Obama could give a Rodents Buttocks about the economy.

Obama’s issue is power.

The economic issues are just another means for Obama to manipulate us into giving him more power.

Pretty simply stuff, straight out of the communist manual.

But that would assume they had the spine to do so.

It will kill all of the lib demagoging and reveal their lie that we have a revenue problem.

When will the Senate give their counteroffer to the Ryan budget?

Perhaps after passing a Budget, or gaining a single Aye vote on the Boy King’s Budget?

I doubt the Dems will pass a budget in the Senate this year either. Budgets are designed to control spending but that is not what Reid wants. While a signed budget has the advantage of simple majority votes to do reconciliations, if Reid dumps the filibuster, he can get simple majority votes anytime without a budget being needed. I also do not expect that the Dems will vote for Obama’s budget propoasl. They have not voted for it in past years; why now?

Even the liberal press is exposing Obama’s disingenuousness.

Doesn’t matter a bit. Obama knows that even the liberal press will still carry water for them and that the majority of Americans polled say that the Republicans are the ones forcing us over the cliff. He knows that the majority of Americans think that soaking the rich is the answer.

We are going down the road Greece has traveled. I’ve come to accept that fact.

Now we just need to educate the majority of brainwashed Americans. It’s an easy task. /sarcasm

Counteroffer to what exactly, Bark’s offer and premise is ridiculous.

Dude walks in the door and says “I want to kill you”, what do you say back, “Let’s compromise by having you only partly kill me”?

Republicans: “I think I want lasagna for supper.”
Democrats: “I think you should eat sh1t.”
Republicans: “Um, no.”
Democrats: “Look, we can mix it all together! Why won’t you compromise?”

Fine; the GOP should put together a budget that halves the EPA and the DHS budgets to start….alond with that for the White House itself.

Lets add getting rid of the Dept. of Education completely.

Happy Nomad on November 30, 2012 at 9:49 AM

Let’s defund both DOE’s, the Department of Education and the Department of Energy, which has spent lots of money producing not much energy, in fact reducing the amount of energy available from known energy-rich sources.

Since all revenue-raising bills must originate in the House of Representatives (that little Constitution-thingy that Obama likes to ignore now that he’s no longer an assistant professor on the subject), Boehner and the House Republicans need to tell Obama to show them the $5 in spending cuts BEFORE they approve the $2 in taxes, otherwise no deal. And no money for the EPA or DOE either.

The only real plan the Republicans have is to just call a press conference and announce that they are 100% against the Presidents plan but do not want to go over the cliff. Because of that they will attend the vote but not vote (vote present).

Better, have 35 House Republicans absent so that there will be a quorum but the Democrats will have a majority in the chamber. Then let the President’s plan pass by a vote of 200 to 199. This way, the Republicans are on record as being against the plan but it will have passed with only Democratic votes.

“The idea of imposing taxes (or ‘raising revenues’) years before trillions of dollars spent on new programs was so distasteful in 2010 that Harry Reid’s Senate had to gut a House bill and replace it with Obamacare to get that monstrosity passed. The subsequent uncertainty regarding its impact on the business environment has prolonged the 2009 Recession.

And, now the same players (Pelosi, Reid, Obama) intend to do the very same thing with the sequestration/debt cieling/fiscal cliff matter? Can one sane person justify this?”

Why did the GOP go through the theater of “being shocked” when this wasn’t a new proposal?

Go away fool, you have no idea what you are talking about. But, that’s typical behavior for the left.

Why did the GOP go through the theater of “being shocked” when this wasn’t a new proposal? Their job is to counter offer.

I’d love to hear a leftist explain exactly how raising taxes will create a single job or lead to any semblance of economic growth.

Or reduce the deficit one dollar considering they already have new projects in mind for any new revenue they steal.

Boehner and McConnell should be on TV every night demanding that 0bama and his minions offer an explanation.

UltimateBob

Someone should have been doing this for the past 6 years, and Obama should have forcefully been called out for his class warfare rhetoric during the recent campaign, and the last one too for that matter.

Thug: I want my $200,000 or I am going to shoot you in the head.
Victim (Idiot who took the thugs cash): Look, It’ll take me a while to get it, but you’ll have it on Friday.
Thug: In that case, I am going to kill you, your wife and kids and parents.

And now the Boy King invades my reality world with this ‘plan’? Sheesh!

At the very least it will provide good comedy watching the LSM trying to twist this to make the Republicans look like the bad guys.

Deets on November 30, 2012 at 10:23 AM

Nah, this is easy: “If the GOP would’ve only *helped*, simply lifted a finger, Obama’s plan would’ve worked, but the Republicans are so un-American they couldn’t even be bothered to care enough to vote one way or the other, much less do anything to help. The pain you’re feeling is all their fault, of course.”

Believe me, there’s no scenario – none – that can’t and won’t be spun to be the GOP’s fault when this burns. And burn, it will.

What’s the same media saying these days about Obama’s 4:1 ratio in the other direction, which includes no specifics on the cuts?

his water never gets heavy for them….
