Obama saves the day yet again.

I think I am going to put that as my facebook status. Going troll hunting.

 

[MeatHammer]

with all this government spending that apparently is going to drown us in debt......and the economy is limping along at less than 1 percent for the first half of this year.

that alone should tell you how ugly the private sector is right now.

any large scale cuts in government spending WILL cut into GDP.

 

[BoredGirl]

Sorry, my sarcasm meter isn't working today....not enough votes to fund it properly.

 

[Blake Jones]

Not yet .... but after the Tea Party is kicked out, the tax hike will get them closer to paying their fair share.

 

[Uma Sankar]

and the stock market is selling off.

 

[sTuFf]

Obama didn't do shit. Even the liberal pundits are talking shit about him.

 

[Onerom]

It's not. Raise 4, cut 7.

 

[loveuMJ]

Obama makes me long for the days of more qualified and better for the country Presidents, like Jimmy Carter and Richard Nixon.

 

[amelia83]

Boehner got the bill passed he wanted then when the deal got made he made space for 95 of his merabers to be able to vote no helluva job John

 

[DanaV]

Yeah, pretty well done, actually.

 

[Ricky Lee]

'bout time for another racist outcry?

 

[71cooldude]

Of course, because GDP includes government spending

 

[asgodintended]

And he made it so now the senate only neeRAB a simple majority to raise taxes. No 60 votes required
