Obama Tells GOP to Stop Scare Tactics As Dems Agree to Blow Billions More on Another Failed Jobs Creation Plan
Posted by Jim Hoft on Wednesday, December 9, 2009, 12:13 PM
More Hope and Change…
Barack Obama told GOP leaders to stop with the scare tactics today at a rare bipartisan meeting on the dems latest jobs creation legislation.
Obama and Democrats tripled the national deficit in less than one year.
They’ve increased the national debt to $12 Trillion.
Obama promised his stimulus plan would create 3.7 million new jobs.
Instead America has lost 3.6 million jobs.
Now they want to try it again…
And they are upset that Republicans are not backing their toxic plans to spend their way out of this economic downturn.
The Hill reported:
President Barack Obama told House Republican leaders to “stop trying to frighten the American people” even as he and Democrats said they see a possibility for bipartisan cooperation on job creation legislation.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) told reporters that Obama made the admonition during a bipartisan meeting at the White House on Wednesday, producing a chart to show Republicans that “things are a lot better.”
Reid and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said there was broad agreement on their side of the aisle about how to create jobs by aiding small businesses and boosting infrastructure spending. Pelosi said she thinks on those issues, “it’s possible for us to find some common, bipartisan ground.”
But moments later, Republicans made it clear that they want to see a “spending freeze” and a “no-cost” jobs plan that consists largely of tax cuts.
“We can’t keep spending money we don’t have,” House Minority Whip Eric Cantor (R-Va.) said.
House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio) pushed back on Obama’s request for an end to Republicans’ scare tactics by saying that Obama’s policies have led to a hiring freeze, and the GOP is simply telling constituents what is happening.
“The president wants to blame us for informing the American people and how this will affect them,” Boehner said.
…Despite the GOP opposition, Democratic leaders seemed optimistic they can move quickly on a jobs bill that contains much of what the president outlined in a speech Tuesday.
Just last week Barack Obama told the American public that government spending was not the answer.

Remember Obammys comments “The stimulus is working as I envisioned” Come on folks he wants to distroy America and in the process become a dictator.
IOpian commented:
President Obama… most of us, unlike your mindless followers, do not await instruction on what to think. Just watching you pose as someone who knows what he is doing scares the hell out of any thinking person.

Obama invokes politics of fear over scare tactics
King Obama commented:
Quit scaring people with the truth. If y’all jes be quiet and take a lotta drugs everything be all right.

Someone call the WAAAAAAAHbulance and tell them to go to 1600 Pennsylvania Ave..
The wheels are falling off the Obamawagon and the narcissist-in-chief boy dictator can’t handle it.
Memo to Obamao and the Corruptocrats:
It isn’t the GOP, Rush, Beck, Palin or Fox news that is frigening the American people.
It is you.
They are beginning to realize that everything we tried to tell them would happen if they stupidly voted for you is true.
Just remember…
First comes fear.
Then comes anger.
pagar commented:
I can’t imagine anyone in America that is capable of putting 2 plus 2 together and getting 4 who doesn’t realize that Obama is the scariest thing that has happened to America since it was founded.

Let me see if I understand here. The dems are mad that the Republicans are telling the truth to constituents about the state of the economy and the damage being done by the government. This is called scare tactics. The dems are also mad that the Republicans are telling the truth to constituents about the lies of the left in regard to global warming. The lies of the left are scaring the public into making disastrous economic decisions and yet that is a public service.

Wonder how much infrastructure will be done during the winter months. Good timing!
Had these idiots actually spent money on infrastructure, instead paying off their special interest groups, maybe Porkulus I would have actually done some good. Otherwise, EPIC FAIL!
spayandneuter commented:
Don’t live within your budget.
Spend money you have to borrow.
When money comes in, don’t pay off the money borrowed but spend it on something else.
Those of us who are older know this isn’t right, but this is the message that the gov’t is sending to the younger generations. Gee, why do I have to make a mortgage or car payment, I’ll just spend my money on jewelry or clothes!! That’s what Hopeychangey does so it must be OK.

