Obama's Speaks Live On The Congressional Denial Of Payroll Tax Extension
And now the president explains why today's congressional vote slamming the 2 month tax extensions is not acceptable. We wonder if this means Obama's Hawaiian holiday will be delayed until this critical issue is resolved.

Only took 3 years for me to agree with something he has to say...
Thanks for the downvotes - you guys do realize that NINETY percent of congress agrees with me though right?
You think Congress agreeing with you will make you popular? This is gonna get ugly, son.
It already is ugly, son....
Now even the republicans can't even agree with each other.
It's a tough crowd here.
"Now even the republicans can't even agree with each other."
lol...oh, the "republicans" agree...the TP doesn't. And I say bravo!!!
I believe what they are saying is...they want the tax break on FICA to be extended for another year as is usually the case in tax & spending matters. They do it on a yearly basis. A fiscal year...back when they actually had a yearly budget.
Not just sixty days.
Why should an employer have to check back in with the central planner/command & control center before the end of the first quarter...and then what, every other quarter after to see if if its changed again?...its complete nonsense.
Oh shit well if Congress agrees with you!
Well enjoy the 2% drop in your income...
The trick is that, there is no income.

Whatever it takes to get some semblance of sanity and longer term stability.
Plus, you do realize that any extension will accelerate our indebtedness, which means we'll reach the ceiling before the election next year.
'Xactly. "Don't raise my payroll tax, and don't cut my Social Security."
Idiots.
2% of zero. oh no!
And how big will the drop in my future SS retirement payouts be? Or do you believe in free lunches?
Wow, you are a moron too. Congratulations.
Yes - I am the "moron" Republican with the six figure income that actually has an issue with house republicans screwing over 160 million Americans and their paychecks.
Obama is a joke - but you've got 90% of Congress in agreement with him, and these morons still can't get anything done.
Probably doesn't affect you and your minimum wage part-time job I guess...
Look buddy. If your wife is cheating on you, that is your business. No need to bring it up here. Go see a psychiatrist about your image issues.
You want to pass this extention for two months so that the Democrats can beat up the Republicans again in the new year? All the way up to the election? Do you realize how bad it makes Republicans look when you fall into the trap that they want to screw over the working man? Ask yourself why the Senate only wanted a 2 month extension....
Ask yourself why House and Senate Republicans can't agree on the issue. They make themselves look bad enough.
It's not like either side gains or loses with a 2 month extension...
Typical government to wait until the last possible second to try and get anything accomplished. Same situation as the debt ceiling debate. There was absolutely no compromise... both sides don't give anything...
Now we get this issue - and both sides can now grandstand and point fingers.
my tin hat may be to tight....but i think they want that money....or somebody does....lets see, they are demanding payment from all citizens of the world, but us....... cause were their favorite.....
don't argue with rednecks. Beside scream Bitchez on every post and at least show some common sense all they do is masturbating.
Oh lookie, another Republican whose only identity is how much money he makes, the car he drives, and the silicone in the boobs of his manic depressive girlfriend on Zoloft who never fucks him. I'm sure you'll make lots of friends here.
You seem to be describing a Hollywood lib...
They are the epitome of vain as well, but this one is definitely a contender.
Hey Idiot. 89 Percent of the SENATE passed a bill. The same SENATE that skipped town. Retard.
DOn't worry about downbeat....
Most of those are just rednecks with few oz of gold under the mattress who just masturbating every night and praying for some1 to turn the switch.. So they will become reach with their shiny toys and the whole world will collapse.
But than again... some1 forgot to explain them .... when everything will collapse they will be the first one to go.
Lets see how many minuses i get this time.
Just because your stocks are tanking and you never learned to spell, is no reason to broadcast your jealousy of other peoples gains in precious metals. Someday you might learn and become reach too.
We've seriously come to setting tax policy 2 months at a time?
How do I get out of this chickenshit outfit?
This president should come with a: WARNING: NOT TO BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY.
The teleprompter garners more respect than this place holder clown. I think those wascally republicans should start doing everything on a two month basis.. Obama's vacation fund, Mychelles fried chicken budget, her household staff budget all excellent places to start our new two month budgeting.. Just ask Harry Reid we don't need no stinking budgets..
