How nice of you to blast the oil companies for profiting from a situation of someone else's creation. You know that if you were to put pressure on the CFTC to complete their rules making, including necessary limitations to trading physical product only, you would have a greater effect on gas prices than anything else you can do. Sure you would probably lose half of the Billion dollars you need for your re-election. The upside is that when the prices drop, if you and your people get out of DC and explain it to the voters, you will gain more votes than that half a Billion could buy. Only more jobs or declaring an end to your shitty little war in Afghanistan would get you more votes.

Your ineffective Department of Homeland Security spends a lot of time deporting people who want to work hard and make this a better country. Why don't you tell them to look for the real menace to America and have them deport people like Orly Taitz? Revoking her citizenship would be the second best thing you could do for this country. Declaring an end to your shitty little war in Afghanistan would be the best thing you could do.

It sure looks the Republicans, led by their Mighty Midget Eric Cantor, plan to lard on all manner of junk on a debt ceiling bill. You should declare unequivocally that you will veto anything that is not a clean bill. Anything else is mixing apples and oranges and you will not let the GOP sneak in a lot of earmarks on a necessary bill. And as long as you are taking principled stands, you can declare an end to your shitty little war in Afghanistan, fire Petraeus and bring all the troops home. It would be a blessing for the country.

Rumors are flying that you will put Gen. Petraeus in as head of the CIA. It was bad enough that you bought into your shitty little war in Afghanistan and then put him in charge, Now you plan to promote him for his failure to win in your shitty little war. Mr. President, your habit of adopting Republican policies may work for you most of the time, but the Republican policy of promoting failure is one you should avoid like the plague. Just retire Gen. Petraeus and declare an end to your shitty little war in Afghanistan. Bring the troops home and guarantee your re-election.

You are hitting a rough patch here. People who are getting screwed by fuel prices are pissed at you because you won't stop the speculators who are driving up the price for their personal profit. I can understand your position, expecting as you do the campaign contributions of the bankers who are profiting by screwing your voters. But now, to add insult to injury, people think you are doing a lousy job running your shitty little war. Now is the time to declare an end to your shitty little war. The troops will be coming home in time to make a lot of happy families at election time.
Two things you can do to improve your position with voters and only one that might cost you major funding. Go for it Mr. President.

I just read that someone in your Administration wants to keep 10,000 troops in Iraq. You should fire whoever came up with that hairball idea. 10K is too few to do any good, but just right to be a big target. They will serve nobody any good except those who want to go back into Iraq. If we can't afford LIHEAP and EPA and IRS and AMTRAK and all the other programs you want to cut, we can not afford an empire either.
It would be much better if you brought the troops home from Iraq this summer instead of waiting. And then you can declare and end to your shitty little war in Afghanistan. No one has a responsible end game for that disaster so you might as well create your own endgame by declaration. It would be as good as any other and serve our country better.

Now that the Army is removing the allegedly most capable commander (Rodriguez) from Afghanistan in hopes of finding another general who can put some lipstick on that pig, there is no better time to declare an end to your shitty little war in Afghanistan. More and more the public no longer wants your shitty little war. Now we have the Army giving up on winning instead hoping to "sell" your shitty little war to the public for their own ends.
End it now and save the lives and money we can no longer afford to waste.

Please stop talking about a deal with Social Security and stop you people from doing so, as well. Unless you are going to remove the FICA income cap there is no need to deal until we, the people can weed out the lunatics currently besmirching Congress.
If you really need to make some big savings, forget about staying in Iraq and bring them home early. And declare and end to your shitty little war in Afghanistan and bring them home this year. Reallocation of all those defense dollars would do a lot of good.

You really do have to hold out for a clean bill on the debt limit. The Speaker and his gang do not want to risk default for some hairball ideas. Get on the phone to your Wall St. buddies and have them start squeezing the Republicans, after all they have more to lose than anyone else.
When it comes to cutting Defense, the easiest way would be to end your shitty little war in Afghanistan. Also bring ALL the troops home from Iraq earlier than year end. The Iraqis are big boys, they can screw up their country on their own.

I read that one of your aides, Plouffe the Goof suggested you might accepts a lees than clean deficit limit bill. That is a very bad idea, all the more so now that Speaker Boehner has shown his weakness. Better to have Timmy Geithner get his Wall St. buddies bludgeon the GOP into doing the right thing on the debt ceiling. They bought those Republicans, let them control their puppets.
You, on the other hand, can show your greatness by declaring an end to your shitty little war. It would save lives, which you folks in DC don't seem to care about and it would save money which seems to be all that you do care about.

