All done on a party line vote.

Is that the obstructionism you're talking about?

Can't blame republicans because all of the above has failed miserably.
You are going to love Obamacare, Sanrene. You just don't know it yet.

Obama is genuine and it shows in his leadership style. He is not afraid to take whack for doing what is right. I can't say the same for Romney.
I don't know whether to laugh or to cry...

I don't care if anyone is a democrat, republican, whatever. Obama is not a good leader. Go ahead and support him over the GOP, but I mean come on, this is just delusional.

The best reasons for reelecting President Obama are Mr. Romney, Mr Santorum and Mr. Gingrich. The best reasons for electing Democratic Representatives and Senators are the Republican Reactionaries currently infesting Congress. This country deserves better representation and leadership than the remains of the GOP can provide.

Did you see the CBO's latest on Obamanomics?

Quote:
The President’s budget request specifies spending and revenue policies for the 2013–2022 period and also includes initiatives that would have budgetary effects in fiscal year 2012.3 CBO estimates that enactment of the President’s proposals would have the following consequences for the budget:
  • The deficit in 2012 would equal $1.3 trillion (or 8.1 percent of gross domestic product), $82 billion more than the 2012 deficit projected in CBO’s baseline.

  • In 2013, the deficit would decline to $977 billion (or 6.1 percent of GDP), $365 billion more than the shortfall projected for 2013 in CBO’s baseline.

  • The deficit would decline further relative to GDP in subsequent years, reaching 2.5 percent by 2017, but then would increase again, reaching 3.0 percent of GDP in 2022. The deficits after 2013 would exceed those in CBO’s baseline by between 1.4 percent and 1.9 percent of GDP each year (see Table 1).

  • In all, between 2013 and 2022, deficits would total $6.4 trillion (or 3.2 percent of total GDP projected for that period), $3.5 trillion more than the cumulative deficit in CBO’s baseline.

  • Federal debt held by the public would increase from $10.1 trillion (68 percent of GDP) at the end of 2011 to $15.2 trillion (77 percent of GDP) at the end of 2017 and then to $18.8 trillion (76 percent of GDP) at the end of 2022 (see Table 2). Under the assumptions of CBO’s current-law baseline, debt held by the public would increase more slowly, ending 2022 at $15.1 trillion; as a percentage of GDP, however, such debt would decline to 61 percent by the end of 2022.
I wonder what part of "unsustainable" doesn't he understand?

And just where do you think the money is going to come from to fund their handouts and big governemt strategies? Do you even have a clue? How can you support someone or something that wants to spend us into oblivion and who has no plan for success??

Understand something here....success means a BALANCED BUDGET. Success means a strategy to pay down the debt.....SUCCESS means understanding that government needs to SHRINK in times of low revenue...not GROW.

In short, you and the other left wingtards, support complete and total failure. You support the collapse of the financial and economic infrastructure of what was once one of the greatest countries on Earth. the road to success is not paved with money and you left wing kooks need to realize that REAL solutions come from REAL change...not a campaign slogan.

You clowns make me sick.

That would be sweet.
NEWSFLASH - Obama is owned by the Rich, possibly even more so than rethug's

Funny how you right wingers advocate change when you were the ones who causes the deficit mess in the first place . Nothing like doing a 180 when you are now out of power is it?
