There was a shocking story about parents of these dance girls and cheerleader squads for six and seven year olds who can't afford their 6K a year tuition anymore. Now they're tightening the belts. Why isn't the great orator?

Didn't we just last week learn that the DC area is now the #1 richest region in the nation????

Now he's calling for belt-tightening?? That's rich, lol.

Default which is it?

I thought he told us to "eat our peas". Now he says "tighten our belts".

Has Obama flip-flopped again?

One simple question? is he going to follow his own advice. Most of us are tightening our belts, infact X/MAS this year will not be what it was last year for anyone.
Obama is very good at giving out advice, and very bad at following the advice he gives.

LOL Obama and belt-tightening! Brings back a memory of his running for office and saying that he'd not waste electricity in the White house, if elected. Wish I could remember how he said it, but he did.

Then, his first winter in office and DC got a good snowfall, and OOPS....Axelrod goofed and exposed President Hypocrite, the liar of all liars in office? Possibly...

Axelrod said, about BO, something very close to a quote here...."he's got it so hot in there you could grow orchids!"

Sure, belt-tightening. Oh, I get it, now! BO needs you and me to tighten our own belts even more so that he has extra money to establish that very suspicious, "Civilian Security Force" that he wants, to be "as big, powerful, and well-funded" as our military forces!
*(no wonder so many compare him to Hitler, sheesh)

You guys never stop with the humor.. What actions have Obama taken to CUT spending?

At some point one would think you'd stop embarassing yourself by repeating the same old lies.

They're past that point where they start to believe their own already used grain...

Hmmm, probably something he shouldve said and lived by from day one. But we havent seen that being done by the government. Weve seen just the opposite thanks to Obamas own plans.

And dont expect him to do his share. He will continue to rack up the $pending flying around hear and there and whatever else the WH is wasting money on.

Hypocrisy at its finest and its really a slap in the face to Americans whove been calling for the government to tighten its belt for how long now...
More lies from Obama ...
