Considering that the only name I heard mentioned as a possible replacement was Jon Corzine, it does not matter.

He'll stay true to form, it seems. We'll get the inane statement today, another next week, and then, finally, in three weeks, something coherent.

It will be too late by then, of course.

Looks like Perry is getting in- so, maybe the media will regret keeping Daniels out of the race.

They are SOOOO going to hate having another Texas republican president- with a republican senate and house, to boot.

Then, we'll see some debt cutting, and job growth. I guess the media will tell us that the seeds of the real recovery were planted by Obama. They do, so, believe in fairy tales.

Please Mr. President.... no more rhetoric or platitudes!! It's the spending for crying out loud! Be a leader, cut spending, fire Timmy, and get out from behind Harry Reid's legs!

Not I, GBO. I know for a fact that being governor of the same state does NOT make two people clones of each other.

The liberals, (and you know as well as I that the media is so far left they cannot see the middle), are another story.

This is going to make their heads explode.

Looks like Perry is getting in- so, maybe the media will regret keeping Daniels out of the race.

Off subjec but...ah, yes, it's the media's fault that Daniels decided not to run.

O'bla bla - please spare us the lies and rethoric. I am sick of this guy grandstanding all the time. He'd do much better if he kept his trap shut. We don't need any explanations or excuses for his failures.

Credit rating of the USA when President Carter left office: AAA

Nice going Obama, now you're worse than Carter, not that you weren't already.

So who's the biggest idiot?

The person who said that unemployment will not exceed 8.5% once the stimulus is passed; OR

The person who said just two months ago that the country's credit rating would not get downgraded?

Perhaps this administration should get out of the prediction business. It's just not very good.

Well, the Tea Terrorist got their wish.

Spanky, I wish they would get out of the business of governing altogether. They are destroying us.

It is totally predictable that the worshippers on this site seek to reassign the blame for this latest failure- the single greatest failure of any president in the over two hundred year history of this country.

I say, let's have a look at that Libya thing again. Add in the billions he gave his donors, the misappropriation of the repaid TARP funds. . .

And impeach him.

Well, all of you smug Republicans, Tea Partiers, Conservatives, Independents et al can just find something else to amuse you this afternoon.

Those of us who care about the country will be listening to the President.

Quiet please...

That's right fielden - support him all the way. As our country goes down the tubes, at least you can say you chose the leader that is doing it to us and refuse to alter your thinking one iota. You fit very well with those who went down with the Titanic... they had faith that the ship wouldn't ever sink either. I understand the water was cold... very cold indeed.

Well, fielden, seems you will have to wait.

And wait.

It's 1:34 p.m. I guess they're having trouble dragging him out to the podium.

It's a lead pipe cinch he won't take questions. Not that the media would ask anything more difficult than "gee, whiz- isn't S&P mean?"

Two hundred thirty five years without a downgrade.

Until Obama.

I guess that's the change you people believed in.

Yeah right.....it's 1:45 PM and no Obama....

Things are so awful for the righties these days - they've reduced themselves to whining about punctuality...

LMFAO!

Anything to keep from OWNING the fruits of their labor! ;o)

The President's address was just exactly right - the market today for US bonds was very strong, the S&P downgrade indeed reflected the dysfunctional rigidity of the Tea Party, and the need for Congress to act more rationally is evident. Interesting that he has decided to put together a series of proposals for the Super Committee to consider.

His acknowledgement of the tragedy in Afghanistan also properly cried "shame!" on the obstructionists who reject the values of the nation.

I agree with you, John A.

It's really too bad that there are so many naysayers and nitpickers here who have no interest in working to keep our country great. They would rather hate and complain. Sad...

When the dust settles

The Tea Party will be the only ones standing

We have more ammo

I'm waiting to see if Obama takes at least some responsibility for this mess... and to kick Tim G out.

Jody - I might agree with you about Obama if he had actually written his plan down so the world could read it. Simply saying "this and that" doesn't cut it.

