What’s Another $1.2 Trillion … Obama Makes Official Request that Congress Raise the Debt Ceiling to more than $16 Trillion

And the Barack Obama spending keeps on coming … UNPATRIOTIC!

It’s official, President Barack Obama asks for the debt ceiling to be raised by another $1.2 trillion. Good grief, will the spending never stop? where is the fiscal discipline from this President, where is the leadership to take on the ridiculous National Debt and go after entitlement programs and wasteful DC spending that are bankrupting America?

The Gateway Pundit reminds us of when Barack Obama called raising the national debt irresponsible and unpatriotic when GWB raised the debt by $4 trillion in 8 years. What does Obama say about the $8 trillion he has increased it by in less than 4 years? Hmm? Talk about your Obama hypocrisy.

President Obama on Thursday made an official request that Congress raise the debt ceiling by $1.2 trillion over the objections of several House Republicans.

Obama’s formal notification gives both chambers 15 days to vote on whether to approve the hike. The House plans to vote on this request on Jan. 18, a spokeswoman for House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.) said.

The United States reached the $15.194 trillion debt limit on Jan. 4, according to Treasury statements. Since that time, Treasury has employed the “extraordinary measure” of tapping into its Exchange Stabilization Fund to avoid exceeding the limit.

The White House agreed not to make an official request to raise the debt ceiling until now so that Congress could vote on the matter.

The United States cannot afford another 4 years of Barack Obama … the 2012 cannot come fast enough.

Hope & Change for the Youth: A Meager 55% of Americans Between Ages 16 and 29 Have Jobs

The Youth has lost that Luvin’ Feeling …

A question to the youth of America that supported and campaigned for Barack Obama in 2008 … Hows that “Hopey, Changey” stuff working out for ya?  In 2008 the youth of America blindly followed the promises, rhetoric and bumper sticker slogans of Obama propelling him into office and actually believing that  “we are the ones that we have been waiting for.”

From 2008 to present day, the American youth has learned an inconvenient truth, Obama’s promise of hope, change and jobs was BS. They were repaid for their actions with no jobs. Talk about a buzz kill for any Obama reelection effort.  The youth will most likely stay home when it comes to Obama’s reelection and on election day. Presently, only 55% of Americans between the ages of 16 and 29 have jobs. As stated by Weasel Zippers, the economic train wreck rolls on.

In 2008, the youth vote helped sweep Barack Obama into office.  Americans 18-29 spread the word on social media, energized fundraising and went to the polls.

In 2012, the youth vote is moving on and throwing those omnipresent “Hope” bumper stickers and t-shirts in garbage bins.

Not because of apathy.  Not because another candidate generates more enthusiasm.  Not because of his character.  Not because they think voting is pointless.  The 18-29 vote is up for grabs in 2012 because youth can’t afford cars to put bumper stickers on and those t-shirts are worn out from too many days sitting on the couch unemployed.

Obama used these kids naivety in 2008 and since has done little to nothing to help the energetic, grass roots youth. Not only are barely 50% employed, earlier this year, Americans’ student loan debt surpassed credit card debt for the first time ever. Not to mention the continued increase in debt will be the responsibility you today’s and tomorrows youth. So what do the millennials say … NO BAMA! According to a recent Pew Research Center poll, only 49% of millennial voters approve of Barack Obama, down a whopping 23 points from February 2009.

But while 18-to-29 year-old Americans are reliable Democrats, their enthusiasm for Obama and presidential politics has waned, setting the stage for an uphill struggle to turn out the vote.

Forty-nine percent of millennial voters approve of Obama, according to the Pew Research Center, down 23 points from February 2009.  They are also the least interested in or engaged with the current campaign, the study found.

Only 17 percent of millennials said they are following election news closely, while just 13 percent said they’ve given a lot of thought to the candidates, a 15 point drop from the same period four years ago.

Solyndra & Barack Obama … Politics Dominated Obama Energy Programs Not Job Creation

America, how’s that “Hopey, Changey” green jobs working out for you?

Obama’s partisan politics as the MSM covers up a damning story under the cloak of Christmas. As you were celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ, opening presents, spending time with family … the Washington Post put out a story regarding Barack Obama, Solyndra and Obama’s energy program that was nothing more than politics. This brought to you from the President who promised every one “Hope & Change”. Obama promised America change, he gave us more of the same. Obama promised jobs and he gave us partisans politics. Solyndra was billed by Obama as the “shining green company on the hill” … it was nothing more than politics.

