standing for the 2,000 in taxes he says the average middle class taxpayer will have to pay more if.... whatever doesn't happen.

I tweeted Ron's Plan to Restore America to him.

The so-called 'leader' of the Free-World is asking for advice on Twitter....?

In reality I expect he expects to have his words tweeted back to him so he can pretend he has a mandate, and intends to have his staff ignore any tweets he doesn't like, but maybe I'm cynical. In any event, some will be monitoring the hash tag, so I figured Ron's budget was well placed there.

Do you have a reference or source...like a direct source...to where he asked that? Or am I just not seeing it?

There are direct means to contact the President and staffers. Have been successful in the past in the science community in getting things discussed and progress made. Is this just a twitter thing or something?

[thoughtomator]

Any LEADER serious about cuts would first cut his own salary.

Until you see that kind of thing proposed, you know this is all Kabuki theater.

I read it reported a few places, I don't think it is controversial. As I said, I don't think he is using it to legitimately get ideas but to get enough tweets to claim public support is on his side. A lot of the tweets have been ours, though.

[Dr.3D]

Can one tweet without a cell phone? I have never tweeted anything in my life.

Edit: Never mind.... I'm not going to create an account anyway.

Oh.

Republican, Democrat, Independent or whatever, usually(almost always) if A politician is "hated" as much as him it's for good(opinions vary) reason. There are some things that he's silently getting done that a few owles may have a problem with. Was just wondering what kind of question(s) he was asking. Or in what context, I guess.

Of course there is the more questionable list of "accomplishments" too but seperate from other shenanigans.

Anyway, thanks.

You couldn't get these dumbass politicians to agree to a .01% REAL SPENDING CUT across the board of the entire federal budget seeing as they can't even agree on a .01% decrease in spending on proposed increases.

[eleganz]

They're just trying to appeal him as the 'peoples' president, him and his administration don't give a shit about what their voter base thinks.

Ask for people's opinions, do something else, win win.

#My2K (https://twitter.com/search/%23My2K) is just a warm-up. We'll know Obama is really serious about the fiscal cliff when he creates a Pinterest board.


#Y2K (https://twitter.com/search/%23Y2K) was caused by programmers failing to limit date codes to 4 places.#My2K (https://twitter.com/search/%23My2K) was caused by Americans failing to limit Obama to 4 years.


#My2K (https://twitter.com/search/%23My2K) should really be #SomeoneElses2K (https://twitter.com/search/%23SomeoneElses2K) since people begging government not to take their money are telling them to take it from someone else

#FederalGovernment

That was easy. Now can we get to cutting the state governments too?

[itshappening]

Obama has tens of millions of sheeple on twitter and facebook, if he puts the call out for people to call their members of congress DC phone lines will be in meltdown with these sheep calling for more taxes. I'm surprised he hasn't called for a million man march yet.

[itshappening]

Lots of stupid people on twitter saying Obama has won so Republicans need to give in and "work" with him

They forgot to elect a Democrat House if that's the case because that's where spending originates.

According to the chattering class, that was because of all the gerrymandering. Working with them is like negotiating with terrorists. Best just to chuck them in the ocean in the middle of the night.

I follow Obama on twitter, I believe Rand does as well. So not all of his followers are sheeple.

I wonder how wording plays on an issue like this. For instance saying spending over the next 10 years will increase at 2% rate vs saying we'll cut $4 Trillion over the next decade.

We know that the $4 T "cut" isn't a real cut but I'd imagine people would react differently if different wording was used even though both would be the exact same plan.

Heritage Foundation Snags Prime #my2k Space


The wrinkle: The Heritage Foundation bought the “promoted tweet” for the term – meaning anyone reading the #my2k hashtag’s thousands of tweets would see the conservative group’s ad right at the top – in this case, a promotion for a blog post on “4 reasons why Warren Buffett is wrong on tax hikes!”

[itshappening]

there are enough lemmings on twitter who follow Barack Obama who will fall for this.

And I bet the phone lines in DC go into meltdown when the Obamanoids start mobolizing.

I fully expect a march on DC and mass protests all over the place.. KILL THE RICH!

I don't think they'll go to that level of activity unless they are required to by union membership.

Especially in the winter. Protesting would be more popular year-round if the US capitol was in Florida.

Let's just cut the statists. That's all I want for Christmas Mr. Santa Obama, our Lord and Savior.
