— Ace The spin, as Christie relates it, is that Obama stayed away from the SuperCommittee because he knew it was doomed to failure. So, that's a reason for taking a month off or something.
Obama actually doesn't claim that. Or I haven't heard that spin. He claims instead that he would not have been helpful in the discussions, because, he claims, the Republicans are so partisan and so want to deny him a "win" they will automatically gainsay his arguments.
But that assumes that he's there to take the side of Democratic congressmen and just pitch new arguments in favor of the Democratic congressional (campaign) agenda to Republicans.
True, if that would be the extent of his involvement, it's useless. Obama is not, as he believes, some kind of amazing persuader. He's invested a lot of ego in the proposition that he can convince people of the rightness of progressivism if he can just jawbone them for a while. It doesn't matter how much this is disproven; believing this is central to his conception of himself.
But why would Obama -- supposedly the President of everyone in America, not just the president of the Democrats in Congress -- assume his only role was to play quarterback for the Democrats? Why would he not assume that as President of the whole country he is also tasked with prodding his own party towards a compromise?
The answer is obvious: Obama and the Democrats have nothing to run on, so they'll be running against the "Do-Nothing Republicans" and on Mediscare. That is their only plausible path to victory, so they're making sure nothing gets done, and they sign no agreements involving Medicare.
Rating agency Fitch has put US credit on a negative outlook, indicating a greater than 50% chance it will be lowered from AAA to AA in the next two years, on news that the US failed once again to address its long-term, and long anticipated, financing crisis.

Gateway Pundit has the story about how the Dems are going to use Newt to attack all the Republicans who voted for Ryan's plan:
“By calling Paul Ryan’s budget ‘radical’ and ‘right-wing social engineering,’ Newt merely echoed criticisms millions of Americans across the political spectrum have voiced at house Republicans’ budget for weeks now,” says Ryan Rudominer, a Democratic consultant and former spokesman for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. “So while Gingrich may now have as good a chance as me of winning the Republican nomination, those of us on the left can at least be thankful that he made Paul Ryan’s ‘radical’ budget to gut Medicare and provide billions in tax breaks for big oil companies the new litmus test in the Republican Party,” adds Rudominer."
Gee, let's nominate Newt to be our candidate. What a perfect way to get a more conservative House, having our nominee in attack ads attacking our Congressmen.

memo to Stupid Party:
The Two Reasons Why Obama is Vulnerable in 2012
1. The economy and his failed economic policies that made everything worse.
2. A lot of people don't feel that Obama is their president. That is, Obama is not the president to all the people, just the people who support him.

Well, I'd say Mitt's demonizing of Perry over the Ponzi scheme thing is more damaging.
Ryan's plan is not going to pass. I've never heard that it had the support it needed to pass. It's DOA. It's a wonderful talking point and we all love Ryan's dedication, but the folks in charge of the GOP are not on board with that plan. So who cares if Gingrich attacked a specific plan?
In contrast, Mitt demonized the very notion of trying to reform Social Security and made Perry (and by extension Ryan and DeMint) out to be granny-killers.
Gingrich can always point to one or two small points of Ryan's plan and claim those were the things that triggered his remarks. Romney can't walk back accusing mainstream Republicans of trying to smother granny.

Not to put too fine a point on this: Obama still has one more play, and will get what he wants. At some point in the next year, well in advance of November, Speaker Boehner and Senator McConnell will have to bargain for money for Defense, and other programs and policies that Republicans and conservatives favor. Either both men will give Obama everything he wants (proving Obama a success), and be blamed for doing nothing anyway; or both men will stand on principles they've never really stood upon before, and be blamed for doing nothing anyway.
The voters who will provide the majority to either candidate, won't start paying attention until the week prior to the election; and won't decide until the morning of the election. All Obama needs is GOP concessions, creative fiction of a rebounding economy, and a press that won't investigate that fiction.

It passed overwhelmingly in the House and only lost 5 Republican votes in the Senate. For a budget resolution, that is an accomplishment. Also, the version of Medicare reform in the House the budget is premium support, an idea which Democrats once supported because they favored means testing. Ryan made that compromise* to see if it would cause the Democrats to act.

If we can do that, we'll get through to independents, and we'll win.

He shouldn't stop his presidential run. What democrats can have it done in the White House but a bunch of accusers can come forward, present no proof and if you are a republican, it's over for you? And even if there is copious amounts of proof, no one cares. What? suddenly in this country we want a saint for president when our behavior often indicates that we don't follow those rules ourselves? Bunch of hypocrites.
Heard a few snippets from "holier than thou" Glenn Beck on this one. Mr. Perfect was taking a couple of shots from his female staffers who thought he was sort of ridiculous by saying he wouldn't have dinner with a female employee. Sheesh, maybe someone should inform Beck that it's 2011 and two adults who love their spouse/significant others can have dinner with no problem whatsoever. And with the blessing of their spouse. Have seen Mrs. Beck on his show in the past, she doesn't sound like the jealous, insecure, jailor that he seemed to be describing today. Bet he's in for a nice argument when he walks though that door tonight. It's one thing to know you have a jealous, clingy wife, it's a whole other thing to tell the entire world on the radio.

