Obama admits:

• "Well, we're out of money now..."

Yet today he says:

WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) -- The United States "will always be a triple-A country," President Barack Obama said Monday, rebutting a downgrade of the U.S. credit rating late Friday from Standard & Poor's. The U.S. should make adjustments to Medicare and wealthier individuals should pay "their fair share" to help close the U.S. budget deficit, Obama suggested. He also urged Congress to extend a payroll tax cut and prolong extended unemployment benefits to help grow the economy.

The legal citizenry and unemployed that want to work in this former republic quite honestly deserve better. Evict the crime syndicate posing as government. Yesterday!

I didnt vote for Obama, saw him for what he was- inexperienced , pliant puppet. But in all fairness, this disaster can NOT be laid on him. It has been brewing for 40 yrs and was designed to implode the way that it is. Yes, he hasnt helped things, but ANY Pres would be in his position now. The common denominator for 4 decades has been SEC, Sold out Congress, Treasury, FEDERAL RESERVE and the jewishRothschild Syndicate. LOOK THERE folks. Stop superficial blaming and cut to the core.

Post lobotomy case, dude. This presidency is so 'dog and pony show', I am getting more and more interested in the functional details of Codex Alimentaris. The U.S. is in 6 wars, the treasury and stock markets are being looted, 9-11, America's industry base is gutted, the U.S. is importing body parts from live political prisoners in China (to Rockefeller hospitals) U.S. Congressmen are sending staff people to Europe with brown paper bags to collect bribes from hedge fund offices.even his own land fraud concerning his Chicago residence, and our debt obligation keeps getting higher.
Obummer is out of every loop. They probably have him on Microsoft's new White House video game and he doesn't know it (speculation).

First Obama wanted higher taxes as a matter of fairness. Now he is wanting tax cuts. He's all over the place.