There was only so much that government could do,
the true engine of economic growth will always be companies like Solydra

“It’s not about the people; it’s politics,” said Sterio, who remains jobless and at risk of losing her home. “We all feel betrayed.”

Since the failure of the company, Obama’s entire $80 billion clean- technology program has begun to look like a political liability for an administration about to enter a bruising reelection campaign.

Meant to create jobs and cut reliance on foreign oil, Obama’s green-technology program was infused with politics at every level, The Washington Post found in an analysis of thousands of memos, company records and internal ­e-mails. Political considerations were raised repeatedly by company investors, Energy Department bureaucrats and White House officials.

The records, some previously unreported, show that when warned that financial disaster might lie ahead, the administration remained steadfast in its support for Solyndra.

Obama Blames Hawaii for His ‘Deep Down’ Laziness, What Not George W. Bush?

I do not remember the promise of “Hope and Change” including laziness.

BREAKING NEWS!!! For the first since Barack Obama was elected President in 2008, Obama has blamed something else other than former President George W. Bush for his situation.Seems that Obama blames his laziness on Hawaii. The admission of Obama’s laziness was outed during an sit down with Barbara Walters for a 20/20 interview. Um, Obama just admitted that he is lazy? Just what we need, no wonder he cares not whether any one ever works again, its his “deep down” laziness coming out.

The personality trait President Obama says he most deplores in himself and others is not exactly one you’d expect from, presumably, one of the busiest people in the world: laziness.

“You’re lazy?” Barbara Walters incredulously asked Obama, sitting alongside the first lady, in an interview scheduled to air on Friday night but previewed ahead of time.

“It’s interesting…. Deep down underneath all the work I do, I think there’s a laziness in me,” Obama said. “It’s probably from growing up in Hawaii, and it’s sunny outside. Sitting on the beach.

Great, America on only elected a socialist, they elected a lazy President as well. Does America really need a lazy President?

UPDATE I: With regards to the interview, GEEZ, to borrow a line form the 80′s and Valley Girls and Moon Unit Zappa, “barf me out, gag me with a spoon”. Or as News Busters referred to it as “a slobbering interview”. This was not an interview, it was an inframercial for Obama’s reelection campaign. Could we ever expect such a softball interview if it were a Republican President or GOP candidates? HARDLY!!! Full VIDEO and transcript can be seen at News Busters.

Barbara Walters, who famously asked Katherine Hepburn what type of tree she was, may have outdone herself in a slobbering interview with Michelle and Barack Obama. In previews of Friday’s “20/20″ segment, Walters asked the President, “If you were a superhero and you could have one super power, what would it be?”

BTW, of Walters had asked Obama what type of tree would he be … his response would have been the Umbrella Acaia tree of course. Think about it.

Venezuela Leader Hugo Chávez Calls President Barack Obama a “clown” and an “embarrassment”

You’ve Lost that Luvin’ Feeling … When Socialists Attack One Another.

It would seem that the previous hand shakes between Venezuela’s Hugo Chávez and President Barack Obama has done little to change the South American dictators view of the United States or its leaders.From the files of, even a blind squirrel finds an acorn once in a while, comes the following comments from Chavez blasting Obama as being a “clown” and an “embarrassment”. Chavez further commented and said that Obama should take care of his own house and focus on America, which Obama has turned into a disaster.

Hugo Chávez blasted President Barack Obama as a “clown” and an “embarrassment” who has turned the United States into a “disaster” after Obama criticized Venezuela’s ties with Iran and Cuba, according to a report Tuesday.

Chávez’s comments came in the wake of Obama’s Monday written interview with the Caracas paper El Universal, where the U.S. president questioned Venezuela’s connections to those countries. Chávez hit back strongly at Obama on state TV Monday, according to The Guardian, saying the president gave the interview only to “win votes” in the 2012 election.

“Mr. Obama decided to attack us,” Chávez said. “Now you want to win votes by attacking Venezuela. Don’t be irresponsible. You are a clown, a clown. Leave us in peace … Go after your votes by fulfilling that which you promised your people.”

“Focus on governing your country, which you’ve turned into a disaster,” Chávez said, according to The Guardian.

Interesting use of words, “Focus on governing your country, which you’ve turned into a disaster.” Which means that the country was not a disaster prior to Obama turning it into one. Hmm.  How bad is it for Obama and his actions, when Hugo Chavez actually makes a valid point and makes sense about a sitting American President, “We the People” have a serious problem.