Your position is the least we expect and leaves you no room for compromise, as if the Republicans had any intention to compromise. Please, Mr President, bring DC back to America.
And you forgot to say that you will end your shitty little war in Afghanistan and bring out troops home where they can do some good.

You probably have your speech all neatly written up by now, but I still hope you will present the most progressive and liberal budget imaginable. Everyone knows you will concede a huge amount to the Republicans so you should start with some slack.
Take Social Security off the table. It is stable for a good many years so we can wait until we get rid of the lunatics in Congress.
We know you want to cut Medicare/Medicaid, but please, please never say the word cut. Propose all manner of fixes and patches but let the Republicans be the only ones who say the word CUT. Give a fellow Democrats a means to pound the Republicans into the ground like a tent peg.
And this would be a great time to declare and end to your shitty little war in Afghanistan. The money saved can be put to much better uses.

There are all manner of rumors floating about your speech tomorrow, some quite creative. There are two points that should be true. One, take Social Security off the table. It needs some adjustment but that can wait until we get the lunatics out of Congress and a better negotiator in the White House. Two, you should propose all kinds of fixes for Medicare but absolutely NO CUTS. Let the Republicans propose any cuts to Medicare. Let them offer their political throats to be cut, not yours.
And one more point, to complete your budget picture you should bring the troops home from Iraq immediately and declare and end to your shitty little war in Afghanistan so you can bring those troops home by year end.

By now your budget proposal is locked in to the Beltway wisdom that massive cuts are needed. This is not true but I guess since you and all the others involved already have your piece of the pie you have no concern for all the Americans who will suffer and some will die because of them. Still, if you can, you should embrace the ideas set forth in the Congressional Progressive Caucus' budget proposals. They are the first grown up proposals I have heard in a long time listening to DC.
About the only thing better would be to declare an end to your shitty little war in Afghanistan and bring the troops home with their comrades in Iraq.

I have been following the various budget discussions in Congress and the media and everybody says tough decisions have to be made and people have to accept tough choices. My question to you is when will the Republicans be forced into making tough choices? So far it has been all Democrats making tough choices and I need not remind you that it was Democrats and like minded Independents that elected you, not the Republicans.
And one more thing, I know how much you hate to fight but if you don't fight to save Social Security from any cuts or other diminishing of its benefits you will destroy the base you need for re-election. The only thing Social Security needs is the removal of the FICA income cap. That should be your position set in stone.

With the debt ceiling approaching, we again see the Republicans planning to hold the country hostage to their extreme agenda. And history has shown us that all we can expect from you is for you to collapse like a cheap card table when the pressure is on. A quick and easy way to get down under the limit would be to end Bush's shitty little war in Iraq and your shitty little war in Afghanistan. The people of both countries have made it clear that they do not want us in their countries so please stop sending Leftover Sec. of Defense Gates to try and change their minds. And with Gen. Petraeus about to retire, who is left to sponsor your shitty little war? You can always fire those who make too much noise for war. If you end these two huge capital drains and start closing our other imperial outposts around the world, the money saved would allow you to fund all the necessary programs and still pay down the debt.

The recent election for Supreme Court Justice in Wisconsin looks like it will be very interesting. This would be a great time to send your re-election legal team to Wisconsin to get some first hand experience with Republican voter fraud. They will need that for 2012. And as long as the Republicans are going to shutdown the government, why not declare an end to your shitty little war in Afghanistan. Bring them home and use the money saved to fund your Affordable Health Care Act. That is what a smart man would do.

Too bad about not being able to have the trial of KSM and friends in New York. But don't despair. There is nothing to stop you from transferring a civil court to Guantanamo so they can have a real trial. American history is replete with courts operating under the aegis of an American military compound. This way justice would be served. And while your Republican opponents howl their outrage at your move, you could quietly end your shitty little war in Afghanistan and save enough money to eliminate the need for any cuts. And don't forget to fire the generals who oppose ending your shitty little war. They won't be happy staying in the service anyway.

And while you do so, declare an end to your shitty little war in Afghanistan and bring those soldiers home as well. Their presence in Iraq and Afghanistan only increases the amount of blood on your hands.

And one last thing, please give that idiot in Florida, Terry Jones, a one way ticket to Kabul to meet the people. It would be good for him.

Given the fact that no part of his foreign policy was ever of any value to our country, this should be a clarion call to end your shitty little war in Afghanistan. If you don't repatriate the monies we are wasting over there, your second term will preside over a shell of a country.
