Oh, now I see the light. President Obama is being SERIOUS...Unlike us frivolous clowns on The Left

[Armstead]

Watching a few of the President's spokespeople I get it. I was sooooooooo wrong. As were you other malcontents.

This is why I don't understand why it's okay to cut the income of struggling seniors, the disabled and anyone who depends on meager SS payments.

President Obama is SERIOUS. He's REALLY SERIOUS about taming the budget and getting those horrible deficits in line. He's serious. Serious. Serious.

His budget is really really serious.

Forgive the repetition, but that's what the WH keeps reiterating. He's serious. This is a serious proposal. The Republicans MUST respond favorably because this is a serious proposal.

I guess all those people who are going to face even tougher choices about how to stretch their checks to eat or, God forbid, heat their home aren't serious.

Those who claim to care about them are just kidding around.

1. We MUST compromise with sociopaths. That's how he's serious.

After all, dealing with sociopaths is serious business.

[kentuck]

2. But this was not his "ideal" plan...

we were told.

[Armstead]

3. Oh right...It's really serious but it's not ideal.

[n2doc]

4. He has become a Very Serious Person, in Krugmanspeak

Fully a denizen of the beltway.

[Armstead]

7. Yup....The "adults" who have totally screwed up this country

[Jade Fox]

5. He's serious about trying to make those who hate him like him.

It's really so pathetic.

[Dragonfli]

6. Everyone knows the only way to prove seriousness is to kick old folks, disabled, kids or puppies!

Spray napalm on an old, disabled lady curled up with a kitteh a puppy and her impoverished grandchildren and they'll REALLY know how serious you are!

[Moostache]

13. Don't give them ideas...

They may just decide to save some time, throw a puppy and a kitten on the 79-yr old grandma in OK who protested the XL Pipeline (also a "serious" project for those of us not in the know) and wait for the inevitable spill to take them all.

[Progressive dog]

8. Us frivolous clowns know the difference between right and wrong

Us frivolous clowns are sick of having food, healthcare, and shelter for most of us equated with luxuries for the wealthy. That is just wrong.
The President needs to understand that us clowns are serious too.

[just1voice]

9. The propaganda of the elite is serious alright, seriously designed to deceive

Watching them lie as they try to steal our retirements is despicable.

[neverforget]

10. I've been told I don't understand how Washington works and an emo from the

Palace Guards. But he wants to compromise a program that is essential to 10's of millions of Americans because he wants a deal with those who want to destroy the program and I'm the one who's fucked up?

Ugh.

[MNBrewer]

11. He's not just serious, he's SUPER SERIOUS.

[forestpath]

12. Yup. It's HARD WORK to screw over fragile seniors!

[maindawg]

14. its the old carrot on a stick trick

The President is not new. This is a way to demonstrate what he is dealing with to a certain demographic. The old timey rethugs who have been left out by the upstart hate frieks. Those guys are teetering on the brink. They just need a good loud thud to get them to come over to reality before its too late. The president knows that they tea baggers cannot come to his table. No way. He could bait them with million dollar bills. They cant come to the table because the president is a person of color. And that is all there is to it. They have to go, and 14 is next year. They must be exposed , and they must be dogged. [the dogging will come next] I cant wait for that. I love this President, he is thinking 25 moves ahead of the rest of us.

[Demeter]

18. I want some of whatever you're drinking

to use as herbicide....

[sulphurdunn]

20. OK

[sulphurdunn]

15. Since the election

of Ronald Reagan, and the Democrats taking the "Third Way" in response to that election, all of our presidents have been snakes in suits. The only real difference has been that the democratic serpents have been more charming and seductive than their rattling, coiled to strike opponents.

[UnrepentantLiberal]

16. .

[pangaia]

17. Just be thankful they aren't using the meme, 'BOLD!"

[Flying Squirrel]

19. He's as serious as a heart attack. n/t

[Egalitarian Thug]

21. A very serious and adult K&R. n/t

[Vincardog]

22. Not only that , he is Heli-Serious, er Series

[Jersey Devil]

23. He is wearing his serious AND courageous face

He wants to be recognized as a fearless leader who will do the tough stuff no one else will do so he's perfectly willing to toss some seniors onto ice floes to prove it.

[randome]

24. The Club For Grown is coming down on opponents of CCPI.

And Norquist is calling CCPI a 'tax increase'.

I doubt this was Obama's goal but Republicans are sure running about in circles and bumping into one another on this proposal. Which, by the way, does not get voted on in the Senate or the House or the House/Senate reconciliation committees.

[reformist2]

25. Is SERIOUS the new GRAVITAS? :rolleyes:

[bowens43]

26. He is serious! a serious threat to the poor , the middle class and the elderly......

Obama is trying to hurt my parents and in another decade, me.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

27. Tsk, Tsk. Caving to Republicans is very....audacious. Bold? Inspired? Or, SOP for this admin?

[Blue Owl]

28. How about you take a serious look at the party you're negotiating with.

The GOP? You want to "work with" these fucking greedy, insane, out-of-touch motherfuckers?

Hey when did GWB ever take the time to "work with" Democrats? Never.

[librechik]

29. serious would be downsizing the empire and treating Wall Street like the criminals they are

doing anything else just makes you another clown on the bus to destruction.

[neverforget]

30. He's really serious except it's not going to pass so that's why he proposed it

At least that's what I've been told.

[winter is coming]

31. I've noticed that serious people are allergic to making the sort of tough choices

that would have a significant affect on the 1%. We can go hungry, but dog forbid they lose their tax loopholes.
