What The President Might Want To Consider Saying Soon...

[WillyT]

I won't write another speech for the President, I did that here, LOL: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=439&topic_id=1527300

But what he SHOULD consider saying, soon... is something to the effect of...

"We have not been able to come to an agreement that takes care of raising the debt ceiling, while making serious spending cuts, and raising revenues. Time is almost up...

So I ask Congress and the American people to insist on raising the debt ceiling now, and putting any future debt ceiling issues well into 2013, after the 2012 election.

And then... let us all, both parties, myself, and the American People, make this next election about the future of revenues, debt reduction, and above all else...JOBS.

1. He should tell them to call their Congress Critters even before he finishes his speech and to keep

calling their offices. Offer their tollfree numbers on the screen while he's speaking. Websites that list the numbers for the members.

2. I think what he might really WANT to say is --

"I've had it with these fucks! We're going to do what's right for the American people and the country and I don't give a shit if they agree or not. Good night and God Bless America." :patriot:

3. Your speech sucks

the life right out of the republican argument. Bravo and just be glad you have a day job. :)

4. But that's not "Grand" or "Historic"

It's not a "Big Fucking Deal".

That won't make Chris Matthews all tingly.
It won't make David Brooks write a gushing column about Obama.
It won't make people refer to him as the last reasonable man in Washington.

Which is ultimately what it's all about otherwise he would have more blatantly called bullshit on these antics and pointed out the ridiculousness of it weeks, if not months ago.

7. His use of the word "grand" is so pretentious,dramatic & self-aggrandizing.

When has a political program ever been labeled grand by it's sponsor?

5. I have a better speech

aheeem: Hey Americans---come to D.C. and pick up these bags of shit before you don't have a pot to piss in. With these clowns, who needs bin Laden. Thank you. Goodnight...and I'm gonna go get a stiff drink.

6. "I will veto any bill that cuts SS or Medicare benefits now or in the future."

"ALL negotiations in this matter will be televised to the American People."

8. K&R.....GOP: 'You break it, you own it’

9. I approve, but Koch gave so much money to both sides of the isle that he is expecting

the old ALEC mantra of money trumps peace.....

10. Add this:

I am invoking the 14th Amendment and abolishing the debt ceiling - OR

I am issuing a signing statement raising the debt ceiling.
