Team Obama can’t even force themselves to use the word “Christmas”
(Daily Caller) Any Republican refusal to accept President Barack Obama’s fiscal plan may ruin Christmas for the nation’s retailers, the White House
claimed in a report released Monday morning.
“The National Retail Federation is forecasting that holiday sales will grow 4.1 percent this year … [but] if Congress does not act on the President’s plan to extend tax cuts for the middle-class, it will be risking one of the key contributors to growth and jobs in our economy at the most important time of the year for retail stores,†says the report, which was prepared by the Obama White House’s National Economic Council and the president’s Council of Economic Advisers.
“The holiday season is no time to threaten middle-class pocketbooks,†urges the report, titled “The Middle-Class Tax Cuts’ Impact On Consumer Spending & Retailers.â€
The beginning of the report is a hoot
President Obama is committed to growing our economy from the middle out by ensuring a strong, secure, and thriving middle-class. That’s why his top priority is promoting jobs and growth while reducing our deficit in a balanced and responsible way.
Yeah, every once in a while he decides to focus like a laser on the economy, gives a big speech, then moves on to some shiny distraction. The economy is in stagnation, and, if really was concerned, his focus would be on fixing his foolish “health care” plan, which is going to induce companies to move a good chunk of their workforce to 30 hours or less a week.
The new report is part of Obama’s media campaign to blame Republicans for scheduled tax increases, spending cuts and the stalled economy during Obama’s tenure.
The man takes responsibility for nothing that has gone wrong. He simply wants the tax increases, which he knows will have little effect on revenue as those with money find other ways to avoid those taxes, and what little comes in will be spent rather than used towards debt and/or deficit reduction.
A failure to extend the expiring middle-class tax cuts would cost middle-class families roughly $2,200 per year and hurt the consumer-driven slice of the nation’s economy during the “holiday season†— the White House’s sanitized euphemism for “Christmas†— says the report.
Nowhere will you find the word Christmas in the report. This whole report is yet another PR attempt by Team Obama, an attempt to tell a scary story along with avoiding responsibility for being a poor leader.
Perhaps Obama should ask his Democrat led Senate why they haven’t passed a budget in over 3 years, a constitutional requirement.

[…] CliffNovember 26, 2012By Lonely ConservativeI’m sorry, did I say Christmas? I meant “holiday season.” Whatever they’re calling it, Obama’s people are claiming that if a deal […]
Constitution, shzmonstituion.
That evil old rag of a by-gone era is fettered and useless. It was written by old bald white guys who only wanted to spread disfortune, racism, bigotry, idolatry, hate, frowns, bad gas, and ear hair to everyone but them. They knew that the foundational laws they were agreeing to would not apply evenly to all, especially them. That is why they wrote it so they could be exempt from the bad ear gas they inflicted upon the blacks and women of this time.
But, Lord Almighty Obama is strong enough to turn us away from that travesty. He alone can save our “seasonal timeframe” so that once again, joy may be pulled from the evil bald guys of today and given to the minority middle class that is on his NICE list. His “list” will be our new Constitution.
If you’re not on his list, you’re against America as he sees it. If you are not pre-approved, then you are against everyone that is not a white male. Even if you aren’t a white male. THAT is how much of a loving and caring leader this man of the millennia is.
We should feel blessed to have him rule for as long as he is willing to tell us how long he is willing to serve.
If he says that taking $500 billion from 10% of the population will heal our $1.4 Trillion debt and reduce our $16 Trillion deficit, then it will. We don’t need them anyway. All those evil 1-percenter 10% people do is take money that would have gone to the poor and starving children and keep it in their Swiss bank accounts so their children don’t have to work and pay taxes to help support the government services that feed and educate those poor and starving kids.
These kids have been starving now for over 100 years under the old style of government. Lord King Obama will show us the enlightened way of caring for those who are unwilling to care for themselves. Because charity and equal taxation have failed us time and time again, his new fair economic plan will take all of the evil excessive profits from those 1-percent 10%ers. And with what is left over after governmental overhead, servicing, payroll, accounting, transportation, and UN fees, you can bet that someone somewhere will get their bread and cheese for the day.
Besides, who is better equipped for the future? Kids who can learn what is necessary to learn? Or crodgity old people who hang on to old ways and old religions?
The young rich coastline-highrise-living multiculturally-enlightened elite will show us the way.
It’d be nice if they show us the way by voluntarily sending a check to the IRS. Of course they, and Obama, never do nor will.
How many of these liberal kingpins and rich liberal millionaires have given more than minimum to the IRS over the last 4 years? Heck, over the last 20? Or do they keep expecting other people to do it?
yeah, stupid question.
Sounds like you are filled with hate
YEAH.. bringing on the funneh again. good boy. Everyone needs access to a court jester.
