Every time I hear, “all are equally responsible for what has happened in Washington,” it seems to be coming from the left. That was then. Now is now. Why are the same thieves responsible for Fannie and Freddy, and the same who ignore all, op. gunrunner and Solyndra plus still not with Maddof in prison? How would that shake up the party lines?

Obama was close to a Jimmy Carter moment of a diplomatic hostage crisis had he not told the Egyptian military to intervene to protect the Israeli diplomats in Cairo.

Meanwhile, domestically, the Messiah of Hope-N-Change seems to be in a near free-fall (politically) – stimuli, bailouts, Green Energy, Corn-burning ethanol mandates, Kash-4-Klunkers, Payroll tax cuts, Bush Tax Extension – none of these idiot gimmicks are working and even the Booboisie are getting antsy over Terabuck deficits…

Republicans are merely the undeserved beneficiaries just as Obama came riding in on a wave of anti-Dubya sentiment.

Don’t take this personally James, its just too good an example: “I don’t care if Bob Turner is a cross between Typhoid Mary and Benedict Arnold he’s not a democrat.”
By james huggins on 09.16.11 4:46 am- Appears to be the country wide view of modern American politics. Obama has to win the touchdown of getting the debt ceiling raised so that the Democrats win this quarter. The Republicans have to block the debt ceiling to keep the Democrats from gaining yardage. Obama won- Victory for the Democrats. However, the playing field was destroyed; but, who cares Obama gained a touchdown. This time the star kicker missed the extra point and the Republicans got another team member into the game. Maybe that means someone will duct tape the goalpost so that it will hold up another quarter… We really need to think of the country, not the game.

The most frightening part was the statement “the government is in hock to the tune of $115 trillion for the unfunded liabilities of Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security”.

I don’t know the percentages for each fund, but I suppose SS would probably not be fully adjusted for future inflation, while the others would probably require full adjustments for inflation, or a severe cut in services.

Here is a LINK that reinforces Ilana’s article in terms of printing more money and Keynesian economics:

I really do believe that there is a deep, deep level of frustration, disgust, and mistrust among American citizens about what we see occurring in D.C. on all levels and by nearly all politicians.

It is like a slow-burning, underground coal fire that is not seen, but a fire that radiates heat and can be felt while walking barefoot.

Look about today and notice how many people are barefoot…it’ll surprise you.

ps: Did anyone watch Bernie Marcus, co-founder of Home Depot on Cavuto’s show/Fox Business last night? He held nothing back in his comments re BHO and the economic situation.
