Obama's strategy working

Can't you at least congratulate President Obama on another successful campaign to win the office of the presidency and wish him the best on Inauguration Day?

Crying like a baby and stomping your feet until you get your way is a strategy?

Can't beat up on his insane fiscal policies all of the time, just some of the time, or at least, most of the time, but not all of the time.

Not on Inauguration Day.

Obama's tax and spend is not the issue, he is a tool for the financial elite. It is made to look like he is in charge, people feel comfortable, when he is really just a puppet. A charade.

That's why he's there.

Let the day be all red, white, and blue banners, flags flying everywhere, lots of merriment and let America party like it's 1999.

Tomorrow is ok to beat up on Obama's insane fiscal polices though, so have at it then too.

JByrd, I feel we can come together to agree that our Democrat Party promised to reduce spending if the debt limit was increased......and we fooled them AGAIN. Dos Republicans never learn, do day, JByrd?

More Debt For Gifts

That is how I am beginning to live my life.

You young fools just dont understand the truth.In the 70's, cant remember what year?Becouse of budjet issues military pay and social security payments were delayed unless you had direct deposit (the banks backed the government)Believe me that this was not a good time for a young airman .So,The President is telling it like it is,no and's ,if's or but's about it.Tell congress we want jobs and not more lip service about how they feel about the President.

Article 1 Section 8. Read it.

Oh, That's the U. S. constitution.

It's short, and the words aren't too big either.

Irresponsible do nothing Congress had opportunities to work with President Obama, however we had two individuals who decided that politics were more important than policies and that is why we are where we are today. Obama doesn't have the checkbook the Congress has the checkbook! Obama didn't start the two wars and put them on the credit card did he! You can deny all you want but the debt is still there because of these two factors! Debt plus interest on the debt the Bush TAX cuts to not pay down the debt! Irresponsible Congressional Fiscal Policies Period!!!

Oh, PJinfinity's back. And in fine form. That "neanderthal" comment gets me every time. Ha Ha.

Worried: "Irresponsible do nothing Congress had opportunities to work with President Obama..."

If the words "work with" actually meant anything to anyone currently in Washington DC, this post might have had merit.

The President and fellow Democrats have been strong-arming the opposition since 2011.

"Work with" doesn't mean fall into lock-step. When it does, our country will be in bad shape. No more possibility for "dialogue" only "monologue" from the top.

"Stop quoting your laws, we have swords," said General Pompey.

"Stop quoting your stupid, useless, obsolete Constitution, we have money," said the financial elite.

There are no rules anymore.

Obama's strategy is working because it favors the pocketbooks of the Wall Street crooks.

The Minot Daily is too blind to see what it really is, along with the fools who voted for Obama.

This editorial is terribly flawed.. Two-thirds of the way down it asks "If Conservatives insist"..It should have said.. If Conservatives exist... and later.."portraying conservative lawmakes as irresponsible"..Well, we could certainly use some proof of that statement..Let's take the issue closer to home...If a state like ND needs federal monies to make ends meet is that fiscal conservative? If a state like ND is largely Republican, does that make them conservative? Where is the evidence of any state...or any specific party when it comes to being fiscally responsible? You can try to paint a tomato blue but it's still a tomato...And you can spend 560 Million dollars trying to sell the GOP as fiscally conservative and it just ain't so!!

"The danger to America is not just Barack Obama, but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the Presidency. It will be far easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to a depraved electorate willing to have such a man for their president. The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Obama, who is a mere symptom of what ails America . Blaming the prince of the fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince. The Republic can survive a Barack Obama, who is, after all, merely a fool. It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools, such as those who made him their president."

It's a partisan piece, to be sure, but something has to be done to curtail expenditures. Obama's answer appears to be to take out another line of credit to pay for those things that we can't afford on our household income alone. That's a very, very bad plan. I'm not a fan of either party, but someone has to draw a line somewhere. We can't simply keep borrowing, and there's not much you can do to increase total tax revenues. We are on the path to a greek-styled economic collapse if something doesn't change.

Really MDN? Nothing else going on today? No Inauguration day or MLK day?

Pathetic....

I would have thought you all would give the Obama hate a rest on inauguration day. More than once today I heard the "loyal opposition" make that sort of request. But no, not here. Here it is unrelenting. For the life of me I can't understand it. It's as if you all actually believe, as the Limpman says, that Obama wants to destroy the country. It's as if you believe he created the economic slow down(from the Senate) and decided to spend trillions of dollars just for the heck of it. (Bush's last budget had a deficit of $1.3T) What is this world class LIAR!!!! junk? A bully? Well he did sort of bully Bin Laden a little, but just once.

I've seen eleven Presidents and Obama got my vote twice. Oh, and here's something...Obama is the first Pres. since Eisenhower to get 51% twice. That's a majority, and I wouldn't call a majority of the American electorate fools. But that's just me, I'm not all distressed by his Presidency.
