President Barack Obama Weekly Address, “We Need a Government That Lives Within Its Means”

File this one under, YOU HAVE GOT TO BE JOKING!!!

In this weeks Presidential address, Barack Obama actually had the audacity to say the following … “We need a government that lives within its means.” This is actually comical coming from Barack Obama. How about this president start by providing the perception to common every day Americans that he and his wife are sacrificing?

Just as both parties cooperated on tax relief that is now fueling job growth, we need to come together around a budget that cuts spending without slowing our economic momentum.  We need a government that lives within its means without sacrificing job-creating investments in education, innovation, and infrastructure.

 We need a government that lives within its means, is this guy serious? Since when did this president care about preventing government spending? Obviously Obama did not take his own advice inthis years $1.65 trillion budget. More from the  Gateway Pundit:

Barack Obama tripled the national deficit in his first year in office. In his second year the deficit was again a record $1.29 Trillion. This year the deficit will be even higher.

58% of Americans Favor Government Shutdown Over Spending at Current Levels

Once again President Barack Obama and Democrats are on the wrong side of the issue and against the  American people.

A recent Rasmussen polls states that 58% of registered voters favor a government shutdown rather than Barack Obama and the Democrats choice of current government spending levels. Just 33% are in favor of Congress avoid a government shutdown by authorizing spending at the same levels as last year. Democrats find them selves on the wrong side of the American people as 80% of Republicans, but most importantly 59% of voters not affiliated with either major party believe a shutdown is a better option until the two sides can agree on spending cuts.

As Republicans and Democrats in Congress haggle over the budget, most voters would rather have a partial shutdown of the federal government than keep its spending at current levels.

A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that just 33% of Likely U.S. Voters would rather have Congress avoid a government shutdown by authorizing spending at the same levels as last year. Fifty-eight percent (58%) says it’s better to have a partial shutdown until Democrats and Republicans can agree on what spending to cut. (To see survey question wording, click here.)

Rasmussen Poll: Barack Obama Back to 44% Approval Rating … Back Where He Started

The Obama job approval bounce appears to be gone …

According to the most recent Rasmussen poll, President Barack Obama’s job approval rating has come back to Earth and presentlly stands at 44%. His Daily Presidential Tracking Poll is also now at 18%. So why the free-fall back to poll numbers prior to the 2010 midterm elections? The answer could be his lack of leadership on the federal budget. Obama commission a Debt Reduction Commission and then took none of their suggestions. Could it also be the premature involvement in the Wisconsin state budget battle?

Back Where We Started …

Then again it might be, what also will be the #1 issue for the 2012 election, jobs and the economy. Lurking in the wings for Obama is the ever rising gas prices.

Wisconsin: RINO Senator Dale Schultz Offers Compromise to Undercut Gov. Walker’s Budget Cutting Plans

Wonder why states wind up in such bad budget shape, it’s not just because of Democrats … add RINO’s to the list as well.

RINO ALERT!  So called-moderate Wisconsin state Senator Dale Schultz buckles as he floats a compromise that would undermine Governor Walker’s budget.  Difficult times call for difficult choices and isn’t it pathetic that RINO’s would cave. Maybe Mr. Schultz would like to go into hiding with the rest of the “fleebaggers”?

The proposal, written by Sen. Dale Schultz and first floated in the Republican caucus early last week, calls for most collective bargaining rights of public employee unions to be eliminated – per Mr. Walker’s bill – but then reinstated in 2013, said Mr. Schultzs’s chief of staff Todd Allbaugh.

“Dale is committed to find a way to preserve collective bargaining in the future,” said Mr. Allbaugh in a telephone interview.

What is wrong with Republicans? Do they not understand when they are in the driver’s seat? There was an election in 2010 that swept the GOP into power in Wisconsin, including the election of Gov. Walker. The people knew what he was running on. As stated by Hugh Hewitt, Walker knows that he may never have more power than he does right now; however, there are weak-kneed Republicans that don’t appear to have the stomach to do the right thing.

The Gateway Pundit has the Senator’s contact info so to give him a piece of your mind.
