I Get all Tingly When You Take Control Like That

From here.

“There’s nothing serious about a plan that claims to reduce the deficit by spending a trillion dollars on tax cuts for millionaires and billionaires,” Mr. Obama said of budget proposals put forward by Republicans in the House. “There’s nothing courageous about asking for sacrifice from those who can least afford it and don’t have any clout on Capitol Hill. And this is not a vision of the America I know.”


He said people like him “don’t need a tax cut,” and added, “Not if we have to pay for it by making seniors pay more for Medicare, or by cutting kids from Head Start, or by taking away college scholarships that I wouldn’t be here without.”



“To meet our fiscal challenge, we will need to make reforms,” Mr. Obama said. “We will all need to make sacrifices. But we do not have to sacrifice the America we believe in. And as long as I’m president, we won’t.”

 

Oh sir, SIR! I remember why I voted for you now. I'm so glad you remembered where you hid the daddy pants. Please don't lose them again sir! 

(Keep it up and I might even rehang that poster I took down as a display of disapproval when you came up with Obamacare.)

That definitely sounds like my kind of politician, because who doesn't need money?

I wasn't going to comment on this because politics so isn't my forte.

But then I saw what you were listening to. I haven't heard that version, but Dexys Midnight Runners are like... I had a crush on that music video for such a long time when I was a kid. Weird, I know. AND NOW. NOW! This version? Heck to the yeah. It's making me want to dance. Awesome. \o/

Save Ferris has an AMAZING version of Come on Eileen! I actually found it through a band playing at the bar I frequent who did a cover of it.

Yes, a cover of a cover...whatever. It works! XD

I want him to fire the dude who keeps speculating that gas prices need to be four fucking dollars a gallon and make them GO DOWN.

GOD. YES. The gas prices are making me cry. I'm borrowing my friend's little Toyota Camry right now while my car is in the shop, and it's so glorious on gas, even if the 4-cylinder makes pulling out in traffic a little scary.

I say, "Self, I HOPE YOUR BIGGER ENGINE AND HATCHBACK ARE FUCKING WORTH IT."

Sadly...I'm beginning to think they aren't. And I'm stuck with the PT Cruiser for another four years. And I LOVE my PT Cruiser...but I'm terrified of what I'm going to be dumping into the gas fund in four years.

*starts hoarding cans of gas for the Fuelpocalypse*
