In a somber tone, he’ll announce that he “regrets” the Republicans will not help him reduce the deficit with a “balanced approach” (more taxes) that asks for “shared sacrifices” (more taxes). The blame will be laid at the feet of John Boehner. The Democrats want nothing but good for the country and the GOP refuses to listen to reason. That’s the current spin.
At the last minute a “deal” will be made that includes some cuts in spending and a few increases in “revenue”. Obama will take all the credit and say he saved America. Just watch.
He’s using this crisis of his making to score political points and that’s all IMO.
Hard to listen to him repeating his same points. I doubt he’ll have anything more to say then this isn’t his fault.
OK....and I agree....and I believe most other Americans know this. Some will want to hear it; others not so much.
But the repub/rino/conserv/tparty KNOW that these "spins" are exactly what is coming.
Question: why don't they attack first?
In a military analogy, it would be like an army's commanders knowing with full and complete knowledge - the enemy's battle strategy, number of combat units, the exact tactics the enemy will use in the battle, the "logistical" elements the enemy possesses....and yet they do nothing until after the enemy attacks and kills many of their troops.
Then after the attack, they make excuses about how awful the enemy treated them...whining and complaining the entire time.
Troops are dead...the enemy has won yet again....the army commanders had the full knowledge of the enemy and exactly how they were going to be attacked....and yet did nothing.
Truthfully, the republican party makes me sick.
