Republicans rip White House for putting tax dollars on line over possible defense lay

Re: Republicans rip White House for putting tax dollars on line over possible defense

Thats not what he is doing. He is bribing the companies to not issue pink slips because they are afraid it will make them look bad before the election. He is offering taxpayer dollars companies to cover legal challenges for the companies NOT following the law. Did you actually read any of this?

That IS what they're doing, yes.
 
Re: Republicans rip White House for putting tax dollars on line over possible defense

Of course they are whining about the cuts, how disingenuous can you be? The House already passed "legislation" to eliminate the defense cuts and substituted cuts in social programs. Obama is ready to deal but the GOP wants to make Obama look bad instead. The President knows there is no point in talking to them now, they have a one track mind....again like children

Like I said, you have no idea what's going on in this thread -- which is not unusual, and it makes your last three words deliciously ironic.
 
Re: Republicans rip White House for putting tax dollars on line over possible defense

You have no idea what you're even saying. You don't even know what Krhazy was referring to. Your post makes no sense in the context of this thread or as a response to Krhazy's post.

The only thing that went through your mind was REPUBLICANZ BAD!!!! MUST SAY SO!!!!!

LOL The House has already passed legislation eliminating the defense cuts but they refuse to make any deals with the President about them. They are simply trying to make their cuts make Obama look bad, The President is trying to minimize their efforts, that makes him a bad person to you. Why shouldn't the President try and avoid layoff notices to workers if he can? Isn't that his job?

Aaaaaaand . . . you prove exactly what I just said. You, of course, have no idea that you did.
 
Re: Republicans rip White House for putting tax dollars on line over possible defense

So Obama talking about compensating workers that get screwed over by a do-nothing Congress is supposed to be a bad thing?

If he's ignoring a law, then yes...it's a bad thing.

But you didn't answer my question. Why shouldn't the President do all he can to avoid layoff notices to workers that may never result in layoffs? It should tell you that he will be trying to make a deal after the election. Is that why you are upset? You would think that would make you happy, unless you want those layoffs to take place.

Wow. Just....wow. You actually make The Pete look somewhat reasoned and unbiased.
 
Re: Republicans rip White House for putting tax dollars on line over possible defense

This is just getting ridiculous, does anyone in Washington follow the law anymore?

Nope.........

:roll: Because I have no need to answer the silly fantasies you pull out of your ass to make sure OBAMA GUD, REPUBLICANZ BAD.

His motive is obvious, and even if it weren't, it doesn't give him the authority to actually do this, nor does it explain exactly where the funds to pay for the legal costs of said companies are going to come from without appropriation from Congress. That, of course, is totally over your head, because you, again, have no idea what's actually going on here.
 
Re: Republicans rip White House for putting tax dollars on line over possible defense

This thread is a perfect example of the moral and ethical depravity of those who support Obama.

It's been established that he is willing to ignore the limits to the powers and authority of his position and is willing to commit taxpayer dollars in order to prompt companies to violate the law.

But the Obama supporters will use irrelevant rationalizations, feel-good reasoning and any kind of spin they can think of...including somehow making this whole thing seem like the Republican's fault...to justify his actions.

How did the Democrats ever get to this state?

Because Obama can't keep the cuts from happening alone. I'm happy for these co sequences. When you have such high deficits then cuts have to happen and taxes have to go up, they can only continue in the mind of someone who spends a lot of time in Washington. It's all about prioritization, something we all do every day.

I wouldn't say moral, but certainly ethical, for sure. They will defend ANYTHING their 'guy' does... even though we know if the other 'guy' did it, they'd be raising hell.

The latest memorandum states the federal government would cover employee compensation under the WARN Act -- "irrespective of the outcome" as long as the contractor follows the Labor Department guidelines.

I can only image "employee compensation" isn't for the companies, rather the employees.

You can imagine anything you like. What it is is bribery, using taxpayer dollars, so that the REALITY doesnt make him 'look bad' before the election. Funny...the cuts kicked in because congress couldnt manage to effect deficit spending curbs...and now...in response to the cuts...the WH is obligating MORE deficit spending. Un****ingbelievable.

You know full well that it was the GOP's absolute ban on revenue increases that caused the impass in Congress. That will no longer be a problem after the election. The problem will be Republicans voting against tax CUTS for the middle class even if the mitigation of some of sequestration cuts is offered as part of the deal. Those tax cuts for the upper brackets that are expiring would bring extra revenue that could reduce those cuts substantially without adding to the deficit. See how that all works out?

I have never in all my life, seen such blind devotion to someone like this. It's absolutely nuts.

The guy is absolutely, 100% unethical and immoral professionally. He is a Chicago crook. This is just one more example.

So much for carin about the working man. "Lay them off after, I try and get re-elected". Nothing more telling then this from Obama.
