The Tea Party!

The mess he inherited.

He will not rest until ....

He won't say anything new and worthwhile. It will be the same ole campaign rhetoric.

Interesting thread from last evening:

From your lips to God's ears. And for all the and then we will have Biden comments Biden is as guilty as Obama for purposefully putting their utopian ideologues before the best interests of this country.

Oh I think we know what Hussein is going to say, the leftists talking points went out Friday night: TEA PARTY DOWNGRADE, TEA PARTY DOWNGRADE, TEA PARTY DOWNGRADE!!!

Fine, let Obama and his allies say that. The Tea Party and Republican party can answer with, “okay, lets cut 6 trillion more” - the Ryan Budget is ready to go, all the Senate has to do is pass it and send it to the White House. The Democrats will never agree to any real cuts of course, which will put the lie to their talking point.

Here`s hoping, they should probably give a warning prior for children in the house, should they go with this idea.

Oh I think he will use the phrase my broker used on me-

“We are the least dirty shirt in the laundry”

I think he will use the misery loves company and how this is a world wide event beyond his control....then he will go into how the Super Duper Congressional Committee is right on it.....he has talked to the “leadership” and he “worked all weekend” with his staff.....not2worry.....we got America's Back Covered!

He needs to widen his net today on his blame game. I doubt if he attacks his own incompetency.

He will say “It’s no big deal. And it’s the tea party’s fault. It’s not their fault that it’s on big deal. It’s their fault that....oh, never mind.”

obama will just demand tax increases and say “the debate is over”.

I say it is time to downgrade s&P and people should demand Obama resign.

“Let me be perfectly clear, the S&P acted stupidly.”

“And it is totally Tea Party’s (or rightwing extremists or domestic terrorists) faults.”

“I am the reasonable adult here trying to balance the budget and tackle our soaring deficit problem, it is not helpful with their hateful rhetorics, and my patience is wearing thin.”

Let’s see how whining and totally label himself as the VICTIM here will work in the real world.
