Demander -in-Chief

[trplnkl]

We can destroy the world 100 times over yet we can't adequately fund education or keep kids out of poverty, and you're upset because the military budget is being cut. I thought you Righties were all about reducing government spending? Guess what? Everyone in the military is one of those government employees you hate so much.

I've already mentioned that all these military personnel will be looking for jobs, but that's no reason to not end the war in Iraq.

Get off your.."you republicans hate" crap would ya.
I've spoken out against government jobs vs private sector jobs many times, not because I hate government workers but because those jobs (not the people) are more of a drain on the coffers than they add back to the economy. Private sector jobs add more to the economy than they take out. Now, if we could stop the excessive government spending we might recover economically as a nation. Even with the stimulus packages what good does it do to spend a million dollars to create a $30k job that returns less than $4k(in taxes) per year?
And while you're at it, get of the "black" thing too, nobody cares.

Fewer troops = less supplies needed, thus private sector jobs disappear.
A smaller military budget will hurt the development of many future projects that in turn would have helped the country defend itself.

FEAR FEAR FEAR FEAR...

All you do is live in fear. Guns at home so you can feel safe, then Bigger guns for the goverment so you can feel safe in your country. There is soo much waste in pentagon spending its not even funny.

Why not ask for cuts in goverment salaries for generals, admirals and enlisted men? They are goverment workers?

Peace.

For simpler terms.....We have 10 guys to protect our country. We take away 4 of them. No matter how you spin it, the country is not as well defended and not as safe as it was. The president seems to think it will be. That's the problem, the president!

Enemies, both foreign and domestic!

Name them. If you are going to fear something, then at least be able to identify them. C'mon, tell us who you fear. If you cant, then you might as well just say you are afraid of the boogeyman.

Peace.

Enemies come & go and change. Next week it could be someone different than this week. Go ask the CIA and Homeland Security to name them. They're the ones in charge of keeping us safe...........(Janet?????)

In my opinion, there are only two things we have to "fear" about:

1. Greed
2. Religious zealots

Both trying to permeate our government!

Don't forget abject failure and "living down by the river in a van!". Scary.

"This is an entirely new use of congressional power to block appointments. The normally mild-mannered James Fallows has called this “nullification,” and Republicans have begun using it to paralyze large swaths of the government. The normal presidential recourse against hardened opposition to an executive branch nominee is to make the appointment when Congress is out of session, but Republicans closed off that avenue as well, by holding pro forma sessions year-round. If it held up, this would give Congress enormous power over the president – allowing it to unilaterally halt any agency it likes in return for any demand at all. They have likewise refused to confirm any directors at all to the National Labor Relations Board, denying the agency a quorum and essentially halting the enforcement of federal labor law.

So Obama tried the audacious and legally indeterminate move of simply declaring the pro-forma session a sham, insisting Congress really was on recess, and appointing his man. If it stands up to the likely legal challenge – the U.S. Chamber of Commerce is threatening to sue – Obama will have taken a dangerous new weapon out of Congress’s hands. Obama’s maneuver may stand, or it may lead to a further reform of the confirmation process. But allowing Congress to functionally eliminate full-passed laws simply by denying the president any appointments to carry them out is a dangerous precedent that Obama would be derelict if he allowed to stand."

Obama doesn't speak to the Republicans. He makes no effort to negotiate anything. He just says they are the party of No and goes from there.

He doesn't even talk to the Dems. He calls it a do nothing congress.....that's house and senate. The name of the game is working at finding common ground and somthing to agree on. He's not working at anything except griping & complaining and being a bully.

There's only one problem and it's him.
