RE :”It’s ironic that Obama accuses the GOP of being “hostage takers” while making threats about entitlements. Meanwhile Obama minions Bernanke and Geithner make more threats about the economy”

I wouldnt call it ironic, I would call it 'waging political war to destroy clueless Republicans'. If Republicans were organized and had a clue they would get the voter to realize that Obama is threatening to cut off SS payments if Obama veto's a debt extension passed by congress.

But I am getting the impression, as I posted already today, that congressional Republicans are incapable of working as a team to crush Obama on this issue(an issue they had the complete political advantage on last year) , and that it is only going to get worse.

I remember last year posting :”Be careful what you wish for”

Maybe “hypocritical” is a better word thsn “ironic.”

And, yes, there is a real danger that the GOP will either:

1) Get blamed for “hurting seniors/the economy”

2) Get swindled by raising the debt limit for phony “cuts”

or maybe both.
