I posted on another thread how shocked I was that a normal news broadcast (usually pro-Obama, pro-Communist) stated that he wanted to delay any budget cuts until after the 2012 election. I’d never heard that in clear, non-accented English before on the radio; somebody probably got executed for letting that by the censors...

“I don’t see hardly anything that Obama or the Dems can pin blame directly on the Tea Party or Repubs. It looks to me like S&P squarely places the blame at Obama’s and the dem’s feet.”
We’d better start pointing that out publicly, loudly and clearly, ‘cuz the lefties are already spinning it otherwise. Watching Anderson Cooper - much talk about how no one should “politicize” this and how important it is for politicians to all “work together”. He read a statement from Harry Reid saying this points out how much we MUST have a “balanced approach” with cuts AND raising revenues.
Yup, they’re falling all over themselves in panic over there at CNN.

It's funny because now if S&P changes their downgrade back to AAA then investors will bail on them as unreliable and able to be pushed around by Obama. Which is why they can't and won't do that. They sell one thing, their credibility.

The House, under Boehner, passed a plan with bipartisan support that would have averted this downgrade, with $4 trillion in cuts, and put us on the right path: "Cut, Cap & Balance" (HR 2560).
What did Obama & the obstructionist Senate say?
Harry Reid: "Over, Done, Dead"
White House: "Duck, Dodge and Dismantle."

Ill never forget after the election how my cousin(far left loon) and his Mom(My Aunt) called our house hooting and howling about how Obama won..rubbing it in my face when they knew how much I hated his guts..now my aunt doesnt even mention Obamas name anymore. Ever since Obamacare passed and she found out she would be screwed over by it she doesnt even mention his name, like he doesnt even exist..whenever someone talks politics around her she doesnt say a word
How rich. If I was you all I'd do is talk politics around them. Talk about all the crap Obammy has done in a sickingly positive light, just to be an ass.

He can protest publicly all he wants, but the downgrading of America on all fronts IS the Transformation of the United States of America he promised.

Reminds of the Eddie Murphy bit, where the guy gets cheating on his girlfriend. "Who ya gonna believe, me or your lying eyes?"
The "progressives" are running out of people to blame for this mess. Ha ha ha.

Of course he attacked the credibility of the truth tellers - it’s one more prediction he got wrong. No wonder he’s called “Zero” - what he says and what happens never coincide - he’s zero for everything...

How about conservatives who took their ball and went home in 08?
To: Jim Robinson
I’m already hearing news reports on leaders like Jim DeMint and Michelle Bachman calling for Geithner’s firing, which I support.
But the disturbing news I’m hearing is that John Corzine’s name is being tossed around as a replacement..and that CANNOT be allowed to happen. Another Goldman Sachs alumni, hedge fund owner and now, thanks to Chris Christie, an ex-governor of New Jersey. He’d finish the job for 0bama. Pop this trial balloon before it has time to flourish.
Of course, my pick would be Paul Ryan...but that won’t happen, either. At least for 18 more excruciating months.

Everyone seems to have forgotten how “Chicago Politics” got this man child elected to the state house and later to the senate. Just wait until his opponent is chosen for the 2012 election. Photo shopped pictures with barnyard animals of the opponent that Barry will know nothing about will suddenly appear on all the media whore stations.

Since Obama got elected, the MSM tossed away any pretense of fairness. They are a national ENEMY just like Obama.
