*The Prince*: I need more money

  One would think *The Prince* would see the irony in his calling one day for America to eat their peas and the next demanding more money without specifying any particular sacrifice or peas eating on his part.
  In his speech this morning, *The Prince* spoke in the same tone of voice with the same message as he has in recent days. He demanded that Repubs and tea partiers give up their hopes of bringing spending under control because he wants, now, suddenly to fix roads and bridges.
  ACORN has had its stimulus from Obama, refuses to pay its taxes, and is still being funded by this administration. But, you know, there's never enough money, regardless what *The Prince* says, who also once claimed that once in office, ACORN  would shape his administration.
  In fact, ACORN's manifesto says this. From Sweetness and Light:

Our freedom is the force of democracy, not the farce of federal fat and personal profit. In our freedom, only the people shall rule. Corporations shall have their role; producing jobs, providing products, paying taxes. No more, no less. They shall obey our wishes, respond to our needs, serve our communities. Our country shall be the citizens’ wealth and our wealth shall build our country.

Government shall have its role: public servant to our good, fast follower to our sure steps. No more, no less. Our government shall shout with the public voice and no longer to a private whisper. In our government, the common concerns shall be the collective cause.

  From this passage, you can see the "shape" of this administration, as revealed in today's press conference.
  As usual, Obama blamed Bush for everything that has ever gone wrong in his administration, scolded anyone who disagreed with his method, and, though giving no specifics, said his offers of sacrifice and financial plans exceeded anything the Repubs had offered, in spite of Ryan's and Cantor's works and documents on record:

  Interesting *Princely* quotes from the WSJ transcript:

• Congress has run up the credit card.

You'll note from these quotes that, as usual, the same tactics are used to get what he wants, neglecting to mention that the Democrat Congress and the Obama administration are the ones who REALLY ran up the deficit with the stupid stimulus spending and the QE printing of additional dollars.

• [We need to] get our fiscal house in order.

This from the biggest spender in the history of this country.

• ...I am willing to take down domestic spending to the lowest percentage of our overall economy since Dwight Eisenhower. It also requires cuts in defense spending, and I've said that in addition to the $400 billion that we've already cut from defense spending, we're willing to look for hundreds of billions more.

Oh, really? What cuts are you willing to make? When Jake Tapper asks for specifics, what was *The Prince's* response?  We’ve said that we are willing to look at all those approaches. 

• The last point I’ll make and then I’ll take questions — we are obviously running out of time.

 Urgency is demanded again, as it was with TARP and the stimulus. Do it fast. Anything that must be done NOW is suspect, particularly with regard to spending.

• So I have not seen a credible plan — having gone through the numbers — that would allow you to get to $2.4 trillion without really hurting ordinary folks. 

As long as a Republican proposes it, it isn't credible. Ordinary folks are ACORN folks. Remember his saying "It's time to eat your peas" and "I wish I were here to announce a new program"? Does he not understand we don't WANT any new programs. 

• I think I already addressed this question earlier.  We don’t need a constitutional amendment to do our jobs.

Really? Why are we here then? You Democrats haven't passed a budget in quite some time. You haven't been doing your jobs.

• our problem is we cut taxes without paying for them over the last decade; we ended up instituting new programs like a prescription drug program for seniors that was not paid for; we fought two wars, we didn’t pay for them; we had a bad recession that required a Recovery Act and stimulus spending and helping states — and all that accumulated and there’s interest on top of that.

It's Bush's fault again. Not that his Recovery Act REQUIRED massive spending. He couldn't hep it!

•  I generally don’t watch what is said about me on cable.  I generally don’t read what’s said about me, even in The Hill.  And so part of this job is having a thick skin and understanding that a lot of this stuff is not personal.

These comments are in direct contrast to the reality of what's been reported about President Thin Skin's following news reports and bloggers closely, private raging and scheming against Fox News and public denouncements of those who disagree with him.  From Gateway Pundit, we see the reality of Obama's spendthriftiness:

  Just like TSA screening, this is all theater, theater Obama planned to unleash on the public after his explosion and petulant behavior yesterday.

  On a side note, the conflict between Eric Cantor and Obama has escalated. Never a fan, Obama seems particularly agitated when Cantor argues with him, reminiscent of Obama's recent treatment of Bibi Netnyahu.

  Eric Cantor is, of course, a Jew who wholeheartedly supports Israel.

  Interesting.
