Displaying 331 To 360 Of 709 Comments The Debt Ceiling Crisis Thread The Republicans, as you know, pledged to their Grand Poobah Norquist not to raise taxes or close tax loopholes on anybody or anything. Therefore, I’m pretty sure that the President understood that they would NEVER sign off on a deal that had revenues. AND he was NEVER going to sign off on a deal that had NO revenues. (Of course the hair-on-fire progressives couldn’t or didn’t want to figure this out). Sanders has been all over the boob tube crying about gawd knows what. He was on the radio earlier talking about a primary against the President. Of course, he’s not committed enough to belong to the Dem Party, but he can certainly tell the Dem President how he should govern. I guess y’all can tell I’m sick and tired of the hair-on-fire progressives. It’s very draining. I would think they would all be exhausted. » Posted By Sabreen60 On July 22, 2011 @ 4:17 pm I hope this does not offend anyone’s sensibilities, but some folks really do need to chill. http://www.flickr.com/photos/mikeboon/3004619606/ » Posted By Sabreen60 On July 18, 2011 @ 6:48 pm He should have smacked the stupid Cantor upside his head. I understand Cantor sat in the meeting yesterday and didn’t open his mouth. The best thing he’s done so far. » Posted By Sabreen60 On July 15, 2011 @ 2:08 pm “Those who thought that there was no news in this press conference missed a strategic gamesmanship that Obama put on display today. Obama stayed in the middle, turned the heat up on Boehner, and exploited the fracture within the Republican Party. As long as Obama holds his ground, the Republicans paralyzed by their own internal warfare will be left with two choices. They can either compromise which would both anger their base and help reelect this president, or they can hold their ground and watch their political fortunes go down the drain. Obama is playing head games with the GOP now. The best way for this president to overcome the Republicans do nothing agenda is to divide and conquer his ideologically fractured foes.” http://www.politicususa.com/en/obama-boehner-tea-party » Posted By Sabreen60 On July 11, 2011 @ 2:34 pm So was I. Should I be worried? 😥 » Posted By Sabreen60 On July 11, 2011 @ 2:29 pm Marion, I think you have a point. My son who is pretty apolitical to my chagrin has heard enough of this Obama bashing from “pundits” that it’s seeping in. I had to point him to some facts online. » Posted By Sabreen60 On July 10, 2011 @ 4:42 pm This is where I get really cynical. Ed is a former Republican. Cenk is a former Republican. Jane Hamsher does business for profit with Republicans. Greenwald is a libertarian who has worked for the Cato Institute. I don’t trust these “former” Republicans. I know people can change, but their actions and rhetoric give me pause. » Posted By Sabreen60 On July 10, 2011 @ 3:36 pm All The News That’s Fit to Pit I agree he’s done some good. What I can’t get over is how he told Dems to not vote in the 2010 elections. That was absolutely the last thing we needed to hear. » Posted By Sabreen60 On July 8, 2011 @ 2:31 pm It is absolutely absurd how Rachel Maddow and worst, Ed Schultz had almost complete meltdowns on air. Of course, this is not the first time for either of them. I sent Rachel a tweet and asked her doesn’t she get tired of having hissy fits, only to later realize it was all for naught. Every time the President says something or doesn’t say something that Ed wants him to say or doesn’t want him to say, the President is going to be a “one-term president” or as he said tonight “will be unemployed”. This is why Gibbs said what he did about the Professional Left. And IMO, he was dead on. » Posted By Sabreen60 On July 7, 2011 @ 9:47 pm Promise kept by President Obama: » Posted By Sabreen60 On August 24, 2011 @ 8:17 pm Perry is nutty just like the others in his Tea Party. » Posted By Sabreen60 On August 23, 2011 @ 6:40 pm I thought it was the “end times” and the teabaggers were right 🙂 » Posted By Sabreen60 On August 23, 2011 @ 6:39 pm Earthquake Does Less Damage to Washington than Eric Cantor http://www.borowitzreport.com/2011/08/23/earthquake-does-less-damage-to-washington-than-eric-cantor/ » Posted By Sabreen60 On August 23, 2011 @ 4:31 pm Huntsman said he believes in the Ryan plan. Perhaps he thinks giving out vouchers to Medicare recipients is strengthening the program. » Posted By Sabreen60 On August 23, 2011 @ 4:26 pm Ok, ok. I know West Coast folks are “all of that and a bag of chips”. And we on the East Coast are wimps. But the earthquake scared the beejebus out of me. I’ve never felt one before, so excuuusssse me. 🙂 » Posted By Sabreen60 On August 23, 2011 @ 1:17 pm Sometimes we get credit even when we don’t deserve it 🙂 » Posted By Sabreen60 On August 21, 2011 @ 9:46 pm I tweeted your campaign ad – giving you full credit of course! » Posted By Sabreen60 On August 21, 2011 @ 8:26 pm Here’s another perspective of Miller’s (lets kill public education) OPINION.

There’s always some sanity out there and this article is getting a lot of traction on the Twitter. » Posted By Sabreen60 On August 7, 2011 @ 6:37 pm Of course, the teabaggers can’t read and/or comprehend so they’re blaming the Prez on Twitter. However, people keep linking to the actual report from S&P so the baggers have resorted to racist attacks. » Posted By Sabreen60 On August 5, 2011 @ 6:55 pm Give ’em enough time and they’ll destroy this country. » Posted By Sabreen60 On August 5, 2011 @ 6:37 pm Heard Barney Frank say S&P over values private debt and under values public debt. He also said that S&P is a s much to blame for this economic mess as anyone. They gave a AAA rating to toxic mortgages. » Posted By Sabreen60 On August 5, 2011 @ 6:34 pm I told him on Twitter that he sat there like she signed his paycheck – among other things. I think the thing that really irks the chit out of me is that the fight should be with the Repubs. These people on MSNBC who claim to be liberal only serve to depress the liberal vote. They should be taking it to the Repubs 99% of the time they’re on the air. Instead we get what Pres. Obama didn’t do, should have done, wouldn’t do blah, blah, blah. And, they don’t even bother to mention Congress in the equation. » Posted By Sabreen60 On August 3, 2011 @ 7:06 pm Can I just say Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr! Arianna is disgusting and I won’t watch Lawrence again. He didn’t push back on anything she said even when she didn’t answer the question “what SHOULD the President have done”? “Crickets”. I should have changed the channel. » Posted By Sabreen60 On August 3, 2011 @ 5:58 pm The Teapublicans would love to destroy our environment. http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-503544_162-20084533-503544.html » Posted By Sabreen60 On July 27, 2011 @ 7:16 pm I’m probably very late to the dance.

I’ll learn – eventually. » Posted By Sabreen60 On July 15, 2011 @ 10:40 am I brought this over from blackwaterdog. The President is speaking with college Dems, Repubs and Indies about how politics work in the democratic process. http://blackwaterdog.wordpress.com/2011/07/15/if-you-have-to-watch-only-one-video-today/#comments
» Posted By Sabreen60 On July 15, 2011 @ 10:18 am Would you care to elaborate? » Posted By Sabreen60 On July 6, 2011 @ 9:32 pm If you believe that President Obama is a smart man who would like a second term to finish some of what he has started, then you can’t possibly believe he would agree to cutting Medicare and/or Social Security BENEFITS. I believe that if he agrees to cutting benefits, he can kiss a second term good-bye. I’m not ready for a knee-jerk reaction to some vague article. » Posted By Sabreen60 On July 6, 2011 @ 9:22 pmComments Posted By Sabreen60
