here we go again: CARNEY SAYS `THERE HAS BEEN PROGRESS' ON FISCAL CLIFF TALKS

White House Press Secretary Jay Carney announced Monday that President Barack Obama will answer questions on the fiscal cliff via Twitter this afternoon.

The Twitter Q&A comes as the White House ramps up its public relations campaign to put pressure on Republicans to extend the Bush tax cuts for people earning under $250,000.

The Q&A starts at 2 p.m., under the hashtag #my2k. We'll be liveblogging the president's responses here, so check back for updates.

Anyone will twitter any question to Mr President?

Please explain how having the Federal Reserve print $1.00 at the cost of interest(paying back $1.02) versus having US Treasury mint coins at the cost of $0.30/dollar, to be bought by Citizens at $1.00/dollar (making $0.70/dollar) is more fiscally responsible for the country's budget?

Twatter questions hahahaha ffs sack him

Correction: government gatekeepers will sort through questions submitted and decide which ones fit the current propaganda agenda...

I agree with this statement 100%.

I'll be sure to plan my life around that.

Obama Says Tax Cuts for Wealthiest Do Least for Economic Growth. About as much as tax hikes for the poorest

Obama says open to more smart cuts in spending. Is "smart" the same as "fair"?

On Friday the US added $47 billion in debt but only $22 billion in cash. New Normal Spending

Obama thinks the fiscal cliff is something he can do a daredevil act to. He thinks he is Evel Knievel and he can do a jump over the fiscal cliff. The rest of us 99% only have bikes with training wheels still on them. We try that we going over.

White House says Republican Fiscal Cliff plan includes "nothing new", Obama unwilling to give up demand for tax hikes on wealthiest

What it is .. a repeal on the tax breaks for the wealthiest implemented during the Bush years. Have tax breaks for the wealthiest EVER improved our economy? It certainly didn't help during the Bush administration.

The economy was rolling along quite nicely before Bush took office and gave tax breaks to the wealthiest.
