Barry's counting the days until he can quit being POTUS and teach El Tigre how to putt.

Do you have some kind of problem with darkies?

[LeadBolt]

This.

Oh, sure. This. Unfortunately infrasructure, airports, and parks aren't on our politicians pork lists. What color is the sky in your world?

Not sure about the sky, but the grass is still green....

Really? I could name 30 right now. Does that count as a "handful"?

not in electoral politics...

polling continuously tells us that voters don't give a **** about the debt (and considering something like 70% is owned by American bond holders... that might even make some sense)

Thats because in the past we never faced a deficit or national debt this big. More and more people are coming to realize we are facing an economic armageddon. (Personally I think we're already fucked and past the point of no recturn).

if you think voters went to the polls in 2010 because of the debt... you are kidding yourself.

2010 was about gopers being pissed about being out of power, and donks staying home and sitting on their hands because not enough got done.

spending really doesn't rankle the average voter aside from mild grumblings about there being too much of it... it isn't the kind of thing gets a voter off their ass and gets them to change behavior... the people you describe were voting conk in 06 and 08 and 10...

Where did I say 2010 was about the debt?

2010 was about dissatisfaction with Obama, donks and healthcare/spending. 2012 will be about the deficit. You guys swung and missed in 2010, thinking the public was thrilled with stimulus packages, obamacare, etc., etc., that put the country trilliosn of dollars in hock. If you DON'T think 2012 will be about the deficit, prepare for a 1-term Obama (see my sig) and a conk-controlled SENATE as well.
