Outcry From the Left Precedes Debt Deal (O might want to start his Ramadan vacation early...)
NY Times ^ | 7/31/11 | MICHAEL D. SHEAR

Posted on 07/31/2011 11:57:07 AM PDT by jimbo123

Liberals began tearing into President Obama and Democrats on Sunday, accusing them of caving to Republican demands even before final details of a debt ceiling agreement have been announced.

Yes, spin. He still does what he wants and pretends that it isn't nearly Left enough. Without MASSIVE spending cuts very soon, our country will become like the 3rd world. But that's what the Left wants, isn't it? We are arrogant and spoiled and we need to suffer more; like the rest of the world. The USA is EVIL, dontcha know!

Yep, the public won’t know what’s in the bill until it passes.

I agree. They’re going to kick our butts and then whine that Obama caved. They’re just giving him cover to fool the “Independent” voters into believing that BHO is “another Ronald Reagan” putting his politics aside and doing what is best for America. I’m not buying this crap. It’s just a bunch of commie drivel.

Well, if they are this unhappy I think I will brighten up my day with a little schadenfreude and take a look at what the KOS commies are crying about. It can actually be kinda fun watching them cry and moan. Maybe they’ll throw Hussein overboard completely and start pushing for a primary challenge against him!

He still does what he wants

No, Obama got almost nothing of what he wants.

NO tax hikes, cuts equal to debt hike, a 2-tier process as opposed to the one he wanted, AND Medicare on the table. On top of that, Obama's poll numbers have been degraded during the process because everyone knows he was leading from behind.

The left is seriously livid and for good reason.

Let’s see here: Lefties whine and threaten to block the plan... and finally get some more concessions from McConnell.

Then desperate Boehner panics, and goes along with new concessions and tells his boys and girls to get their a$$es in line again, and vote for it.

Then it passes, and we are told, “Well, this is the best deal we could get.”

That about right?

It is completely fair to say conservatives hate whatever compromise is passed. It will not be good legislation in conservative terms.
But it is not realistic to say the left is happy with the deal. Remember what they wanted: a clean debt ceiling increase with no accountability, tax increase on evil rich, another stimulus package and no spending cuts. Plus no exposure to a BBA.

The left has been upset for some time over the Won and these last 2 weeks have been icing on the cake as he dropped his "must have" items one by one.

The real icing is when he started talking about cuts to Medicare. Now they are going to be part of the trigger which Obama agrees to? Oh, my. He's going to have a real hard time winning back the moonbat support. Look for increased talk from the WH in favor of gay marriage. It's the only thing he has left.

I didn't say they were immediate.

The fact that the overall cuts are greater than the hike is something Hussein fought tooth and nail and his base knows it.

It’s impossible to say one way or the other if the emerging “deal” will be good for anyone or not, at least until we learn the details.

There’s mention of closing “loopholes”... which could be anything... like the killing of the mortgage intrest credit.

Regardless.. Obama and his loyal media will spin this as his victory, and that he made unprecidented progress toward a balanced budget, averted yet another economic disaster, blah...blah.

Exactly - but IMO, they have to throw in the BBA to seal the deal. The commies will figure out a way to demonize it at the state level - especially if they win the WH in 2012