Let's wait and see if Obama blames Bush.

That"only adult in the room" thing is so played out...

New Rule: let's not take anything "hostage" anymore either, and while I'm at it no more 3...2...1.garbage in...

3...2...1..

There are NO adults in the room, this one included...

(and I mean that in both senses of the word, including moi)

Amazing how many people forget that the President warned us that Congress needed to pass a $4 trillion debt reduction plan like the "grand bargain" or the S&P would lower our credit rating.

Instead of listening to the President, many people listened to Speaker Boehner's rebuttal where he claimed the President wasn't serious about debt reduction.

Let's see, Speaker Boehner and Senator McConnell designed the bill that passed. It cut the debt by half of what the President said was necessary to avoid the credit downgrade.

Congress should have listened to the President.

Oh well, what can we expect when 25% of the country still thinks the President wasn't born in the US.

DJESQ

"When the dust settles

The Tea Party will be the only ones standing

We have more ammo"

Well, good then- because you sure as hell have zero for brains.

Maybe the President should have listened to the President. Perhaps you missed the bipartisan vote and the President signing the bill? They are all complicit and if the President KNEW then hes should have stood up for the country and what he believed in. The buck doesn't stop with the congress...

The President hasn't spoken yet & the rabid righties are unable to keep their hate in check until he does...

All it proves is, you are unwilling to even listen...

Astonishing... simply astonishing...

PS: Then we have the 'Rhinestone Cowboy' threatening those in disagreement with 'ammo'! lol

But just ask them Feisty...
They have hundred of excuses for refusing to be lead by a capable leader like our President, but it is not because they are prejudiced and just can not stand the idea of a black President ---just ask them.

Yeah, right!

Simply assinine as well as astonishing. They will be the downfall of America.

Thanks for the 'heads up', FR.

It makes sense that allowing a few days to pass would leave the shock and grief to somewhat settle, and clearer thinking to prevail.

I would also agree with FR's comment this morning, that a strong move by the President is due.

Now, can we finally get serious about jobs?

Hint: WPA

Those of us on the right know the amount of BS that freely flows from the office of O'Bla Bla. He should go down as the most complaining president in history... also the most transparent... We see right through him.

Brianb:

... also the most transparent... We see right through him.

Really?!

That's quite a talent. You should be on Ghosthunters, or something like that.

Hey, Ira --

Dow's now down 326.

Where's that rally?

Lets speculate on what Obama will say - it can go one of several ways:

1) The economy is strong, the markets are sound (too bad no one will believe it)

2) We have to work together, have a balanced approach, do the right thing, have a shared sacrifice, work towards a common goal (all fluff, no substance).

3) The Congress/Republicans/Tea Party/George Bush/S&P are to blame

4) Yes We Can - but not this term, next term

Dow's now down 326

When Obama used to get criticised, the Libs would go "Yeah, well, look at the stock market". You can't even point to that as a success anymore Libs.

I'm not fan.

But let's look at reality on this one.

A lot of bond-agencies have municipals wherein the entire operating line of the municipal fund is "To invest in bonds of agencies with a AAA rating."

Of course the market must go down, a lot of funds are required by law to liquidate US treasury bonds right now.

Wait a week or two, for the dust to settle. That's when you'll see the 'real' ramifications of the action and not the knee-jerk/mandated activity.

It won't go down that far. Heck, we fully repudiated the debt in '34. When we could no longer afford to commit to pay bondholders.

I noticed a lot of people like to overlook that, or are just plain ignorant when talking about the current crisis. It's nothing new, y'all. And, eventually, we'll be forced to repudiate it again. It's in the nature of government and credit.

You can't even point to that as a success anymore Libs.

You know, JoAnna, it's funny. I saw this coming a long time ago, and acted accordingly.

But my view about WHY it was coming had less to do with President Obama, and a lot more with what I was observing in the thinking and behavior of the Tea Party and the Republicans in general. They're every bit as "transparent" as President Obama.