No kidding. Also gotten to the point where both parties agree with 90% of a bill... But still act like toddlers and can't get anything done.
WTH has the house/congress even accomplished this year.
I am truly conservative - but Boehner needs to jump in front of a bus along with Pelosi and Frank.
oh please don't let them jump alone, Captain Judgment!
If the Democrats were really for the working classes, they would have jumped on the ONE YEAR extension. Instead they want to make a futile stand against developing oil resources on this continent, that won't actually do anything but cost Americans jobs and billions in property tax revenue as they'll just route the pipeline through Canada to Canadian refineries. Good Work guys!
I am truly conservative - but Boehner needs to jump in front of a bus along with Pelosi and Frank.
Might I suggest that you show him how it's done? Take your 6 figure "income" with you while you're at it...
No thanks - I'll survive just fine with my "income", land, guns, and precious metals. Thanks for reminding me....
Two of those things are imaginary, and the other two you will gladly hand over when the ATF shows up and tells you to.
It's funny how the most insecure fucks have to constantly mention their 'income' in the hopes of validating themselves. But they have no friends, wife or kids, so all they really have is pullin their pud.
Your beef is with the two month Senate, not the one year House. The Senate shot down the one year extension the House passed.
2 totally different bills...
The non-partisan bill the house passed WAS killed by the senate. I don't mind them taking some time to finalize the details and come to an agreement here so both parties can get what they want. THAT is what the Senate bill does, or would have done.
Who wins now? No one. Neither party gets what they want.
Look at Obama's numbers and tell me this wasn't planned. Who benefits when they're able to tar and feather the GOP as being for tax increases?
The House delivered the one year extension BHO asked for. The Senate produced something totally different (and fyi the Senate can not originate tax bills, so anything they do on their own is just political games). So how is the House at fault when it delivers the extension BHO wants??
They need two months to figure out where they are going to compromise?? Bull. They can compromise in two days. FYI - this has been in the works for two months already -- just two more months will do it???? Absurd.
The House is ready to stay and figure this out (via joint conference committee). BHO said he would not go to Hawaii to get this done. But the Senate went into recess and said they are done for the year. And the House is the problem??? Try the Senate.
According to Krauthammer the Senate bill was an "Obamanation".
'I am truly conservative -' ... which is why I support Newts for president, who will legalize all the aliens and support buying mortgages for them from his previous employers, Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae.
The secret to understanding Obama is to take whatever he says and go 180 degrees to the polar opposite. It is the kaleidoscope method to understanding your president. kaleidoscope bitchez!
As an employer I really get sick of moving the tax tables monthly so that the employees get their extra two pence.. The cost of voiding payroll checks, reissuing etc really add the salt.
"How do I get out of this chickenshit outfit ?"
"You heard the man and you know the drill: elbows and assholes !"
Redpill, I haven't watched "Aliens" in some time. But, regarding the extension of the payroll tax reduction,
"Game over, man ! Game over !"
when the next one comes, americans will miss him.
you forgot the /sarc tag.
I dunno. They just seem to keep getting worse and worse.
This man is clueless. He talks the talk, but he can't do the walk.
The 'perp' walk?
Well, in order to walk one would need a backbone. No evidence of that so far...
From Hawaii?
"Let me be clear" = 1 shot
"American People"= 2 shots
Get Your Drink ON!!
"Look"=sip your drink
"Ummm" = 1 shot. You'll be in the hospital with alcohol poisioning halfway through the speech.
I got my 3 gallons of Carlo Rossi Merlot all ready.
I use Carlo Rossi Burgundy and Chablis for cooking, and it works great for that. I've never tasted it by itself though.
why does every white house press secretary look like james spader trying to play a white house press secretary. It is another one of those infinite loops.
haha
Shit, I wish it was James!
TOTUS knows best.
Is he going to read or not, I have better things to do than listen to this dweeb tell me taxes are going to go up or else. Taxes have already increased. Politics as usual.
I missed the TOTUS read, didn't I? How long was he on stage for, half of one minute?
You can learn a lot from a teleprompter. Slow and steady, just keep scrolling, never stop. It's really admirably relentless.
