This is like negotiating where you want to be in the car and whether you want to wear your seat-belt before you hit a brick wall at 80 mph.

Anyway, I'm still not sure where the GOP spending cuts are going to come from?

Oh, isn't that grand. It'll be just wonderful to have a president who claimed he could recede tides and heal a planet claim victory over non-negotiations.

By the way, the tides aren't receding and the planet is far from healing.

It's in near chaos (from order of course).

Obamas quote the other day was give me my tax breaks and we can have the spending cuts discussion in 6 months when im back from vacation. This douche thinks the house is going to agree to keeping the Bush tax cuts for everyone except the 2% and trust that he will come to the table to honestly negoriate spending cuts next year

I hope Boehner and McConnell drive this biotch right off the cliff

You can wave it fiercely as you hit every branch on the way down the ugly tree to your ultimate death and your body of mush formerly known as a skeleton turns into a pile of bacterial mush.

Two cheers for you and your "mandate."

All I have to say is revolutions require guns and complicit individual and when this titanic crashes into an iceberg democrats and liberal democrats in general will have neither the guns or the complicit.

I'm guessing the spending cuts will be a midnight hour kind of thing buried in the details. No one on either side wants their constituents to know who gave them the shaft. The GOP has their hands full with their side of the bargain.
