Oh Crap.

[Typical_Whitey]

Yep we are broke but I need a couple trillion more to destroy Healthcare and the energy sectors.

[jennyjenny]

So far, Obama’s short term presidency has caused long term problems.

[668 - Neighbor of the Beast]

While agreeing with most everything that’s been written in this thread, I find myself trying to spot the angel in the whirlwind.

Maybe 0bama is giving us the acute condition, and McCain would have brought us the chronic condition. And maybe 0bama will screw us so fast and so bad, we’ll fight back. Maybe a tax revolt that wouldn’t otherwise have occurred. Maybe some other form of healing and recovery.

I’m really not optimistic, but at least 0bama doesn’t slow-boil the frog. At this rate it might actually leap out of the pot, alive.

PS: forgive the mixed metaphors...been a long day.

Well, we are out of money now. We are operating in deep deficits, not caused by any decisions we've made on health care so far.

Sorry, did he just say we can't afford nationalized health care?

Oh, it's Obama... He meant "Bush's Fault"

[Williams]

He blamed the deficit he caused on health care????

[TMA62]

Lets see.....you pass a $4 Trillion Porkulus bill followed by another $4 Trillion budget.

And now you say you are out of money?????

What an Arshole.

[NotSoModerate]

So we have a short-term problem and we also have a long-term problem.

I hate to break it to the President, but our "short term problem" IS the long term problem! Many people smarter than he'll ever be have been screaming for decades that the government was causing a long term problem that would cripple this nation.

As reverand Wright would put it, our "chickenz are comin home to roost."

And we have a Prez that can't see it...

[Yaelle]

we had to deal with the auto companies,

Um, Why, President Obama? Why?

[Does so]

OJT.

[Yaelle]

And the long-term problem is Medicaid and Medicare. If we don't reduce long-term health care inflation substantially, we can't get control of the deficit.

-snip-

Along that trajectory, we will see health care cost as an overall share of our federal spending grow and grow and grow and grow until essentially it consumes everything...

So you are saying that there is a hole in the bucket, and the solution is to make a LARGER HOLE, President Obama?

[donaldo]

Obama ain’t out of dough. He’s got that stash from all those sycophantic ass-kissing liberals who bought his two autobiographies. He and they are utterly disgusting.

[eleni121]

and when oil goes to 75 a barrel we'll be more out of money. I guess that sickening bow to the Saudi King was letting us know what's in store.

[Fishtalk]

combination of bad decision making over many years

Bad decision making by the automakers? How about bad decision making by the silly legislators who mandated stupid CAFE standards that few Americans care one half a whit about?

How about unions that have given gazillions to Dems through the years as the Dems passed laws to favor the unions in return?

Finally, I ask this all the damn time but I'm not giving up. WHERE THE HELL ARE THE REPUBLICANS?

Bang the tanning booths, invade the fingernail parlors, take command of the DC barber shops. Get a pubbie on the TV to point all this stuff out!

And who the hell do I see on TV the other day all getting on my nerves and needing two to three slaps back to the stone age? JOHN MCCAIN!!! He's being interviewed by Greta and ole McCain, who had his chance and my didn't he make us sooooo proud....is going on and on about waterboarding being torture.

I ask ...are there no other Republicans in DC besides McCain? Are they all too busy hobnobbing with their friends across the aisle?

Somebody go find a Republican, arrange a press conference, call all the Sunday talk shows, hell call up Greta. Get a Republican away from the tanning booths and have them risk movement of carefully positioned head hairs and rant against Nancy Pelosi the liar, or the ridiculous speedreaders congress now uses, or the CAFE standards and union favoritism that ruined the car industry that Toyota need not bother.

We have no damn opposition party and that's more of a problem than the Dems. The Dems are only doing what Dems do. Why the hell shouldn't they? If Nancy Pelosi says...NO MAS...we discuss no mas...and she gets away with it, why shouldn't she?

We know the media won't disturb her highness and WE KNOW THE REPUBLICANS WON'T RISK ACTUALLY DOING THEIR JOB!

[Zack Attack]

Did they really ask him about serving on the Supreme Court? Sheesh!

[vaudine]

This was really SMART, with the dollar staggering and being declared comatose by news agencies.

The man is out to destroy this country so he can come on with his wonderful change---only imagine--unemployment,deficits, inflation or stagflation, skyrocketing utilities, skyrocketing taxes, dwindling health care, new holding pens for dangerous conservative citizens and vets, dangerous little tin cans on wheels for us sheeple, and other like goodies as far as the eye can see in the future. How utterly splendid!!!

Did I leave anything out?

[KStorm]

Bastards all.

[NicNacPattyWac]

And there’s still that “6 month test” (international crisis) to come that Biden warned us about when he said to “gird our loins”. How much worse does this get before we hit bottom?

[Cacique]

Obama is a genius who knows the way to rid us of the problem we have no money is to spend even more money we haven’t got./s

[mojitojoe]

OBAMA: You know, I am not sure that I could get through Senate confirmation...
________
No sh*t Sherlock. He would have to answer questions and he knows what those questions will be. He’s having no part of that. He figures he will be a dictator by then and there will be no SC. He is wrong.

[Eric Blair 2084]

Obama: We are out of money now.

Wow, he is really coming down off the mountain with the tablets with that little tidbit.
