I disagree. The day he officially became a naked emperor was inauguration day, complete with faux Greek columns. Passing the debt ceiling bill was a win for him, as we will see soon enough.
No one likes this guy. He’ll be a one term President. No matter whom the Republicans nominate, the GOP nominee will win the White House and the GOP will take over the Senate. It sucks having to wait to get rid of him!
Gosh, this guy stinks on ice.
I hope his birthday party really sucks.
He didn’t get his way? He got the increase in the debt ceiling; all the rest is smoke and mirrors. Now he can buy his reelection and not have to worry about readdressing this issue before 2013. Oh, he got what he wanted alright. Anyone who thinks otherwise is naive.
He's a LOSER!
Sorta like the diaper full of shi% law called "national healthcare"???
the stain is a trooper....first he tries to kill us, then he tries to ruin our economy.
One wonders....what's next?
How can John be so naive? The Democrats will wail and gnash their teeth, but it’s all for show. They got their additional debt, and there will never be any spending cuts.
You just have to wonder about people who rise to prominence as journalists. John Podhoretz is a clever and ungarbled writer, so he can’t be actually stupid ... and yet, he’s obviously blinded himself to reality.
The 2012 budget still has to be passed. O’BlahBlah will pee in his pants if we can pass a duplicate of the 2008 budget!
If the "Super Czars" can enable triggers on the "Pentagon vs Healthcare" argument, here's how it will go. They will cut the Pentagon alright...count on it! The "cuts" in healthcare MAY show a phony reduction in tax-supported care, but if they increase off-budget fees, or make even MORE mandates in the rules, there will be cost increases. Can't do that with the Pentagon - they will suffer REAL cuts.
The worst thing:
I heard a man say “It’s hard to sing ‘We Shall Overcome’ with a black man sitting in the Oval Office”
I guess they can do it when he gets tossed out for “standing up to the man”.

What are you talking about? He won! He got $26T in new spending over 10 years, and the power of unilateral debt ceiling increase. There are no deficit cuts. There are no debt cuts. He won outright. Now he can buy his next term, swiping that credit card for whatever the centrist voters want.
