Corporate Lobbyist spending cutters want Obama to come up with the cuts for them to pick and choose

..from. They are the ones who are hot to cut spending, they can identify what they want to cut.

They would rather have Obama identify specific cuts so later they can say: "well, it was the Presidents idea!"... No fuckers, you're idea is to cut spending ... so what do we cut? If they want Obama to be first to identify specific cuts he should start with the salaries of the GOP anarchists who have said they are just there to deconstruct government. If they want to deconstruct Government, we can start deconstructing with their fucking salaries!

"Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) took to the floor of the House to proclaim that he was still waiting on the White House to outline specific spending cuts they would be willing to accept."

As usual, the Democrats are nonplussed, confused, disjointed.

I have a feeling we're going to get fucked again.
