The wealthy people in this country use money to influence tax policy -- they are slowly bleeding the American economy, moving wealth off shore by bits and pieces.
No one could foresee the extreme opposition caused by the color of the President's skin.
The old prejudices and attitudes rising up in the form of the Tea Party.
He ran on a platform of Health Care reform, but thanks to the clusterfuck of misinformation and opposition from BOTH parties, we ended up with a bill that will need to be tweaked and modified. Then in 2010 we got a house screaming "repeal, repeal, repeal…. YOU LIE!"
What happened to Reagan/Tip O'Neill or Clinton/Gingrich. Both oppositional and heated at times BUT THEY GOT THINGS DONE.
The Tea Party and their undercurrent of old school racism refuses to work with a black man.
You know what the KKK and Southern Governors used to call Johnson and MLK -- Communists Marxists trying to shove their "equality" on us…
Communist, Marxist… they've always been the code words for something else.
Hope and Change will only work when people respect the outcome of an election --
In fairness, the Tea Party is loud, stupid, but politically active MINORITY.
In fairness, the GOP is too chickenshit to offend their base.

My god Boehner is such a tool. I cannot wait til he steps down. He will do ANYTHING to take a political jab at Obama regardless of how empty it is and how it could negatively effect the country as a whole. Raising the debt ceiling has always been in practice but of course he plays on the ignorance of the average American citizen by implying it is some new practice because of the nation's debt.
**** him. I hope he gets herpes.

Boehner has to go but for other reasons, in this case he is right, after all he is just agreeing with what Obama had to say about the debt ceiling. So disgusting seeing liberals ***** about someone bitchin about what they bitched about 6 short years ago.
From Sen. Obama’s Floor Speech, March 20, 2006:
The fact that we are here today to debate raising America’s debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. 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. … Increasing America’s debt weakens us domestically and internationally. 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 problem and a failure of leadership. Americans deserve better.
At the time, Senator Obama was urging Congress not to tolerate an increase that would bring the debt ceiling to $9 trillion. Under President Obama, the debt ceiling has been raised to $14.3 trillion. Even without counting most unfunded liabilities, the national debt is now calculated to be nearing $14.1 trillion. It increases about $4.22 billion per day (each citizen’s share stands at roughly $45K). Thus, Democrats will soon demand that the debt ceiling be raised, lest the sky fall. When they do, they will be asking for a significant boost in a ceiling that is already 60 percent higher than the one Barack Obama said was “a sign of leadership failure” five years ago.

Dude, you make less and less sense every time I read your posts. Obama is getting a clean debt Celling raise. What are you winning about? You want Republicans to put up another fight? If they did I'm sure you'd wine about that, too. Bottom line is Republicans can't do anything without you attaching cynicism to it.

And now Obama has added 5 all by himself, hypocrite. But then again we told you he didn't know what he was talking about then as he doesn't now. The good thing would be if the liberals would realize what he has done to this country, all by his lonesome.

I had hope they would changed but have been sadly disappointed. They have had control for 7 years but to listen to them they have been the minority. Sad creatures.

Why doesn't the radical left tell us about the great things the Obama administration has created? Barry Hussein had two years with total support from the media and the entire democrat majority in the government and what did he create? The laughable "cash for clunkers" program? Hussein still has a majority in the senate and his appointed A.G. is a true believer so why are lefties acting as if republicans are running the show? Why is the low information left convinced that they are losers and they will lose the next election? They lost hope and they don't have much change left?

90 per cent of Obama's debt is averting another Pub Great Depression and helping the victims, morons...
What happened to hope and change...obstruct, lie, and fear monger duh...
"( Noam Chomsky) told Radio VR during an interview posted online last week that he agreed with the conservative political analyst Norman Ornsteins' characterization of the Tea Party.
“He described them as a radical insurgency opposed to rationality, to political compromise, to participation in a parliamentary system — in fact, with no positive goals themselves."

what a silly thing to say, people have more important things to, like get to the soccer field, go to the gym, watch TV, play video games you know the routine, and when they do get any "news" it is always liberal bullshit, and is taken as gospel. when the night time national news is on and the ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, etc., propagandist is reading the latest propaganda, the low information crowd cheer because they heard something that made them feeeeeel good.
yupp !!
THAT will be the worst most horrible day in their easy life, one which they wished would NEVER happen.
I think this is a valid point. Obviously this is a case of hypocrisy, but tell me, what politician is above this kind of behavior?
The difference with Boehner is that this behavior is CONSTANT. He will do anything to undermine Obama for political gain.
