For days, the White House has infuriated its Democratic allies in Congress by offering House Republicans more and more in exchange for a deal to raise the debt ceiling and prevent default. But it was never enough, and, on Friday evening, it became clear that it may never be enough. Speaker John Boehner again walked away from the grand bargain he had been negotiating with President Obama, leaving the country teetering on the brink of another economic collapse.
At the White House podium a few minutes later, the president radiated a righteous fury he rarely displays in public, finally placing the blame for this wholly unnecessary crisis squarely where it belongs: on Republicans who will do anything to upend his presidency and dismantle every social program they can find. Can they say yes to anything? he asked, noting the paradox of Republicans, who claim that financial responsibility and debt reduction are their biggest priorities, rejecting yet another deal that would have cut that debt by at least $3 trillion.

Actually, the blame squarely belongs on Obama, Pelosi, and Reid, who together have spent $5 trillion more than their budget allowed, in only 2.5 years. You don't spend money you don't have. Period. End of story.
Additionally, they lied to the American people about the cost of Obamacare - hiding costs that have now been exposed by everyone from Glenn Beck to the Congressional Budget Office. So they clearly don't care about fiscal responsibility or the consequences of their nation-collapsing spending.
I'm damn proud of the Tea Party candidates and new wave of Reagan-conservatives that have stormed Washington to stop this Marxist/Socialist, European-like nightmare created by Obama, Pelosi, and Reid. There has to be some adults in the room. And adults say NO. I tell my children no all the time, because children have no idea what is good for them and they constantly want to do things that will harm them. That describes the Dumbocrats - children with no idea of the harm they are doing. Thank God we have some Tea Party adults in the room saying no. I can think of nothing better than the country defaulting come August. We have to stop the spending. $14 trillion in debt is maddening. It's unacceptable. No more spending! No more Marxism/Socialism/Communism. No more shredding the US Constitution. No more unlimited federal power. No more multi-trillion dollar social programs promoting poverty.
Proud to be the party of NO! Proud to be the only adults in the room!
