Obama: My Vision Is An America “Where We Live Within Our Means”…
He’s been on a reckless spending binge since day one and he has the balls to say this? Amazing.
Via RCP:
“This is my vision for America: A vision where we live within our means while still investing in our future, where everyone makes sacrifices, but no one bears all the burden, where we provide a basic measure of security for our citizens and we provide rising opportunity for our children. There will be those who vigorously disagree with my approach. I can guarantee that as well. Some will argue, we should not even consider ever, ever raising taxes even if only on the wealthiest Americans. It’s just an article of faith to them,” President Obama said in his address on the deficit and debt.

Yeah, I just saw another article where he said he was going to slash the Debt by $$ 4 Trillion. How many Trillions has he and the Democratic Party raised the Debt? What is this, some kind of scam?
I don’t give a rat’s rear about HIS vision for America. We have seen his vision and, we the people, have rejected it. The sooner that the vision of we the people is espoused by strong willed Conservatives in Congress, the sooner we the people will be at getting our country back.
barry (aka Obama); how do you live with yourself? You have no shame!
Now you ask everyone to sacrifice? What about the 40% who pay no income taxes at all?
You don’t need another tax cut? I think you should set an example and “give back” every penny you make over your magical number of $250,000. Every Penny! go ahead, set an example. And get your buddies Buffet, Soros, Gates, et al to set an example also.

Color me cynical but I find it hard to believe anything Obama says anymore.
Now don’t get me wrong I wanted to believe he had the best interests for the country ,but unfortunately he fails me every time.
Why is that so many people in America look to have the government take care of all their needs? it wasn’t that way when I was growing up.
America does better when the American people are required to stand on their own two feet and not look to the nanny state for help.
This was a terrific speech man. Very Very Good. Hell I’d vote for the man…. If it was 2008 again…BUT now after his “execution” of “His dream” and the economy is still shit, his leadership his party has damn near wrecked our nation and he wants to stand up and talk about the “America he knows?” The America he knows has been seen before it was the great depression, it was Germany, it was the Soviet Union it’s North Korea…. Please America don’t pay attention to the bullshit you hear from Obama, look at his actions.
He makes pretty speeches though don’t he?
This assholes vision for America is in Venezuela. A marxsist president for life.
(recorded by hidden mic in the WH residency)
“IF YOU THINK I’M GONNA GIVE UP MY SHOES AND JEANS …?!”
… … WHACK
Yeah, now that he rewarded all the Marxist and union goons and funded a bigger more expansive gov’t. NOW he wants to cut HIS spending.
Really? Thanks for raping our economy ASS-H….!
Where is a righteous bolt of lightning when one is needed.
Endless campaigning is all this is…and he’s toast now.
Cannot take anymore of his bullshit today…the majority of this nation can’t either.
I have said for the last year that there will be some kind of significant event or national emergency that will cause the cancellation of the 2012 elections and martial law will be declared. I pray to God that I am wrong!
0bama could have stood on the stage and belched and farted for 30 minutes and the media would tell us how great it was.
THAT is freaking rich coming from a guy who golf his way thru major international crisis, party with our money and spending date night with wookie on our dime…..
When are YOU, mr. president going to live within your mean????? Like if the tax revenue is 2 trillion, that’s all you can budget for the whole federal government, NOT going out to borrow as extra 1.5 trillon…..
chiggerbug
don’t be such a fool. You know that is never going to happen.
” If Obama and his people succeed the United States that we have known will exist no more…it will unravel..”
“Why should the Government stand in your way of being prosperous (taxing your ass to death for suceeding an working hard-and redistributing what YOU have earned.)
“The Government “wants and needs” takes precident over yours (by TAKING your disposal income even if you need it )-that’s not America”
Rush Limbaugh
Take your vision and shove it.
We live in a country where millions of relatively educated and successful citizens buy on credit cards with 23% interest knowing they can’t make even minimum payments. Millions of citizens signed insane variable-rate and balloon payment mortgages on houses they could never afford. Millions of citizens invest none of their income into savings or retirement. Citizens like this are the people we elect and who run our government.
Living beyond one’s means is the American Way. Is it any wonder that government spending is out of control?
After all of this is over, the tribunals will rival the Nuremberg trials of WWII.
Pelosi, Reid, Obama……all of them will be called to testify. One-by-one, after days and months of publicly declaring their innocence, each member will break down on the witness stand…….sobbing…….and they will plead for mercy from the court. “They made me do it. The others…….they threatened to ruin me if i didn’t go along with the plan……”
And one-by-one, the members will be barred from ‘public service’ forever, and others will be sentenced to prison for the rest of their natural lives.

@Rupaula:
Strawman.
Show me in the Constitution where it says the millions of Americans who do live within their means are liable for the millions who don’t.
A vision where we live within our means while still investing in our future
A vision (mirage is more appropriate) is all it’s ever going to be with this guy at the helm.
