Fact checking Obama's news conference.

[PeshakJang]

The Joe Biden led negotiations had reached a point of 83% spending cuts, 17% revenue increases, with no tax rate increases, when Republicans walked out.

Nevermind, I found your lie. Ezra Klein, the defunct, discredited hyper-partisan idiot, is not necessarily a good source.

If you had a shred of intellectual honesty, you'd point out that the Democrats have only agreed to about $1,000 billion in spending cuts, but refuse to back down on $400 billion in tax revenue increases. That's more like 70-30 if you have trouble with math.

So in other words, you're a liar.

Democrats agreed to trillions in spending cuts over the next decade.

Another lie. Don't you ever get tired?

The real issue is that Republicans have no business threatening the credit of the US as they are doing.

So the Democrats, led by that definition of an incompetent fool named Biden, are given conditions for what will assuredly not pass the House, but they refuse to back down anyway... and the Republicans are to blame for being obstructionists.

Hey... if there's anything we learned from you during the last 4 years... if the minority party doesn't go along with whatever the majority proposes, they're obstructionists.

Should Obama threaten to nuke Texas if the Republicans don't give in to his demands? To audit all the Republicans' tax returns, to sic the NSA on them, to put them in jail?

If he started auditing tax returns, he wouldn't have much of an administration left, and you know it.

That sort of abuse of power is like what the Democrats are doing in threatening to not pay our bills. It's an irresponsible outrage not being called what it is in the media.

Agreed.

Most Democrats I'm hearing say Obama should not link any deficit reduction to the debt ceiling renewal and let Republicans either pay our bills, or choose to harm the country.

So in the very same post, you admit that the Democrats should use potential default to force their spending through congress, and blame Republicans if they refuse to bend over. The very same shit you literally *just* said is an outrage when Republicans are supposedly doing it.

God, you're such a laughable hack.

I wish! But I am just a poor guy with too much time on his hands.

Get a job you bum.

 

[D-Man]

Well first Biden couldn't lead a group of tourists to the restrooms if his life depended on it. Second I would not believe anything Obama says until the boarder fence is really completed the trench is dug and he fills it with alligators.

I wish I could, but the Obama economy has killed all the jobs.

Best comment ever!

Best comment ever!

You realize the Republicans are still the minority party in government, controlling only 1 of the 3 elected bodies, right?

So glad to see you guys finally got on board. Best comment ever indeed!

It's sort of endearing watching you try so hard to mold your view of reality to fit your ideology.

Try to keep up kiddo... we're talking about the House. I know we're going a mile a minute and most of these big words are over your head... But try to keep up. Thanks sport.

Haha, a simple 'yeah, I know what I said was dumb' would have been enough, but you can double down if you like. If you need to watch that old 'how a bill becomes a law' Schoolhouse Rocks video I can dig it up for you too though, keep me posted.

The Republicans are the minority in government and they aren't going along with the majority. We definitely wouldn't just want to count one single part of elected government, because that would be both pointless and stupid, so it's only reasonable to assume you weren't trying to be that. Now we can all agree they are continuing to be obstructionists!

Every once in awhile I wake up late at night worrying that we'll just never agree on anything PJ, but then you surprise me! I'm so proud of you today, it must be that it's Independence Day eve that's made you all civic minded.
