great, so if 0bama praises, I’m assuming the RINO’s caved. Please correct me if I’m wrong...

He likes this plan because it does not involve any real spending cuts, just tax hikes.

[Qbert]

“...74 percent of the plan’s deficit-reduction goal would come from spending cuts and 26 percent from higher revenues.”

JUST SAY NO, you fools!

Absolutely no hope if they snatch victory from the closest thing to a win that they have had politically in years.

They WILL regret this BIG TIME come 2012 if they go through with it.

[Ingtar]

Of course he supports it. The thing is his plan, tax increases included, rebranded.

[fatnotlazy]

“Gang of Six” is an appropriate term.

Every one of them from the president on down is a gangsta.

Whatever they come up with, we will see taxes raised, unemployment increase, spending through the roof and the middle class ultimately wiped out.

Change we can all believe in.

[Tzimisce]

No, you guys don't understand: they're going to take our money AND our freedom.

This is really a great deal.

If you stupid racist, sexist, homophobes were smarter you'd understand.

Sens. Kent Conrad (D-N.D.), Mark Warner (D-Va.), Dick Durbin (D-Ill.), Mike Crapo (R-Idaho) and Saxby Chambliss (R-Ga.), and Tom Coburn (R-Okla.)

Ann Barnhardt is right. There really is a Combine up there (just like here in the People’s Republic of Illinois).

If Obama praises it, it’s trash.

[lodi90]

I don’t know whether to scream or cry. Barry is pimping out these useless Congressional Republicans. No fight in them at all. Readily agreeing to tax increases with 9% unemployment is their Waterloo. God help us.

[Aria]

Tax increases i can believe - spending reductions I cannot. Maybe the cuts are just cuts in presumed iincreases and not actual cuts to existing spending.

So Obama is going to get away with it - spend like a drunken you know what and then force us to pay for it under the “THIS IS A CRISIS” mode.

[concerned about politics]

"We don't have any more time to engage in symbolic gestures, we don't have any more time to posture. It's time to get down to the business of actually solving this problem," the president said.

What, exactly, is the democrat base sacrificing? I can't seem to find anything.

Why aren't the dependent democrat voters (the reason we're in this mess in the first place) being asked to sacrifice something along with everyone else? How about putting them to work so they can pay their own bills?

Share the WORK and the wealth will share itself. Free the tax slaves!

[jpsb]

Tax increases now, spending cuts later, meet the new boss same as the old boss.

The Senate is a cesspool, Senate GOP is going to hand the democrats more money in increased taxes. Like they have done a good job with our money over the last 100 years? Well go ahead Senate kick the can down the road, sell our children and grand children into more debt then can ever be repaid, just as long as yall can get along and get reelected huh?

[PalmettoMason]

I guess I can kiss TRICARE goodbye...

[Brandonmark]

In 10 years you can take out your miniscule percentage in budget cuts...but we get to keep current increases by raising the debt ceiling limit and instituting tax hikes now! But at least it will give you the opportunity to tell the uninformed voters back home, "See, I voted for budget cuts!"

[Huskrrrr]

Plenty of earmarks for the “6” I’m sure.

[opentalk]

10 year plan, cuts very little.

[iontheball]

Tom Coburn is the devil in this deal. I forget where I read this, but Coburn has some very devious connections in Obama's past. Notice how he came on the scene in the eleventh hour to try and save Obama’s butt.
