However true that may be, fact is He has only made it all worse.Look, you do realize that Obama's record is the result of trying to fix what took Bush 8 years to break.And when we get downgraded again? Y'all going to blame Obama, like last time?
Rhetorical, of course.
Here is a rhetorical question in response to your rhetorical question. If Obama manages to get reelected with his bad record, who will he blame everything on after being President for 4 years?
A statement totally devoid of truth - no wonder The Obama is your Secular Messiah.We were heading to the worse depression ever and thanks to Obama we are in a recession and recovering.
You mean by borrowing more money in less than half the time?Obama has performed a miracle with the check bood he go from Bush.
That's because there's nothing on the list.I do not know where to began to tell you what Obama has done to get the fucking wreck our of the ditch.
Democrats fail to realize that default is a choice; Democrats would rather default than cut entitlements as entitlements keep them in power.Democrats won't budge until we're in default and then they'll blame Booooosh
Sure lets pretend this is about fiscal responsibility and not about making sure the Pentagon never receives one red cent less than before. We need more bombs and if that means more people go hungry then hey, make 'em a tomahawk missle sandwich
I should be grateful. I know he's throwing the election. But it's like watching a train wreck.
Taxmageddon sparks rising anxiety - The Washington Post
In the meantime, political leaders are focused less on finding solutions than on drawing lines in the sand. In a speech Tuesday, House Speaker John A. Boehner (R-Ohio) plans to address the issue of national debt, which will once again be nearing its legal limit in January, just as the tax hikes and spending cuts are due to hit.
According to advance remarks provided to The Post, Boehner will insist that any increase in the debt limit be accompanied by spending cuts and reforms greater than the debt limit increase the same demand that pushed the Treasury to the brink of default during last summers debt-limit standoff.
This is the only avenue I see right now to force the elected leadership of this country to solve our structural fiscal imbalance, Boehner plans to say at the Peter G. Peterson Foundation fiscal summit. If that means we have to do a series of stop-gap measures, so be it.
Last week, the House approved a plan to protect the Pentagon in January by reconfiguring $110 billion in across-the-board spending cuts known as sequestration so they would fall exclusively on domestic programs, such as food stamps and health care for the poor.
How is that fiscally responsible? The debts are owed. It is not fiscally responsible to refuse to honor the debts.
And since the debt ceiling was raised o so very many times on Bush's watch - why was he not refused.
Where in there did he say we weren't going to pay the debt? He was saying that the DEBT LIMIT shouldn't be raised unless we cut spending.
And what happens if it's not lifted? .... We don't honor our debts. Exactly.
And, not one rw noticed that the pubs have once again broken their word and are, AGAIN, holding us hostage to their demands.
...and worships the Secular Messiah that has retained, if not expanded, almost all of the policies that, He argued, made Bush a failure.says he guy licking the balls of the 'most open and transparent administration in history'...And, not one rw noticed that the pubs have once again broken their word and are, AGAIN, holding us hostage to their demands.
The "taking us down the path of the EU or bust" meme is a canard. First, the EU went to a whole new currency: the Euro. Secondly, the fiscal stability of all the EU member states was never verified. Third, countries like Spain, Greece and Portugal had their debt 'serviced' by brokers in the derivatives market; a risky proposition, just ask Birmingham, Alabama.What I saw was someone being the adult in the room. Speaking of losing their ever loving mind, has Reid passed a budget yet?
Yes he was...and fiscally so. He knows the problem is spending and addressed it properly. The Democrats are Hell-bent on taking us down the path of the EU or bust.

Returning to the campaign trail here Monday, Republican presidential front-runner Mitt Romney sought to blame the U.S. governments credit downgrade squarely on President Obama.
Romney said the downgrade by ratings agency Standard & Poors, which has sparked a sharp drop in global financial markets, punctuated once again the failure of leadership by the president.
Yup-yup! Because Obama was operating in a vacuum, amirite?!
So he wants fiscal responsibility so he's losing his mind? Have we really come to this?
Do you really think it's a good idea to spend more than you take in?
The present GOP is entirely in the thrall of the military-industrial complex. And they care absolutely nothing about the citizens that have been so damaged economically by the debacle created by their de-regulation of the banking industry.
Democrats are pointing out that its a bit surprising to see the House Speaker laying demands down for the next debt deal, when Republicans are trying to reneg on the last one by cancelling the defense cuts mandated by the deficit supercommittees failure.
