Republicans and a dozen Democratic defectors in the Senate have dealt a defeat to President Barack Obama just days after he pressed Congress to renew pieces of last year's economic bill.

After coming out on the losing end of a 52-45 test vote, Obama's Democratic allies have been forced back to the drawing board in their efforts to extend unemployment benefits for the long-term jobless and provide $24 billion in aid to cash-strapped state governments.

Yes, that is what they are banking on, but it is going to go the other way, those unemployed are regular Americans, who want good jobs, their cars, vacations, family and love. They will not stand for tyranny!

Thank you. It’s the solution to what many see as a puzzle.

Despite all the racism in "Black Liberation" thought, it's really about overthrowing Capitalism. The Communists just use race as a means for justifying revolution.

Sooner or later?

Yes.

When the unemployment ends who will they blame? It’s either bread and circuses or some more chinese money to burn until after the mid-term elections. Unemployment can’t go on forever.

I suppose I should defer to you on this but it's difficult given the level of hatred you see at street level. These folks don't care about isms. They just want to kick your ass.

Who's going to stick their necks out for this guy in an already tough election year for Dems ?

Some will. Not enough, but some can get away with it and will.

Obama will try to create his citizens groups, government funded jobs with more folks under his socialist umbrella. He has bankrupted America and Americans.

“He has bankrupted America and Americans.”

With all due respect, we’ve been doing that too ourselves DECADES before Obama came to Power. Not to say he hasn’t expedited the process...exponentially...

“What’s the end game? “

That’s what I keep wondering.

There are two possibilities:

1. He is just really stupid. That is possible. He does not strike me as an unusually stupid or unusually bright man. I truly believe I could make better financial decisions than he does, easily. But he can call on anyone with economic brains for advice. So I don’t know how much I believe he is this stupid.

2. He is destroying the economy on purpose. Then I wonder, why? Just mindless hatred of America, or hatred of prosperity? Just because he can? To pay off people who will make it worth his while? What?
