First: ABC’s parent company is DISNEY, not GE.
Second: CONGRESS owns the checkbook, not the President.
Third: The Tea Party is to the GOP what Jesse Jackson was to the Dems in 1972: the fringe wing that controls the primaries leading to death in the general election. This is the third Debt Ceiling vote in Obama’s session. He’s admitted to his foolishness in playing political football with it as a freshman Senator. We now have real divided government: Dem/Rep/TeaParty. The Tea Party is making it impossible to govern. They were sent to create focus on JOBS. Instead, they ferment hatred on public workers and on the federal government. Their childish behavior in this artificially created crisis has shown them to the mainstream American people as the irresponsible and simply mean. As for the Obama “wastefulness”, let’s review the Bush Doctrine’s Nation Building Success. I wouldn’t mind having my taxes refunded for the Weapons of Mass Destruction Wild Goose Chase….Where was your righteous indignation then? And when Ronald Reagan raised the debt ceiling 17 times during his administration? Hate deficits? let GE pay some of the costs of government….

1. obama has the ability to realize problems before the arise 2. No one is more predictable then the tea party. So Obama had to have seen the debt ceiling problem coming already two years ago. So if everything is going now as he has anticipating it then what is obama plan? My answer: 1. alienating the independents from the republicans 2. making the republicans to look so extrem till they break in two parties. 3. going in the unthinkable in not reaching an agreement on the debt ceiling and then saving the economy in not paying anymore for olderly people and the veterans and blaming the republicans for that till they accept EVERYTHING. The manipulatation of cantor was obamas masterpeace.

Pence serves Pence – not the people of Ind. His statements of June 2002 and July 2011 are samples of saying whatever serves him best at the time

cutting taxes at the expense of the elderly should be a suicide platform. it amazes me that the republicans put forward this policy. the best thing for the democratic party is to let the republicans have there way. after ss checks have been cut and elderly feel the pinch polls will change.

ABCs parent company is GE…..GE wants more government debt—because it means the government is spending and GE and is selling. Stop the damn debt/spending nonsense….the big guys get richer, and the working class is getting poorer for it. The rich will leave the country once they use all up…

SGT RAD…LOL…LOL…LOL…You start off by ‘wanting to talk about the facts”…and then your first sentence offers up an opinion (that President Obama has ‘ consistently lead from behind’ (?)…LOL…I would say, my friend that you either have not been paying attention or you just more interested in your myopic view of ‘what you think are the facts’ than your ‘concern’ for what are ‘actually the facts. This President has lead consistenly…and has gotten NO COPERATIONfromthe PARTY of NO because they CANNOT CONTROL their wing nut BASE – THE TEA PARTIERS.

These are the Bills that the past Administration RAN up…WARS, Part D and Tax Cuts.
Never has a president had so many attachment to a debt limit passing. Reagan 18 times…Bush 7 times. This isn’t new.
Now back to the story…Yes they’re hypocrites..They stood by for 8 years and once ‘realizing’ a black man was elected President, they started raising their Hate Flags. They didn’t know the Constitution NOR how to govern.
Take our country back from a “black man” AND this has NOTHING to do with Debt and Deficits. If it did, why are they willing to see this country FALL? All about their Hate and Racism.

Let’s be honest.
Obama’s spending has been largely wasteful and squandering.
On the other hand, much of the GOP raising of the debt ceiling was to compensate for waste under Dem leadership, or for war and security costs in the age of Islamic terror, around the world.
Not a fair comparison, in any way, shape, or form.

Let’s start talking about the facts:
President Obama has consistently lead from behind. When he had the House and Senate, the democrats failed to pass a budget. Shame on Pelosi, Reid and Obama !
Now that’s it crunch time, the democrats refuse to accept common sense budget cuts without raising taxes.
Nobody gets it! The federal government is not supposed to be in the business of growing, growing and growing…ultimately leading to taking people’s money. The federal government under Obama has created too many inefficient, wasteful, redundant, power grabbing, fraudulent, obsolete programs that have lead to too many regulations and taxes on businesses and citizens.
The federal government should be concerned with border security, public safety, maintaining the current social security and medicare benefits for those who have paid into it, and the protection and adherence to the US constitution. That’s it ! The states can do the rest. Lose the EPA and the department of education (communists!). Stop giving money away to illegal aliens, the evil planned parenthood, acorn, NPR, etc…
