The entire “crisis” was created by and orchestrated by BH Obama and H Reid for their own purposes——to thrust the killing blow on the American economy! Now Obama squeals about jobs jobs jobs. Remember that jobs are the furthest things from his Marxist mind. Every word that issues from his mouth is to get re-elected. Anne Coulter reveals his method in “Demonic”.l Get it. Read it. Believe it!
I so agree, Paperdoll! These geniuses manufacture crises, because they well understand what Rahm Emmanuel once said: "Never let a good crisis go to waste." If a crisis is not at readily at hand, just invent one.... Delaying tactics alone often suffice for that purpose....
You would think the majority Leadership in the House would have been on to such manipulation by now. Sadly, however, that does not seem to be the case.
IMHO, the way this debt "crisis" should have been dealt with: After the Senate tabled Cut, Cap, and Balance, the Pubbies should have simply folded their hands and sat down. The Dems in the Senate would probably have gone apoplectic. How they would squirm! That's the LAST thing they could possibly want! And then, the rule becomes: "He who speaks first, loses."
But then, the House Leadership seems to be hopelessly naïve.... They do not understand that the other side does NOT want to deal "in good faith."
Thanks for your great insight, Paperdoll!
