You just knew one of the them was going to slip sometime.   >:(

CBS' White House correspondent Norah O'Donnell: "You gave them everything they wanted and we got nothing!"

White House press secretary Jay Carney responds, unfazed: "We've taken this question two or three times already ..."

BO has no one to blame but himself. Both Dowd AND Parker were giving him hell today for forgetting he was the President and neglecting to lead. If he got his ass handed to him by a bunch of freshman its his own fault (and kind of entertaining).

Sorry, guess I needed to make my point more obvious.

I got it Itchiban, I was just pointing out that two of his biggest cheerleaders had dumped all over him for it. The MSM loves the Dems, Fox loves the GOP. Its not news. ;) What is news is that the love for BO is getting scarcer by the day. The right hates him as some sort of Manchurian candidate,  and the left is seeing him as an ineffectual idiot. He is rapidly becoming Carter 2.0. Loved by few and respected by none.

FQ, you obviously missed that ultimate brown-noser (for the dems of course) Paul Krugman writing in the NYT last week about how bho doesn't seem to have a plan, or even a clue how to manage this budget effort. Dowd is a panty-waist compared to Krugman.

Besides, it is supposed to be entertaining, it is theater after all, it was going to go this way all along, right down to the wire.

See that FQ ?
How could this be ? After all, Obama had so much real world experience.
He ran , ahh, He studied , umm, He worked as, ahhh.
Oh yeah, the only thing he ever did was get his name connected to a community group that got asbestos removed from one building of a multi building project, after the residents had already organized and got the attention of the city Govt.

Did you really expect them to cut 4 trillion from the budget?

As long as the word "compromise" was inserted into the deal, I expected what we got,....

Picking up two cigarette butts at the city dump.

Increasing the debt limit in order to pay towards our debt is pretty stupid economic policy and yes, I know it's been going on for decades.

Imagine that, stupid economic policy from a Congress and Executive Branch, all of which have at least a bachelors degree from somewhere!  I suggest that we stop borrowing money altogether!  A balanced budget amendment sent to the states is the only answer that's acceptable at this point but that my friends, is NEVER going to happen.

We're doomed....

Ah, but us super-rich,  those earning more than $75,000 combined household income, have a year in which to move our earnings (or our butts) off shore.

Seriously, for my wife and I, it may affect when when actually "retire".  If the tax on EARNED income goes to high, we'll put our time and effort into "barter", off-the-books income and into our tax free investments.   

One thing "progressives" don't get.....higher tax rates, doesn't mean higher revenues.    Actions have consequences.

Regardless of our feelings on this vote, it was pretty touching to see Gabrielle Giffords on the House floor to support the vote.  She looked remarkably good for someone who took a round through the brain!

"I am concerned about this because we don't know the details. And until we see the details, we're going to be extremely non-committed but on the surface it looks like a Satan sandwich," Rep. Emanuel Cleaver (D-Missouri) said on MSNBC.

Kind of funny, but not really.  We had to pass the stimulus bill and obuma care bill to see what was in it, now this jackwap is concerned because we don't know the details.  Why wasn't he concerned before?

She's a democrat, a little thing like that isn't going to effect her "reasoning skills".
Look at Ted Kennedy.

Up yours FQ.
Truth is I was pleased that the Judge died.
He was the one who put the Rancher in jail for detaining the illegal aliens he caught trespassing on his land.
Laughner may be a whack job, but at least he got that right.
"Taste" is another way of saying mealy mouth BS, so take your's and stuff it.

Tom, taste is another word for class, common sense and decency. You and I butt heads over policy, and call each other A-holes and its no big deal. But here? A woman who is a constitutional officer is shot by some whacko while doing her job? You don't mock that man, no matter how much you might have opposed her, and BTW she was on our side on the 2A. Show some respect for the flag.