And please stop with the “investing in our future” crap. We’ve “invested” trillions and what, exactly, has been returned? A failed school system? A failed auto industry? A failed housing industry? National insolvency?
“A vision where we live within our means while still investing in our future, where everyone makes sacrifices but no one bears all the burden, where we provide a basic measure of security for our citizens and we provide rising opportunity for our children.”
Translation: I vision a country where we price such evils as gasoline, automotive travel, air travel, energy use in general and all consumer based products at much higher levels thus forcing the proles to either ration their useage or to eliminate their use all together. Know that these luxuries will be reserved for unlimited use by the intelectual and privileged classes who will have more than enough money to spend on such trivialities.
Aren’t government mandated expectations of a lower standard of living grand!
Let’s hope he keep this kind of rhetoric up. This will go over like a lead balloon with the electorate.
I guess this means he’s going to cut down to one vacation and eight rounds of golf a month now?
“Our means?” Wouldn’t it be great if you could concentrate really hard and make Obama feel like there was a blowtorch on his sphincter? “The president unexpectedly left the podium today and scooted on his ass right out the side door”.
With this jackass it is all about not listening to him too much and just watching what he does. He is transparent in that way – and clearly an elitist commie a-hole.
Funny stuff, coming from our Big-Spender-In-Chief, who’s made the deficit worst in his 2 years in office than Bush did in 8 years. Everything that comes out of Obozobama’s mouth is either vile lies, outrageous slander or ignorant bullshit.
What a POS. My God do we need an uprising in this country. What would this country do if the white conservative base in the country would rise up and say “enough is enough”? God help the passive liberals.
What the F**k?
CBO: Budget deal cuts this fiscal year’s deficit by just $353 million, not $38 billion touted~~
http://www.washingtonpost.com/business/cbo-budget-deal-cuts-this-fiscal-years-deficit-by-just-353-million-not-38-billion-touted/2011/04/13/AFFJnkWD_story.html
Tripled the deficit in ’09 & ’10. The deficit is now 10.8% of GDP, and officially higher than any other developed economy. Barry, the clown prince of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave., can’t find his ass with both hands. Time for Chicago Jesus to go home, and let the folks who have a clue about economics take over.
@Lou. I would not put ANYTHING past this administration.
“Uh…ummm and with my cap n trade plan energy prices would necessarily go up. ” Fucking asshole pretends to be for the “worker” when all he really cares about is his elititist slug friends and their parasitic groupies.
And as far as his rhetoric is concerned. Its all smoke and mirrors. Its an attempt to catch up to Republican budget intiatives. Only this time he isn’t the ursurper, he’s the reactor. Its all “just words”; “Just speeches” to him anyways.
Ebola said that the Repubics would have to get in the back seat. Well, while Thelma and Louise were speeding towards that cliff, the Repubics reached forward and put on the brakes.
Yeah, he’s so smart all right. Ebola will hang himself with his own empty words on each and every issue, so long as Repubics and The Tea Party stay one step ahead of his lazy political ass.
I wonder if the Kenyan water-boy knows what the word “sarab” means. It is the perfect descriptor for his “vision”. C’mon Ebola, convince me that you are a closet Mooselem.
Michael Medved said it was an excellent speech.
You must remember, when Obama uses the collective WE, it is exclusive of the intellectual elitists that have come up with all this crazy shit we are living…they of course will continue to live the high life off our work while we continue to struggle.
Common sense leadership for common people…a thing of days past!
Doing what “wordsmithers” do best, distort, distract, and never ever give a clear and concise answer to an upfront question.
I want to know why the President turned down (twice) Sam Palmisano’s (IBM CEO) solution to Medicare/Medicaid fraud – it was offered for free. Apparently, it would have saved billions.
When did we all agree to share our money, like socialists imply?
Did i miss that meeting?
.
He believe his vision. That is the scary part. And he has more than 50% of Americans that are to stupid to know any better. I pray they stay home on election day. Otherwise we are hosed.
Communist lying scum of the earth. Why ANYONE would call this putride piece of moslim dung president is beyond my comprehension.
This SOB is delusional! I have and never will agree to share anything of mine with any entitlement liberal/socialist POS. Barry boy the first thing that needs to be axed in your new assessment of living within our means is your golf game and family vacations. Oh and put your fatass wife Mooshell on a DIET!
OMG!
Paul Ryan is right now ripping B-HO another a-ho!
Will post the video if/when it’s available.
Damn! I wish we could have Ryan in 2012 … What to do? We need him in the House crunching numbers, cutting fat, and busting skulls.
A real leader.
Obama just served up a gourmet feast for me to digest. (BUUUURRRRRPPP!)
I’m done, and am reaching for the Pepto-Bismol. There’s more E. Coli than
delectables.

