Works for me.
Where’s the Obama plan?
Is a “statement of administration policy” any more likely to be true than a “bloviation from behind a podium”?
...and that’s a very good thing!
He loves it that he's dividing the right.
Good news: Obama will tank before America does. :>)
Leaving himself an out, huh? I'm beginning to anticipate another of those sore loser speeches like the one we heard after he lost the Bush tax cut extension vote. He's finally figured out that if he vetoes the bill and puts us into default, the public isn't going to look past the last guy to touch it while searching for someone to blame.
Boehner needs to go national with the following message:
“We in the House have submitted three proposals to cut back spending and try to get our nation`s fiscal house in some semblance of order. And three times we`ve met nothing but a brick wall from the President and the Senate.
“We steadfastly refuse to subject Americans to yet a deeper tax bite when in actuality there is enough revenue coming in to Federal coffers. Going forward, we are standing pat with the cut-cap-balabce legislation passed a week ago. We urge all Americans to contact their Senators and urge them to vote on and pass CCB forthwith. The House has completed its work on this matter.”
The House needs to keep shoveling reasonable bills towards Reid and Zer0.
Whatever happens with this legislation, there’s lots of new taxes and spending built into Obamacare and the ‘Bush’ tax cuts are scheduled to expire again in 2012.
Since the Conservatives don’t like it either, I guess there is a bipartisan consensus on something!
The demagoguery is breathtaking. Of course President Obama cannot veto the “GOP” bill, even if he wanted to. By definition, any bill that reached his desk would have had to have been approved by a Democrat-controlled Senate, which would make it - again, by definition - a bi-partisan bill. And any bill that made it to his desk would be signed by the President - unless the Democrat strategy was to pass a bill that Obama will veto. In other words, Reid is not going to pass a bill that Obama vetoes except on purpose.
What is most instructive is that the President and his minions are cynical enough to believe that their voting base is too stupid to understand the above.
They are correct on that point, IMO. I believe the average Obama voter does not understand our Constitutional process.
Treasury Secretary Geithner better talks some sense into Senator Reid before he causes a default
Paying off the banks and bond holders with higher interest rates. No wonder Goldman Sachs gave him so much money when he ran in 2008.
Fox News had a graphic while I was at lunch:
“BOEHNER BILL DEAD ON ARRIVAL”
to which the lady bartender kept trying to figure out who Boehner Bill was and why was he dead.
Let 0bama own it.
Neither bill is sufficient.
Moody’s and S&P have stated they are looking for cuts...not an increase in the debt ceiling.
Hey yo, would this fall under the media categorization of “unexpected”? /s =.=
