Krauthammer rips Obama’s debt reduction plan by saying it’s nothing more than a campaign premise and then shoots holes in the so called trillion in ‘savings’ from Iraq and Afghanistan by saying:

You might as well save another trillion by saying that we are not going to have a bicentennial invasion of Canada as a way to get the War of 1812 done right. There are a lot of countries that we could decide not to attack and have savings. So that’s a farce.

    obama is proving he wants to leave office in 2012. NO PROBLEM PAL!

    Fantastic analysis Mr. Krauthammer. But the problem is we are still preaching to the choir. Why do you think Obama is doing this:
    He either thinks we are stupid
    Or thinks we get it but cant and wont do anything
    Or thinks that whatever we do will not affect the maority of the voting block that he counts on.
    We must elevate the discuss and say it in sucha way that those on the queue waiting for the Obama largess will get it.

    Way to go Mr. Krauthammer, when it comes to wielding the verbal weapon of mass destruction sometimes you are a one man wrecking crew.

    Ever wonder WHY no republicRAT politicians will not come out and demand that if there was no obamDUHcare, the USA would be in better shape?

    Why? Because the republicRATS will be in control one day and will be able to take advantage of what the demunists have done.

      Have you been out past your curfew again drinking Boone’s Farm?

        Boone’s Farm, a long time ago, was the refreshment of choice while indulging in certain “green entertainment”. So I was told.

      I agree that whoever is in power will exploit what’s in place for their own ends.
      I don’t agree with the rhetoric.

      I think to save some even more money we shouldn’t invade Freedonia either.

    Another in a long list of speeches full of lies and word games that sound so brilliant but, upon analysis, say absolutely zilch. The uninformed, apathetic and ignorant will lap it up as enlightened. *full of sound and fury signifying nothing*.

      reminds of that sketch on in living color where the 2 jail birds used giant words together in sentences which meant absolutely nothing because they had nothing to do with each other but they thought it made them seem intelligent……..but in this case it’s not funny at all, just very irritating

    Republicans were using the withdrawal from Iraq and Afghanistan as “savings” too, though. The GOP needs to stop playing with numbers as if Americans are too stupid to get it. The last thing Republicans in Congress should be doing is playing by Democratic Party rules.

      Definitely…let’s look at the Libs/Progs playbook (See Alinsky) and see how we can pervert it to our own ends.

      Let’s find out some new tactics as well that appeal to emotion, not reason and logic, since Libs/Progs only seem to know those tactics.

      Let’s re-read Sun Tzu and relearn new lessons of warfare taught so we can apply them today.

      I plan to be a millionaire Real Soon Now. Count me among the “evil rich.” Better than being among the “evil poor” that the Libs/Progs so often want to hold up as victims of society rather than victims of themselves.

      I’m saying this as a libertarian patriot atheist. Allied with those that love the US represents and what it can be once again: A home for individual freedom and individual opportunity.

    I dunno. The Invasion of Canada is an American tradition. I for one love it and I know that our northerly brethren enjoy it as well. Shame on Obama for cancelling it!

      Look at all the money he saved. He’s looking out for our economy. With this saved money he can raise taxes and it sorta evens out. Very presidential.

    Didn’t see the show, did Williams have a meltdown upon hearing some facts? Liberals usually do.

      Williams is looking like swiss cheese after falling on the LIAR Obama sword.

    Charles is ready to scream at LIAR Obama, However I say the Administration’s new policy is to wag the dog……everyday they need cover for Greengate and Gungate.
    Expect a loooong drown out jobs plan and deficit plan to send the Presstitutes in another direction.

    Perhaps BHO will evade Canada, that way he could take 65% of the voting public that are leftist. maybe he could then win in 2012.

  • FishyGov

    I like Krauthammer and appreciate his insights.

    But in this case I don’t know what Charles is upset about.

    Hasn’t Obama saved or created trillions of dollars?

    The White House has not provided an official reason to the public to explain why they are ignoring the recommendations of Obama’s bipartisan Deficit Commission.

    We can all guess why they are ignoring the findings of the Deficit Commission, but there should be an official explanation.

    The MSM should be demanding an explanation from the White House. They are not.

    Republicans should be demanding an explanation from the White House. They are not.

    The Tea Party should be demanding an explanation from the WHite House. They are not.

    I don’t even hear Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Michelle Malkin, and other conservative commentators demanding an explanation from the White House.

    WHY DOES OBAMA GET A FREE PASS for ignoring his own bipartisan Deficit Commission?

    I sincerely hope others here agree the White House should explain why it ignores Obama’s bipartisan Deficit Commission. I hope you will speak out often everywhere you can.

    It is shameful that Obama ignores his bipartisan Deficit COmmission, and the rest of America effectively says that is okay.

    Hey! Since we haven’t invaded Canada in the last fourteen years does that mean we are officially out of debt?
