65% of American Voters Don’t Believe For a Second That Obama Will Cut Spending

Fools us once shame on you.
Fool us over and over for two and a half years shame on us.
65% of voters don’t expect government to cut spending before 2012.
Rasmussen reported:
President Obama is expected to lay out his long-term deficit-cutting plan in a speech to the nation tonight, but most voters feel the president and Republicans in Congress are unlikely to agree on major spending cuts before next year’s elections. They also aren’t confident either side will come up with a serious plan to begin with.
A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that just 31% think it is at least somewhat likely that the president and congressional Republicans will reach an agreement to significantly cut long-term government spending trends before the 2012 elections. That includes six percent (6%) who say it’s Very Likely. Sixty-five percent (65%) say the two sides are unlikely to reach such an agreement, with 21% who believe it’s Not At All Likely. (To see survey question wording, click here.)
Sixty-one percent (61%) of the Political Class think an agreement is likely. Seventy-six percent (76%) of Mainstream voters disagree.
This is really no surprise.
Obama doesn’t exactly have a stellar record with cutting spending.

Yeah he will turn things around all right, but not in a positive way. Gas is now over four bucks a gallon. What else do I have to give up while the Won is spending money as ast as it’s printed.

Your an F-ing idiot. Obama is just as complicite. He voted FOR TARP as a senator.
powder is dry
Jennifer commented:
Well I do believe he will continue to cut things the same way he tells us how to get better gas mileage(you know by inflating tires to proper levels)…he is a shell game of flowery and often nonsensical words that tickle people into feeling good that we elected him but do nothing but radical change America.
mercador commented:
Why don’t we tell the truth. Zero does not care about spending our money and he will not stop until someone cuts the purse strings. Now I do not know who that will be, but the House has not shown that it has the intestinal fortitude and thats what it will take and a lot of praying.
RS commented:
Actually you could have stopped with “Don’t believe Obama”.
I trust NOTHING this man says.
Zero.
Chisum commented:
He starts off with the Clinton surplus lie and doubles down with “we were prepared to be debt-free in 2000″.
Ergo, the debt is Bush’s fault!
Jayne on the left coast commented:
OT OMG just turned on TV and there he is telling ME to live with in my means. He is a total p@# b$$%%!!!!!! I have no more means to live with in. Can’t freaking believe this piece of crap is ruining my country. I just want to cry.

Come on troll, defend zero’s policies. Do it.
Ya can’t, your just a monkey in a zoo throwing it’s own poo.

Are 35% of Americans teachers, journalists and certified insane people?

#2 – Please wake up.
Barry has had 2-1/2 years in which he has accomplished implementing numerous bad polices, starting with ObamaCare. He has been very busy patting himself on the back while the American way of life for hardworking middle class families are circling the drain. He should be impeached but our spineless Congress will not take a stand. So this is what we have UNTIL 2012.
Obama is speaking on t.v. right now (yes, again). He is schooling us on economics and how we got here. He is speaking in a university setting, go figure. He continues to complement himself endlessly on his, to quote: “finely honed political instincts.” Please.
Barry it’s time you shut up and sit down.
Militant Conservative commented:
#13 Obama does have very good political instincts, he has gotten everything he wanted in the first two years while blaming all of his policies damage on BUSH.
The master of disaster is on his own now. At least the house will slow down the socialist in the WH.
The democrat party is now afraid to dump Obama as he will turn on them with the evil racist card. Dem party is stuck with this terd as the front man for the Dem party.

@ #2
Brother are you serious, you still running with that?
greg commented:
- Donald Trump could use his previous tv employment to drive down the deficit now,,,,by making a campaign pledge to fire all first and second level career bureaucrats that have exceeded the congress approved budgets and continuing resolutions for their functions. That would hold them accountable to the point they would resist the political appointees who are accountable to no one. All the deficit is about lack of accountability.
YOU ARE FIRED CAREER BUREAUCRAT FOR ALLOWING OVERSPENDING. Doesnt that sound good!!!!!

Another year with Barry at the helm, and the hammer and sickle will fly over D.C., along with the banner of the New Black Panther party.
Another year with Barry at the helm, and we will see blood in the streets of our cities, as he feverishly fans the flames of class (read “racial”) warfare.
Another year with Barry at the helm, and we will totally cease oil drilling. After all, $5/gal isn’t so bad, eh, and, besides, I’ll just trade my SUV for a Volt.
Another year with Barry at the helm…I could go on and on.

I doubt Ovomit & his band of brigands will leave the White House een when spanked at the polls in Nov. 2012. The obumunists believe they are the anointed chosen to rule the ignorant clingers because of their superior inellect.

Not much of a stellar record for telling the truth either.
