Please note: I used to be a Republican, then converted to a Democrat in 2008. I voted for Obama in 2008 and have largely defended his actions...
But tonight?
His speech was terrible. He delivered it terribly.
S&P has said that if Boehner's plan is passed, the credit rating of the country will be downgraded. Obama is in a lose-lose situation here and it looks like the Republicans are the only ones who are going to win.
The only thing left for Obama to do right now is let the country go into default and not extend the cap until Republicans increase revenues. Obama MUST stand firm on this. No short term deal. Let the country go into default in order to win this battle.
Unfortunately, we as middle class Americans, are stuck in the middle between the Liberals and the Conservatives and we're both going to have to pay for it.
Thank God your not a Conservative with logic like that. Look since Barry Hussein Soetoro has been in office 2 1/2 years his government spending has quadrupled the debt. In fact had Barry kept his own campaign promises there would be no, I repeat, no debt crisis now.
It's time for all sensible people to admit that they made a mistake electing a ultra-Partisan Uber-Progressive ideologue who had no executive experience to the presidency.
Democrats have run this country into a ditch and they get partisans like yourself to play a game of us against them.
You need to get on the phone call the president and his Socialist allies in Congress that they have spent to much and they must compromise with Republicans and cut spending for the sake of the country. Why would anyone who cares for this country wish it to go in default rather than cut back the historic spending that Democrats have been engaged in?
It just doesn't make sense. When you get your head on straight you should really come back and vote Republican. That's the only way we're going to fix the Reid, Dodd, Frank Pelosi and Barry mess.
