Obama Up Ante on Debt Talks, Blames Tea Party

“The White House dished out the spin that suddenly the Tea Party crowd had nixed a deal. In reality, the White House had upped the ante on taxes. A Republican House aide told me that the White House “started to backpedal on entitlement reforms too.” He explained, “They [the White House] had started to go back on some of the Medicare and Medicaid reforms they had previously said they were ok with.” In other words, either the White House never intended to present a viable grand bargain, or, if Obama did, the left got to him.”

….

On Friday he proclaimed: “And over the past few months, the economy has experienced some tough headwinds — from natural disasters, to spikes in gas prices, to state and local budget cuts that have cost tens of thousands of cops and firefighters and teachers their jobs.”

In the Rose Garden last summer he proclaimed: “And that’s why today we’re trying to pass a law that will save hundreds of thousands of additional jobs in the coming year. It will help states avoid laying off police officers, firefighters, nurses and first responders. And it will save the jobs of teachers like the ones who are standing with me today.”

In other words, Obama’s policies have flopped, and the flops now are supposed to justify more of the same.”

    Don’t let the smoke and mirrors fool anyone.The attorney General Eric Holder has been allegedly involvrd of allowing ATF selling guns to the mexican cartels so they can make their way back into America.

    Absolutely. It is worse than Watergate. No one died due to Watergate. We have people killed with the guns they have released to the cartels. Plus, they funded it with stimulus cash.

    However, it is a Dem admin backed by a Dem media, so don’t expect it to go anywhere.

      Wood … you ever see “Charlie Wilson’s War?” You think the GOP has never been involved in covert action? Reagan helped establish the foundation upon which al-Qaeda was built:

      C’mon Wood … it’s not always the Dems that are screwing things up … get real and put your ideology in the back seat once and awhile.

    Tea, I agree completely. I’m not a big fan of either party. I’ve said 100 times I’m not a fan of gov’t.
