Thank You President Obama!

[kpete]

House Speaker John Boehner has walked away from negotiations with President Obama over a deal to raise the debt limit.

BOEHNER"In the end, we couldn't connect," Boehner wrote. "Not because of different personalities, but because of different visions for our country. The president is emphatic that taxes have to be raised. The president is adamant that we cannot make fundamental changes to our entitlement programs.

(that's what I NEEDED to hear, kpete)

9. For what?

Has he rescinded his lousy offer to cut $650 billion in SS/Medicare?

No? Has the market panicked over the possibility of default?

No? Has he indicated that he will unilaterally raise the debt ceiling under the authority he has through the 14th amendment?

No? Then I'm not sure just WTF I'm supposed to be thanking him for.

12. To think, so may were believing the propaganda

that Obama was giving away the kitchen sink.

America, land of the best propaganda the world has ever seen. The Russians and Chinese are envious of or propaganda machine because it doesn't really look like one.