WHat money?
Does Obama have the idea that every penny in America is undeserved, taken thru slavery even though ended 145 years ago, so he’s giving away everything America owns?
Till it disappears?
His associates sure talk like that, from Rev. Wright, Van Jones thru William “Robespierre” Ayers.
Alaskan commented:
Ha, scare the people!!??
How long ago was it when the Democrats/Liberals were saying ‘thousands of people are dying everyday because they don’t have health insurance’……and the all time favorite scare tactic ‘Vote or Die’.
Obama, being a Marxist knows….you can control people but you can’t control emotion.
Mike in VA commented:
Obama accuses Republicans of doing exactly what the Demorats have been doing for months. Saul Alinsky would be proud…
anonymous commented:
It is Obama’s and the Democratic Congress fault! They will lose the election big in 2010 and 2012.
gus commented:
Take 5 seconds of your day to think about exactly who Obama’s and Libtards CONSTITUENTS are.
They aren’t capitalists. They aren’t successful. They aren’t independent. They aren’t personally responsible for themselves.
Each of Obama’s and Libtards constituencies are DEPENDENT on GOVERNMENT.
I am not.

It’s time for the American people to put “the fear” into Chairman Obama and his cadre of maggots and cockroaches.

Aside from military duty, about the only thing I’ve EVER been truly AFRAID OF is sitting in the White House and is the “On-The-Job-Training” president wannabe!
If you dig a ditch so deep you can’t get out, STOP DIGGING! If you miscalculate your checkbook balance and bounce a check, you make a DEPOSIT. You don’t write more checks!
China – still considered a “developing nation” – holds more than 800 billion dollars worth of pretty much worthless paper, issued by the Fraud In Chief over the past 11 months. So, what does he want to do now? That’s right….borrow a few billion MORE.
Quit Digging, Mr. President. You in way over your head now.
gus commented:
Obama is as far as Affirmative Action can take you.
He has been told how smart and “clean” he is all his life. He acknowledged that he knew how to fool and manipulate whitey.
So here he is. King of the hill, A-number one, top of the heap.
And he is a complete fux up. No one left to pat him on the head. He is the President.
So the Nobel Committee lix his balls, and he was awarded a Grammy.
Still no accomplishments, still no leadership, no new idea’s.
He’s a fux up. Always has been always will be.
He has lies, he has deception, he has lawyers and more lawyers to hide his past. The Media still fawns. And Opie steps all over his little dix.
No talent.
No brains.
No idea’s.
No competence.
No leadership,
Just a Chicago thug with connections.
No Man commented:
No man thinks Obama should STFU.
Noi Man thinks David Dinkins is more qualified than the kenyan pooser in chief. Mainly bc he is a self-made duffuss.
mrt721 commented:
Another $200-300 Billion.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but,
wasn’t one of the MAIN selling points
of the porkulus bill
“infrastructure and shovel-ready jobs”?
Why, yes, I believe it was.
BruceC commented:
“Shut up!”, he explained…
Atomic Lib Smasher commented:
Trig Palin was more qualified for President than OBummer.
And this whole “shovel ready” jobs. A lot of Americans don’t work in construction. What about IT, healthcare, manufacturing, and retail jobs that need filled? I guess they’re not considered “shovel ready” other than the fact they might as well use the shovel to pour over the graves of these dead jobs.
Jo commented:
Bozo is an atheist and believes he is god. He has the lowest ratings of any president at this time in the presidency.

Darth Sideous: “Everything is proceeding as I have foreseen.”
sounds familiar?
befuddled commented:
amen, finally someone said it. what the hell is so damn important about “shovel ready” jobs and infrastructure. isn’t this why we have increasing toll charges and state taxes and gas taxes and existing federal funds to upkeep our bridges and roads? is there any union fat cats this obama isn’t in bed with?
let’s not have a crisis go to waste. next for the wrecking ball is healthcare jobs and the energy sector.
why did people vote for this clown? during the campaign,when the big issue was skyrocketing gas prices, he thought properly inflated tires was the best idea since sliced bread. seriously, how out of touch is this guy.
Freddy commented:
The insane spending will continue until these people are removed from office.
The democrats realize the spending binge will be ending in Jan, 2011. Look for all sorts of money to be pushed into as many of their political friends as possible between now and then. A large last minute splurge AFTER they lose the 2010 election is also in the comming.
This is NOT about doing anything good for the country, it is simply about lining the pockets of their friends and, of course, themselves!
