Republicans rejected more than just two plans, repeatedly.
Both sides are guilty, but 3 trillion in cuts, and 1 trillion in revenue increases was a fair deal, and Republicans walked away from it. It would have helped to fix our budget issues for 10 years, but oh no, their way or the highway.
They want to make sure this recession sticks til 2012 so Obama's out.
Vote for a Democratic, spineless politician? Vote for an idiotic Republican nominee?
Independents unite, change our country. Even registered Republicans and Democrats can see that a vote for one party or the other, is a vote for the same party.

No, he wanted spending cuts, AND revenue increases.
He wasn't going to raise taxes on anyone. End subsidies, loopholes, yes, raise taxes, no.
Republicans where the ones that said their way or the highway. I want to see them take the highway, and I've written the President expressing just that.

So when he does not get his tax increase he decides to go into default

Hang in there Stillkit. I truly think the president is way ahead of the rethughlicans trying to unseat him. I believe he has a plan.
Where is his plan? Campaign speeches that the CBO says are "too fuzzy" to even score DON'T COUNT. Shouldn't a leader, the leader of the free world, the POTUS, at least have a well laid out plan? Where the F is it??
He doesn't have to go into default, 14th amendment, and let the courts sort it out.
Besides, I think that if he held his ground, Republicans would blink.
Instead, he not only blinks, he's kept his eyes closed since January of this year.
the tea party faction will not blink. They were elected to stop the spending, not to add to the taxes. Obama was elected on taxing the rich which he says is everyone over 250,000 dollars. As he said elections have consequences. he was elected the consequence is Obama care 2010 elections had consequences Americans said stop the spending
