Michele Bachman believes Glenn Beck can solve the debt crisis...

[fraga]

"We need to simply tell people the facts, like Glenn Beck, with that chalkboard, that man can explain anything. I think if we give Glenn Beck the numbers, he can solve this."

He was right about gold.

[LnGrrrR]

He was right about gold.

So he's batting..., what, .00784 now? :lol I don't think I'd necessarily view Beck as our economic savior.

[boutons_deux]

There She Goes Again, that steel-trap, legal mind strutting its stuff.

[jack sommerset]

-Ha

14-15 trillion in debts, I doubt he would do any worse..

[jack sommerset]

Is Beck the leader of the GOP or is Rush?

[baseline bum]

Rush.

I don't know about Beck but, it's pretty fucking obvious Obama and the Democrats aren't going to solve a fucking thing.

[ChumpDumper]

I don't know about Beck but, it's pretty fucking obvious Obama and the Democrats aren't going to solve a fucking thing.Hey yoni, remind us how the Republicans solved the deficit and debt when they were in complete control of the federal government.

The farther away from January 21, 2009 we get, the less this has any meaning. Particularly when the problems are exponentially worse than they were when you took office.

Not many bought the "it's Bush's fault" meme, early on. Now, I think it's down to just a few pricks in the media and on Spurstalk.com.

It's pretty fucking obvious that the Repug have outright obstructed or fucked up everything the Dems have proposed, and will do more so, including proposing recovery-killing, Banksters' Great Depressoin deepening/prolonging budgetary cuts.

Yoni's following the Repug script perfectly: Repugs fuck it all up, and blame it all on the Dems. Much of America is too stupid and/or too disengaged to reject Yoni's lies.

I'm still waiting for the unemployemnt rate to plummet now that the GOP is in control of the house..

Continuity, not change, has been at work the last two years. Something neither side wants to admit. Debating the relative merits of the current and former administration is akin to attempting to determine whether dog shit or cat shit has a more pleasing aroma.

He was right about gold.

... until the price goes back down again.

Even a stopped clock is right two times a day. That doesn't mean I will set my life by it.

Politicotainment is as old as the Republic itself, for better or worse.

You fuckers are still blaming shit on Clinton.

What do Sarah Palin and Cindy Sheehan have to say about it?

They're trying to end Obama's mess as best they can with an uncooperative Senate and Executive. The unemployment rate won't drop until Obama's disastrous, job-killing policies are stopped.

And, that's your excuse? No actual support to the allegation our current problems are caused by President Bush, you're just cheesed because we can point to current problems that were actually caused by Clinton?

Okay, for what are we still blaming Clinton?

Maybe you wrote the above wrong, but you made it sound like problems caused by Bush were allegations, but problems caused by Clinton were actual problems.

Well, I can't recall blaming anything on Clinton for some time but, yeah, all this gnashing of teeth over "inherited problems" form Bush is just a bunch of nonsense. Exactly what did Obama "inherit" that he hasn't completed fucked up?

Eh, I'm not going to get involved in that argument. Bush has some responsibility for problems that are occuring now, and Obama has some responsibility. Obama has some responsibility for new problems, as well.

[ChumpDumper]

It was great when the Republicans fixed everything in 2001-2007.

I believe he also voted for the TARP bailout...in fact, I seem to recall he was lobbying then President Bush for it. Not that that relieves Bush of his responsibility for signing that piece of crap but, the Democrats were partners -- Obama lead among them.

He inherited his own problem...and, then, he made it worse.

I remember a majority of Republicans in both houses voting for TARP too....Obama voted against it...

That's right, he voted for the $700 Billion Wall Street bailout. He only asked for the TARP money to be waiting for him when he took office...

yoni, do you ever know what you are talking about?

Yep, there are a few really dumb pricks here.

[Wild Cobra]

I don't remember if he voted against it or not, but the final vote was after an amendment that said that paid back money could only be used to pay the debt back down. If Obama could have had the money to spend when paid back, then I'll bet a majority of republicans would have voted NO, and Obama would have voted YES.
