Along with the struggling EU, signs of bad times ahead?

 

I never thought Alcoholics Anonymous was all it was cracked up to be to begin with.

 

Scared straight.

 

We have the right man in the White House to lead us atleast.

 

He's leading us for sure,,but where's he leading us to?

 

He is the head Lemming! Maybe the Judas Cow? um...

 

''We are going to fundamentally change the United States of America...''

 

Really?? Well thanks a lot to you and your Tea Baggers in congress Ace.

President Obama is not the person who decided to take the debt ceiling hostage Ace. That was primarily your Tea Baggers in congress and the weakest leadership I've ever personally witnessed on the part of John Boehner.

But I think you're really bullshitting yourself if you don't think this down grade will touch you. As the US credit rating goes so do state credit ratings and this could cost you depending on what state you live in. There's lots of ways this can really hurt us and our economy.

 

You need to come to ''REALITY STREET'' for a few days and walk away from your liberal talkingpoints horseshit. Entitlements put us in this position along with not cutting $4 trillion out of our debt, as was suggested.

 

President Obama is the one fundamentally changing the US Ace?

Who just made US history by causing the first credit downgrade in US History? That sure was fuck was not President Obama. That was the extreme right wing of the Republican Party. The one John Boehner crawled to on his hands and knees.

The same ones S&P said "brinksmanship" showed S&P they could no longer trust the US government to function by turning a fiscal issue into political hostage taking.

 

Here's the reality Ace plan and simple.

"The political brinksmanship of recent months highlights what we see as America's governance and policymaking becoming less stable, less effective, and less predictable than what we previously believed. The statutory debt ceiling and the threat of default have become political bargaining chips in the debate over fiscal policy. [/quote]

 

Um John Boener did what he could. Against a group of congressmen and women who refused to be bought, cajoled or threatened into going against the principles they were elected to protect and stand for. This is bad? No this is how congress is supposed to work.

President Obama didn't take the debt ceiling hostage? Were you not paying attention? we didn't triple the national debt in the last 2 or three years under his presidency. If he could have curbed his spending habits and those of congress there wouldn't have been a need to raise the debt ceiling in the first place. Your deluded if you think it wasn't Obama masterminding this, He approved of all this spending didn't he?

 

SUGGESTION; get your head out of your ass. You are just running your mouth to cover your ass, along with your liberal party and party leaders. This is Obama's turn to be in history, as the worst president of in U.S. history.

 

Worse than Nixon?

 

Easily...

 

[/QUOTE]

 

Nixon was just dishonest... Obama bankrupted a Nation you tell me?

 

No doubt Obama will keep trying to spend our way out of debt.

 

'nuff said.

 

I'm rather surprised that one man in a Republic has that much authority. I had always been informed the President is simply a figurehead and signs what people tell him to sign.
