John Savage sounds like me talking to my wife after I disobeyed her orders and made a purchase. ‘First you where mad because I wanted to buy it. Now your mad because it’s already bout? Which one is it? Make up your mind!” Nixon, Reagan, Bush’s don’t matter. I’ll take the current President at his word. The fact that we are here today to debate raising America’s debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the U.S. Government can’t pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government’s reckless fiscal policies… America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership. Americans deserve better. Sen Obama after voting no to raise the debt ceiling.

I love all these elephant tears over the debt. I’m sure you cried up a storm when Ronald Reagan tripled the debt and George W. Bush doubled it. Sure the debt is going up at an alarming rate, the president inherited
on-going debt from fighting two wars on a credit card Bush era tax cuts, and the medicare drug plan that wasn’t paid for. The debt is increasing at a slower rate under President Obama, and the deficit has gone down by 200 billion dollars during the Obama Administration. Don’t like debt? Then don’t run it up when your in control of the government.

on the subject of tax breaks “Did it ever occur to him that helping those people might be easier if Obama wasn’t giving tax credits of NASCAR, Hollywood and many other cronies?” those tax breaks you speak of were EXTENSIONS of tax breaks, not new tax breaks. you can bet repugnants and dems were equally in favor of keeping them.

Oh man…was just about lock the keyboard up and head outside to rake leaf…when…I….saw…..IT: The words ‘NASCAR’ and (PRESIDENT) ‘Obama’ IN THE SAME SENTENCE. Seriously. My Liberal Latte like came out my nose. Followed by the Copenhagen. (thanks for that, btw) Not even back HOME in Duck, NC could THAT combo come up. Only in The Mountain Democrat. So I’m picturing Barry an old school ’3′ kinda dude maybe with a Monte Carlo SS, boomin flowmasters and some roady Natural Light. And on Memorial Day…a ’3′ manscaped into his back hair and sunblocked to retain that white-on-red contrast that compliments the interior of Michelle’s bangin Nomad. Not to be outdone, she’s rockin a tramp stamp in the shape of His last car; complete with images of Dale, Dale Jr, Natalie Wood, Robert E Lee and The Baby Jesus changing out the slicks and hittin the bricks! There may or may not have been a motorhomevantrailerhauler. I was drinking. Sorry.
