I hope people realize we need to cut 1.6 trillion dollars from the yearly budget just to balance it. Cut, cap and balance was a joke. We still would have been downgraded if we implemented it.
I'm confused. The Tea Party has been around for 13 years? Or the Tea Party only came about because they're all a bunch of racists and hate having a black man as president?
The Republicans always try to pull the typical frat boy "pass-the-buck" blame game. They throw rocks and then try to hide their hands but we ALL know who is responsible....the Repubs and their foot soldiers the Tea Party own this fiasco.
Unless his speech starts with "I'm resigning today because", it will just be more campaign rhetoric, passing the blame, and a renewed commitment to create jobs that will fail.

These are the arguments you make when reality is unhelpful. Obama campaigned on a promise to fix the economy. He made his case at nearly every campaign stop. But he did so most emphatically during a high-profile speech in Ohio shortly before the election. In that speech, he declared that remaking the economy "is why I'm running for president." Exit polls showed that a majority of Americans chose him for that reason, too.
He had two years to run the country with a Democratic Congress. Almost immediately, he signed an $800 billion stimulus package to jump-start growth and lower unemployment. His economic team famously predicted that if it passed, unemployment would remain under 8 percent. They were wrong.
