"Deficit might shift priorities in short term, Obama says; Wants to fix Social Security and Medicare" by Lisa Wangsness, Globe Staff | January 12, 2009
WASHINGTON - President-elect Barack Obama said yesterday that the $1 trillion-plus deficit and ailing economy would force him to move slowly and scale back on his priorities in the short term, and that getting the country back in strong financial shape will require sacrifices from all Americans.
You expected something else?
Obama vowed to eventually get the deficit under control and make significant adjustments to expensive entitlement programs such as Social Security and Medicare, which will cost trillions as the baby boomer generations retire, though he did not offer any specific proposals.
"Everybody is going to have to give," he told host George Stephanopoulos in an interview yesterday on ABC's "This Week." "Everybody is going to have to have some skin in the game."
That include AID to ISRAEL and the END of the MONEY-SUCKING WARS and OCCUPATIONS on their behalf, bro'?
In the wide-ranging interview, taped Saturday at the Newseum in downtown Washington, Obama also sounded a cautionary note on how the first $350 billion of the financial rescue package had been spent and monitored, and he reiterated his pledge to close Guantanamo Bay but warned it would probably not happen in the first 100 days.
Why not? Just SIGN an ORDER and RELEASE those POOR, INNOCENT, TORTURED SOULS!!
The president-elect also defended his silence on Israel's attacks on Gaza, saying the volatility of the situation underscored the importance of having only one president speaking for the United States at a time. When Stephanopoulos remarked that some in the Arab world saw Obama's silence as callousness, Obama offered a passing word of sympathy and emphasized his commitment to brokering a Middle East peace settlement....
Next issue....
Obama also said he was disappointed with the way the Treasury Department spent and monitored the first $350 billion of the financial rescue package that Congress approved in October. He said he had ordered his team to come up with a more transparent way to track the money and that he plans to spend some of it on helping ordinary people facing foreclosure.
What a SLICK, DOUBLE-TALKING LIAR this guy is!! Holy Jesus!
Please see: Obama Drives the Bush Getaway Car
If he is SO DISAPPOINTED, why is he GIVING BUSH the SECOND HALF of the LOOT?
Next issue!
Obama emphasized his intent to close Guantanamo, which has become an international symbol of the Bush administration's perceived disregard for civil liberties in the war on terror, saying: "We will send a message to the world that we are serious about our values." But he said it would take time to determine where to put the detainees, particularly those who are dangerous but difficult to convict in court.
Huh? Well, maybe their is a FALSE-FLAGGING REASON they are "difficult to convict in court!" Pffft!
"Some of the evidence against them may be tainted, even though it's true," he said, adding that his challenge will be figuring out "how to balance creating a process that adheres to rule of law. . . . [but] doing it in a way that doesn't result in releasing people who are intent on blowing us up."
Since neither HE, nor the DemocraPs or Repuglicans seeming willing to tackle that BIG, STINKING, RANCID pile of FECES sitting in the middle of the room (the false-flag attack of 9/11 and "Al-CIA-Duh," readers), F*** 'EM!!!
You either FACE UP to the TRUTH about 9/11, or HATE YOU, HATE YOU, wouldn't want to date you!!!!!
Iran, Obama said, will be one of his administration's most serious and immediate challenges because of its support of Hamas and Hezbollah and its pursuit of nuclear weapons.
So what does ZioNazi jism taste like, 'bamer?
Obama, who was criticized by his rivals in the presidential race for advocating engagement with rogue nations, including Iran, said he would move quickly to articulate a policy that would place "new emphasis on respect and a new emphasis on being willing to talk but also a clarity about what our bottom lines are."
Translation: I'll do what my Zionist masters instruct.
Saturday marked the end of the first week Obama and his family spent in Washington since the election. They are temporarily staying at the Hay-Adams Hotel. He made headlines on Saturday when he went out for a hot dog at Ben's Chili Bowl, a beloved neighborhood landmark, with Washington Mayor Adrian Fenty, and later visited the Lincoln Memorial with his family.
Yesterday he marveled at how well his two girls were adjusting to their new school, Sidwell Friends. And he said that after considerable debate the family had decided to adopt either a Labradoodle or a Portuguese water dog from a shelter.
On the First Dog issue, he remarked with a smile, "This has been tougher than finding a commerce secretary."You know, I really don't give a crap about the personal shit and the family histories when PALESTINIANS and other Muslims are being MASSACRED by the SCORE every damn day!!!!
