Yeah, I don't know what the fuck happened. It was like a few weeks after the inauguration he lost his balls.
After Obama took office he was in the
best position possible to get any and all legislation he wanted pushed through.
What the Bush Administration took as a mandate from god just 4 years before these fucking idiots (democrats) ignored. They were so worried about pollsters, playing the middle ground and working towards re-election that they screwed the pooch. If the majority didn't want the changes Obama promised they wouldn't have voted him into office.

i dont know if this would ever be possible, but one can hope...

Agreed and quoted for truth.
This shit is just unbelievable. During the Bush Administration the debt ceiling was raised 7 times. The budget compromise put forth by the president offers $3 in spending cuts for every $1 in additional taxes, taxes which wouldn't hit until 2013.
To the GOP I say BE FUCKING REASONABLE. What's good for the goose is good for the gander, don't fucking play chicken with our goddamn economy.
To people who staunchly refuse higher taxes STOP BEING STUPID. How important are the dollars you save by keeping your taxes low when the country defaults on it's loans and suddenly the US dollar isn't worth shit?!?
We gotta face facts, put the partisan politics aside. Look at what's happening in Greece- this isn't a game and there are dyer consequences. You may not agree with how the Obama administration spent the money extending unemployment benefits and bailing out US Auto Makers, but I dont remember seeing anyone out selling war bonds when we invaded Iraq or Afghanistan either. This isn't a one party problem and it's going to take more than a one party solution, both sides gotta give.
