    If you have no respect for something, how can you have even less respect for something else?

    Your first sentence is patently false. Most of his April 13 budget proposal was right from the commission's proposal, but not completely the same: http://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2011/04/13/remarks-president-fiscal-policy. Of course, it's a little left of the commssion, but very close.

    Then on July 21, the Gang of Six came out with its proposal, which was almost the same as Bowles-Simpson. The president has endorsed the plan.

    So to say he has ignored it is a false premise. Lately, a lot of what you've been saying has been falling apart at the premise.

    Good, let the candy-ass libtards come up with their own plan.

    Always good, in the mother of all blameapaloozas which will explode across the nation if actual default occurs, to be the last one to storm away from the table.

    It takes a lot to piss President Obama off.

    He was just on television. He's pissed off.

    Obama said he's summoned all Congressional leadership back and told them they have to have something passed before the markets open Monday.

    Carlton, on behalf of my mentally handicapped twin aunts and the hundreds of special education kids my wife has taught over the years, come up with another juvenile putdown that isn't a play off "retard."

    It's clear what you don't respect are views that aren't in lockstep with yours. It's that kind of thinking that prevents anything from getting done. Your above rant was hardly the stuff of an adult.

    No, Tea Party morons prevent anything from getting done, much like recalcitrant four-year-olds prevent meals from being eaten by banging their forks loudly on the table until they succeed in driving everyone crazy.

    This is not a failure of everyone ELSE to work with the Tea Party morons. This is the failure of Tea Party morons to stop being morons.

    I'm sad for both sides, actually. This whole thing is a disgrace.