On Tuesday, your side declared 98 percent victory and crowed about the defeat of the Democrats.

But the fact that the market has refused to rally around the deal is no surprise to me.

Granted, President Obama let the Tea Party and the Republicans drive the bus -- and oh, by the way, by inference you might reasonably conclude that I saw THAT coming, too -- but driving it, they are.

Jody - what does that mean anyway?

I bet you have no idea. Or is it that the only adult in the room took a hostage but was blown up by a terrorist?

Hey AM - they down graded Freddie and Fannie, but not Cali? Let's see in the last 5 years Cali has had to issue IUOs, and every year threatens to do so. Chaing, our control has a heart attack every year over the insolvency.

But hey Cali has not been down graded, so we are good. We are all good, right?

Cali only destroys Cali. It's yet to create a complex scheme wherein it drags the rest of the world down right it.

Or, more appropo, Los Angeles, riverside and san francisco only destroy san diego and sonoma.

Anna - It doesn't take talent to see through someone that has led this country into the ditch. He is failing at every turn... something we conservatives predicted before he was elected. As the liberals were trying to bait the conservatives with lines like we are racists, those taunts never changed the fact that Obama is incapable of handling the pressures associated with the job. For all the retoric thrown our way, the direction of this country has dramatically declined. Either he does know what he's doing, and doing this on purpose, or he doesn't know what he's doing... the guy is bad for America. His failures outweigh his successes by miles. I, for one, will be glad to see him leave the White House. For as much as you may not see it, I am not alone in this.

Brianb: Anna - It doesn't take talent to see through someone that has led this country into the ditch

Annie is on her "Boehner got 98% of what he wanted" World Tour. She carries that phrase around like some kind of a talisman and some kind proof that its the Tea Party that now owns the economy, and not Obama. It certainly has convinced her, and some other weak-minded Libs. Anything to not blame Obama, the only President of all time that will not have had anything at all to do with the economy, at least for the Libs.

JoAnna:

Annie is on her "Boehner got 98% of what he wanted" World Tour. She carries that phrase around like some kind of a talisman and some kind proof that its the Tea Party that now owns the economy,

Which part is false?

You don't mean to say that John Boehner lied?! Mercy me.

Perish the thought.

By the way, I don't need me no talisman. My mood ring today is dark blue, as always. Look it up.

But hey Cali has not been down graded, so we are good. We are all good, right?

We're good, Spankster. At least you and I know where our money is right now.

As for California, told you so about that one, too.

AM: Which part is false?

You struggle with the magnitude of what it means, but it's easy to see what you want it to mean. You want to be delusional, that's your problem.

JoAnna

Looks like he hit items 1,2 and 3.

1) The economy is strong, the markets are sound

2) We have to work together, have a balanced approach, do the right thing, have a shared sacrifice, work towards a common goal.

3) The Congress/Republicans/Tea Party/S&P are to blame. He didn't name Bush.

Still nothing about his plan. TBD as he said. What was he doing over the weekend?? Does he need a listening tour in Iowa and the midwest to tell him?? BTW he is going from plain folk straight to his Cape Cod vacation. Not a lot of plain folk there.

REB: Looks like he hit items 1,2 and 3

Obama, nothing special. Recall those booming, roof raising, fist pounding speeches of his years ago? Where'd those go?

Markets down another -100 since Obama had his rant. Nice job Barry. We knew we could count on you.

Agree

This guy gives empty suits a bad name!!!!

Lets say the US is a corporation who hires a CEO to make the corporation richer. But there is a small group of subordinates that no matter what the CEO tries this group sabotages, and the corporation can't do nothing to fire them. That example is what is happening in the US. The president's actions are being sabotaged by a small group of the leaders in congress. Their main priority have been to make sure Obama fails. So, unless that small group leaves or gets fire this will continue to happen because unlike a corporation the US will not be able to survive unless the president have success. The president is like the CEO, when CEOs fail so do the companies those CEOs work for.

that's priceless ---- Time for the CEO to get fired afrommi

Excuse me, but the President repeatedly warned that we needed $4 trillion in debt reduction.

