   How about we send all of these bums up the river?

   Republicans are giving Rush Limbaugh his wish; never mind what happens to the Country, just as long as Obama fails. Sad!

   Owebama doesn’t seem to need much help in that department. . . But then the Republicans admittedly aren’t doing much better. Too much politics, too little work. . .

   Better? They are working as hard as possible to sink the country so they can pin it on Obama. It’s been the GOP playbook from the beginning.

   Hmm. So ignoring the whole debt ceiling thing for two years while the Democrats had the Presidency and both houses of Congress was, well, just oversight on their part? Nope—hand it off to the Republican House they knew was coming, then do everything in their power to stick them with the blame. Typical leftist playbook. . .

   As someone said here a while ago the Dems are as much Nazis (National Socialist Party) as the Republicans are Sadaam’s Republican Guard.
   Perceptor3, the debt limit was raise pro forma a couple dozen times since Reagan, without this game of Russian Roulette. If Obama had rushed to raise the limit before the 2010 elections, the right would have accused him of treason anyway. Of course the right seems good for little else than accusing everyone else of treason.

   The “debt limit” is poorly named. It has always been raised as a pro forma thing because it really has NOTHING to do with how much debt we owe. It only says that we intend to make sure we pay the money that Congress has already spent, NOT that we are going to spend more. That is why S&P decided to downgrade the US credit standing – because the Republicans threatened that we would no longer pay our existing debts, and I would think it should be unconscionable to any reasonable person that our country would renege on its debts. Who should we not pay – our troops, our contractors, the countries that have loaned us money? Not paying Congress I can see, but the other people not so much.

    The part this toon leaves out is the Demos who actually pushed the guy into the lake…

    Oliphant is disgusting today what he is saying the United States cannot rely on half the country. How blatant can you be. What is really sad is just how many people are jumping on that band wagon.

    But Obama told us the seas will stop rising.

    The President has been waiting, futiliely, for Rs to help fix the country, instead of obstructing anyone who tries. Note that this argument would have no validity if the Rs would even offer an idea on how to help. None have been forthcoming.
