...watching our country get stuffed down the crapper by elitist snobs who hate us.
Where does it end?
Fine, no deal then. Although Boehner lacks the gutsmto take thatnstand.
So Obama is not sure why he wants to reject it - he just wants to reject it.
Will Boehner get with the program that the President has no intention of "working with him" on this and stop watering things down? Probably not.
And the media narrative will still be that the Republicans won't work with Obama while he and Reid are trying to bend over backwards to "get something done."
Just walk away...the result is going to be the same no matter what.
The cliff is part of the solution. Defense takes the biggest hit (entitlements are protected) but it’s a start and America’s military won’t go to last place with the cuts. The key is wake America out of its stupor and the cliff is a good start because other than a few sectors the markets will shrug it off. People will start to realize how useless our Keynesian government is. The Senate Dems on the other hand will come crawling begging for a deal because their campaigns depend on Washington bloat. At that point they will agree to some entitlement reform and Obama will be forced to sign it.
When will the Republicans come to an understanding that this President doesn’t want to deal? How stupid (yes, that’s the correct word) can they be? The best thing they can do is throw an offer out there and vote present. Let the Democrats take the heat.
Egads, I’m so sick of this.
A British Paper has already posted that the Mother is an End Of the world type,stock Piling food and Guns
At this point, Boehner should say in a memo to Obama:
FROM: Speaker of the House of Representives
TO: POTUS
SUBJ: Fiscal and Taxing Negotiations
1. What you have on the table is our last and best offer. As of this moment, the House Republicans are ready to affirm this through a vote, and it will pass, and I`m giving you until 3 p.m. today to accept this offer. if 3 p.m. comes and goes without acceptance of this offer... IN TOTALITY from you, I`m releasing the House to spend Christmas holidays with their families. After the tragic events in Connecticut on Friday, members of Congress want to hug their children, too.
2. Yes, you won your re-election... as did we. So, enough back-and-forth, and enough games. I`m going public in five minutes with this offer, and will continue to be public with it. As I stressed earlier, this is our last and best offer.
A real millionaires tax offer, isnt this what chucky the dirtbag wanted
Bump
This movie has played over and over again and the ending is the same.
The deal will include tax increases on the rich in exchange for entitlement cuts which will be slated to occur years if not decades in the future.
Why anyone thinks it will be different this time stymies me.
Then why should the other side compromise?
Boner is bought and paid for.
Obama got a new jolt of arrogance whenn he got a chance to change the narative and play the part of the concerned, weeping president over the Newtown school shootings.
This is similar to the timing of hurricane Sandy that hit the northeast.
He always manages to stumble on to some crisis that gives him renewed energy and that he can twist to his advantage.
If we are going to cut back on spending, we need to bring back US jobs.
Now.
note to Boehner: LET IT CRASH
John Boehnor is the single most pathetic political hack I have ever witnessed with the speaker’s gavel in his hand. Nazi Pelosi was better. She knows how to wield power. Boehner wants power but does not know how to use it.
What if John Boehner had just come out weeks ago and told the press that maybe Obama won the election but the GOP got over 53 million votes and they have a responsibility as the loyal opposition to fight for their political ideals. Then go back to his office and start to work on a budget, put it up for a vote in the House, pass it and go home for Christmas. Let Barry stew in his own juices for awhile.
My guess is that if Boehner had played hardball and disengaged Obama would be breaking his door down right about now to make a deal. But that did not happen and we are all going to have to endure the abject humiliation that comes with being a Republican in 2012.
Boehner has got to go. The Conservatives must unseat him and elect a new Speaker. I have already contacted my US Rep and told him to vote no or abstain when Boehner comes up for re-election. I urge everyone else to do the same.
Obama is not ready to accept any offer,if no agreement is made he knows he can get more money by taxing the middle class.
Obama needs to change his mane to Clifford.
Who is supposed to be President? BO is always waiting for Boehner to come up with the answer.
I’m reminded of 2008 during the September Surprise. McCain suspended his campaign and rushed into the mess. BO said (an exact quote) “Call me if you need me,” and continued to campaign.
let me ask a question
when was the last time you had a pleasant interaction with a liberal?
i refuse to talk to them, just stop talking to them.
what the puppies in the house should do is
pass a bill extending the bush tax rates and increasing the medicare age limit and go home and enjoy christmas and let b.o. figure out what to do from there.
Talking to those #$%^% is just insane.