He told Americans to contact Congress and ask their delegates to support the $4 trillion debt reduction plan known as the "grand bargain".

Unfortunately, Congress refused. In fact, Speaker Boehner and Senator McConnell were the ones who designed the $2.1 trillion debt reduction plan saying this is all that Congress could pass.

It's a shame the Tea Party and the extreme left refused to listen when the S&P said the President's "grand bargain" was a step in the right direction.

The S&P even laughed at the Ryan budget that the Tea Party supported. The S&P pointed out Ryan's budget (which was supported by every member of the Tea Party) did nothing during the first 10 years. In fact, the Tea Party supported Ryan plan required 4 more years to achieve a balanced budget than the President's bipartisan debt committee's plan would.

It's time to demand both the Tea Party and the extreme left sit down and shut up. Get the $4 trillion in debt reduction done this week or stop being paid by taxpayers.

Hey, Dan? How much was it that Obama added to the debt in two and a half years?

Oh. Right. Four trillion dollars, more or less.

Maybe he just should not have spent it in the first place.

You must be referring to the 4 trillion in the House passed Cut, Cap, & Balance plan. The only real plan put on paper - not some 4 trillion would-a-could-a plan the President might have thought about but never talked to anyone about. The "I thought about it Plan" doesn't hold up against one that's written down on paper.

Apparently, millions forget that the President was on national television discussing the "grand bargain".

Remember, Speaker Boehner walked away from the $4 trillion debt reduction plan known as the "grand bargain". It's a shame that so many Americans refuse to follow the news.

Dan G,

Let's run ads for months reminding seniors that the Cut, Cap, and Balance bill would have reduced their Social Security and Medicare immediately.

At least the President realizes we should instead be looking at a solution similar to President Reagan. Gradually increase the age so that people have time to adjust and you don't hurt existing seniors.

President Obama continues to pursue shared sacrifice plans like President Reagan did.
Unfortunately so many seem to forget what President Reagan did.

Dan,

Obama discussed this Grand Bargain in very general terms and changed his mind many times about what cuts were acceptable , and somehow kept bring up raising taxes. Which is a political move, because raising the taxes on the rich would not even supply a drop in the bucket to help anything. All he cares about is dividing the country and preaching hate about anyone that does not agree with him. The president got greedy and now he has to pay for it.

Right, Dan. In the same way he was on television talking about his revised budget.

You know the one- the one CBo could not score because they "do not score speeches".

So, a plan that is referred to in a speech, but never committed to paper for CBO scoring is a plan only in the mind of the rambling idiot who is running this country into the ground.

And his chanting idolators.

I remember President Obama making plans for the Grand Bargain. I remember him saying he was willing to cut medicare and ssn. I also remember thinking he would never get ANY VOTES for it from the democratic party. He and the Demcratic party never put one thing regarding medicare and ssn on paper as to what they would be willing to cut. He knew he'd never get any democrat to vote to cut anything. So once again, it was just one more EMPTY promise from President Obama.

Realhope,

I guess you forget that Speaker Boehner agreed to most of those tax increases.

It wasn't until the last week when Speaker Boehner went back and talked to his caucus that he realized the Tea Party would never vote for President Reagan's common sense solution of ending tax loop holes.

It's a shame the Tea Party hates President Reagan so much.

At this point, the President and a handful of Senators seem to be the only one willing to compromise.
Rational Republican Senators agreed to raise revenues in the Gang of Six and rational Democratic Senators agreed to cut entitlements.

The Tea Party criticized them for offering a compromise solution.
The extreme left criticized them for offering a compromise solution.

With O'Bla Bla's falling ratings and S&P's downgrade, things aren't looking up for the boy wonder. I say boy wonder only to point out that when ever I think about O'Bla Bla.... I always start it off by saying "Boy I wonder what he's doing to hurt this country now."

