Obama’s Ego And The Fiscal Cliff

The fiscal cliff is days away and the negotiations are as gridlocked as they were before. According to Senator Roy Blunt:
“To get hard things done, the president has to lead…Virtually every member of the Senate, I think, has seen this new movie on Lincoln, and the lesson of that movie is that to get hard things done the president has to decide he wants something done.”
According the The Christian Science Monitor:
“Until a call from the president on Wednesday, Senator McConnell says he had had no contact from any Democrat on the fiscal cliff since Thanksgiving. ‘The phone never rang, so here we are five days from the New Year and we might start talking,’ he said in a floor speech on Thursday ‘…it’s up to a president who has little incentive to shoulder a burden that the congressional leaders themselves have failed to take up.’” What this means is that Obama, who has, and has had, ample opportunity to to create a comprehensive deal, is resting on his laurels. Speaker Boehner, for all his faults, has come up with several plans that exceed the requirements of a compromise; all of which have been rejected by the President without a second glance.
If you put all of the pieces together, this goes right back to what I mentioned in my intro. Obama knows he has the upper hand in regard to public opinion, and he is unwilling to let go of the power around which his fingers are tightly squeezed. Obama has compared himself to Abraham Lincoln, the architect of freedom. I see no comparison. Obama is a self-interested, egomaniacal, power-hungry man. He wants to see us drive off the fiscal cliff, because he will come out scot-free. And for the record, I don’t think that anyone who possessed the same qualities as Abraham Lincoln would ever have the gall to compare themselves to him.

But you made me spit coke out my nose when you said resting on his laurels. Is that a new word for A**? Because I see no laurels...lol.....
Thus began the LYING to gain political advantage. Lincoln locked his opponents in jail til after the war. Yep, sounds like obamao movves.
But Lincoln and freedom??? No, the constitution did that.
If you have a chance to look this over I would appreciate your feedback on the info here. I was FLOORED by some of this. SO different from what we are taught.
While it is true that Lincoln regarded slavery as an evil and harmful institution, it is also true, that he shared the conviction of most Americans of his time, and of many prominent statesmen before and after him, that blacks could not be assimilated into white society. He rejected the notion of social equality of the races, and held to the view that blacks should be resettled abroad. As President, he supported projects to remove blacks from the United States.
So maybe the Fraud is like Lincoln... in reverse.
I have a cross shaped scar on my wrist.
It was burned in by a peice of hot re-bar that fell in my glove many years ago.
I guess God marked me that day.
So since I oppose Obama, what does that say for his supposed mark?

So, what in your mind constitutes being a Christian please?
Das Hakenkreuz (broken cross)
Which appears to be more like he had to have stitches at one time, rather than a "tiny little cross."
Lolly, I think it's wonderful that you want to believe in the President, but you would serve the Lord better by dealing with the truth... the man can say he's a Christian all he wants, but he's not. He's more likely an Atheist that uses religion as a political tool.
Personally, I think he has one of these symbols:
somewhere on his body that no one but Michelle can see.
