Obama Administration wins again

To the Tea Party - I say thank you for your efforts. You fought one hell of a fight and made a huge difference with the American people.

To the GOP - I say you failed us once again. And once again, you proved that you are just big government, big spending, liberals.

To the Dumbocrats - I say congratulations. The party that has been hijacked by radical Marxists/Socialists/Communists is one step closer to their ultimate goal of bringing down America, and replacing it's Capitalism with Communism. You even managed to convince your followers that the Tea Party "won" with this new bill so you can later blame them for the failure. I've got to hand it to you radicals - you are damn good with the insane propaganda. Somewhere (most likely in hell - where most of you will end up), Joseph Stalin is proud.

Actually I think the Tea Party messed up and messed up big time. They prioritized protecting some high reasonable revenue enhancements over actaully making real progress on the deficit.

Now the Tea Party/Far right wing is going to hear about Hedge Fund managers and Oil company tax loopholes the entire election season, and how they prioritized these items over deficit reduction. Most middle of the road voters see no reason why Hedge Fund managers should be paying 15% taxes when everyone else pays 33%.

Just like the left wing Democrats, they got elected and substantially overplayed their hand. They will now either have to swallow those same revenue enhancements or be responsible for huge cuts in Medicare and Defense.

I think it's you that is missing the irony. Tea Bagger god Ronald Reagan asked for debt limit increases to the tune of almost 200%. Why such opposition to this President?

Willful ignorance is willful ignorance. If they don't want to get it - they don't. Or they're just that stupid. Probably both, actually.

Isnt that just cute. Not using dollar amounts and all.

I would guess this difference is how you measure. For an example: Bush signed Prescription Drug benefits as an entitltement. It hits Obama's budget and their is little he can do about it. Does that count as Buch or Obama?

I would guess in the chart it is counted as Bush and in the number of increase you have counted it under Obama.

Let's ask what the chart is actually supposed to show. I would bet the Leftists here couldn't read a chart if their lives depended on it.

The fact that the debt ceiling was tied to the budget in the first place and not a clean bill...like has been done 102 times since 1917, including 18 times for Reagan...means that the Tea Baggers *won".

*were mostly successful in their hostage negotiations

It can also be considered somewhat of a success for President Obama in that the main hostage, the debt ceiling, was not killed outright as many of the Tea Baggers wanted.

we wouldn't have to raise the debt ceiling if not for the failure of leadership from the white house.

So leadership "failed" about once a year for 100 years on average. So, what was different this time...other than this president?

beats me, ask obama, he's the one who said it.

“The fact that we are here today to debate raising America’s debt limit is a sign of leadership failure,” Obama said. “It is a sign that the U.S. Government can’t pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government’s reckless fiscal policies. … Leadership means that ‘the buck stops here.’ Instead, Washington is shifting the burden of bad choices today onto the backs of our children and grandchildren. America has a debt and a failure of leadership. Americans deserve better. I therefore intend to oppose the effort to increase America’s debt limit.”

BettyBoop and Seahag didn't get the irony, Del

i didn't really expect them to.
