Obama aide: Debt limit fight could be "catastrophic" (BS!)

The Energy Department has failed, with gasoline rising from $.40/gal at its inception to over $3/gal today. The Education Department has failed, with scores going down and dropout rates going up throughout its history. The EPA has been a burden to our economy and has passed bone-headed regulations, such as mandating the MBTE additive to gasoline which poisoned our ground water.

Looks to me like they've been resounding successes, for the sponsors of those who wanted them in the first place.

This year the State of the Union Address falls on Groundhog Day? (February 2nd) Think of the irony...

One event involves people looking to a minimally intelligent creature, with a demonstrated propensity for being wrong when it prognosticates about the future. Some of his worshippers actually make life plans based on what they learn from this creature.

The other event involves a groundhog.

Interesting Dick Morris speech about the GOP strategy in the coming year. If you want to get to the meat of it, skip ahead about 20 mins.

Thanks for posting this!

I am totally pumped after listening to this strategy and pray the Republicans can hold to it. Obama is toast and so is the entire Democrat party!

Just awesome...

This morning, Fox news Martha MacCallum was interviewing Doug Schoen form the Impeached President Clinton administration and he said we had to “raise the debt limit to get spending under control”. She did not challenge him on this.

Can someone explain the logic in this?

Interesting Dick Morris speech about the GOP strategy in the coming year.

I wonder if he has this knowledge because he has actually talked to Republican leadership in Congress and has been told this is what they are going to do -or- if these are his predictions about what the Republicans will do. I hope the former. Dick Morris' predictions are always interesting and always wrong.

According to the speech referenced above, he is consulting for the GOP leadership.

Gallup poll shows Americans want spending cuts, not stimulus spending

Catastrophic for leeches

If they raise the limit there should be huge cuts made in the budget, otherwise we are just continuing down the same path on a beer budget with champagne taste and a big credit card.

Very Simple...

Send the Debt Ceiling increase attached to a COMPLETE REPEAL of ObamaScare to the Senate...

And tell Pres Obo this is the ONLY bill that will come from the House...

The guy who ran the Chicago Schools is now the Secretary of Education. Where were the Senate Republicans when this guy was nominated?

[Jess79]

I guess that’s what I get for not listening to the whole speech. That’s good news. I hope Republicans stick to their guns.

I like the way you think.
