WASHINGTON, DC—In this week’s address, President Obama talked about the bipartisan agreement that Congress reached this week which prevented a middle-class tax hike, congratulated the newly sworn-in Members of Congress, and looked forward to working with the new Congress in the new year to continue to grow our economy and shrink our deficits in a balanced way.

HAPPYGUY YOUN ARE SO F—- IN THE HEAD U HAVE NO F– CLUE GET A REAL FFFFFF JOBAND FFFFFF——— OFFFF

If that is the way you try to make a point you must be very stupid and ignorant. You should take some night classes on communication skills. that might help your ignorance but you can’t fix stupid. You just proved my thought about all the crazies that post on here.

Is it just me or does it seem that with all of these tax increases, single mothers on welfare will have more income than those of us who work hard for our money? Why is it so hard to get ahead in this country?!?!

the main reason it is so hard to get ahead is because employers are greedy. The pay themselves outlandish salaries and pay their workers peanuts. A fair days work for a fair days pay (union motto) is a thing of the past. If they can get people to do it for $10 an hour when they could afford to pay $20 and the job is worth $20…it’s a no brainer to them. Workers need to band together and start standing up for themselves. A national strike day would go along way in raising wages. The problem there is that scabs would be on that like stink on s**t.

Well I poor as a church mouse and work hard for everything I have but I for sure didn’t vote for Obama. He has taken this country for a joy ride with all his vacations 19 the first term and already 1 before his second term starts. Letting his wife stick her noise in the school lunch programs really was upsetting. I work in Education all my life and most kids that was there only decent meal of the day. Anyway it will be interesting to see where our country ends up when he is done with his second term. I still can’t figure how 1 man can make a whole country buy insurance if they can’t afford it ! and fine them if they don’t buy some ? Hold on for the bumpy ride America

Do all the crazie people in North Iowa post on here. I can’t believe there are that many nut cases around. Civil war, marshall law, over throw the government, take away all my guns, Obama will become a dictator. What the heck have all you whacky, right winged extremist’s been drinking or smoking to get all these fictional ideas? Paranoid and dilutional thinking are signs of drug and alcohol abuse. Some mental conditions also have these symptoms. Most can be cured or overcome with help. People seek out the help before it is to late for you.

House reolution 15: repeal the 22nd Amendment.

@Joao de Carmo-did you see who was calling people a nut case? Pot calling the kettle black there.

@Joao de Carmo, are you for or against repealing the 22nd amendment?

Yes, hence the reply of a Democratic Rep Serrano (NY) reintroducing the resolution to repeal the 22nd Amendment, indicationg that maybe . . . just maybe the “paranoia” isn’t so crazy.

I didn’t hear about that, it would seem the best way to do it I instead of martial law. I still hope it doesn’t happen period.

DITTO!!! PS…I’m not one of Rush’s Dittoheads!

Driver you better pray for another civil war, that is our only hope. How awful that the bad guys won the first civil war, let’s hope round 2 goes good for those of us left to pay, and not free load. No more free loaders, they are why Obama is in there. Time to sweep them out, if not by ballots then by bullets. Pray sweet Jesus God to help us.

you say that to imply what?

that ONLY black people are to blame for the things going on around here?? thats insanity you live in a bubble and obviously a black president burst it for you. jobs wete being shipped overseas long ago and truthfully unless you are rich (doubtful) things have never gone will for alot of people teetering on the poverty level. i guess you have a person to point your finger at now instead of taking responsibility for whats going on around you. nobody is making meth smoking bums have their kids taken away or using UE checks for beer and fun times. a black person would actually have to work to misuse UE so who does that leave to abuse it?

face the facts like many of use have.. you dont mean anything to the people in power bush 1 and 2 clinton carter reagan and years back from that is nothing new.

a new age civil war will be just that a war of civilized vs uncivilized.

civil war 2?? wow.

at this point its pretty safe to say alot of people are grossly misinformed,and find it much better to spread misguided info and bias views in an attempt to ignore the personal issues that exists in their own surroundings and daily life.

Way to go Iowans, you helped put him in office, twice, so quit your whining!!!!

Exactly!!! You reap what you sow. You asked for it. Now quit your complaining.

So much for promises.

There is a large number of people out there that wasn’t blinded by his flattering words, we saw right through his lies and we saw what he wanted to do to our country and it worried us. There are some people that is totally blind, they’ve no idea what they have done. They will see it soon enough though.

maybe crawl back into your imaginary world where you can’t tell fact from fiction. No one in their right mind wants to here or believes in your conspiracy theories.

I didn’t say anything about conspiracies, all I said was the truth. I guess the world needs people like you, that believe anything said to them. Even to this day Eve thought she was right listening to the snake, see where that got us. It’s like this, the snake(satan), hitler, obama, all the same mold.

What science fiction book did you pull that one from? It doesn’t sound like you can back any of that up with fact.

maybe has never backed anything he/she says with fact. His/her life seems to take place in a make believe world. He/she lives in a house with tin foil over the windows and a tin foil hat on.

Civil War II is just around the corner. We’ll fight again, this time, we’ll win!

WOW! I can’t believe that there are so many holier than thou, right-wing nuts in this area. The 2% have made out like bandits for the last 12 years, while the rest have struggled. NOW it is their turn to pay up and help get OUR country back on track.

If you think it’s only the top 2% that have to pay now maybe you should read this.

They raised taxes on every American with a job.

Thanks for stealing 2% more of my checks.

It is more than 2% increase on the payroll tax, there is another 3.8% tax for Obamacare that everyone will pay.

This additional tax was one of the things that Nancy Pelosi found after she said, “we have to pass this bill so we can see what’s in it.”

Yep the ol”tax the rich mantra” All I have seen is my check go down… It’s going down more later this month…..thats funny though,i dont make over 250k and i’m STILL paying more.. I say whoever voted for big ears can have their change-obamacare-obama phones-etcetc..And THEY can pay for it. What needs to happen now is whatever the tax increase is for working people they need the same in REDUCTION of entitlements. Not SS NOT medicare.. WELFARE. We are taking a hit so they should take a hit. Seems fair and remember Obama ran on principle of “paying their fair share” SO whats fair is fair…

Actually, theCongress chose not to extend the payroll tax holiday that was enacted in 2010 that TEMPORARILY lowered the payroll tax. You’re back where you were 2 years go.

@Anonymous, I understand the 2% tax holiday that was not extended. But, during the campain, the president told everyone that their taxes were not going to go up if you earned less than $250,000 when in fact they were already going to go up by 3.8% percent with the “hidden Obamacare tax alone.” And we are just starting with the Taxes with Obamacare, it gets worse.

He mislead the voters, the uninformed voted for him and when they see their pay check this week and next they will find out they were duped thinking that the “Rich” were going to get hammered but not them.

John if you followed the fiscal cliff fiasco from the start you would have known your payroll tax was going to go back to pre2010 rates. That had been talked about for quite sometime

From NIT Staff: Clean up the comments please.

You were paying that 2% before and got by without paying it for a couple years. Now you’re paying it again. Employers never got a break on it. Quit bellyaching.
