Quote from Free Thinker:
so when obama made an offer early on in the debt limit battle of $3 in spending cuts in exchange for $1 of revenue increases he was being the sensible one? why do you think the republicans refused to budge?
it is pretty simple. the republicans refused because they didnt want to do anything that could be seen as a plus for obama. in addition they did not want the economy to improve before the election because that helped their chances of winning. now that the economy is improving, and obamas numbers are improving, inspite of their best efforts to stop it they are in a bit of a panic.
I'm hearing that a lot. I honestly have a real hard time thinking that even politicians would want a bad economy to help partisan politics.
I never thought Bush had anything to do with 9/11 either, not that that's a fair comparison. Probably more important to say that Bush actually thought there were WMD's. Horrible on my part to say, but I would almost feel better if we found some.
Anyway, to keep on topic. I guess anything is possible in today's wonderful world of U.S. politics.
