Only Obama can enact the sh!t GOP ideas that the public just rejected. Austerity now. Insanity later

[mitty14u2]

Of course, the corporate media will never report this point of view.

Yes, Obama is the only person in America who can give the Republican party what they can not win in elections. Massive budget cuts, more privatization, more drownings to appease Grover Norquist, and again the President negotiating with himself against a GOP that doesn't give a flying fuck about 99% of America and is willing to wreck this country as long as Obama takes the blame.

I can't stop Obama from blowing his second term by enacting more shit GOP policy.

Another GOP hostage demand, and Dems play along, and the GOP gets to keep the hostage and exact further demand, budget cuts that will cripple the economy for which Obama will be blamed for, all cuts on the poor, now tax hikes on the rich and if their are tax hikes let them all be shouldered by those who have the least.

Obama wants a deal! Let's just keep giving the GOP what they can't win an election on. Let's pretend they are sincere and genuinely care about the country whose fate they keep holding hostage, let's pretend this isn't all about the obvious goal, destroying the New Deal and then bringing about the Billionaire's dream economy, no labor rights, no voting rights, no regulations, it sounds just like the worst of the Great Depression, doesn't it? More austerity for the 99%, more corporate profits and golden parachutes for the 1%, and Obama keeps giving away a little more, a little more, how many 11th hour deals do we need? The GOP is getting their agenda passed piecemeal by a President who keeps insisting on a deal where he gives up something and gets nothing in return, and it is hurting the American economy by putting all of the burden of austerity on those who are already hurting the most.

More below the fold. . .

1. You do know that's a year old right?

And you do know how that "hostage demand" turned out right?

3. Will you SHUSSSH ... you're ruining perfectly good manufactured outrage.

[Jakes Progress]

5. We can't all shush.

How else would you hear stuff, what with your head in the sand.

[Jakes Progress]

4. So how is it different now that a year ago?

[sharp_stick]

7. Really?

Are you inviting me to Facebook? I don't do that.

The forum is good reads, not current events or late breaking news. You only read stuff less than a year old?

2. Bipartisanship!

[yurbud]

9. more like Buypartisanship--they are paid to agree on the big issues

trade
war
taxes
bailouts
privatization

But they are free to disagree on gay marriage, abortion, and whether kids have to pray in school--none of which takes a nickel out of the pockets of the wealthy either way.

10. Yeah, all the non-rational stuff.

Freedom has been increased 34.7 percent since Obama took office.

[yurbud]

13. no-way! where do I get mine?

[OnyxCollie]

15. At the Liberty Recycling Center, silly!

Bring in all your old Liberty and exchange it for new Freedom!

[yurbud]

16. can I get fries with that?

[Doctor_J]

6. yep. fourteen months ago the country soundly rejected Paul Ryan

and his budget. And now it's back and has been passed. In 2008 the people overwhelmingly rejected the entire republican party, and yet they have completely controlled the agenda ever since. Funny how that works.

[yurbud]

14. DLC Democrats say that's what we elected them to do

[jsr]

8. Great post.

[area51]

12. And of course,

the GingrichCare that Obama pushed was completely a republican idea. He made sure to take single-payer, along with a public option, off the table as any good republican would do.

17. In America there are only two kinds of ideas, Republican and "unserious, purist, fringe leftist"
