Obama: Takes It Right To Congress

President Obama went right into the pitfire to deal with the topic that is weighing heavily on the American people, JOBS, among other things. Many presidents usually start their campaigns for re-election on a trail somewhere or perhaps from the Oval office but not this president. He stood at the center of Congress and addressed them face to face.

Check out some of the highlights of his speech below:

I think he wants Congress to, PASS THIS JOBS BILL!

The Debt Ceiling, Hopefully No Longer Crumbling

President Obama and the Congressional folks have hopefully finally cut a deal to prevent the U.S. going into default. This deal will also immediately cut some spending now and more in the future by "super Congress." If they're trying to market themselves as superheroes, I ain't buying.

The first initial cuts would equal $917 billion over ten years which will permit the Pres to raise the debt cap by $900 billion, which is now at $14.3 trillion bucks. No word on why House Speaker John Boehner told his peeps that figure during his presentation as the Dems said the figure for the first cuts is closer to a trillion.

The next set of cuts for $1.5 trillion, would be decided by an evenly divided committee of 12 lawmaker dudes between the two parties. These cuts would need to be shown by Thanksgiving. Let's hope the spirit of the holiday puts these suits in a festive mood.

Some peeps feel President Obama got one victory out of this and that is the second round of cuts don't go into effect until 2013. This is when Bush's expire. This will in turn have a new round of deficit reduction that is all cuts with no revenues. Which means this will give the White House what it was unable to do last year. It will give the White House a leg to stand on in ending tax cuts on the rich.

However President Obama is not too happy with this super committee of 12 lawmakers as he feels all cuts should have been accomplished. In other words, why wait, let's get to it! White House officials also say there will be no unemployment extensions in the final package of this deal. Obama's administration had protested an extension be apart of the deal when negotiating with Boehner. However when those talks crumbled, unfortunately so did the unemployment insurance. According to HuffPost Politics, a Sr. aide in Obama's camp claims the President will continue to fight for the extension in the months to come.

Jon Stewart Breaks Down The GOP (VIDEO)

"The Daily Show's" Jon Stewart discusses the GOP's movie selection in showing its' newbie senators a clip of, "The Town." You know the movie that stars Ben Affleck and Jon Hamm about bank robbers.

Hmm, curious what kind of motivation these freshman senators were to gain from this, perhaps Jon can help out on this one.

John Edwards Ordered To Pay Up

The Federal Election Commission told ex-Domocratic Presidential candidate Johnny boy he owes 2.3 million bucks in federal matching funds given to his 2008 campaign.

Ellen Weintraub, the Federal Election Commissioner said, "At the end of the day if there were more matching funds received than campaign obligations at the point when the campaign ended you have to make a repayment."

Mark Halperin Gets All Dickey And Stuff... With The President

This dick, Mark Halperin a political analyst for MSNBC, called the President "a dick" regarding his demeanor during Wednesday's press conference, on the "Morning Joe" show Thursday morning. He then faked sincerity with an apology. Apparently it was not enough according to his bosses over at MSNBC, as Halperin is suspended indefinitely.

Before that apology however, Halperin asked if the show (Morning Joe) was on a 7 second delay which gives producers time to push a button that edits offensive remarks. The show was on delay but the producer pushed the wrong button causing the comment to be aired. Halperin's facial expression is classic once he hears this news. Therefore, that is why Halperin rushed to apologize.

MSNBC and obviously Halperin have apologized to the President and Halperin believes he should not be in trouble at all.

Presidential Republican Hopeful Herman Cain On Reading Big Bills... He's Just Not That Into It

I am missing how Herman Cain finds Jon Stewart's mocking of him wanting bills to be shorter in length, racist. It seems he was just trying to copy Cain's vocal style.

Herm says he's been called every name in the book because he's a black conservative. He is quoted as saying, "I have been called uncle tom, sellout, oreo, shameless..."

Curious if it burns his conservative ass when many of his constituents lash out at President Obama on something irrelevant, as a cover up to their own racist bs.

I would have to assume hearing all those names you've been called and surrounding yourself around those "constituents" I spoke of, obviously made being a conservative that much more appealing to you, Hermie.

John McCain Claims Underdog

I am really sick of Johnny Mac and his people saying he was the "underdog". If anything, Obama was the underdog. McCain and the Republicans started claiming that underdog status when it was clear they were going to lose, and it's as simple as that.

Pointing Fingers

I am really sick of Republicans (including John McCain's campaign) say, Obama's campaign is pointing fingers and putting blame on them, for all things gone awry, when they do the same damn thing. All John and his followers have said is John has more experience. That is what his campaign is based on, right? Experience you say? Just take a glance at the last 8 years. You don't have to look hard. Actually you could just go back a week or two when Bush was nowhere to be found when the economic crisis first hit the fan. You would think the Prez would've been on every channel trying to reassure and calm down the American peeps... however I am not surprised. If you recall when 9-11 happened, where was George W?
I am rant and roast, and I approve this message.