Like the tide.
I'm thinking if the teleprompter ever stopped working, he'd end up like that dude in SCANNERS...
Extending two months is on the whole meaningless. Arguing about it becomes pointless. But tying up CONgress over the question for anything beyond 30 seconds is passing insane.
taking it beyond new years will mean a lot of people will still go Christmas shopping this week.
If it's not extended 'consumers' will slam on the brakes quicker than you can say 'austerity'.
Liar, two-faced, hypocrite, fake as his birth certificate.
On the Saul Alinsky planet, he's been completely honest with you.
Two months is the long term when you consider 'investing' is now measured in micro and nano seconds..
PS - when did James Spader start working at the whitehouse?
Tax mortgage borrowers to increase paychecks for homeowners and renters? Do these people ever bother to think about they skew markets BADLY?
And do they think that a tax credit will salvage the housing market?

Seriously, why pay any attention at all to anything coming out of the mouth of this walking diaper stain?!
Good. I hope the house cuts food stamps too. It would be great. It would start the revolution.
Leader Pelosi... give me a fucking break. That cunt shouldn't be running jackshit.
That cunt was chairman of the intelegent commite for years , while she does good at raping american people she defentialy not a stupid one.
Maybe if you had some intelligence, people would definitely take you more seriously.
Boner is scared of his own tan shadow... another downgrade coming from rating agencies
A downgrade because taxes are going up? More like an upgrade! America, soon to be AAAA!
This guy is funny. Pass this democratic senate bill or else you hate Americans... Eh you fucker, the money is supposed to come FROM THE HOUSE and guess what, REPUBLICANS control the house...
I'm not defending the scummy republicans here, but this guy is a fucking joke.
In one fell swoop, the GOP gets Obama to agree with their entire tax cut platform.
Brilliant!!!
Can't believe this guy has gotton a plus 5 on this issue this month. Playing right into the hands of all. Worse than Jimmy Carter and pulls out a miracle. Doesn't matter however it's all going to come crashing down well before the elections.
CNBS: Obama will delay Hawaiian vaca! Oh bummer...or is that Boehner?
What happen to paying for all the new spending bills. Both sides appear to have forgotten all about that. Obummer said the super committee would come up with additional cuts to offset this shit and that never happened.
Does anyone ever call these assholes out on their lies........
So basically, John Boehner's do-nothing congress said that if the richest 1% don't get a tax cut, they're going to raise taxes on all of the rest of us. There goes $1000 for the rest of us.
Unbelievable.
Well, at least we know beyond any shadow of a doubt who's side the GOP is on.
You WISH congress was a do-nothing congress. It isn't. It's a rape rape rape the bill of rights congress. If Congress had just sit there since they were elected and passed no bills, the US would be better off.
I'd prefer a chance that I might collect social security when I get older, over your fucking one grand. But you don't really give a shit about us, so i'll return the favor.
WHERE IS the video dear leaders?
BOEHNER responds to the dear leader:
http://www.c-span.org/Events/Following-Payroll-Tax-Cut-Votes-Speaker-Boe...
(the original video of dear leaders speech is also availble there)
The wealth effect of today's stock market rise eliminates the need to continue the tax cuts.
I feel wealthier already
$1000 for the rest of us...where is THAT money coming from...I assume people on this board are smarter than that...its all a vote buy...THAT money comes out of YOUR social security..and that is broke too....Obama should be saying we need to CUT expenses...and I will not be taking my 45 day vacation to Hawaii this year....to start off the savings...but his wife could not wait to spend OPM...other peoples money...so she left already...CUT spending people..that is the answer...if you have ever seen a list of what this government does spend on...you would puke...the Dept of Education...comes to mind..what do they do? Teach your kids..no...not much..but they spend billions and employ thousands of paper shufflers....well back to Tylers other article..we are doomed..really..if you are crying over $1000 we don´t have to spend...then the trillions that are due won´t bother you either
I agree, youngman. It's just another head fake to not address the real issue: obscene spending. Even here at my local level in the Midwest U.S.A., almost any argument/discussion between left and right degenerates into "taxing the rich" and "everybody paying their fair share". Maybe we as a country deserve what we get.
