Why did all of you assholes vote for it, and why did the President sign it?

Because there was no choice. It was either accept the shit sandwich or get shot in the head. Turns out it was still too late to avert all the damage but it likely woul dhave been FAR FAR worse had Obama not gone along with that plan.

Because it's better to work with keeping the lights on than off? Because people that matter to this country have to live another day instead of being disposable pawns in your blindfolded game of Fucktard Chess?

Why don't you fucks ever think about something other than yourselves for a motherfucking change?

Because they were less, just a tad but still less, fucked up than the Republican side of the aisle.

Not sure that it mattered much. Looks like the country still gets to pay for the "principle" of refusing to compromise.
 
You must have missed the speech back in April, did FauxNews not cover it? Do you think Boehner just made up the comment about the President's plan "being nothing but a tax hike on the American people" when it was in fact nearly 4 to 1 spending cuts vs tax increases?

I guess the NYT made it up.. http://www.nytimes.com/2011/04/14/us/politics/14obama.html

Oh look, FauxNews did cover it.. http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2011/04/13/obama-debt-plan-revives-debate-bush-era-tax-cuts/
So there's no excuse for your ignorance. unless it's just willful.
The bullshit here "Son" seems to be dribbling from your fingertips.

a SPEECH is not a plan

and THAT had zero to do with the NEGOTIATIONS

FUCK OFF

POOR RHETORIC: Obama cites Warren Buffett for debt downgrade advice on the day Warren Buffett’s debt outlook is downgraded.
:cool:
 
DANIEL J. MITCHELL: Obama’s Failed Response to the Downgrade and the Outlook for Fixing America’s Spending Crisis. “President Obama just spoke about the downgrade and his remarks were very disappointing. He uttered some empty platitudes, offered no plan, (amazingly) called for more government spending, and continued his advocacy of class-warfare taxation.”

UPDATE: “Horrifyingly bad.” “He was a half hour late. His head turned from side to side as if he were attending a tennis match. He practically never looked in the camera, as if he were averting our gaze. And those were the strong parts of President Obama’s disastrous speech. It was a bit like a slow-motion car crash. After a while, one stopped listening to the blather and simply watched the stock ticker go down and down. And down some more.”

ANOTHER UPDATE: More reactions. “These were President Obama’s first remarks since the credit downgrade last Friday. While he did not specifically blame the Tea Party as his allies have, he did suggest that they are to blame by invoking ‘gridlock’ as one of the downgrade’s causes. While the president spoke, the markets continued to slide downward.”

Plus, Shorter Obama: “Standard and Poor’s are a bunch of stinky poopie heads, and the US still has a AAA rating with the Slient Majority.”
 
President Barack Obama said Monday that the United States will always be a AAA-rated country, responding to Standard & Poor's decision late Friday to cut the long-term debt rating for the U.S. by one notch to AA+ from AAA.


So let's get on with more spending. :cool:
 
Turns out the President and his Secretary of Treasury are incompetent.

Boner's plan was fucked up, the libs bought it because it only cut discretionary spending in the future, gave the President another 2 trillion to waste on buying the unsophisticated votes of the gullible, put off pain until after the election, and sets the stage for the destruction of the American military.

some day, people will wake up. hopefully there will still be an America

Even if we cut the American Military in half (which would go a LONG way towards solving our deficiet) we'd still have an incredible military. Nobody is going to destroy the American military you can stop screaming bloody murder.

And lets face it of the big three spending issues the military is the easiest one to make the deepest cuts in.
 
Too bad he doesn't know his credibility rating with the silent majority is about to take the big terror ride around and down the inside of the toilet bowl.

The biggest casualty of the months-long budget battle, new survey numbers suggest, is the reputation of the movement that infiltrated Washington last November swearing to reform it. As Congress was preparing to recess last week, several lawmakers closely tied to the tea party seemed to be trying to distance themselves from the brand.

In a CBS News/New York Times poll released on Thursday, 43 percent of those responding said the tea party has too much influence on the Republican Party. Other numbers from the poll of 960 adults, conducted earlier this week, underscored the public's disillusion with the conservative insurgency: 40 percent had an unfavorable view of the movement, up from 29 percent in April. The percentage who identify themselves as tea party supporters -- which hit a high of 31 percent last November -- dropped to 18 percent.

yep, time to cut welfare and all government workers.

since government "income" is at 199x levels, time to take the head count to those levels.

its just that simple
