debt ceiling

it really boggles my mind that something like 60% of polled americans are opposed to raiseing the debt ceiling, and also that a plurality of voters view obama as to blame for this debt ceiling crisis.

so i am curious not so much as to your opinion on what is going to happen, but as to your opinion on how the american people, or people across the world will percive it? do you think that americans are really stupid enough to fall for the republicans destroying the economy to make obama look bad?

The republicans compromised. They went from refusing to raise the debt ceiling at all to a short-term raise to it because they're smart enough to know that you don't get us out of debt by borrowing more money, so we need to limit taking on more debt before America becomes FUBAR.


Obama and his henchmen haven't given an inch, and they'll drag the country to ruins before they give in because they're fucking arrogant and think they're absolutely right and everyone else is wrong. And in case if you ahven't paid any attention to the news, the democrats have made it clear to the media and in letters to republicans that they're not compromising at all. It's their way or bye-bye America.

Obama caused this mess with his gross spending in his first two years. Small and mid-sized businesses employ more Americans than large corporations do, yet Obama threw them under the bus while giving massive bailouts to the very fuckers who caused the meltdown in the first place. Now he stands stupid with wondering why no jobs are being created and the economy goes to shit while Wall Street keeps on getting richer when the answer is fucking obvious. In case people are are too stupid to remember, remember 2 years ago when they were bailing out the financial giants, how half the small local banks in this country were forced into closure? And in case you never go outside, millions of small businesses all over America folded. That's what happens when you throw the real backbone of the American economy under the bus to focus on the giants who caused this mess in the first place.
