The Debt-Ceiling Is Fast Approaching Yet Obama Is Doing Nothing

[mudwhistle]

We were told last month that if we hit the Debt-Ceiling, which we have, the economy will completely fall apart. Well it hasn't.

Does anyone here see any urgency on Obama's part, or anyone for that matter? So much time and money is going into witch-hunts against political enemies like Sarah Palin and Chris Christie. They feel it's more important to go through 24,000 emails then it is to do something about the debt.

Obama left the so-called negotiations to VP Joe Biden. Well, when are they going to start negotiating? August is the deadline. Obama's economic team is leaving like rats on a sinking ship going back to their teaching jobs. Obama is conducting himself like everything is fine and it's really not his problem. No surprise here.

We're still in Iraq. We are in full combat mode in Afghanistan. We're dropping billions of dollars of bombs on Libya. We're sending drones into Pakistan. And now we've discovered that Obama is conducting a secret war in Yemen. How does he expect to pay for all of this if he doesn't do something about the debt??

The GOP must not raise the Debt-Ceiling because it will allow the Dems to lie that they contributed to increasing the debt. We see nothing but political gamesmanship from these people and the military is teetering on the edge of mission-failure.

I was at a garrison briefing last week and the commanding general said things are tight and we haven't quite reached that point, but we are quickly approaching it.

Who do you think Obama will blame when we do reach that point?

You can bet he won't take the blame himself. He's too busy out there campaigning to do his job.

Oh.....so the GOP is in charge?????

Excuse me, but who is the President???

Let the Republicans save the country, they chose to do nothing for 6 months.

Kool. Let it burn. Right??? Problem is they cannot by law do it alone.

Just cause you have animosity toward your fellow Americans you would rather let everything go to shit??

Why don't you just go to work for al Qaeda or the Russians while you're at it.

 

[mudwhistle]

Yup.....it's clear that liberals only wanted some schemeal who fucks with Republicans.

They don't give a flip if nothing gets done as long as he's sticking it too them.....and us in the process.

Obama reaches out to them over and over. It's time for them to step up.

He reaches out in public and then talks down to them in private.

It is not even beneath him to trash them in public to their faces. He's done it several times. He gives speeches with them sitting in the audience and he insults them.

How do you expect them to want to negotiate with him if he's constantly lying about them???? Yet they go back and try again, and he repeats the process. He reaches out, talks shit to them, demonizes them in public, lies about their programs and they are supposed to suck up to him.

It's a constant cycle.

 

[mudwhistle]

Obama has this strange pattern of insulting people he doesn't like right before they are supposed to negotiate.

Good negotiations never begin with an insult fest.

The Debt-Ceiling Is Fast Approaching Yet Obama Is Doing Nothing The Debt-Ceiling Is Fast Approaching Yet Obama Is Doing Nothing

Partian POPPYCOCK.

 

[Greenbeard]

Oh.....so the GOP is in charge?????

The House passed the budget that now requires an increase in the debt ceiling. If they wanted less spending, the budget process would've been the appropriate time to seek that. As it is, they've already approved the spending level that takes us deeper into debt, now they're toying with the idea of defaulting.

The ball is in their court. But the poster above is correct, someone desperately needs to save the country from these irresponsible wackos.

Oh fuck that the Messiah's idea of reaching out is to label them the "enemy" and tell them to either do it his way or no way at all. When are you fucking libs going to step up and do what you've been saying you were going to do.

In this country, we have 3 equal branches. The Republicans have been the party of no, notoriously, for years now. Let them step up and bring something substantial to the table. Something better than their crush medicare scheme.

The debt ceiling needs to be raised to accomodate their idiotic budget so let them be accountable. Obama wasn't afraid to dig in there and work on the budget, Repubs were though. They're afraid they'll lose their fragile grip on the House.

Boehner and his whacky friends need to grow up and take responsibility too instead of pushing the hard stuff off on Obama.

Obama needs to produce a reasonable budget. His last one went down 97 - 1, in the Dem controlled Senate no less.

Thank you.

Greenbeard, our resident nongovernmental expert acting as the administrations' spokesperson.

Oh, and thank you for once again proving my point. I told everyone they would try to blame increasing the debt on the GOP.

It never fails.

When the other side just wants you to capitulate..and there is nothing they will do to compromise...sometimes the best way to deal with that..is not to deal with it.

My take is he's still trying to work with them..but not as much as before.

But what I think he should do..is craft a budget that is completely different from their's, show it to the American people, draw a line in the sand..and tell them to take it or leave it.

He hasn't done anything close to that in his first term.

Obama doesn't want to submit a real workable budget.

He also fears releasing something that would cause laughter.

No, he plays it safe and just waits for others to produce solutions so he can make fun of them on the campaign circuit.
