Lawmakers call for Obama 'leadership' on averting defense cuts, tax hikes

[FUZO]

TweetWith the nation teetering on a "fiscal cliff" and no end in sight to the sluggish economy, President Obama is facing fresh and growing accusations that he's "MIA" on a looming catastrophe that "requires presidential leadership."

Tweeti dont see why everyone is supprised that this is his solution. democrats have done this every single time they take office and their solution to funding problems is to cut the defense budget. sad thing is the defense budget is a tiny fraction of the budget.

TweetThis is not a democrat or republican issue. None of the issues are... The whole system has become systematically corrupted...
Romney is not going to serve us any better or worse... The American public has said via the democratic powers of voting that Ron Paul, our only legitimate chance for significant difference, is not suitable. This bi party fighting is done with a purpose... To polarise you and me to one side or the other. So we can stay blindly upset with eachother over gay rights... Or what ever other polarising non issue. It prevents us from looking at the real problems that have been buried by decades of our political machine.

Tweeti completely agree with you and think that we should clean out the whole freaking clan. but allowing them to say hey look at the money i am saving by cutting the defense budget(which democrats are famous for) when it is such a small percentage of the budget is just absurd. on top of that allowing extensions on unemployment and welfare with not one of the majority of those people making an honest effort to get a job. our system is screwed period

TweetWhat about the Republican approach to tax breaks for corporations citing the trickle down economics. This hasn't been working out very well.

honestly they both suck balls. that is the bottom line. we need to get everyone of them out of office and start over clean. maybe go back to the old days of they meet when needed and then work normal jobs like everyone else does. cut their pay and let them work. bet that would cut down on a ton of spending but then again they would find a way to corrupt that as well

TweetThe corruption in Washington is what is ruining this country. Did you see that lobbyist on 60 minutes talking about how he would get some senator 28 Prime seats to Washington Redskin games, free trips on a yacht, trips to Europe, all in order to secure the senators vote on pertinent legislation? This lobbyist also owned a restaurant in DC and would let all the politicians drink there for free, just as long as they voted the right way. Said that every night after work, the bar was flooded with congressman and women getting sauced for free. Our politicians all have a price and most are bought off. Thats why anymore, it doesnt matter who you vote for because they are all corrupt.
