Hopefully, the republican prez that starts in 2013 will shut down GM for good, sell of it's assets to recover all the bailout money so we can end this issue once and for all. Then we can move on to other more important things.
Please ensure your presidential candidate makes this pledge before voting.

UPDATE: FAA sets up no-fly zone for Obama's planned trip to Williamsburg The leader of the free world may be coming to Williamsburg for some rest and relaxation if Congress is able to come to agreement on the budget. President Obama and the First Family are planning to visit the area this weekend in what the White House described Wednesday as a "long-planned family trip to Colonial Williamsburg." But the trip might get grounded if a government shutdown can't be averted by Republicans and Democrats in Congress. www.dailypress.com/news/dp-williamsburg-mayor-president-obama-coming-to-visit-this-weekend-20110406,0,6881733.story

Temporary Flight Restrictions The FAA may also issue Temporary Flight Restrictions, or TFRs, which are similar to Prohibited Areas but which are typically effective for a few days or weeks, versus the essentially permanent nature of a Prohibited Area. For example, a TFR is typically issued to prohibit flights near the President's destination when he travels outside Washington.

Would You Buy a New Car From This Man? A gallon of gas: $4. Presidential sarcasm: priceless. At a town-hall meeting yesterday in Fairless Hills, Pa., a man in the audience asked Obama about gasoline prices, which are currently in the range of $4 a gallon. According to the Associated Press, Obama responded "laughingly" and "needled" the questioner. The president's sarcasm comes through in the White House transcript: I know some of these big guys, they're all still driving their big SUVs. You know, they got their big monster trucks and everything. You're one of them? Well, now, here's my point. If you're complaining about the price of gas and you're only getting eight miles a gallon--(laughter)--you may have a big family, but it's probably not that big. How many you have? Ten kids, you say? Ten kids? (Laughter.) Well, you definitely need a hybrid van then. (Laughter.) . . . So, like I said, if you're getting eight miles a gallon you may want to think about a trade-in. You can get a great deal. I promise you, GM or Ford or Chrysler, they're going to be happy to give you a deal on something that gets you better gas mileage. online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748704101604576248801208413800.html?mod=WSJ_Opinion_MIDDLETopOpinion

Obama's Increasing Federal Debt $1,148 Per Month Per Household—Enough to Buy a Car or Pay Tuition at State College Under President Barack Obama, the federal debt has been increasing at a rate of $1,148 per month per American household. Overall, according to the U.S. Treasury, the federal debt increased by $3,646,116,554,704.36 between Jan. 20, 2009, when Obama was inaugurated, and April 13, 2011, when he gave a major speech announcing a plan to deal with the debt. www.cnsnews.com/news/article/obamas-increasing-federal-debt-rate-1148

Obama: I voted as a Senator to help my career, not the country I think that it's important to understand the vantage point of a senator versus the vantage point of a ... president. When you're a senator, traditionally what's happened is, this is always a lousy vote. Nobody likes to be tagged as having increased the debt limit for the United States by a trillion dollars. ... As president, you start realizing: 'You know what? We -- we can't play around with this stuff. This is the full faith in credit of the United States.' And so that was just a example of a new senator, you know, making what is a political vote as opposed to doing what was important for the country. www.americanthinker.com/blog/2011/04/obama_i_voted_as_a_senator_to.html

Obama actually got it right in 2006 when he sad:
"The fact that we are here today to debate raising America’s debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the U.S. Government can’t pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government’s reckless fiscal policies. … Increasing America’s debt weakens us domestically and internationally. Leadership means that 'the buck stops here.' Instead, Washington is shifting the burden of bad choices today onto the backs of our children and grandchildren. America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership. Americans deserve better."
His "reasoning" for his 2006 vote shows that the speech was nothing more than empty words, uttered purely for poltical gain.
Something things never seem to change.
It really was a failure in leadership back then, just as it is now, and his most recent budget speech shows he still gives his speeches for political gain rather than substance.

