I've already told you I'm aware of this tradition. Did he say it or not? What do you think "God Damn America" really means?
It is a call to bring bad a godly country. It's a calling out. Much like when MLK called the US the greatest purveyor of violence in the world today. You said you knew the tradition, so you should know this and not react like you are.
It's also a tired way of deflecting the debate away from the sorry mess you now have as President.
More a way for those who don't want to aknowledge the comparions to complain without admitting this isn't new. The diversion is mostly on your side.
A failure of Democrats on all fronts then. Is that how you would put it?
A failure for eveyone, including democrats. While republicans didn't have
ALL the power, they certainly worked hard to derail, and this gives them part of the failure.
My guys? What guys are these? I'll happily criticize any leader for running up insurmountable debts. What you are doing, again, and repeatedly, is deflecting from the present situation and this president's sad and destructive record.
If that were true, you would have been so for decades, and would still include all the others. I see no evidence of you doing that. And speaking the truth is not a deflection. Our history is what it is.
Yes, I know a budget is different than an economy. Is this a recent revelation you're choosing t share? The fact is there was no budget. One attempt was made by BHO and it was turned down by both Dems and Republicans, 97-0. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe this is the first time such a thing has happened in any democracy.
Again, our discussion was over the economy. Speaking of distractions, when we're discussing the economy and you switch to the budget, taking cmments about teh economy and pretending they are about the budget, what would you call that?
As for the vote, sound like he didn't give either enough of what they wanted. Republicans won't support him period, and are fixated on tax cuts. Democrats are fearful of even talkng about the big three, especially medicare. As Obama is right to consider all that, is he to be criticized or congress?
Not in contect of the issue I speak to, and what I was commenting on. Not even close.
LOL!! I Love ii!! That should be the bumper sticker on every democrat vehicle and every election pooster and evry sign at their conventions. "
It is true for republicans as well. The only way government can provide jobs is to hire people. This is not complicated.
It doesn't really matter anymore what went where. The fact is that the the United States has become hopelessly in debt, the economy is in a shambles, and you have saddled future generations with unpayable debt. It was done on this President's watch and it borders on treason.
Again, where were you when it was happening. Adding to something is nto the same as creating it. This problem has been buidling for a long, long time. And when a republicna was president, republicans said it didn't matter. That was the argument.
The Democrats aren’t the only ones who have reversed their opinions about deficits. Republicans were relatively comfortable with Reagan’s unbalanced budgets. And when President George W. Bush turned a massive surplus into a series of giant deficits, few in the GOP objected. During the administration’s internal debates over proposed tax cuts in 2002,
Vice President Dick Cheney reportedly told Treasury Secretary Paul O’Neill that “Reagan proved deficits don’t matter.”