Gastorgrab is right if they live long enough for a trial. The economy WILL collapse. Both parties must think it’s easier to let it crumble then fix the problems. Lord help them when it does, there won’t be enough emergency flights to Europistan to save them from the American people.
This ( collapse ) in some ways is the best option, we can permantly weed out progresive socialists once the collapse arrives.
Wow – in less than one paragraph, he goes from saying that “no one bears all the burden” to saying that the burden should be borne by only “the wealthiest Americans”.
I’d say the man has a brass pair, but we all know better…..
(And NEVER forget – this is a man who has NEVER been able to keep up with his own personal bills; someone has ALWAYS had to bail him and Michelle Antoinette out)
He doesn’t remember what he reads from one speech to the next. Possible that flap on the back of his head is for the insertion of programmed speeches. Who knows?
PS Az Senate just passed bill requiring BC for Presidential candidates. Of course courts will rule that unconstitutional. If they do I think we should recruit Vladimir Putin to run.
I have a vision where the American public wakes the f*&^ up and gives Obama’s mother a late-term abortion.
Is this wrong?
When the U.S. has no means, when we are a poor country reduced to begging China for handouts, when we are a submissive socialist third world nation that cannot defend itself.. then we will live within our means.. this is Zero’s vision.
REPORT: Budget deal cuts this year’s deficit by just $353 million, not $38 billion touted…Drudge
I despise both republican and democrats!
Silence capitalist dogs, O’Douche’ speaks.
Hey, Barry. I do not need to see up ANYONE’S nose, least of all yours while you’re looking down at me. Get over yourself.
Hey Teresa in Ft. Worth: I’m in Irving! *waves*
In my vision of America there is a fleet of moving vans outside of the White House in January 2013.
@vagabond trader,
I’m not saying that those that do have to support those that don’t. I’m saying that the real problem is that so many Americans don’t have any fiscal responsibility or restraint. Thus, it is no wonder government spending is out of control. If you want to solve the government spending problem, focus on making your average citizen fiscally responsible. Teach kids early how to make a budget and balance a check book.
Time to see rotted veggies from the farms that will be killed off by his dangerous nonsense thrown at this poser.
This guy has no frigging idea what he said or did yesterday, i would
go as for to say, he has no idea what he said fifteen minutes ago….
Its like when something comes out of his mouth, its gone from his
brain for good and he really don’t remember what he said are done….
Another word folks, he’s a man living in a moron’s body, pretending to
be someone he is not and trying to pull a snow job on the progressive
left zombies who’s brain has been cooked and thinks this is the one who
will heal them all of all things and will finally lead them to the land of
milk and honey….
They will never see the only thing he will bring will be them wondering
in the wilderness for forty years while he fiddles away their life….
He may have a vision – but I am living in his reality and the two are no where near the same. If he truely has a vision of an America where the government lives within its means, then he had best get busy embracing the House’s plans to start cutting the budget – and not just with a scalpel.
But I suspect that while he may have a “vision” of this, he will remain “visionary” while embracing instead the policy of spend, spend, spend he has already established, and the policy of tax, tax, tax which his fellow Democrats are already chanting.
Living within our means, and punishing the rich for being rich.
I thought all discrimination was wrong.
Why do liberals discriminate against successful people?
Did Jesus hate the wealthy, too?
Jesus asked us to GIVE 10% to help our fellow man.
Why does the government TAKE 30% or more?
These folk cant demonstrate any kind of accountability or restraint with the money we currently allow them to take. And we are supposed to give them more?
WE NEED MORE LAMPPOSTS!!!!!!
Do as I say, not as I do…..and if you dont, the full coercive power of government will be brought against you.
This is what passes for leadership in this country today.
Big Spender Obama is speaking of living within our means only because he knows that Americans are catching on as to what kind of future his spending policies have bequeathed to the next generation of Americans.
Now, I know that all politicians are hypocrites to one degree or another. But Obama? He takes the prize for hypocrisy. Is there a Nobel Prize category for that?
I get your vision bo, it’s called “i’m screwing you over again because you’re not dead yet”.
Like he gives a shit………skinny pleeeeeze
@WeaternGal
Good question for barry! We all know the answer, keep the parasites voting for the d-rats!
I guess IBM doesn’t sit at the table with the won and GE,Google,Goldman,Chase,BOA,GM,Chrysler,ARRP,Microsoft,Facebook,ALL Unions,Apple,Power co’s,Boeing,etc.
barry, a worthless POS!!!!!
Sorry Pres**ent Obama, we all can’t upgrade our houses through the help of convicted felons.
EFF YOU OBAMA!
YOU ARE AN ENEMY OF THE STATE AND SHOULD BE TRIED FOR TREASON!
Visualize Obama leading tens of millions of socialists to North Korea where they can live the utopian dream!
The rest of us can get to work restoring honor and individual liberty to this great nation…
