The problem for obama and the dims is... that S&P had their man all over the news this morning... and he blamed obama and the dims for not reducing the debt by a minimum of 4 Trillion Dollars... and then abc blamed S&P for not knowing what they were doing and being incompetent to make such a declaration... and the S&P guy stuck a hot poker up stuffoneupyourbutticus's butticus.

Any projection that they try... blows back on them with three times the amount of blame that they try to pawn off on anyone or anything but themselves... they are the SOURCE OF ALL OF OUR ECONOMIC ILLS... and they own it ALL this time. Our side (leadership) is guilty of not holding true to their ideology and for being cowards in the face of the enemy.

He should just get his own weekly half-hour sitcom, complete with laugh track. It would be more useful.

I wonder if the Teleprompter in chief will use the MoveOn.org talking points blaming the Tea Party or George Bush.

In a perfect world, the ghost of the legendary Milton Friedman would get to deliver the rebuttle to whatever TOTUS says with excerpts from his classic series "Free To Choose" [in which he intellectually dismantles socialism and the entitlement budgets created which have led to the unsustainable deficit position we're in] (here's a 'money' quote) ...

"The society that puts equality before freedom will end up with neither. The society that puts freedom before equality will end up with a great measure of both."

Did you miss the news that Obama said he is glad Timmy Tax cheat is staying? Some politico talking head on TV said Obama would never pick someone moderate for both sides he has to have yes men.

Ever wonder why so many have left his cabinet and admin?He is an inept loon that has not a clue. Even other progressives don’t like him.

You are right except ... there is no accountability in
what once was America.

This is where you stray and I disagree:

“Our side (leadership) is guilty of not holding true to their ideology and for being cowards in the face of the enemy.”

The republican leadership are ALL New World Order big government socialists, once you understand that you will understand it all. IOW- they do not cave or go weak kneeded, they assist their fellow travelers in the democrat party.

"Corporate Jets", "Tea Party Downgrade", "Balance", "Fair Share"
That should cover it.

Wait, wait. Is this a drinking game? I'm off today....

Barry and the Mooch have a problem if they think that frolicking around on Martha's Vineyard, sucking up lobsters by the ton and doing their little meet and greets at the local ice cream shack is going to play well with a hurting America.

Flying around on AF1 to fundraisers, golf, vacations and stuffing his face with whatever is within arms reach is a political loser for the Kenyan.

What's with this guy...he might gain a little popularity if he kept his face off the tube. People are sick of hearing and seeing this whinny, gripin', blame game stooge. His words are worthless....there is NO positive action behind them....depression economy...no jobs...then we have his scare tactics....scaring grandma and grandpa...

Blame Tea Party and Republcans, promise that things will improve, propose investments (new taxes and stimuli packages) to "create jobs," maintain policies that are stultifying the economy.

I ripped my band aid off and bled to death that day. I’m not eating the peas. I saw what it did to Linda Blair.
