The man is a protectionist liberal like the democrats of the fifties and sixties that bowed to the union kingpins while throwing money at the military industrial complex and at every conceivable welfare program.

If you can't cut out Obamaphones you can't cut government at all. He said this weekend there will be no welfare entitlement cuts.

I disagree with him.

That said, I'm watching it play out.

I already knew he wasn't conservative like me.

Forgive my ignorance but I thought social programs were typically funded at the state level. Unless you mean Medicare and social security.

So much faith in a man that gives two shits about your conservative beliefs. He's from a family of capitalist liberals that got rich off goby contracts and deals.

Federal dollars pass through state budgets for things like food stamps and Medicaid. It is nonetheless federal.

But your ignorance as startling as it may be is forgiven.

So let's wait a tad before completely going overboard.

They're actually Bush phones but don't let facts get in the way of your rant

Yep, let's piss off the black community before the next election. Sounds politically sound...Can we give him more than a month to figure things out. Geez.

If not now when???

He is like LBJ throwing money at welfare and the military while calling for higher taxes through tariffs.

Lot of impatience on here for a little more than a month into office. Just a question but do you really think that all candidates vying for president actually have plans written in stone before they're elected exactly to how they are going to do things the first month or two into their admin?

Bush started the lifeline program? Seems like an alternative fact...

I had to look up wth an obamaphone was. Amazing the amount of free shite our government gives out. Why can't these just be regular landlines?

Anyone have any idea what kind of phone they get?

Oh. It's not faith.

I do disagree with him.

But, I'm 50. I've watched one president after another do it basically by the numbers.

So. I like to think I'm a thoughtful and pretty smart guy.

But, I'm hoping that maybe there are other "numbers" that might work

So that's why he's so popular in the South and pockets of the rust belt.

By definition, my responses in this thread contradict that assertion.