Obuma they won't pass my ass hat 2 month tax extension bill..I am going on vacation to hawaii that will fix them!!
GOP ( well not the elite DC GOP who like it) but the conservatives who got elected last go round held it up because they want that oil pipeline from canada that will give US citizens 200,000 new jobs..and drop gas and heating oil prices ..you know actually benefit those of us in the USA.
seems the job's Obuma wants are only in China.
The 2% tax-cut is robbing Peter to pay Paul anyway. It's coming from the already under-funded, IOU stuffed, Social Security fund.
The House passes a one year extension and somehow they are blocking the tax cut BHO requested?? The Senate shot down the one year extension and pass a two month extension (which most folks understand is absurd tax policy - one year is bad enough). Why is this hard to see??
Obamanian team is outsmarting every1 and repub morons are falling for it. But than again when we concider who they are picking to run against Obama, what else can we say.
This game is exactly the same every election. So no matter how much morons and rednecks wills scream about Obama he will easily will overtake Grind and Romney.
They should force Rubio to run.
I'm guessing Darwin had his way with you, which is why you have lame attempts at l33tspeak, and can't spell for shit. I hope Darwin -considers- you ineligible for procreation.
The other day Odouchebag indicated that he believes that in POTUS rankings he ranks no worse than fourth, behind Lincoln, FDR, and Johnson (presumably Lyndon - BHO probably doesn't know about Andrew Johnson), but he did not rule out the possibility that he could be as high as #1 All Time Best POTUS
How fucking insane is that?
If he'd actually accomplished something, he'd be All-Universe inside his loose-screw-filled head.
Honestly, I don't care so much whether he's making an accurate assessment or is being delusional...
It's more the fact that it's just so incredibly arrogant.
please, stay on vacation and leave us in peace for awhile
Can somebody please explain the Permanent Income Hypothesis to this man...?
Perhaps Milton?
Payroll Tax Extension? This is nothing more than "Unemployment Benefits Extension". Extending unemployment benefits is unpopular, so let's give it another name that the ignorant masses won't know. They're pushing another crap sandwich bill and calling it something with a nicer name, like peanut butter and jelly. It's so sad when you have to lie about legislation just to get it passed. Liars in both parties.
They'll probably let the stocks freak out at the beginning of the year, then come up with some retroactive legislation in mid-January, sending stocks soaring once again.
Just like in The Matrix, you have to manufacture good and bad news to get people to buy into the delusion you're creating.
Yes I hate Ogolfer.True the money will come out of social security.However,the Repugnants refused to raise taxes on the top 1 %,aided by dumbocrats.I would still take the $ 2,000 as there will be no social security for guys like me.
You could take every dime the 1% has and not help anything.. How can people here be so stupid? Check the numbers yourself and grow up!
for two months
Reducing the amount that SS takes in via a tax cut is a sure way to deep six a broke ass program that is already short each month. Something tells me they need an emergency to move on confiscating 401 and other self directed accounts, extending the payroll tax cut will bury this dog. This will be another never ending story, until it ends in tears of course. Cash out and take the hit before it's too late.
Quick, re-hypothecate something, anything - pleeeeeze re-hypothecate!!!! It's our ONLY hope.............
The payroll tax from the get-go was a non-starter, period!
it does absolutely nothing, period!
employers, temp-agencies, and pt's could give a shit, period!obama should have let the 'bush-tax-cut' expire, as he'd previously promised [joke], period!
no-one,... not anyone, is the better for all this bullshit, no-one, period!
all this time being wasted on nonsense of past issues, once resolved, but refused a proper burial for political gamesmanship is a failed grand-theft recipe for gov't,... our pathetic gov't, period!
so who pays for entitlements, or the unemployed without providing shovel-ready jobs to no-where[?], all, but the sign-maker's warehouse, our sterile, and quasi-sanitized congress, period!
but, timmah, and binji will act in our interest for christ[mass] sake, as long as there's no-hell to pay, period!
such a waste,... such a pathetic waste, period!
all the more reason for 'ron paul' to blow out the iowan's straw-poll and show some 'balls,... rolling into new hampshire, period!
The whole reason I don't watch TV is this gutter rat - a puppet, telling lies.
