My brother likes to talk about Bible prophesies, he says the US will destroy itself from within, I think he said God warned us of this impending doom... So Bud are you referring to the evil Republican/Tea Party members who call President Obama and Tim Geithner, along with countless experts here and around the globe, LIARS when it comes to raising the debt ceiling so America does not default on her debts, Most of which are Republican Party debts?? These teabagger types are not worried in the least about impending doom, could it be because they welcome the doom?? Well 99% of America is not happy about your sit and wait attitude!. We want action and action we will get!
White House Communications Director Dan Pfeiffer
told CBS Radio News, "We are seven days away from an unprecedented
financial event in this country's history, one that could potentially
put us towards a depression because the House Republicans led by Speaker
Boehner are unwilling to compromise one inch." Depression or Armageddon?
The Boehner Plan includes a short term plan to reduce spending by ONLY 1.2 bil while extending the debt ceiling ONLY approximately 6 months. No wonder some House members are balking...
President Obama is supporting the Reid Plan which cuts spending by 2.7 tril over a decade with no new revenue, BUT does not touch Social Security, Medicare, or Medicaid. This is what compromise is. How much more does the Democratic Party have to give in compromises before the party of NO NO NO gives up and gives the American people what they are demanding?? Reid's plan cuts spending at the same level as the rise in the debt ceiling, so you tell me, what the hell is the House of Reps. doing?? My conclusion to this whole fiasco is, the Republicans do not know how our government or our economy works. When they let this group who calls themselves the Tea Party come in and take over the GOP lock, stock and barrel, you know it's because the Grand 'Ole Party was fresh out of ideas and thought what the hell, how bad could a group of patriots be, we'll give them a voice. Who's sorry now? I know the voters are...
President Obama does not want a depression, the American people certainly do not want a depression, the whole world is waiting and watching that little group of teabaggers (how pathetic is that) to see what their next move is. Geithner and the president, along with a small team of aides, have been working on contingency plans should Congress fail to raise the borrowing limit by August 2nd. Isn't that mind boggling, this minority in Congress is holding the government and the country hostage and they haven't a care in the world! Grow some balls John Boehner, get a fuckin grip on your damn party of teabaggers! What kind of Democracy gives a minority control to destroy the country and not a single thing can be done about it??
It feels like the Twilight Zone doesn't it?
UPDATE: Right after publishing this post I went to FB and saw this posted by Leslie...
A Republican member of the House of Representatives declared today
that President Barack Obama could be impeached if the U.S. defaults on
its debts.
The comment is from Rep. Steve King (R-IA), who told his followers on Twitter that they should "stop talking about" a potential U.S. default.
"The 1st dime of each $1 of revenue services debt," he wrote. "Obama would be impeached if he blocked debt payments."
HOLYFUCKINSHIT, It's the GOP's wet dream...

I thought they were planning to impeach the President when used the 14th Amendment to get this smoke and mirrors debate over with? Now they want another way to impeach because the President said he wouldn't use that method? These people are worth every penny our tax dollars pay them...NOT!!
Impeachment would fail in the Senate and exasperate the public. Obama wouldn't be in any danger. If the Republicans want to shoot themselves in the foot with that nonsense, let them.
There are ways out of this mess -- the Fourteenth Amendment option, printing money, the McConnell plan. Obama has to keep trying right down to the last minute, just in case the Republicans can be brought around (perhaps by their Wall Street backers, who are getting thoroughly alarmed now at the behavior of the teabaggers they themselves empowered).
The situation looks a lot worse from the Republicans' viewpoint than from ours. They've backed themselves into a corner and will damage themselves no matter what they do.
I've looked for the author of this saying but the best evidence I have found says that person is lost to history but it fits what we are going through: "Those whom the gods wish to destroy they first make mad."
Are we living in the Twilight zone? Well, the short answer is yes, but the devil is always in the details. I firmly believe that while our politicians are incompetent assholes who should hold no responsibility greater than it would take take to be a janitor in a public restroom the American people regularly send them back to Washington.
We get what we pay for folks, or in this case elect.
The Reid plan is a resignation all by itself. I think Obama should hand the reigns over to his Tea Party masters now. He lost and is nothing more than a figurehead (I fear).
They tried their damnedest to destroy Bill Clinton and they could not. Right now the Republicans in Washington are scrambling to come up with a way to destroy Barack Obama BUT they will Not be able to. In the end it is THEIR OWN party they are destroying!
Thanks Infidel, I feel better!
It's true BB. It really is the fault of the voter, but in the past decade the fault for all this mess lies with the Republican voters, fer shur...
John that's bullcrap..The Reid plan is fair even tho no revenues included. That will come later, it does not have to be included in this debt bill. It should be a CLEAN bill to begin with.
Yes BB! Their experiment in bring in "new blood" though,sure isn't working out well for them, or us! They think the solution is to run Government like a Small Business, but Government was never intended to run like a buiness.
and like what Melissa just said on Rachels show, those like Bachmann who say the government should act the same way as we act with our budgets! That's so fuckin lame and is a very immature way of thinking. Yea, our government needs to rip up its credit card, get a friggin life you teabaggers!
Yes Sue we are, I have recently come to believe, living in the twilight zone.
Both parties share some of the responsibility. Albeit as I have stated before the repubs wasted their opportunity and in the process lost credibility in the eyes of rational conservatives.
Congress in general deserves a d- at best and the President a c+.
There is a whole lot of ground to cover in a VERY short period of time. At this point I believe we will lose our AAA Rating. With it the cost of doing business will o up.
