI, 99 weeks of UE, etc. 

11.   End war on drugs. 

12.  Zero corporate and capital gains taxes. 

13.  Zero estate tax 




you want more?

By the way, the President has no control over the stock market or the price of gas or the mortgage industry. 

Being the President is being a public servant, in case you need a little reminder of that simple fact. I don't give a fuck who did what before, this is now, and the country is in shambles. Its a jack wagon like you that would support all the policies that will destroy America, then move to Canada or France.

He may not personally, but his fucked up policies absolutely have an effect on the stock market, price of gas, and the mortgage industry.

He may well have served but if he wants to give a few specifics I can confirm quickly that he was in...Post/Unit/MOS..timeframe of service. I assume it was pre 911 but its not his fault.

1.  Get rid of the EPA, NEA, NLRB, Commerce Dept, DHS, to start. 
so let people destroy the environment and operate business in as sscandalous ways as they want. bravo. not sure this is going to boost total consumption. probably the opposite
2.  End public employee collective bargaining and defined benefit pensions.
great. allow employers to have a monopoly on the terms of employment. very fair system, nothing leading dangerously towards enslavement. 
3.  Cut 5% of the govt across the board every year. 
lgovernment spending boosts the economy. your going backwards with this suggestion
4.  End the wars. 
thats a maybe.. and it wouldnt boost the economy.. in fact war contracts boosts economic activity at home even when the war is being fought abroad. your bad at this.
5.  Drill, drill, drill, drill, EVERYWHERE
awesome idea. scientific consensus doesnt mean anything. were all gonna die anyways so who cares if earth is destroyed in the process
6.  Go back to gold standard and end the Fed Reserve
LOL go read a high school economics textbook
7.  Get rid of the progressive income tax and move to flat tax or national sales tax.
maybe but that doesnt effect the economy, it might boost the incentive to produce but it wmight also decrease the incentive to buy
8.  Tort and class Action lawsuit reform. 
unrelated to the economy..and no
9.  No more "free trade" agreements unless companies give equal treatment to our exports. 
maybe but this is a poor solution to our jobs problem. you need to think bigger.
10.  No more welfare, SSI, 99 weeks of UE, etc. 
that will sour the economy. those people arent going to be high producers no matter what. tand they spend that money. one of the best investments the government can make for the economy outside of education.
11.   End war on drugs. 
good one! im suprised.
12.  Zero corporate and capital gains taxes. 
LMAO what the fuck ..   you gotta be shittin me with this.. thats where ALL the money is at.. and where its less needed as well.. it only makes since to tax here and hevaily
13.  Zero estate tax 
inheritance tax? no that needs to remain..again, where all the money is at

The country is far from being in shambles compared to the rest of the world and there's never going to be a time where everything is going to be alright.  The stock market is controlled by world interests...not by the policies of the president...same with gas prices.

Yes, its easy to blame Obama or Bush or another politician but the people to blame are the ones who are getting rich at everyone else'ss expenses and that's the oil companies, the speculators, the corporations that uses the tax breaks to ship jobs overseas, the hedge fund managers who sap the life out of people's 401k's, and all of the other greedy little shits in the world.   

If you want to argue over something that the President controls like the war in Libya that's one thing.  However, its silly to argue over things that he has absolutely no control over.

We dont need more laws, we need to end laws and end agencies. 

1.  Get rid of the EPA, NEA, NLRB, Commerce Dept, DHS, to start - there's a good reason why these depts are around, especially the EPA

2.  End public employee collective bargaining and defined benefit pensions- like that will go over well with retireees

3.  Cut 5% of the govt across the board every year. - so we'll have no government in 20 years??

4.  End the wars. - Even George Washington couldn't accomplish that

5.  Drill, drill, drill, drill, EVERYWHERE - Can't drill, drill, everywhere and drill permits are still being issued


6.  Go back to gold standard and end the Fed Reserve - hard for a person to carry around gold bars to buy coffee

7.  Get rid of the progressive income tax and move to flat tax or national sales tax. - That will eliminate the middle class and only benefit the rich

8.  Tort and class Action lawsuit reform. - Finally something reasonable...might want to suggest capping lawsuit awards and limit the percent amounts that attorneys can collect

9.  No more "free trade" agreements unless companies give equal treatment to our exports. - you must mean countries and that will never happen

10.  No more welfare, SSI, 99 weeks of UE, etc.  -  ::)

11.   End war on drugs.  - Its cheaper and smarter to enforce drug prevention...unless you want a nice spike in health costs as well as crime rate

12.  Zero corporate and capital gains taxes. - Only benefits the wealthy and will cause a larger deficit than we already have

13.  Zero estate tax - Does not apply to a spouse or if someone is donating to a charity

The country is being propped up on the premise that the economy is the backing for the US dollar. What has the economy done? Yeah its always someone else keeping us down, got news for you, a company is in business to make money. Who makes the tax laws, it sure as hell isn't the evil corporations. And how exactly did the hedge fund managers do this legally? Here's a hint the government repealed Glass/Steagal.

You can keep posting the talking points of the MSM who sing out in unison like a choir of retarded children, and I can find a government policy that is the motivating force behind it.

Strange how all you left wingers now claim the POTUS has no control, well basically over anything. When someone other than a progressive is POTUS, they are responsible for everything.

Libya, FUBAR from the outset.

The president ultimately has no control over the stock market or gas prices because these items are a world commodity...which part did you not understand??  The tax laws are created by the legislative branch being the Senate and House of Representatives....the President of the United States is the executive branch.  He can only sign the bills passed by Congress into law. 

The United States does not rule the world.   Learn some political science

So by not allowing any drilling in the gulf, and executive order, it had no impact on the price of oil? Not to mention the federal tax on a gallon of gas. Ever wonder why you don't see how much tax you pay on a gallon of gas?
The tax laws are created by the government, the POTUS does have the ability to VETO the bill, but since he only signs it into law its not his fault ::)

Perhaps you should at least have a rudimentary understanding of the working of the US government before you feebly attempt to lecture someone on how it works
