Still, as Obama and Congress approach crucial decisions on spending and the national debt the president said he thinks a bipartisan accord is possible.

Mr. Radical himself speaks! Someone needs to tell Barry that HE is the definition of “radical”.

Words just come out of his mouth at random. Not random at all. He's painting Ryan and the GOP radicals. Soon we'll be hearing it's "too risky," "too extreme" and other old talking points.
Painting the GOP as "radical" makes Obama appear the middle-ground the level-headed leader in the midst of chaos. It's all about creating and polishing an aura for 2012.
He knows the playbook.

I do so enjoy these money raising pleas. Too bad you kicked off so many patriots back in the day that criticizing the big spending Bush was a cardinal sin on the so called conservative free republic.
Nope, I will happily continue to freeload information from this site. If the lights go dark, well, so be it...

Says the moron who launched his political career in Bill Ayer’s living room.
If you want an example of radical, just envision Obama with absolute power and no checks and balances.

Change is good, Hussein. Hadn’t you heard?
