Gallup: Obama job rating sinks below 40% for first time (DU post with comments)
OK, Here's a sample, we can only wish our side was this smart:
Comment 11. A Quote From Kevin Drum of Mother Jones "Honest to God, Republicans must all be sitting in their back rooms and just cackling like hell right now. Think about it. They developed a strategy to hamstring the president completely — a strategy that's bulletproof thanks to our country's Constitution — knowing that it would rally their base but also hoping that it would cause moderates and lefties alike to become disgusted with Obama's weakness even though we all know who's really responsible for what's going on. And it worked! In fact, it's worked better than they could possibly have imagined. They can probably barely keep from spitting up their beers right now. We are such chumps".
“DU laugh ping.”
Denial ...It ain’t just a river in Egypt.
Obama and the Republicans agreed Congress would set up a twelve man committee, and decide what cuts must be made under the agreement. And if they fail to agree, the military gets bent over the cuts barrel ‘for deliverance’.
No agreement will be possible with six Democrats and six Republicans that haven’t stood up against the left basically since Reagan.
So basically what we have here, is:
Obama gets his new $17+ trillion dollar spending limit.
He’s already back to spending like a fiend.
The military is going to take the brunt of the cuts.
And the folks on D.U. are unhappy about this?
Wow. I hope none of those folks win the lottery. They would be positively miserable if they did.
Thanks sickoflibs.
