No bargaining with Barack Obluffer [CALLING HIS OWN BLUFF}

There is something surreal and unnerving about the so-called "debt ceiling" negotiations staggering on in Washington. In the real world, negotiations on an increase in one's debt limit are conducted between the borrower and the lender. Only in Washington is a debt increase negotiated between two groups of borrowers.

Actually, it's more accurate to call them two groups of spenders. On the one side are Obama and the Democrats, who in a negotiation supposedly intended to reduce American indebtedness are (surprise!) proposing massive increasing in spending (an extra $33 billion for Pell Grants, for example). The Democrat position is: You guys always complain that we spend spend spend like there's (what's the phrase again?) no tomorrow, so be grateful that we're now proposing to spend spend spend spend like there's no this evening.

Uh ... anybody remember the “negotiations” with the Republicans on Obamacare? Wasn’t it a “locked door?” Why are we not reminded of that “kind” of negotiation which is the only one the Dems understand. “We” are just employing the tactics THEY taught us.

How goes it FRiend?

Obama will never be exposed while in office. Once he is gone and a Republican is in then he might get half exposed as far as his faked autobiography and how he had so many leftist associates and still does

His name was Obamandias, King of Kings. Look upon his works, ye mighty, and despair.

My God, how did I never think of that one?

The new normal's already here: flat-line jobs market, negative equity, the dead parrot economy. What comes next will be profoundly abnormal.

A depressing BUMP!
