This guy has alot of nerve. What sacrifices has he made? Why didn't he scale back his inauguration (the most expensive ever) if he is so concerned? Forget about this guy being a secret Muslim. This man is a follower of Marx. He's a communist pure and through, hellbent on spreading the wealth from those he thinks makes too much to create/sustain a class of dependent voters who will come out to vote to maintain he and his apparatchiks in power. Look at this man's life and the people he showed a fondness for in his college years and those who have played a prominent part in his life since--Wright, Ayers and Pfleger. The man brags about studying the writings of Saul Alinisky and his Rules for Radicals. I never thought I'd say this, since I thought he made alot of missteps, but I think I miss Bush.

President Obama has now separated federal employees from the rest of the population. As a Federal employee, did I surrender my other title of civilian. The truth is he can do it to us, but he has no control over the rest of the population. Federal employees have long been utilized as "examples". I recall a survey done many years ago by OMB or OPM that claimed Federal employees were paid significantly less than their civilian counterparts. Did I sleep through the catch up part and are we now at parity?

Do you realize that as long as we (our nation) refuse to make sacrifices or do something different from what's already been done, nothing will ever change. Let's be less selfish and be part of a greater good for our nation. Everyone has to do his/her part and while, yes, there are some people who mismanage what they have, let's just do our part, and complain less. Let's give things a chance to work.

Gentlemen:
In 2010 we may have $4 oil and double digit inflation and a 2% salary increase may be unreasonable. Many people don't get step increases and all they have is the cost of living adjustment. You should be asking the question will medical costs only increase by 2 %???

History is a great teacher but apparently President Obama does not want to reflect on what has happened in the past to federal employee salaries. For many years, the federal employee received paltry raises (barely enough to cover increases in health care plans, FEGLI etc) whilst the private sector counterpart enjoyed much larger raises, bonuses and stock options. Now that because of greed, they have hit rough times, the president wants us to ride the lower wave with them. It does seem unfair that in times of relative prosperity, they were not asked to give up their raises, bonuses and the like to join their fellow Americans in the federally employed sector and accept limited raises, bonuses and the like.
Its a poor political ploy and one that should not be followed. Perhaps the President should be made aware of how those who were shortchanged in the past shouuld not be subject to it again.!!!

I expected something like this from OBAMA!
All I can say is HAHAHAHA maybe now you dummies who salivated at the very mention of your "messiah"'s name can begin to understand what those of us who live in the Cook County area were trying to tell you about BHO and his background, everthing he does is an effort to make himself look good and he sure as heck does not care about you. A little less than 1420 days until the obama mistake is corrected!

As this president sold the futures of my great grand children for pork projects, he is asking federal employees to "tighten their belts"?
If this president and congress were interested in reviving the economy, they could have forgiven ALL current student loan debt (which would have dumped $500/month from my wallet into the economy), paid off 90% of current mortgage debt (releasing $1000/month), and/or given REAL tax cuts to Americans (rather than masquerading welfare as tax cuts to slackers).
This president and congress have begun destroying the country I fought so idealistically for. Shame on the people that voted for this joke and placed the majority of absolute morons into congress & senate.
