If you have no brain and the temperament of a coward, ‘leading from behind’ is a substitute for strategy.
Did anyone actually expect them to succeed? If so you need to take another look at the incompetence we have in congress.
Folks may not want programs (like social security) to be cut, but they will be.
Folks may not want massive government budget cuts, related layoffs and a spike in unemployment, but it has to happen.
One year from now, five years from now, ten years from now. It's coming, and the fix will be painful and unwanted by nearly all. We cannot dodge the bullet. And the longer we wait, the worse it will be.
In the big game, when it was his turn at bat, Obama was sitting in the stands eating a snocone.
It’s hard for me to comprehend how people that make it to Washington DC can be that stupid...it makes more sense that they are just criminals.
I think a large percentage of these people really should be in prison.
The super-committee idea was never anything more than a political strategy by Obama and the democrats. It was cynical strategy that was from the beginning intended to pretend that, Obama and the democrats were dealing to solve the spending and debt problems, but the real intentions were to have the committee fail and then blame the republicans.
It’s nothing more than playing politics with the future of the country, for partisan political gain. It’s party over country, pure and simple.
There’s got to be a way to explain to the general population about how sinister Obama and the democrats have been about negotiations.
as said earlier: “If you have no brain and the temperament of a coward, ‘leading from behind’ is a substitute for strategy.”
It accomplishes more of the same “ kicking the can down the road” , and mandates cuts that both parties/ power elites couldn’t , or wouldn’t make. The unfortunate thing is that the mandated cuts are NOT in the areas where they should be.
” It’s hard for me to comprehend how people that make it to Washington DC can be that stupid...it makes more sense that they are just criminals.”
The power elites like it this way. If you , or I did the same (as did Martha Stewart),it is called ‘insider information’ , and is punishable by imprisonment according to the “Law of the Land”. Somehow , they exempt themselves from the “Law of the Land” . I thought that somewhere there was a statement that Congress shall pass no law that exempts itself from following ... ?
This is so eloquent in its brevity while painting a perfect picture of the whole situation. Every member of Congress should have this emblazoned above the inside of their office door.
“Witnessing the Republicans and the Democrats bicker over the U.S. Debt is like watching two drunks argue over a bar bill on the Titanic.”
He's honed the act for years, the pretension that he is the smartest man in the room and all knowledge flows from him. All Academic with no score card to defend. Someone in the class is going to embarrass his holiness with his record 5 trillion dollar losses at our expense.
” It’s nothing more than playing politics with the future of the country, for partisan political gain. It’s party over country, pure and simple.”
It was designed to fail
They all wanted it to fail
they all could say :” It’s not my fault”
It is just more of the same ole , same ole , etc..
We need statesmen , ... not more politicians !!
What else did you expect from someone who only voted : “Present” ?
We voted as a nation on an unknown Soros candidate... who was “present”.
and We got a socialist/ facist !
Harvard’a finest /s
Lemmie see................
Spending 3-1/2 TRILLION DOLLARS MORE??
Gotta be SOMEBODY’S idea of a success, but my idea of a failure.
Eventually the husband kicks the bucket or shoots the wife.
That’s a very significant date for two reasons: first, that’s a staggering difference from a CBO estimate just five years ago, and secondly because it is also the date that Nancy Pelosi took control of the nation’s checkbook as Speaker of the House. The spending binge and budget baseline increases implemented by the Congressional Democrats and Obama completely blew apart any semblance of fiscal discipline.
Nancy Pelosi is the face of liberal democrats - we need to oust her, and all those like her! Unfortunately, short of a catastrophic earthquake that wipes out her district in San Francisco, this won’t happen!
Indeed obama has no problem with spending other people’s money,it’s a ghetto habit.
We can only pray that the DoD is not totaly trashed. I retired from the military and am now one of the "despised" DoD civilians who double-dips, makes way too much for my skills, and is a drain on all the good and decent folks - I have been watching the evolution of what's happening and we are in deep doo doo now. Slashing the budget will create an untenable situation for our fine military folks.
Seriously, if Newt debates him - that alone would justify nominating Newt. No doubt, The One would dredge up Newt’s record, but Newt would respond.
