The debt deal wasn't Obama's plan.. It's a modified version of Sen. McConnell's put forward by the House GOP.

Your blinders are on too tight again.

My wife and I cashed out $108k in capital gains last year. Why wasn't Obama "blamed" for that?

Sometimes you just have to click 'view post'.. Why is anyone's guess. :rolleyes:

The Senate doesn't write spending bills Koalatroll.
The Senate modified the piece of crap Boehner sent to them and kicked it back, as they are supposed to do. The last time I checked the Constitution the House originates all spending bills.
Of course that was before it was deemed "just a piece of paper".

They can write any bill they want, it just needs House approval. They tabled the Boehner bill as soon as it hit the Senate. Try reading more than Soros blogs and seek counseling.
 
Reid announces he'll table Boehner bill
By NBC's Mark Murray and Libby Leist

Echoing White House Senior Adviser David Plouffe's declaration that House Speaker Boehner's bill is D.O.A. in the Senate, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid announced on the Senate would table the GOP legislation.

Today the House of Representatives will vote on Speaker Boehner’s short-term plan to raise the debt ceiling. As soon as the House completes its vote tonight, the Senate will move to take up that bill. It will be defeated. No Democrat will vote for a short-term Band-Aid that would put our economy at risk and put the nation back in this untenable situation a few short months from now.

A Reid spokesman tells First Read how the Boehner legislation is tabled: "As soon as the Senate receives the House Message (Boehner bill), a motion to concur with the House Message is made. The Leader moves to table the motion to concur (majority vote threshold). The Boehner plan is defeated in the Senate."

Indeed, Reid needs only 51 votes to do this, and then he can bring it back up if need be (if/when they compromise).

Reid said his bill, which has about the same number of short term cuts in spending as the Boehner bill does, but takes into account savings from ending the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and raises the debt ceiling over $2 trillion that would take the country through the end of 2012. The Boehner bill raises the debt limit $900 billion and would require another vote on the debt ceiling early next year.

Boehner himself stated that Republicans got 98% of what they wanted with this "compromise".

They own it now and wall Street doesn't seem to happy with what they passed. :cool:

The world is not happy, they intend to keep spending and spending. Just what you progressives want. Don't worry about your capitalist 401K, the government will take care of that for you.

Jay Carney: “The White House doesn’t create jobs”




Alternate headline: “Jay Carney helpfully provides GOP with new campaign slogan.”


Carney listed legislative priorities the president believes will create jobs, including an infrastructure bank, the passage of free trade agreements, and tax cuts. But he would not say what was being done to further those goals while Congress takes a month-long vacation.


“The White House doesn’t create jobs,” Carney said, adding “the government, together — White House, Congress — creates policies that allow for greater job creation.”


Asked whether the White House could do more, Carney said “there is no silver bullet” to creating jobs — but he didn’t answer the question.


I don’t remember Gibbs being quite so eager to share credit with Congress when unemployment was ticking ever so slowly downward, which the White House naturally attributed to jobs “created or saved” by the stimulus.


I do remember Obama telling Matt Lauer shortly after the stimulus passed that if he hadn’t turned the economy around in three years, he’d be a one-term president. How come he didn’t tell us at the time that “the White House doesn’t create jobs”? Ah well. Now that it’s all but certain the economy won’t rebound in time to hand O an easy win next year, consider this a sneak preview of their new two-pronged campaign message.

Prong one: Republicans are, if not terrorists, close enough to terrorists that they can’t be trusted to govern. And prong two: Responsibility for our ruined economy is much more complicated than you think, average voter!
 
The economy is like the guy at the party who fucks every thing up by biting the chip and scoops it back into the dip, a lot of people see it happening and they get turned off, and leave.

I'm sure they didn't get 98% of what they wanted. Maybe 50% tops since the Dems got 0% of what they wanted.
