Tigger is simply mad that it’s party is getting the blame that is properly due for doing nothing but “kicking the can down the road.” Hey it was the republicans who passed it off for 2 months. It was NOT President Obama who proposed the sequester idea, it was a member of his staff (playing the republican’s own blame game here, he didn’t personally say/do it so it’s not his fault, at least when it’s republicans). But a member of President Obama’s staff suggested the sequester but it was the republicans who latched onto the idea and enthusiactically pushed it. Giving us what we have now, another manufactured crisis that they can try to exploit with their tried and true marketing strategy, Tell a LIE often enough and the weak minded will begin to believe it’s true.
We have the first ever, in the history of the United States, successful filibuster of a cabinet nominee. We have automatic shutdown of the government coming and the GOP goes on vacation. We are probably going to have our credit rating lowered so we have to pay more interest to borrow money, adding to the deficit. We have 70,000 crumbling bridges that we will need to be fixed for the middle class to live under after they lose all of their jobs.
@ King of Me – Don’t forget milord of self…Tiggers’ “tops are made out of rubber, their bottoms are made out of springs”. @ TrustedMechanic – you diagnose these things better than my local garage diagnoses my car repairs. Always good to read you.

The national debt goes up $4 billion a day. Meanwhile, in more important news, Republicans in the House of Representatives read the Constitution aloud on the House floor.
I say, taxation with no representation. I recognize we have persons considered “representatives”, but I submit they do not represent any of us.
So now it is not Obama but a member of his staff? Let me Guess, W? I mean might as well stick to a classic. But tell me who has done the job and passed a budget? Who got up and cried that his homework was not done and he needed another month. It is not like we expect Obama to have a budget that is required by law, 3 of the last 4 years he has turned it in late. Maybe that is why we can not find his college transcripts, Obama still has not turned in is final draft …. and has two overdue library books…. but he lent them to a republican so it is not his fault really.
“But a member of President Obama’s staff suggested the sequester but it was the republicans who latched onto the idea and enthusiactically pushed it.” . There is no pleasing you. You bitch when Republicans won’t go along with the president’s proposals, and bitch when they do. . But it must be nice to spin around so easily to protect your Messiah. “Oh it wasn’t His ideas. It was someone else.” . When is obama ever going to lead? He’s got the “blame” part down pat and all you little ‘bots fall right in line, but when are we going to see Him actually make some sort of policy? . It’s obvious that you’ve been told the lie often enough. hahahahaha
PS, what was the name of the staffer who proposed this? We need to give him credit for being the fall guy.
As far as I can see, neither side seems interested in reasonable debate or fair compromise. They both just blame the other and wine like a bunch of little kids.
Good comparison, children play pretend but they know when it is time to quit and go eat supper. . The republican extremists will not quit playing pretend, and yes, it gets tiring for the grownups.
Joe Heller has been the staff editorial cartoonist for the Green Bay Press-Gazette since 1985. His cartoons appear in more than 350 publications, making him the most self-syndicated cartoonist in the nation.

Congress’ll have some powerfully descriptive adjectives affixed if that particular astroid hits. Interesting times, as the Chinese say.

This is recognition on your part that the epithet “Party of No” applies to the GOP and that you agree it fits.
