President Barack Obama provided the opportunity of a lifetime this past weekend to Republicans. He was willing to make significant cuts to the social entitlement programs (Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid) that became sacred over the past few decades.
Why didn't the Republicans jump at the opportunity? Because they did not want to cut tax loopholes and subsidies for the wealthy and their corporate buddies!
Meanwhile in the sideshow, Weeper Boehner and Traitor Cantor are waging their own behind-the-scenes political battle to determine who actually controls the House of Representatives with Michele Bachmann and Ron Paul speaking out to whip up the crazies.
Does anyone have any doubt that Boehner is weeping?
I almost feel sorry for Boehner having to deal with Brutus Cantor.
lol I don't know if Boehner is weeping, but I bet he's drinking, cuz the stupidity of his party and backers (like our ol' friend' Heifer)would drive almost anyone to drink.
Nice pic - and on the wall of my office it goes!
The dialogue of Barney Frank was true, and although simple in its delivery was very precise about why we now find ourselves in a financial mess. The Republicans and every Democrat who voted for the wars and extending the Bush tax cuts have only themselves to blame.
The Fox News anchor was fiction - sort of.
INT. - BUDGET HEARING - DAY
BARNEY FRANK
These guys here voted for the war in Afghanistan -- I didn't. That would have meant an extra 1 trillion dollars not spent.
These guys voted for the war in Iraq -- I didn't . Now we have another 2 trillion dollars not spent.
These guys voted to extend the Bush tax cuts -- I didn't. That's another 2 trillion dollars we could use. These guys (pointing to the Republicans) voted for all that spending and now they want to know how to fix the budget. If we followed my votes we'd have an extra 5 trillion dollars and no budget crisis.

Republicans Congressmen sitting speechless with their jaws dropped open.

Now I understand that Congressman Frank is an avowed homosexual. Do you think America can trust a man like that?