At least the liberals aren't fair weather friends... they will stick to him like glue, even when he's doing his level best to destroy this country.

The Crisis shows that what the Tea party and McConnell promised was to "make sure Obama fails". Not caring that Obama is the CEO of this company (The US) and If he fails so will the country. But of course the GOP leaders do not care. They are not real Americans. Most of them belong to the Bohemian Grove Club where they go through the Burning of Care Ritual. What is not to care? Well, it does not take a lot of brains to know what is it they do not care about.

Why don't you run for president then? We'll see how well you do with the mess that gets left to you and see how you don't blame Obama. You're a hypocrite, just like the rest of your conservative brethren.

Maxx Power,

Well Said!!! I think most People agree with you. Someone just need to tell the corrupt media to stop spreading lies and trying to protect their big baby Obama!!

I would agree with a can of baked beans before i agreed with either of you.

Hell blame Bush- count on it.

He'll blame the republicans, count on it.

And S &P will come in for their share of the blame.

He'll praise Geithner "sacrificing" to stay on in "this crisis".

Then, he'll call for an "infrastructure bank"- because he thinks we're too dumb to hear "stimulous spending". Hey- it's a new campaign. He needs billions to pay off his new bundlers.

"Hell blame Bush- count on it.

He'll blame the republicans, count on it."

.....if the shoe fits.....

President Bush IS the main person to be blamed, along with the advisers who pushed his agenda. Why did President Bush send us into TWO wars without so much as asking us to buy savings bonds? Why did he authorize Medicare Part D without any way to pay for it? Why did we become so indebted to China under his administration? President Bush left the country in complete disarray -- notice that NO ONE asks him for a public appearance, NO ONE is clamoring for his advice. Gov. Huntsman worked for him, but you can be sure he won't appear alongside President Bush. No matter who is elected President in 2012, it is because of George W. Bush's legacy that the country is in the shape it's in. No matter who is elected, taxes will have to increase as spending is cut (including the military). If President Obama is a one-term president, you can be sure that his contribution to the economic decline will be much smaller than what President Bush did. Why is it that no Republicans dare call out President Bush and his advisers? Is it all because of money?

No one is calling out Bush, because he isn't the president. The president is responsible. Obama knew exactly what he was inheriting remember, he was a senator before he was president. Oh wait, he hardly ever showed up in the chamber because he was too busy out campaigning for president. Uhmmmm that sounds like his problem, maybe if had worked more than campaigned he could have done something about these problems.

The year is 2011, Kate. Obama has been president for TWO and a half years.

Unemployment when he took office was 7 and a half percent. It is now over nine- but actually, over twelve, if you count the millions BLS recategorized out of the labor force.

Not Obama's fault, according to you.

The debt was ten and a half trillion when Obama took office. He spent a bundle- on an Omnibus spending bill in 2009 that was loaded with earmarks, on a stimulous package that was supposed to help unemployment, on travel, and fancy new choo choo trains to nowhere, on windmill turbines manufactured in China, on travel, travel, travel. . .

So, none of that spending did anything but exacerbate unemployment, and add four trillion to the debt.

Not Obama's fault, according to you.

It's not Obama's fault the vast majority of people want his HCR repealed. It's not his fault that he did not direct the Agriculture department to take the actions necessary to increase the supply of corn and wheat and forestall the latest chaos in the Middle East, despite receiving plenty of warning. Ts not his fault his own appointees are enacting policies that reduce employment, rather than allowing an atmosphere that inspires the business community to expand and hire.

None of it is Obama's fault.

So, tell me, Kate, since he is so obviously helpless in the face of so many crises, why do you believe he should remain president. It is obvious that even you do not believe he is capable of governing, so why on earth should he continue in a job for which he is so obviously unsuited?

Just to make you swoon when he appears on television?

