Of course he will blame the Republicans but who will history remember, the president of course.

Does anyone remember who the House Speaker was during the Great Depression? Of course not... But they do remember who the presidents. We have already been through the great recession and now we will go into a double dip recession and President Barack Hussein Obama, the first black U.S. president will be remembered though.

Going over the cliff isn't going to solve our deficit problem. Do you really think that the government will take the extra tax revenue and sign the check over to pay off our deficit?

That sounds like giving up. Why give up on our system? Why not change the ones we're paying to run it.

It's funny reading this thread who the true "Anarchists" are. Ironically, they're not confined or defined by Occupy. There seems to be some partisan Anarchists as well.

Which is lay down and do everything Obama and the democrats want even if that means making Lord Obama president for life.
