Obama's Speech on the Economy, Cliff's Notes:
It's Bush's fault and if you increase taxes it will all be all better because the economy is now in great shape! Here are a few straw-man arguments for the talk shows to discuss!
God willing, it will be President Obama who is blamed for cutting the 2/3 of the budget that is non-discretionary entitlement spending.
Reduce deficit by $4T in 10 years? Why, that Ryan plan "leads to a fundamentally different America than the one we've known" - whatever happened to "radically transforming" the country?
"These cuts tell us we can't afford the America I believe in" That's correct, you socialist! Class war-mongering blah blah "The America I Know," translation: I learned about it in left-wing ivory-tower high-dollar elite college settings from America-hating professors, because unlike you people I did not grow up here.
$4T over 12 years . . . obviously way better, NOW it's time to listen to the deficit commission. Every kind of spending on the table? We'll see about that. I guess this week is different than last week's "Nope, zero."
"Win the future" . . . that is his re-election campaign slogan and this is a CAMPAIGN SPEECH!
Further reduce healthcare spending . . . by cutting out capitalism? Reducing the cost of healthcare . . . like by reducing what services are provided as in England? Price controls leading to shortages?
"I refuse to renew them again." Could you sound any MORE like a petulant child? Reform the tax code so it is fair and simple? You mean, like the Fair Tax? (as if!)
Note that reducing the deficit $4T in 12 years puts us over $8T further in the hole, up to owing, as a nation, $22T!
Washington hasn't asked the wealthiest Americans to pay more taxes, but they want to! *ahem* nobody asked ME what I wanted to happen to MY taxes, and it doesn't mean bubkis if YOU WANT a tax cut or not.
"Can't just think about ourselves" . . . You greedy people want to keep more than a third of the money you make.
This is a rerun of his first campaign for President: highly disingenuous, short on substance, well-read off a teleprompter. Garbage. STILL a lightweight/empty suit.