Nasty is as nasty does, NoJo, and you are certianly a nasty poster. We all know that you have a visceral hatred for the President -- what happens to the country is less important to you than posting your relentless attacks each day. However, I am more concerned for the country. President Bush ruined the country, and if you think that anyone can right the ship in the same amount of time he had to ruin it, you are mistaken. If a new President is elected in 2012, how much time will you give that person to get back to where Bush left things? 21/2 years? The ACA will remain -- you claim that people want it repealed, but it hasn't even gone into effect yet, and when it does, it will help the state of the economy. I am waiting for any Republican candidate to be honest enough to admit what we all know: George W. Bush was toxic for the US. All the current candidates go back to Reagan -- that was 30 years ago. Gov. Huntsman worked for George W. Bush's administration, but left...why? A policy disagreement? A realization that the administration was bad news? We'll never know. Gov. Romney? Gov. Pawlenty? Or even you.... do you not recognize what happened to the country between 2001 and 2009?

Over two hundred years old.

It took Obama to get our credit rating reduced.

Not the Great Depression. Not World War II, not the stagflation years, or the market crash of 1987 or 2008.

Obama's incoherent administration, complete with outrageous sounding, the absence of budgets, a foreign policy that might have been designed by backwards third graders,

And a Commerce Department that redefines lack of credibility. See, never before have the GDP numbers been revised by so much in every single quarter.

You look at all of that, continue to lavish praise on your idol, and I'M the one who does not care about my country?!?!?!?!

I don't "hate" Obama, the man. I do HATE what he has DONE to my country. I am infuriated by the destruction in every single area- and I feel nothing but contempt for those of you still so brainwashed that you continue to worship him.

He's a disaster. He's an incompetent narcissist. These are not qualities that typically lead to success, but even I did not appreciate the level of destruction he could visit on this nation.

At least Bush was always on time.

At least Bush was always on time.

Bush might have been on time but, once he opened his nouth everyone was too busy cringing to remember! lol

I had NO Idea the S&P had been rating our credit worthiness for over 200 years,...ya' know, someone else mentioned Medusa on a Bachman thread; but damnit, I fell for it on a njnb rebuttal. Must look away, must look away

What a complete disingenous troll. No perspective on where HER country was when the election took place. And someone else mentioned the TRILLIONS added by Obama; but not one mentioned that TARP and 1st Auto Bailouts were on the 2009 Fiscal Year. So priceless,...

That's funny, the right's defense of Bush is that he was on time. We waited on Bush a good number of times as well but rarely did Bush address the people with any regularity.

The last Bush wait was when "W" waited for McCain to show up so he could endorse him in 2008; he did a little tap dance for us to keep us entertained.

It took Obama to get our credit rating reduced.

Nope, it took the Tea Party to get our credit rating reduced.

McConnell and company saw the debt ceiling as "a hostage worth taking."

Boehner "got 98% of what I wanted."

S&P rendered their decision based on the crisis the GOPTP manufactured.

Johnnie B, Des Moines, IA: Nope, it took the Tea Party to get our credit rating reduced.

How desperate the leftwingers have become. Blaming a minority of House members for the 2.6 years of non-leadership from Obama. Blaming 60 members of the House, who have been there 7 months, for the problems of the country. You Leftists are just so pathetic. Obama spends trillions, and just wastes it, and you Liberals don't put any responsibility on Obama, but have to find, something, anything else to put your hate on.

Got to admire you Libs though. You're undying love for this man is eternal. Everyone has to worship something I guess.

McConnell and company saw the debt ceiling as "a hostage worth taking."

Boehner "got 98% of what I wanted."

S&P rendered their decision based on the crisis the GOPTP manufactured.

Do you sit in your tree house and chant this stuff?

The brinkmanship of the game played by the Republicans is what mainly contributed to the downgrade and if you read the report you'd know that.

People who take glee in their country's setbacks are called treasonous.

Nojo, what have you done to help your country? You do realize that you are part of the problem as you continue to undermine our President and his administration, or maybe you do and you dont care...

Perhaps just once you could explain where your ugly hatred comes from or what motivates you. It would not appear to be love of country.

