Happy Birthday "President" Obama.....

[Parker]

I don't care what anybody says, you bring fresh ideas to the table.

depends if the piss is fresh...

[Coach is Back!]

Like Mitt Romney and other Republican contenders aren't doing the same fucking thing......



Gosh, you're so fucking stupid

Didn't realize Mitt Romney was the leader of the "Free" world Vince.

Didn't realize Mitt Romney was the leader of the "Free" world Vince.

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.   

[Vince G, CSN MFT]

35k a head.  God only knows the cost to taxpayers.

There are Obama B-Day parties across the country to raise money for this disgusting mini-madoff. 


What a disgrace.   

he is a plague on this nation.   

Cost the taxpayers nothing.....

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?

[Vince G, CSN MFT]

I dont see where they are costing the taxpayer millions to cart their asses to gaudy b-day parties. 


Again 35k a head for what again? 

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.

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."

Depends on whether I'm still living in the United States.  I'm considering a move to France or Canada.

Nobama is a disgrace, a plague on the nation, acts like a crack head from Harlem who won the lotto, and makes a fool of himself and the nation daily.

of course

[Coach is Back!]

So Vince, you're going to move to Canada or France and pay even more in taxes? lol...good move Vince.

[Stavios]

No Vince....its not. He's the president, its not a sweet 16 party.

I agree it looks stupid

[Les Grossman]

of course

You should have cropped your arms out of the pic, like you did when you took the photos with that Lori Steele fella.

Tubby.......

       

[Vince G, CSN MFT]

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.

[Kazan]

Really? Air force one is free? Security detail is free? Not to mention the giant fucking disruption to the greater Chicago land area. Freeways, Streets being closed off. Extra police security, all free

bump for a reply 

just for shits and giggles 333386... tell me..  since you think the economy is obama's fault... or at the very least, you obviously think obama has it within his power to have fixed the economy already...  how exactly should he have gone about doing so? what policies could obama have implemented starting in 2009 that could have made our economy better than it is now? 

[Soul Crusher]

bump for a reply 

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

great. you accomplished nothing.    so you have any ideas about actual economic policy, or just more bullshit talking points not based on reality
