Obama will miraculously halve the deficit!

WASHINGTON, Feb 28 (Reuters) - A combative President Barack Obama warned on Saturday he was bracing for a fight against powerful lobbyists and special interests who sought to pick apart the $3.55 trillion budget he wants to advance his agenda of reform.

Obama's spending blueprint, with its massive $1.17 trillion deficit and tax hikes on the wealthy, seeks to squeeze billions of dollars in savings out of current spending through competitive bidding among health insurers and ending subsidies and tax breaks for banks, agribusiness and oil companies.

"These steps won't sit well with the special interests and lobbyists who are invested in the old way of doing business," the president said in his weekly radio address.

"I know they're gearing up for a fight as we speak," he said. "My message to them is this: So am I."

Obama, you are now officially my political enemy. You want a fight? You want to act like a cheap Chicago thug like your sponsor King Daley?

BRING IT.

You're going to get a $%^! fight until you leave the White House in disgrace. Enough of this crap. One month, and he's trying to break the entire United States.

He thinks he's on a mission from God, with high wind at his back.  He has dreams and audacity, but the other stuff appears to be in short supply.

How do you "save" money by creating the obligation of government health care then muttering something about competitive bidding rather than leaving it to the private sector?  Further evidence of 'tard status.

I can agree with ending subsidies for agribusiness... but tax breaks are good things and don't hurt me, no matter who has 'em.

I'm with you, Maned.  It's me and you against the world.  We attack at dawn.
(Okay, I stole the from some guy's sig line at M14 Firing Line forums... but it fits here.)

Sounds eeirly similar to the last 8 years.

I think he is starting to believe those who are busy deifying him.  The Obama-worship has not slackened much since the election.

Obama doesn't know what a fight is.  He's won his elections by disqualifying his opponents and, most lately, by outpointing an old RINO.  He has come to believe his own ****.  His Harvard professors told him his blue books were priceless things of beauties.  I suspect he will begin losing it bigtime when he realizes that the thrill is gone and he's not, as he is accustomed, to getting his way.  Obama has the makings of the biggest implosion in American electoral history.

I happen to think Barry O is an usurper. Hopefully some judge somewhere will wise up and allow a case to be herd soon instead of dismissing them. Untill then we are all screwed.
