“Why do we need a fricking ‘PANEL’???”

To pass tax increases as bi-partisan.

“...talk, talk, talk...and then do nothing.”

I think we’d all be a lot better off if he did nothing.

Dear zer0,

Here’s your panel findings:

The deficit is too big.

Cut taxes, cut spending.

Thank you very much.

It might a good idea to create a couple of committees to oversee that panel...you know, just in case they miss something important.;-)

such a commission would buy time for the White House and Congress, putting off decisions until after this year’s midterm elections

Money quote.

A laugh-track has set itself up in my head. It goes off every time this guy does anything.

“President Obama plans to create a bipartisan commission to make recommendations to Congress on ways to reduce the federal budget deficit under an agreement reached Tuesday night at the White House.”

Piss money away like a maniac for a year and then hire a commission to study the deficit.

This idiot is incompetent and delusional.

Putting together a panel is very “community organizerish”, isn’t it...Obama is a classic example of “The Peter Principle” in action...magritte

Any Republican being “bipartisan” and getting on this panel needs to be dismissed. To become “part” of the problem is a stupid move ... let the Dems “study it” ... they made it happen. Republicans should stay totally away from this thing.

I agree...However, it's frustrating to constantly listen to the state run media trying to attribute some level achievement for this jackass...

It's OK though...the Brown victory has really given me a renewed sense of hope for the future in many ways.

Place locks on the front doors of Congress.

To that I would add, while they are in session. Nothing goes in. Nothing leaves. Cut off power and communications. Let 'em all rot.

A panel to discuss deficit spending? How much is THAT going to cost? (Partly in sarcasm, partly shaking my head).

Does anyone really believe this kind of baloney anymore? I mean I’ve lost count of how many budgetary departments the government already has in place, but now we need a panel? B.S. They need to just do the job we already pay them to do.

The panel will consider token spending cuts in exchange for the VAT, and get some fool Republican to go along to provide cover.

It’s because they want someone else to decide, and then they don’t have to make the hard decisions... except stacking the deck in choosing who is on the panel.
