Obama Press Conference
by lendmeflight2 Mon Jul 11, 2011 12:58 pm
I was shocked that he actually mentioned a work's program to put people back to work. Maybe he is finally starting to speak out. Maybe he will mention the 99ers next.

Obama challenges GOP to compromise on debt
"I am prepared to take on significant heat from my party to get something done," Obama said, contending he has "bent over backward" to work with Republicans.

I hope he stands firm on that, it is something that should have been started three years ago.lendmeflight2 wrote:I was shocked that he actually mentioned a work's program to put people back to work. Maybe he is finally starting to speak out. Maybe he will mention the 99ers next.
He is really challenging the GOP publicly - I wonder if they will have a rebuttal with a press conference of their own.

I think, let me state another way, I hope he has bent as far as he is going to. The democrats need to present a clean bill and say "this is it".
It is absolute nonsense that these "debt talks" have to happen to raise the debt limit. Either do it or don't. If they don't, then pay the debt and stand behind the 14th amendment, the republicans will cave.

As far as a work program, President Obama must stand behind it and not cave. He is willing to make some pretty drastic cuts to entitlement programs, as he said "It's time to eat the peas", and go against his party's wishes.
