Budget talks: This is getting nasty

Obama actions and decisions for past month were to weighted towards his 2012 reelection. It will prove to be his downfall.

 

What he says and what he does are different. He talks a good game. He folds. He bends over backwards to get things done even if they aren't close to being the terms he was elected to get them done on -- and for all of Carlton's bluster about the Tea Party mandate, let's not forget that Obama had a bigger "mandate" that he could have and should have pushed. The generous narrative has been that he wants a Lincoln-like presidency; how many times have we heard the inspiration of "Team of Rivals"? Personally I wish he'd read The Art of War or something a bit more aggressive.

 

Federal Reserve policy-makers began meeting Tuesday morning, and the Fed's statement is due at 2:15 p.m EDT [1815 GMT]

 

What would Nixon think of organic strawberry ice cream?

 

The "taxed enough already" backronym was made up after the fact to fit the revolutionary mythology the astroturfers made up to encompass the movement to make the White House White Again.

Of course if they knew anything about history (which of course they don't, mostly being ignorant idiots) they would know the original Tea Party, as much as it was about taxes, was an attempt to attack a massive monopolistic corporation (you know, the kind the teabaggers go insane insisting we must protect at all costs) for ruthlessly price-gouging captive American consumers.

Mainly they want the mooslim neegro out of the White House. By any means necessary.

And they don't want to pay no taxes for nothing, at all, ever.

That's it. That's Teabagger America.

 

Nixon seemed more like a plain vanilla kind of President.

 

I keep saying Somalia is where it's at.

 

So, Starman, you seem to think that the Teabaggers' primary issue is that we now have an (Other Than) White House. Are we to assume, then, that you think the Teabaggers would be in support of Obama's policies if he weren't burdened with the melanin-onical impediment?

 

They didn't seem very concerned over the policies of his lily-white predecessor, which cranked the budget deficit over the moon (after inheriting a budget surplus).

The teabagger movement sprung into organized existence on Jan. 24, 2009. Go look it up.

 

Nah, why bother? You seem to have all the answers.

 

And it sprang from (and wholly swallowed the membership of) the birther movement, which is undeniably racist.

 

OK, Ragu, what say you? Stocks start falling after the Fed does NOT say it will do QE3.
