Obama officially threatens to veto 'Cut, Cap and Balance'
he White House on Monday warned President Obama will veto GOP legislation to “Cut, Cap and Balance” spending and the budget.
In a statement of administration policy, the White House Office of Management and Budget labeled the GOP bill as an “empty political statement.”
The House Rules Committee is expected to take up the measure on Monday, and it is likely to receive a floor vote on Tuesday. The measure would cut spending in Fiscal Year 2012 by $111 billion, cap future spending at 18 percent of gross domestic product and approve a balanced budget amendment to the Constitution. It would also raise the debt limit
...The president's veto threat was followed by a full-on assault from administration officials who blasted the GOP proposal as "extreme, radical [and] unprecedented."...
Given the choice between stubborn reactionary ideologues and a clueless demagogue who has run this country into the ground and hasn't a clue how to help turn this economy around, I think they'll make the wise choice and go with the former.The GOP have turned into stubborn reactionary ideologues with no interest in compromise since Obama entered office. Voters are starting to realize it.
In its place, Obama and Democrats propose "Spend, No-Limit, Deficits"....or their other plan of "Tax, Tax, Tax, Tax".....and while Democrats will support some Spending cuts....its only if they are offset with Spending increases.......
........this is how liberals balance budgets....why every Democrat state and city is Bankrupt....and why every liberal utopia around the world is Bankrupt and approaching collapse.... Liberalism leads to Bankruptcy every time its tried.

You guys don't realize he's actually winning this battle do you? By a lot.

It's not that people blame GOP more than Obama. It's because GOP voters are disgusted with EVERYONE in DC allowing this fiasco to linger, including Republicans. Republicans caving to Obama has voters very critical of their party. However, Obama supports support him no matter what; i.e. economy, unemployment, fraudulent birth certificate, insane spending, endless golf, billion dollar vacations, etc.

As much as the right whines and bitches about Obama being this "leftist", "my way or the highway" kind of guy you do realize he has compromised on so many of his "radical" (which are not even radical) ideas. Hell he is even talking about cutting SS, Medicare, and medicaid... Seriously....
Do tell.........
...........clearly America wants The Most Expensive President in History to have another credit line increase and continue spending us into oblivion.

So posting that image has what to do with this current issue? Should I start gloating about the 2008 electoral map as well?
Your such a forgetful fella there badmutha....
Did you conveniently forget, that the GOP raised the debt ceiling seven times under George W. Bush, waged two unfunded wars and sponsored a drug program for seniors that is a total disaster.
If millionaires cannot be taxed more because they provide jobs, where are those jobs? They are overseas - just try to contact customer service at a major corporation.
The GOP now believes that fixing the country's financial difficulties is to place the burden on the middle class. Why not have our elected officials, like the middle class, give up some salary, contribute more to their health care plan and pension fund, give up some of their perks and pet projects that are not a necessity. They were not voted into office to become millionaires. As of yet, I have not heard one elected official give back or give up anything. All the GOP does is whine and soil their shorts over the poor downtrodden abused super rich and corporations need more tax cuts...is it any wonder there are lifelong republicans like me saying screw you far right greedy bastards...

You realize that an actual reasoned and impartial review of those stats shows that the GOP's approval is largely that low not because of support for Obama or support for significant tax hikes over delayed spending, but rather because of significantly low approval on the part of Republicans themselves? You also realize multiple polls have came out showing Republicans significantly split between two camps....the one camp that feels we need to raise the debt ceiling but should get stuff out of it, and the other camp that feels we should not raise the debt ceiling. Notice neither camp is "raise taxes" or "do what Obama says".
Because of those two camps, Republicans are displeased with their congressional representitives because there are people of both camps in congress, meaning there are people in congress members of both camps can be disapproving of.
In all reality the polls show that things are rather normal in terms of your independents. More than 2/3rds of Democrats support the congressional Dem's, and the support for them hovers just under the national percentage of Democrats. The Republicans have a significant split, with over half the party being disapproving, so its explains why their approval number is lower. The President, historically, polls better than congress because its easier to express displeasure for the faceless entity that is the house and senate.
Its a heavily slanted reading, that bears little factual evidence when one looks closely at the results of the poll, to suggest that the low approval of what Republicans are doing and higher approval for what Obama is doing equates to significantly more people WANTING what Obama is supporting.
Additionally, you'd note, that none of the three entities that had the poll done about them recieved over 50% approval and all three had more disapproval than approval.
2,798 LIES Later..........I think you would realize by now........what the 24-7 Lie Factory says and does are polar opposites.

Wow. Only a socialist could conclude this.
Do you know there's no direct connection between the phsyical space of a state and its total population? Yes Montana up there is a big red giant for example that could cover all the blue in New England, but its got just a fraction of the actual people... So you posted a map with shows land area, and made a claim about people....