JoAnna, you are willing to blame Obama for everything after 2 1/2 years in office but you can't assign any blame to the Tea Party after "only" 7 months?!

And you wonder why no one takes you seriously?!

JoAnna: You're undying love for this man is eternal

Exceeded only by your venomous hatred...

Whatever it is, i'm sure it's more exciting and informative than your post - YAWN.

Funny i've never heard him say "Bush did it". But I see plenty of GOP/TPers saying "Obama did it". Real adults? Pfft...I think not.

Don't foul one of my favorite songs by using it in your senseless babbling post. Hyporcrite.

Is he wrong about compromise and ending partisan bickering? And what about jobs...Where is congress on jobs...that's right on vacation.

Yeah, because that got us where we need to be right? The GOP/TP did a fine job f&*king up our economy. "98% of what they wanted" They OWN IT.

Your explanation of the Republicans "goal" is spot on, it is sad indeed to see congressmen that swore to do what is best for the country celebrate it's suffering just to make the sitting President look bad, they should all be charged with treason and put before a firing squad. Patriotism, morals and honesty are not part of the "new" republicans platform.

I guess Eric Cantor is making a fortune right now. You know he had an investment that would skyrocket if the market goes down. 2008 Wall Street Journal - Murdoch's rag.

The trolls are out thick today, trying to blame Obama even before he speaks.

This whole take-over by the rich reminds me of a game my boys were playing one day with play money. The 6 year old figured out a way to get all the money and made rules so he would always have all the money. When both of the 4 year olds figured out the game was rigged and they could never win back any money, they wanted to change the game rules to just give them a chance. The older with all the money refused to change the rules to be more fair. The little guys after arguing with no results finally just left in disgust and went and played somewhere else.

The rich are trying to take complete control of our country, the Ryan budget plan was to make it virtually impossible to raise taxes again on the rich when you need a 2/3 majority to do it.

Once the game is rigged you better believe the rich are not going to let in fairer rules like allowing themselves to be taxed.

If they are trying this hard with a democratic president and democratic senate to destroy America and hand her to the rich. Think of the damage they can do if we are stupid enough to ever vote for another republican again for anything.

w bush said,

Patriotism, morals and honesty are not part of the "new" republicans platform

So Harry Reid saying "the war is lost" is patriotic? and I could go on and on...

So stop with all the high and mighty bullsh-t ... it makes you look ridiculous!!

The cold hard fact is this administration is a total epic failure!!

Even Ray Charles can see that!!

Even Ray Charles can see that!!

Oh i get it because he's blind! Good one.

Then why isn't it so blatently obvious to those members of congress that can see that they screwed the pooch by not taking up the President on the "Grand Bargain". Because they were indeed "blinded" by power and greed. But in the end all they'll get is a pink slip.

Democrats 2012. We're Back and Mad As Hell.

Didn't 95 democrats vote for the recent debt ceiling increase in the house? I call that bipartisan.

Problem is it was a horrible bill. The Dems dont want to face reality, they just want to blame and hate. They want to destroy whats left of this country so it can become socialist. That's when most of the liberal idiots that post on this site will finally get it. We can learn from Cuba and Venezuela, the press and the libs loved castro and Chevez too. Now look what they got!!

Realhope,

Don't complain to the Dems about a horrible bill that was crafted by your leadership. I say YOUR leadership because Boehner is no leader of mine.

Excellent point "Dubya"

GBO,

So what? He made a point and i supported it. why vote for someone who has nothing to say? I guess i'm supposed to jump off a bridge now. Douche.

Priceless!

And no sense or mention of IRONY, whatsoever. I cannot stop laughing, must catch my breath.

Stocks Plunge After US Credit Downgrade

Did you miss the headlines, or do you just not get it????????

Hey - nice spin on the RNC/Tea Party daily rhetorical talking point though. What will they spin tomorrow? Never get tired of your sales pitches, do you; even when all us voters see through it.
