Gawd, some dude praised the teabaggers for having principle and how Obama is irrelevant with no principle.
Some progressive sites seem like they have turned into a Republican zone if you ask me.
You can't tell me this is about policy while you can't keep drooling your hateful words.
You
can't tell me there is no racism in so called progressive communities.
You should check out the daily spin to undermine Obama while using
bigoted and racist framing.

problem by any means possible for trying to do what he can with the

Fuck, don't you know that it is impossible for one person to single-handily bring down an entire nation in two and half years?
Hopeless.
You are hopeless when you spend all your time criticizing the President.
President Obama is not our enemy. He is our friend.

Sue, if it's any help, I've posted something from Eric Erickson (Eeeew!] over at my blog. He's a red as you get in the land of red haters. Erickson believes Mr. Obama won this.
I read the extremes and figure the truth of this deal lies somewhere in between those extremes.
Here's the crazy political times we live in: Paul Krugman, a liberal's liberal says Mr. Obama caved and is weak; Eric Erickson, an extreme conservative says Mr. Obama is some sort of undefeatable wizard at tricking the conservatives.
Erickson: Obama is winner
Krugman: Obama is loser
Both positions are extreme.
I just don't see where Obama caved with this deal! I don't get Krugman at all! Is it me or are these people not reading the details of the deal?? As long as the Bush tax cuts are allowed to expire in 2012 we will be fine. The triggers do nothing to SS, Medicare, Medicaid, or unemployment compensation, so what is the problem lefties? Huge cuts in defense spending is something you've been wanting right? Where is this deal bad for the country??
So, it all boils down to "it's all Bushes fault." I wish that were true.
Much of the "fault" does lie with GWB.
As I've said many times, the devil lies in the details. It will be interesting, quite interesting I think, to see where we are in 2014. Especially if BHO is reelected.
As Shaw said... the truth lies somewhere in between.
Somewhere between the "Tea Party Terrorists" and "The Debt Terrorists" methinks.
Krugman has a schtick or a brand. He's just performing to please an audience or keep his job. We may agree with him sometimes. Sometimes he even sounds like the only guy who gets it right. He is clearly blessed with an intelligence and keen insight. I would think in his private moments that he supports the president whole-heartedly.
The LA Times makes an interesting observation. Each side got their most important priority.
Republicans - no tax increase upper-income families.
Democrats - no cuts to Social Security, Medicaid and a handful of other programs that aid the elderly and the poor.
Obama - no default until after the 2012 presidential election.
Thank you. I am tired of hearing liberal bloggers castigating the president and saying they won't vote for him. So what are they going to do, vote for Michele Bachmann???
I know Mimi, these people better wake up and smell the coffee! There is way too much at stake to be upset over this bill. We have lots of work to do to keep those teabaggers out of our government!
