Hey left wing nuts, I don't want to hear any more crap from you about the GOP being obstructionist. It should now be blatantly obvious to any but the most dimwitted that TOTUS and Harry Reid have made a political calculation that it is better for America to go back into another recession so they can blame Republicans.
I looked closely at what the GOP proposed and it was essentially capitulation to what the Dems said they wanted during the campaign. The answer from TOTUS was no. No negotiation. No alternate proposal. Nothing.....just no......the only thing he wants is $1.6T in tax increases with hundreds of billions in new spending. It is total, abject fiscal insanity!
They simply have decided that it is better politically for America to lose......and the govt media is providing them with their usual cover. Negotiation is futile. They need to vote present and let Obama have his way and own the results. Screw America. Elections have consequences and it is high time that those that voted for this pathetic failure need to really experience what he is all about.

Here's another to frost you even more./ It comes from an article today in the Huffington Post
"WASHINGTON -- President Barack Obama met with Rachel Maddow, Al Sharpton and other "influential progressives" on Tuesday as part of his campaign to sell the public on the need to extend the Bush middle-class tax cuts.White House deputy press secretary Josh Earnest confirmed the meeting took place. It wasn't listed on Obama's schedule. "This afternoon at the White House, the President met with influential progressives to talk about the importance of preventing a tax increase on middle class families, strengthening our economy and adopting a balanced approach to deficit reduction," Earnest said in a statement Tuesday. Earnest wouldn't give details on who was in the meeting or how long it lasted, but HuffPost spotted several attendees on their way in just after 3 p.m., including MSNBC's Maddow, Sharpton and Lawrence O'Donnell. Ed Schultz, also from MSNBC, tweeted a photo just outside of the West Wing. Arianna Huffington, president and editor-in-chief of The Huffington Post Media Group, was also in the meeting."
I guess we need to look on the bright side. Chris Matthews' name isn't mentioned.

Mathews wasn't there because every time he is in the same room as the messiah he dry humps his leg. TOTUS is a pathetic joke as President and it says nothing good about the future of this country that they sent him back for a second time. No wonder Rush calls him Barack Kardashian.
We will be Greece and Spain soon enough.......

They both have their admired attributes and both are poster children for failed democratic socialism......you know, exactly what that idiot Obama wants to do to us. I guess I am ambivalent as I like the wine and women in Spain but the food in Greece. MrHodja, what say you?

Well, I guess it would be a tossup. Probably Spain, although you have a point about the Greek food. My wife and I spent two years in Izmir, Turkey, which has been a part of Greece as much as it has Turkey, and we have fond memories of real lamb, feta cheese sold from the goat skin it was made in and ripe olives out of a wooden barrel.The Turks were a curious people so we got a lot of stares, but once you got to know them they werre OK. The Greeks seemed bit looser and more fun-loving, and when we were in Athens we didn't have the Mezzin (sp?) singing at us all hours of the day. It is common to see Turkish men walking hand in hand - a cultural thing withj no double meaning.
Spain, on the other hand, has a lot to offer. Spent a week in Rota, and the Spaniards have their own sense of culinary taste, and it was all good. The Spaniards...or at least the Governmet, reminds me a little of the Frogs, kind of snooty. They have exceptionally strict rules about foreign contractors doing work that a local Spaniard might be able to do. There are very stringent rules on the insurance a foreign contractor must carry, and the contractor has to prove in advance that a local csn't do the work. Neither my company nor my customer made mention of these rules, and I got quite a shock when I first tried to get onto the Navy base there. Couldn't get a week's pass, so I had to check in every day as a tourist and sign a piece of paper saying I wasn't there to work. Nice thing about the trip was that I got done a day early but couldn't get my return flight changed, so I drove to Gibraltar and spent the day there.
Dual citizenship maybe?

Both my daughters spent their spring break in Greece last year and loved it. Loved the food and the people. So maybe instead of dual citizenship we stay in the US and get to experience their economic disaster without having to learn a new language.

I hear Costa Rica is accepting U.S. citizens bailing out in numbers with open arms, after being vetted by your local sheriff's office and InterPol and a few weeks waiting period. Year round guava, pineapple, mango, sunshine, beaches,,,,, at a fraction of the expected cost.

My daughter and son, took separate trips to Costa Dica, and remarked that things were expensive there. maybe it is just expensive for tourists.
They did say the airport was one step shy of a living Hell, especially if one arrives late amd misses a connecting flight.
Kind of like ASA at Hartsfield.....