Obama Hosts Boss of Terror Channel Al-Jazeera President Obama on Thursday hosted Emir Hamad bin Khalifa al-Thani of Qatar, otherwise known as the Boss of Al-Jazeera, for a meeting in the Oval Office. Obama called him “Your Highness” and “His Highness,” even though the Emir dropped his robes of royalty for a business suit. Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al-Thani financially sponsors Al-Jazeera and its most famous personality, anti-American and anti-Semitic cleric Sheikh Yusuf al-Qaradawi, who has just returned to Egypt from Qatar to supervise the transformation of that one-time U.S. ally into an Islamic state. www.aim.org/aim-column/obama-hosts-boss-of-terror-channel-al-jazeera/

Yep, nothing like putting off the hard part of the job as long as possible. Sounds like the President's plan for fixing Social Security. I think you misunderstand the quote. Moosie, upon further review, you are correct. I did not realize it was a reference to working smarter, not harder But getting back to my original response, I still feel his 2006 words were correct, But now he admits that vote was politically motivated, which would seem to indicate he really didn't mean what he said in that speech. It was a failure in leadership then, and it is again now. How do we know his current stand isn't just politically motivated as well? It certainly appears to look that way, especially when considering the sudden "conversions" of other Democrat leaders as well, particularly those of Senators Reid, Schumer & Durbin on the debt ceiling issue. In fairness, a number of Republicans seem to suffer from the same problem. Coburn is one of the few that has pretty consistently argued against the ceiling increase without a spending decrease, regardless of who is in power. It might be just me, but flip flopping for political expediancy doesn't seem to fall into the realm of "working smarter" unless someone puts politics over principle.

Crashed! Obama's Facebook Page Goes Down During Townhall As Conservatives Flood It With ‘Repeal Obamacare’ Posts ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D (CNSNews.com) – On Wednesday, President Barack Obama’s town hall meeting on Facebook was “unavailable” to viewers for 39 minutes after it was flooded with comments by a conservative group’s “online army” demanding that the president “repeal Obamacare,” the administration’s health care reform law enacted in March of last year. For 39 minutes during the president’s “Shared Responsibility and Shared Prosperity” Facebook event, a screenshot displayed the message: “Event Unavailable. We’re sorry, this event isn’t working right now. Please try again later.” A conservative group, ForAmerica, had urged its followers on Facebook to post the following comment as the president was holding his town hall meeting from Facebook headquarters in Palo Alto, Calif.: “It’s not a tough choice, Mr. President. You have added $3.5 TRILLION to the debt already, the first thing we should do is repeal Obamacare!” www.cnsnews.com/news/article/obama-facebook-event-unavailable-39-minu

OBAMA’S EASTER SUNDAY PASTOR RAILS AGAINST RACIST TALK RADIO (COMPARES RUSH TO KKK!) The media stood and applauded yesterday when President Obama and his family went to church for Easter. Yesterday’s visit to Shiloh Baptist Church in D.C. shows again that Obama really is a man of faith, the reports seem to suggest. But while the media rushed to report on the first family’s attendance of the predominately black congregation (and the family’s outfits), what it failed to mention are the views held by the church’s pastor. And while those views have not been delivered in the same fiery manner as Obama’s former pastor, Jeremiah Wright, they sound eerily familiar. What views are those? How about him saying in 2010 that the country is still racist, that racists get programs on Fox News, and that Rush Limbaugh is the new KKK. James Parker at WRNO-FM in New Orleans did some digging yesterday about Shiloh Baptist’s pastor, Dr. Wallace Charles Smith. Not only did he find that Smith loves to preach on race, but he noticed Smith even infused race into yesterday’s Easter sermon: www.theblaze.com/stories/obamas-easter-sunday-pastorrails-against-racist-talk-radio-compares-rush-to-kkk/

NJ State Police "Outraged" Over Rapper Invite to White House The invitation of rapper Common to the White House this week is drawing the ire of the union representing New Jersey state police. While even casual hip-hop fans wouldn't characterize him as a controversial rapper, Common found himself under the microscope after First Lady Michelle Obama invited him to the White House for an arts event. In question: the lyrics to "A Song for Assata," about convicted cop-killer and former Black Panther Assata Shakur. www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local/NJ-State-Police-Outraged-Over-Rapper-Invited-to-White-House-121596869.html
