The bottom line is that the GOP is going to have to find a way to call out Obama and Reid as to what spending cuts, if any, they will support. As of this writing, the MSM is shamelessly allowing Reid and Obama to get away with murder by not demanding that they publicly disclose their spending cuts. Hell, BO hasn’t even submitted a second budget (other than a speech) and the Senate Dems haven’t passed a budget in two years.
Life is unfair, yes, but this truly sucks. It’s beyond any pretense of media objectivity.
We also need Boehner and McConnell to turn up the heat rather than run to the corner and hide.
“It’s beyond any pretense of media objectivity.”
Pravda, it’s not the MSM, it’s Pravda now.
Fox may have it’s faults, but they actually ask real questions from time to time. Bill Hemmer just skewered Xavier Becerra. Becerra stuck to all the Dem talking points... evil Republicans won’t balance anything, corporate jets, etc. Hemmer pointed out no Dem budget in over 800 days of control, the jet loophole is pennies in the grand scheme.
Those friggin politicians, I don’t think there’s a one of them that can tell the truth. And with Pravda not pressing the Dems, it’s a recipe for disaster.
“We also need Boehner and McConnell to turn up the heat rather than run to the corner and hide.”
The Republicans had a great opportunity to clearly reframe the debate after the holiday. There is no point in lengthy closed door negotiations with an unserious partner like Barry. $2 billion in cuts? Unbelievable!
Boehner should have proposed a public debt summit. He needed to get these useless dim clowns taking some hard hits on TV.
But they have fumbled away a week and half and now everything is muddled up with Barry’s threats and McConnell’s plan. Not going in the direction we need.
That is exactly what the McConnell proposal does, force the president make the cuts he will accept in exchange for raising the debt the same amount, or rather it is an agreement to put the President’s proposal to a vote, but the cuts must come from Obama.
It’s a stop gap measure which puts the ball back into Obama’s court, not once, but three times between now and the election. If Obama turns it down, it makes him look bad, like he is not negotiating seriously.
Then when we get rid of Obama, we get rid of his Czars, his Commissions, his Executive orders and all the people who staff them. Clean house and start over.
