President Obama takes a voluntary pay cut

Yeah, this is all new to politics. George Bush was respected and loved by all. So was Clinton, Bush I, Reagan, Carter....

Oh, so you don't like facts if they don't fit your narrative? Gotcha. Sorry to burst your bubble, but, how is this any different from past presidents not being received well (regardless of what they do) by the opposing side? Seems like it's pretty much in tune with the thread.

Maybe when you catch up, you'll get it....

I'm just trying to figure out what Barry taking a 5% pay cut has to do with past presidents. Explain that to me so I can catch up.

If I quoted "Barry" and not you, you would have a point.

 

Here's what you said:

 

It doesn't matter what he does. It's always the wrong thing. Maybe it was said on here once. If Obama cured cancer the Republicans would get mad at him for putting doctors and nurses out of work.

 

If you can't figure out that the exact same thing applies to past presidents (people not giving them any credit for anything they do), then you simply can't be helped. You made an extremely biased remark about extremely biased remarks, I pointed it out. Is it really that hard for you to figure out?

Did you read the article? In the article it was noted that the Republican National Committee said, "Hi all, don't worry about that whole budget thing taxpayers. Obama is giving back 5 percent.... And then he'll hop on Air Force One to take 180K per HOUR ride to fundraise with the same fat cat millionaires and billionaires he campaigned against."

 

I made a sarcastic speculatory remark about an actual comment released from the Republican National Committee. The whole basis of my post came from the contents of the article. You then took it back to past presidents. Therefore I said stick to the topic. Seems simple to me.

And I made a factual remark based on your sarcastic remark that was part of this thread (I don't have to remark only on the article), I don't care if you can't handle that. Deal with it. I'm right, you know I'm right, you just don't like someone pointing out that you are doing exactly what you want to chide others for doing. That should be even more simple to understand. Hope it sticks this time.

Nope. Makes no sense at all. I stay on topic. You sidestep the topic and use the tired old that's just the way it always is excuse instead of saying whether it's a good thing or bad thing that Barry took a pay cut. Is that simple enough for you to follow along with?

:lol: No, you want to point a finger one way and don't like one being pointed back at you. His pay cut, whether he takes one or not, has no effect on me and I really don't care one way or the other. I won't demonize him like you want to do with those that have an opposing view, however.

I was on topic, pay attention or at least try to follow along. You claim that no one will give Obama credit for something, I pointed out that the same has happened to every president and it's not surprising, it's political bias. Just like the Republican National Committee said, just like you said. See, on topic. Following yet or is further explanation needed?

Now if only he can actually do some real cuts and reduce the debt and deficit.

If he wants to make some real cuts, then cut off Michelle's vacations every month.

What should he have done then since you have all of the right answers?

 

Lets start with him and Congress for the next 3 years not doing a damn thing, not utter a single word out of their mouths and stay the hell out of D.C. I think we would be amazed at how actual working Americans could handle things and move this country forward.

Such hostility over Obama showing solidarity. Not surprised though. Oh well. He tried. Kudos to him.

Please. I love the finger pointed at me. Point away. I have big shoulders and thick skin. I can take just as well as I dish it. I am not nor will I run scared for you or anyone else on here. I will say that your last post made more sense than the others. I'll ask this question though....if you don't care about Barry taking a pay cut and that it has no effect on you then why even come in the thread if don't care? Obviously you do care or otherwise you'd scroll down to a thread you do care about. You say you won't demonize him like I demonize those who oppose him yet that's all you ever do is demonize Barry and his administration every chance you get. Sad part is that I agree with 99.9% of what you agree with. Well, maybe 95% because I do like that he is trying to show some solidarity. There's nothing wrong with that. Especially if you look at what he has accomplished and followed through on since his 2009 inauguration. 0.0% is what he has accomplished. Lame duck president. And we created him.

I saw the thread, and read the article. If I cared about the pay cut, I would have said so. I don't need to care about something to read about it. I still don't get why you got offended by me pointing out political bias, something all of are guilty of and has and will always happen. You can bet the author of the article is politically biased.

I call things as I see them, so no, I don't think he's been a good president nor do I agree with his politics. I don't trust politicians, be it Democrat or Republican. At the Washington level, whenever a politician does something, I have little doubt that it's not the best interest of the American people that's their goal, it's more of what's in their own best interest that takes precedence. That's why I say it doesn't matter to me one way or the other. If president Obama, the Democrats and Republicans in Washington wanted to show real solidarity or real concern for the American people, they'd work together, put aside party allegiance, and start paying down the debt and solving the real problems in this country. But, that's not going to happen and we know why.