Actually, that is a harder sell. I'd say start with de-funding the non-government entities, and then proceed to the 10% cut. Defund PBS, Planned Parenthood, and the National Endowment for the Arts. Adopt some version of Perry's "Zero-based foreign aid" budget from there. Once you've done those things you can say, "Look, we've cut all the dead-weight. Now we have to start slimming down Government itself." Then you do your 10% cut (because a flat cut is more "fair" than targeted cuts, even if I'd prefer targeted cuts).

We have a number of lawmaker plans out there. The problems are either lack of support (pro/con) or uniting around one solution. When the Republicans demand entitlement reform, the Democrats say they must have real tax increases before they consider it. If they ask for discretionary cuts, the Democrats clamor that their pet programs are more important than defense...and on and on it goes.

When Mr. Obama won the election, I was disappointed in 52% of the population--how could they not know (or actually support, if they knew) his anti-american and, dare I say?, racist views.
But, I thought, okay....give the guy a chance....he's been elected after all; as a good citizen it's my duty to support the POTUS.
The great uniter. Hmmph! Instead of saying something along the lines of: "My fellow americans, what a joy it is that we are all equally endowed with freedom. I stand before you today as proof that any one of us can achieve our dream and that the only limits placed upon us are done so by ourselves...."
Aww, crap. Nevermind.

While it's fun to call them (dems) idiots and incompetents, I'm convinced they are anything but that, and are hell-bent on bringing this country down.
This is simply no other logical conclusion.
Yep. The idiots and incompetents are the voters who keep electing them and Republicans who do nothing, nothing, to stop the destruction.

He claims instead that he would not have been helpful in the discussions, because, he claims, the Republicans are so partisan and so want to deny him a "win" they will automatically gainsay his arguments.

ergo, he should take the next 12 months of and work on his short game...

Christie would have had more impact if he spoke inside a blood bank with donors hooked up to pouches and tubes.

Sorry, you want to balance the budget, you have got to do something with entitltements. Everything else is like starting a diet by skipping your mid-afternoon snack 3 hours before you hit the all you can eat buffet.
Yep. Though I still like the idea of eliminating the DoEs and the EPA, for the liberty factor, if nothing else.

You do know Peart moved to LA and became a full-on liberal, right? He disowned "The Trees" as "too simplistic", and removed the Rand shoutout for the 2112 remaster.
Posted by: Ian S. at November 29, 2011 08:36 AM (tqwMN)
Yeah... did you hear the dirt on that Jesus guy? He was hanging out with a hooker, and is homeless... plus he apparently has an Anger issue and got violent with some Bankers...
And we heard at this Party he had... he told his 'cult' to by weapons and prepare for violence... clearly a meglomaniac... and there are reports that he 'hears voices'....
Guys clearly unfit...

It's not "gubbmint doesn't work". Unless he means 7 guys leaning on shovels watching (not working) and 1 guy filling the pot hole (working).
The Tea Party solution to this is either get rid of the 7 or get them doing something productive.
OWS (and their like) think there's nothing wrong with 7 unproductive employees because they're pulling a paycheck and "stimulating" the economy by spending it.

Okay, this one just drives me nuts. Jesus was not homeless. He was an employed carpenter who had a home.
Just because a guy wears sandals and has long hair doesn't make him homeless.

The dems are playing heads we win, tails you lose.
If they don't agree to tax "the wealthy" with a "surcharge tax", they'll let the payroll tax rate go up on the middle class Dec 31.

The corner is getting closer to us every minute that the SCOAMF plots the demise of America as we once knew it.
Getting away from the corner will be a long hard slog of decades, because the libs have been constructing a regulatory structure to prevent recovery form the perils of progressivism.
My concern is that only a very small number of the politicians seem willing to actually do ANYTHING. Small actual decrease in the budget nope! Any decrease in onerous regulation (defunding EPA) nope. Any defunding of any program nope.
I am not really an ardent Perry supporter, but I do think he might be the only one far enough removed from the inside the beltway establishment that he will at least propose substantive change, and perhaps lead the Rs to a path for positive change.

Obama's most corrupt administration evah (including his thumbs up to the Fed's fiat phony money printing press going wild) decided to accuse Iran of money laundering, and set the stage for the IMF to raid Iran's Central Bank (in time to save the Euro?) and ruin/attack anyone who dares do business with Iran. Oddly or not, that includes members of the EU set to vote Dec.1 in solidarity with the US/Canada/Britain. Sarkozy/France is already calling to loot Iran's bank. Meanwhile, Russia and China and India also do significant oil business with Iran. And though the US has bullied India out of inexpensive purchases from Iran, it's unlikely that Obama can bully either China or Russia, especially with winter setting in for a cold year.
