Barry, the Big Bird example was to make a point. We need to make some tough decisions to CUT spending. Something that you and your administration are clueless about. More tax and spend!

Elmore, just what cuts are you suggesting? Eliminating the 1000 overseas military bases we maintain? Reducing defense spending where is is no longer more than the next 17 nations combined? Canceling weapons that the military does not even request? If so, I'm in agreement with you

Obama's cut taxes on the middle class five times and on small business 18 times. The GOP's meme that Dems are "tax & spend" is a lie. Federal spending has been less than in two decades and tax rates the lowest since the 1970s. Give it up. Also, please respect the office of the presidency and refrain from calling our president by a nickname meant to be denigrating.

Problem is Obama passed the biggest tax hike in history with Obamacare. Wait until that boondoggle kicks in.

"Problem is Obama passed the biggest tax hike in history with Obamacare."..............This is yet another right wing LIE. 1-2% of the population will incur a tax penalty, but these are people who can afford to insure themselves and choose not to, putting their potential high medical bill onto the rest of us to pay.

America sure is strong. She is coming back despite the four year attempt by our president to destroy the economy.

" the Big Bird example was to make a point. We need to make some tough decisions to CUT spending" .... and the point is that the example he used amounts to 1/100 of 1 percent of the federal budget. That’s like saying you're going to lose weight by trimming your nails. So what are those "tough decisions" that he's going to make? He won't say.

Kingtutsky-Obama couldn't have destroyed the economy, W did that before Obama took the oath.
