Obama throwing Congress under the bus

I guess he realized that Bush cant be blamed for EVERYTHING. So now Obama is going to the next lamb in line. Congress. In other words, his minions. The people that put their jobs on the line for his unpopular policies. The jobs bill that is stalled in Congress would completely eliminate taxes on key investments in small businesses http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/washington/2010/08/obama-mosque-jobs-economy.html Dont get me wrong, I believe Congress is at fault but I do believe that our fearful leader has had a hand in it. They are more worried about Heaven forefend a state might grasp some Federal control (Arizona) and what people are eating and raising taxes....... What do you think? Do you agree that Congress needs to get off their duffs and do something? Do you think the jobs bill will help? They just passed one on August 11. Does anybody know what act the President is talking about?

Hiya laglen, Does that mean self employed People won´t be taxed either if they make investments in their Business are they classed in America as Small Business People or is it the what we call here "la media empresa", meaning the smaller Companies only getting favoured. If that is so what happens to the self employed in the U.S.A. then is it like here they get left out in the cold in many aspects? Do the Politicians risk their Job so much then? They don´t here they could write Books and more Books about what they have done here some good, some bad, some middling. But it would take a lot for a Minister to be thrown out here or a mere Politician.

That is a good question regarding small businesses and the self employed and I guess time will tell. Regarding getting the politicians out, we have the tools there but tooo many people dont pay attention.

Hiya laglen, Well if they are covered in the sense they can benefit from investments that they might need without being clobbered by the Taxman then it should benefit other People too. It´s the small man that is really taking the bashing over here. For example a lot of small shop owners and business owners have been flooded out just lately and their Insurance may not cover all of their needs. So I think that would be very good if those People did not get taxed for making those kind of investments I mean the kind of investments that they really need not something like a luxury office table or some silly thing like that. As you say only time will tell like everything else. I hope no one gets "thrown under a Bus" my heart breaks for some of these people they work so hard you know it´s just not fair. Thanks for clearing that one up for me gives me a better idea of what goes on over there. I cannot see "Larry King Live" anymore you see I did follow a lot of the American News and their Politicians from his program. By the way I thought he had a superior program to most hope he enjoys his retirement he deserves it.

Your welcome and thank you for asking questions. There are a lot of bills in our Congress right now but they are not in session. We will see in the next few weeks...

Good discernment here, laglen. I love your "next lamb in line" reference. The deceiving usurper in the WH will let anyone hang out to dry in order to serve his purpose of the Islamic tenet of jihad. And to further show his "no honor among thieves" mentality and lack of character, he acted similarly re Rev. Wright, Ayers, etc. and all the other corrupt chohorts he claimed to have no association with. But, such is a main tenet of Islam, taquiya, which allows one to lie and deceive the perceived enemy, and embodies all that is Obama. How can Americans STILL not see that this avowed liar is Muslim, not Christian, in face of the fact that he ANNOUNCED his Muslim faith to Egyptian Foreign Minister Ghert and pronounced our country a Muslim nation? As to Congress, they are without excuse for allowing this ineligible deceiver into office illegally in the first place, and refusing to remove or impeach him for his many crimes thereafter, in face of their duty to uphold the Constitution and protect American citizens. As for the monster in the WH, the "fearful leader" you rightly refer to, his "hand" reaches to deep, dark, depravity, as he blackmails, intimidates, and strangleholds many at all levels of our government. While Pelosi, Reid, Frank, the DNC, and the Democratic Socialists are party to the treason and complicit criminals, I cannot but wonder what keeps others from denouncing the takeover of our government, except, perhaps Obama's CIA, NWO, and other nefarious connections. I do not think anything will help until our government becomes cleansed of this deadly corruption and our enemy in the WH. How could anyone "understand" what the usurper is talking about, as he applies Marxist politically correct word and thought manipulation and Orwellian double think and speak to every deceiving, lying word he speaks?

P.S. Re "throwing under the bus": Isn't that just what Hitler did when he was finished with his "useful idiots'?
