Fiscal Cliff, Taxes, Majority of Americans
Obama Arrogant and Narcisstic As Usual

On Friday, November 09, 2012, FoxNews published online “Obama holds firm to tax hikes as he invites Hill leaders to talks on ‘fiscal cliff’” In which Barack Obama, was in full puffery and arrogant narcissism three days after somehow managing to completely fool the polls by fixing a victory in the face of oft-predicted landslide proportions of defeat.
The arrogance was highly evident as Obama claimed his election was a vindication of his fiscal policy. Then he added this bit of self-puffery, “I refuse to accept any approach that isn’t balanced,”. “This was a central question during the election ... and on Tuesday night, we found out that a majority of Americans agree with my approach.”
The second part of that last sentence “we found out that a majority of Americans agree with my approach” is praise undeserved but seemingly routine for this self-loving egoist. There was NO majority of Americans agreeing with his approach.
A majority of Americans, with our population currently standing at 314+ million people (not counting the many millions of illegal aliens or non registered or undocumented foreigners, would be 157+million persons; the most recent total tally for Obama is slightly over 60 million votes - a far cry from that 157+ million majority. (In fact, only about 38 percent of a majority!)
He just can’t stop lying. He is so used to not telling the truth or hiding anything that is correct such as his place of birth; his true parents; his scholastic records; his international travel and passport records; his social security records and so on. If any normal citizens of the U. S. did that they would be incarcerated until the truths were made known; apparently messiahs or disciples of Allah are exempt from such trivialities.
Getting back to his post-election statement above declaring, “I refuse to accept any approach that isn’t balanced” you can bet that he will expect the other Party to accept any unbalanced approach that he puts on the table. It’s just his way. And he will also declare his intentions of demanding bipartisanship cooperation from the other Party that contain absolute submission to HIS way of proceeding. Bipartisanship to liberal Democrats means, “We will do it MY way.”
That is post election victory arrogance and issuing demands from a very weak position of not having a majority rule in the House of Representatives and a still slim and shaky 4 or possibly 5 vote majority in the Senate, five or six votes shy of control of that body, unless some typical sneaky and underhanded liberal tricks are somehow enacted on one-Party rule.
And as FoxNews.com reported, “At the same time, a group of Senate Democrats pressed a new set of fiscal cliff demands that would include significantly more taxes to pay for more stimulus as part of any budget deal.”
Did you notice the words, “more taxes” and “more stimulus” in that statement? Can you believe MORE STIMULUS? You remember that initiative that Obama forced down our throats in 2009 when he had control of the entire Congress and blew billions upon billions of giveaway dollar programs that produced NO jobs but only richer, fatter and meaner, corrupt labor unions? Didn’t you just know that if he won reelection that word STIMULUS would be up there as rewards to those shady groups that helped rig voting machines to produce Obama’s victory.
Just be thankful that the conservative control of the House of Representatives; that is the chamber where the MONEY is managed. Those members will be bludgeoned with various threats by the liberal Democrats and the corrupt unions and other groups, but they will hold firm against wasteful spending without serious budget cuts without tax increases.
The proposed liberal Democrat tax increases are set to kick in this coming January unless derailed by the House conservatives, which could save “a family of four making roughly $75,000 another $3,200 in more taxes next year”, according to the Tax Foundation as reported by FoxNews.com.
So if you are oblivious to hard times and difficulties for the next four years (if Obama lets us live that long) with the same sort of harangue heard for the past four years, then thank your neighborhood liberal Democrat for his/her part in returning the worst president in the history of our once proud republic to office. And if that neighbor says Obama did so many praise-worthy things during his first term, ask him/her to name just ONE GOOD THING HE DID FOR THE COUNTRY.
Don’t hold your breath waiting for an answer or cover your ears if you don’t like lies.
