Tick-tock. Tick-tock. We’re days away from the Aug. 2 default deadline, but Washington continues to turn the routine task of raising the debt ceiling into a gross and embarrassing display of how not to run a government.
Most Americans fall squarely on the side of the president: there must be a compromise. A solution to our immediate crisis must include spending cuts and increased revenue. And Speaker Boehner can't even get his own plan through, so you’d think President Obama might have taken the podium on Monday and laid the smack down, right?
Except, he didn’t, and it’s really sticking in "Morning Joe" host Joe Scarborough’s craw. Scarborough says Obama inexplicably caved on closing tax loopholes, and delivered the Tea Party “everything that they want.”
And things continue to look up for Boehner, now that he's got Sean Hannity and Rush Limbaugh on board.
Should Obama have fought for what he wanted? Or is it more important to get the issue resolved and avert crisis?

“I’m stunned that the President is going to deliver to his opposition total and complete victory. I would not do it if I were sitting in that chair. ... Unless you’re willing to take your opponents to the wall, you’re going to lose these fights more often than not.”

AND HE DON'T CARE. I SUPPORT TEA PARTY ON BALANCE BUDGET.
IF WE WHERE IN DEFAULT, WHY DID WE GIVE MONEY TO GREECE.
He is trying to extort legislation by acting like a child for his own personal gain and not what is best for America.
If no agreement is reached and nothing signed, the tea party gets a win because they don't want the debt ceiling raised. They believe that once again the Aug. 2 date is all BS like the last 7 deadlines that have come and gone were.
I don't think an agreement will be signed so I think they get their win and America will find out that once again Obama is a liar.
Proof he could care less about Americans. He only cares about his own butt.
He's playing politics here, not doing what's right for America.
Let everybody else do the work and because it doesn't fit with his plans to get re-elected, veto them all.
He's total moron, a buffoon who can barely think on his feet.
Takes him 5 minutes to say what everyone else can in 5 seconds. Ah, em , uh, um, etc. and so on etc,
And this bozo added almost 9 trillion to our debt. So HE ALONE created this debt crisis, if it is really a crisis!
That may sound racist to some, but the fact of the matter is Obama wouldn't have been elected without his core supporters, all of whom were either like him (idealogue morons) or black. And in some sense I can understand that. If I was part of a race which had a history of oppression, I would love to see a member of my race become the most powerful man in the world. If I was black right now, however, I would be ashamed of Obama and the horrible example of the capabilities of a member of his race that he is demonstrating. He is truly one of the worst presidents in the history of the US, next to FDR, LBJ, and Carter.
Also, mind if I use your link below? It could be quite useful...
The problem is they refuse to read the truth. They prefer Huffington Post spins.
And Osama Obama is debt creator in chief. He has added almost 9 trillion to our debt since he took office.
Now he wants to raise it so he can blow more taxpayer cash?
What really gets me is democrats think it's smart.
Even the liberal media admits it! Did Clinton cause the banking crisis?
But I know real liberals only quote the "Huffington Post". America's most jaded and twisted liberal media.
If you have any more misinformation you would like me to clear up for you please reply again! I love giving an education to folks who really need one!
The truth is out there, you just have to know where to look.
And I'll bet like most libtards you choose not to READ to get your info. That's the small number of democrats who actually have an education and are literate.
I don't watch FOX news and never have.
And you are the definitive for the words brain dead!
So rather than just laugh and dismiss facts. Try reading if you can!
If you do so possess that ability, I suggest you read the article I put in the above hyperlink. Shows how Slick Willie Clinton the Impeached screwed America!
Did Clinton cause the banking crisis?
Here I made is easy for you. Oh a HYPERLINK is that blue text you see! I hope you can follow the simple instructions!
Show me how you can spend your way out of debt? Even economists and ratings agencies say we have to cut spending.
Because democrats don't know how to listen to what the experts are saying is why we are in financial trouble.
Show me how I am wrong! Show me proof that spending more and increasing this monster debt can help our America in crisis situation.
Even liberal media is saying that Obamhole is doing everything wrong.
Explain that! And even liberal media is turning on Obamhole.
Jon Stewart even made a huge ahole out of him ON HIS BDAY.
I couldn't write this stuff. I don't have the imagination to come up with all these major blunders. In my worst scenario I could not have seen how bad this socialist/communist has screwed America.
But to show you he really doesn't care, before all the dust settled and Wall Street showed their lack of support for Him and the dummocrats, he decided to jet off to My hometown for his birthday bash and do some campaigning.
Now more than ever America knows this clown is a total douche and he'll be lucky if he doesn't get shot soon
And here we go with another anti war rant. I know your type. Let all the lunatic terrorists just run wild. They declared war on US or did you forget that?
We didn't bomb them until after they bombed us! And your democrats voted to start both of those wars!
Stops smoking crack you buy with your welfare money and come back down to planet Earth with the rest of the real Americans.
Whiny puds like you should move to Africa and help the needy. Cause we working people are tired of you taking all our hard earned cash!
You and your demented mind, still believe Iraq was responsible for 9/11, and the rest of your so called facts are just as rediculous,
You demented mind also believes I am somehow , taking your hard earned cash. By the looks of you , you've never worked a hard day in your life, and are still living at home with momma. If I were trying to
get your hard earned cash, I be barking up the wrong tree.
I retired at 50 and spend my days on a boat! So now if you want to feel better you can go BF one of your liberal butt buddies!
And what is a Consercative. I might be one if you can supply a proper definition.
And you forget that your democrud buddies voted for the Iraq war too.
Any other brain teasers I can help you with?
ALOT LOWER. CLINTON NEVER TRUSTED HIM EITHER.
