LOL. This would be comical, if it weren't so sad. In my last post to you, I told you that these buffoons in Congress were going to kick the can down the road. Turns out that Obama's plan not only plans to kick the can down the road, so that any spending cuts, if they are real at all, will occur in later years, but he actually plans to INCREASE spending in the early years, because well hey, the economic recovery is doing so great according to you and tejek that somehow Obama thinks we need another stimulus. So he wants to increase spending in the first year by $200B. I guess a $1.2 trillion deficit isn't stimulus enough for this great recovery we're having. We're supposed to be cutting the deficit, not increasing it. Has Obama lost his mind?

RW, I presume you would support Obama's warning to Assad and his inclination to get involved in Syria just like he did in Libya. I have noticed that he has a consistent policy of not getting involved in the internal conflicts of these countries (Tunisia, Egypt, Bahrain, Syria etc. etc.) unless there is a threat of genocide and danger to humanity such as in the encirclement of Beghazi by Gadaffi and now the threat of chemical weapons in Syria.
