According to Fox’s Cavuto, Obama — standing behind his psychotic “Office of the President Elect” sign — is ready to promise a delay on the insane tax hike on “The Rich” IF Congress will quickly approve an additional $700B – $1T “stimulus package” to be aimed at causes and business of which he personally approves.

Is it just me or is it weird how Barack Hussein Obama has a thing for signs announcing who he is.

Obama Proposes Big Stimulus Package, Tax Increases on Wealthy
Fox news
President-elect Barack Obama unveiled key elements of his blueprint for turning around the economy — and the team tasked with making it work — including a massive stimulus package and tax cuts for a “vast majority” of Americans paid for by the nation’s “wealthiest.”
Against a backdrop of increasing calls for him to establish a viable economic rescue plan well before he takes office on Jan. 20, Obama said reforms in Washington will be needed to create a “sustainable economy,” including larger contributions from taxpayers earning more than $250,000 per year.
“We’ve got to restore some balance to our tax code and the Bush tax cuts were disproportionately targeted to the very wealthiest Americans — those who were making more than a quarter million dollars a year can afford to pay a little more,” the president-elect said.
“And it is important if we’re going to help pay for some of these expenditures that are absolutely necessary to get our economy back on track that those who are in a position to pay a little more do so. Whether that’s done through repeal or whether that’s done because the Bush tax cuts are not renewed is something that my economic team will be providing me a recommendation on,” he said.
Some economists have endorsed spending up to $600 billion to revive the economy. Sen. Charles Schumer, a New York Democrat, and former labor Secretary Robert Reich, a member of Obama’s economic advisory board, both suggested $500 billion to $700 billion.
Obama said his economic team’s first job will be to work with Congress to pass an economic stimulus package.
“Not only do I want the stimulus package to deal with the immediate crisis, I want it also to lay the groundwork for long-term sustained economic growth,” he said.
Wild Thing’s comment……..
I really resent this guy being allowed to proceed as if he is now the president. He is not the president until after inauguration. We have a president and his name is not Obama!!!
And the RIDICULOUS seal , that his psychotic “Office of the President Elect” sign he has to have in front of him when he speaks is INSANE! And his freaking office of the President elect he has to remind of us, say to us every time he opens his mouth. I swear I never heard anyone else do this before.
The arrogance of this man makes me despise him even more than I thought possible.
And when the heck does all this money stuff stop! Every day we hear about another amount again in the hundreds of billions they need.
He’s so full of himself. How could anyone have such an idea that he’s God himself and that he can do better than the Almighty?
Sure, he’s the President Elect. Woopie Doo! We already knew that, but he has to keep announcing it? The media did their damage blatantly right in our faces. I can just see it now–just like in Braveheart, if you don’t conform to the goon squads, you’ll be brought in front of a tribunal and told, “It matters not, he is your President King.” My brother says I think he’s a fink and he’s right. I do. He’s hard to trust.
Did you see Laura Ingraham on O’Reilly? Ben Stein was on and called Bob Rubin the puppetmaster and Obama the puppet. Don’t forget–like Obama–Stein is a self-proclaimed brilliant person. I also don’t get this call (Friedman et al) to suspend the Constitution and let Junior take over now. Geithner is already involved–yes, in the bottomless pit bailout..that one.
Da Kingfish!!!
Now Chrissie….don’t you know the mentally challenged (PC for STUPID…Hehehehe) need a constant reminder of who they are and where they are?? Kind of like in a nursing home where they post the day and date so the residents don’t loose track of time!!!! LOL He definitely is an arrogant piece of dung!!!!
And by the way, he isn’t president or president elect until the Electoral College says he is!!!!
And this article on MSNBC (YUK) which stated the following:
“Some senior Democratic lawmakers put the cost of the package as high as $700 billion, a figure Obama’s team calls premature and several Democratic aides said was unlikely. One top Democratic congressional official, speaking on condition of anonymity because talks on the economic rescue measure are ongoing, said it will probably cost between $400 billion and $500 billion over two years.”
“The president-elect has acknowledged that the price tag of his rescue package will be far higher than the $175 billion economic aid plan he advocated while he was campaigning for the White House.” Oh!!! DUH!!!! Now who would have ever thought this would happen?!?!?!?!
“Democrats also plan to include tax cuts for low- and middle-class workers, along the lines of what Obama proposed on the campaign trail. One likely component is Obama’s proposal to send tax credits of $500 to individuals and $1,000 to couples, including payments for people who make too little to owe any taxes. Those credits are estimated to cost about $115 billion in their first two years, according to the nonpartisan Tax Policy Center.”
I wish someone would slap the crap out of the Democrat congressional official!!!! If you don’t have the balls to identify yourself, then do everyone a favor…..KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT!!!!!!!
Also, would someone please explain to me why the hell we are sending payments to “….people who make too little to owe any taxes.”?!?!?!
I sure wish I knew where all this money was going to come from…..China again?????? Or maybe Iran, Irag, Syria, or some other Muslim nation????
And he, and the Clinton retreads, are going to continue to sell us down the river. Mortgage this country to the point that we will need to go hat in hand to the Europeon Union. The New World Order continues.
Lynn, I agree, I don’t trust Obama at all. He is very sneaky like a snake.
HI Star, nice to meet you. Yesss and thank you for putting it here. I saw that and Ben Stein did not hold back at all. He is almost bursting wanting to get the information out about Rubin.
I believe Stein about Rubin, I read something else about it today too.
Jack, yes thank you for the link. Same like you say except I would love to take on the media that says Obama is charismatic. He is as charismatic as a door knob.
This is going to be very hard to post about this POS Obama…..Hear me goar liberals I say Obama is a POS and he will never ever be my President he can go you know what. LOL I start to think about him and my blood boils. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
John, LOL I love your comment!!!!!
yatalli, your so right, that is exactly what they are going to do.
Wild thing, It’s not you, this whole thing is surreal. I have yet to find one person who voted for him who ever heard any thing negative about him. Imagine-A perfect and 100% honest politician, the first in history, and it happens to be this follower of wonderful Rev. Wright. Give me a break! This is like a cult following. I have never seen this “office of the president elect thing before ever.” I have to limit how much of his voice I allow myself to actually hear, because it was reported
http://www.aapsonline.org/newsoftheday/0089
that he uses hypnosis, and those affected are permantly damaged, and lost forever.
Hi Joe, thanks for the link. I had heard something about this, I think it was Rush Limbaugh that mentioned it. I really appreciate the link, thank you.
