Obama has over played his hand. Congress has called his bluff.
So you won't get $100 raise next year. You get a $98 raise. Does it really matter?
It would have been a much better deal, to have no raise at all. You still get that raise, by 2% less than you had already planned for.
Obama is selling Armageddon, for mosquito bite.
Seeing the next approval rating polls could be very interesting to say the least. I think our Pres has over stepped in more than one way...of course I have thought that before and been wrong. At least this time he didn't try and tell the seniors they would not get their SS check in March, I am sure that is coming though.
The GOP in congress did what they always do when it comes time for cuts, throw a temper tantrum then go on vacation.
It's all on the GOP and will cost them direly in 2014.
So what you are saying is: the GOP is on vacation but the rest of the congress stayed behind? I really don't think so, and if my memory serves me right our Pres just took a vacation, or do you not consider a golf trip a vacation, shouldn't he have been in Wash trying to work things out before the deadline? BTW, who is throwing a temper tantrum, I think the GOP is handling this very well. They stood up to him, good for them..
President Obama's hands are tied by Congress; he can only get his left hand out to sign the executive order implementing what the Repubilcan Congress enacted into law. The President doesn't make the laws - that's the responsibility of Congress. And, if you want to blame anyone, you can blame your elected representatives - for which you can blame yourself.
The Star Wars and Star Trek geeks went wild over that one.
Did he mean the Vulcan mind meld (star trek) or the jedi force meld (star wars).
I give my vote to Vulcan mind meld..Spock rules !

They need to do political approval ratings differently.
As voters if they approved of the events in Benghazi, or if they approve of the lack of a sane budget and Obama's cuts in spending.
The question is what is it that the public actually approves of because it could be that they thought Obama fit in very well with their most popular celebrity stars on the Letterman show or they think Michelle's bangs are so cute.
It's become more like a celebrity reality show than anything else and celebrities lately aren't expected to actually be able to sing or act.
