Heck no, he would never suggest means-based spending or any spending measure that could threaten his ability to spend freely.

Funny how you so happily contradict yourself.

Now That's funny....I did not know you had the clown in you too...

How can anyone ever say that American Democracy exists when a small band of selfish, idiotic ideologues can hold the whole country hostage to achieve their selfish aims when a huge majority of Americans do not support them? This selfishness comes from both sides of a systemic failure in our country.


What's the next "crisis" your people will conjure up to divide the nation, cloud priorities, and anger the people?

All this tea party crap being "terrorists" and holding "hostages" has been over the top hyperbole. Here's, gulp, Sarah Palin speaking the truth with mega-hilarity:

I said "gulp".  It was kinda funny how Obama hangs out with Bill Ayers, an unrepentant terrorist from the Weather Underground, and his party with balls the size of basketballs calls out tea partiers as terrorists.

Didn't Bin Laden, Chavez, Amadinnerplate, and Gaddafi call Americans terrorists too?

I guess when you get pillage-blocked by a bunch of constitution thumpers, you just say stuff.

Tell that to Mitch McConnell:

... McConnell said he could imagine doing this again.

"I think some of our members may have thought the default issue was a hostage you might take a chance at shooting," he said. "Most of us didn't think that. What we did learn is this — it's a hostage that's worth ransoming.

. . .and concluding this thread, The Washington Times reports today:

U.S. debt shot up $239 billion on Tuesday — the largest one-day bump in history — as the government flexed the new borrowing room it earned in this week's debt-limit increase deal.

The debt subject to the statutory limit shot way past the old cap of $14.294 trillion to hit $14.532 trillion on Tuesday, according to the latest the Treasury Department figures, which are released on the next business day.

That increase puts the government already remarkably close to the new debt limit of $14.694, which means one day's new borrowing ate up 60 percent of the $400 billion in space Congress granted the president this week.

And I have "hung out" with a group that also has a bunch of drug addicts, alcoholics, and other sinners.  The Salvation Army.  Doesn't mean I am one, or have been one. 

He "hung out" at an anti-poverty group called Woods fund.  ( http://www.woodsfund.org/ )
I don't know much about them, but if you go by the RWRE fantasy world propaganda, then anyone who ever had anything to do with Salvation Army, John 3:16, 12 & 12, Neighbor For Neighbor, and others, is immediately suspect, and should be crucified for that relationship!  Ok, I am guilty of association/support of all those, except for 12 & 12, so crucify me!

Wow. Equating the Salvation Army to the Weather Underground. I'll look around to see how many bombings the Salvation Army or John 3:16 carried out. And Palin never said Obama was a terrorist, just that he "pals around" with them. And she's right. Obama did pal around with Ayers, until the right found out and there went little Billy and his terrorist wife under the bus. The loving couple heiron likens to workers at the Salvation Army:



I think I recognize this guy Obama is glad handing as a 12 & 12 worker:

Do you read as much as every third or fourth word??  Geez....
And understand half of that???

You don't like getting your @ss handed to you, do you? That's what happens when your raging PDS gets in the way of rational thought. Look genius, you tried to take out Palin's little poke at Obama (as a result of the WORST gaffe-man in government--Joe "J-O-B-S" Biden and the loony left's meme accusing tea partiers as terrorists) with what was just the dumbest retort.

Here's how I think you came up with that idea. Mumbling to yourself and hand-wringing: "You know, that unemployed grandmother Palin woman makes me so mad I could just hold my breath. Oh, wait. I know. I'll show her. Just because a person works alongside an organization doesn't make them a member nor a beneficiary of its work. Genius. Now, to my keyboard!"

Oh I know where you got mixed up. You thought I was referring to this Weather Underground:

Sorry if I led you to believe Obama was palling around with weather reporters.

Racial Wealth Gap Worst in 25 Years

"The evidence clearly shows, without question, that black people are not better off under Obama."

"The great Republican hero, Ronald Reagan, is the one who sent our nation into the tailspin of deficit spending and greed that puts our country on the brink of its first default in history."
