Now there's an empty spot in the debates for Sarah Palin. Woooo Hoooo!
Obama's watch stopped on 24 May 2008, but he's been too busy smoking crack to notice.
Michelle Bachman took him down.
Yep, and the Obama campaign celebrated. Now if only she can get rid of Romney and Perry and win the nomination.

Do you just hate conservatives? Seriously. What is wrong with Bachman? Is is because she is a woman? I think Perry could win it. I don't know if that would be good though.
She's a nut Stone. After she voted to raise the debt ceiling by $6 trillion over 8 years she now says she's opposed to any increase in the debt ceiling, a stance that directly led to the recent debt downgrade.

If your honest with yourself. You know the budget is way to big. They needed more spending cuts. If they had taken Rand Pauls proposal there would have been no downgrade. Obama voted against raising the debt ceiling.
From who? Or what?? NASA??
"It's not surprising, then, they [White Pennsylvanians] get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations." ~ Comrade-in-Chief Barry Hussein 0bama
yes. there would have because the negative economic impact would have called into question our ability to meet our obligations. Read the S&P report and recent statements: they continue to cite two primary reasons for the downgrade. First is the talk by Tea Party Republicans about how a default wouldn't be so bad. Second is the a concern that short-term spending cuts without stimulus would depress the economy. You don't seem to want to accept the fact that instantly cutting 40% of federal spending will have large negative economic impacts.
Tagline for sale - inquire within
There will be bad consequences every way. That is the best option. Your path is suicide.
From who? Or what?? NASA?? LOLOL!!!
Obama opposed raising the debt ceiling when he was in the Senate and now he supports it. He he a nut too?
And it all depends on what is cut..... If it's bullshit like what was on that list I posted nobody would even know or care.... (we weren't having any problems paying the bills with Bush's budget but we are with Obozos and we are spending 1.6 trillion more!!!!!! ROTFLMAO)...... But no, we can't cut that bullshit, gotta cut loans for college students, cut out money for retirees, Social security, Medicare..... etc ......etc...etc..... Things that piss people off and hurt them....... the poor are just pawns in this game, I wonder how they feel about constantly being used to push a bullshit Democrat political agenda.......
When asked by a Liberal what I bought my Granddaughter for her 1st birthday I replied, "MORE AMMUNITION"!!!! -----------------------------"People sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf."
that list you posted wasn't 40% of federal spending in one year. You could end ALL discretionary spending immediately and it wouldn't be enough to balance the budget. You need to immediately cut over $1.2 trillion spending, and once the impact of such spending destroying the economy, you would likely have to cut another $800 billion to $1 trillion. After interest on the debt, that leaves about $600 billion for everything else. What is the tea party planning on doing? Opening the borders, dismissing the military and emptying federal prisons? Ending Medicaid and social security immediately? The basic fundamental flaw in tea party economics (if I can even call it that) is that they don't look at where actual federal spending is going.
Tagline for sale - inquire within
No, he's a politician. But there's no way he would have voted against raising it if there was a chance of it not being raised. BTW, Reagan supported raising it 17 times, by your logic that makes him a flaming liberal.
Tagline for sale - inquire within
But I have no doubt you could find enough of that kind of bullshit to get your 40%....... Honestly I think you could get to 60%...... We were doing fine paying the bills with Bush's budget, why $1.6 trillion more and it isn't enough????? Because I would imagine that all of that extra spending is the same kind of silly stuff that is on the list I posted.... totally useless spending..... If you really knew what they spent money on you would shit yourself...... Do you need an underground crosswalk for turtles on your street???? Somebody does because the government has paid for some!!!!!!! Do you have any idea how many trillions of dollars businesses (in and outside of the US) are sitting on waiting for Obozo to be kicked to the curb????? (somewhere in the 6-8 trillion dollar range)!!!!!! compare that to what the (cough... cough.....) "government" (if you can call it that, clusterfuck is more appropriate) can spend...... government can't even come close.... get rid of socialist policies and regulations and the economy will come back.... if you don't it won't.... plain, pure and simple...... it's not brain surgery...... but then again some people need new brains.....
When asked by a Liberal what I bought my Granddaughter for her 1st birthday I replied, "MORE AMMUNITION"!!!! -----------------------------"People sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf."
It took Reagan 17 times and it didn't even get over $2 trillion total..... Obozo got over that alone in the last one $2.4.... right...... over $5 trillion total in 3 years......
When asked by a Liberal what I bought my Granddaughter for her 1st birthday I replied, "MORE AMMUNITION"!!!! -----------------------------"People sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf."
They know where it's going, that list proves that most of it "IS" total bullshit..... Let me guess you think giving money to ACORN to perpetrate voter fraud is a good cause????
When asked by a Liberal what I bought my Granddaughter for her 1st birthday I replied, "MORE AMMUNITION"!!!! -----------------------------"People sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf."
Reagan tripled the national debt during his time as President. Obama hasn't come close despite inheriting a $1.2 trillion deficit. Tagline for sale - inquire within
Let me guess you think giving money to ACORN to perpetrate voter fraud is a good cause???? tell me again where you are going to come up with $1.2 to $2 trillion in IMMEDIATE cuts (out of $3.4 trillion budget. Your list added up to $2.5 trillion over 10 years, or $250 billion a year. Now what else do you advocate cutting right away?

When asked by a Liberal what I bought my Granddaughter for her 1st birthday I replied, "MORE AMMUNITION"!!!! -----------------------------"People sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf."
nice chart - glad you accept that public debt rose sharply starting in 1981 and fell during the Clinton administration before rising again under Bush. Reagan tripled the debt, that's a fact. Obama hasn't come anywhere close to that.
Tagline for sale - inquire within
ROTFLMAO.... good luck with that statement that's not what the chart shows.... Reagan-2, Obozo-5.......
When asked by a Liberal what I bought my Granddaughter for her 1st birthday I replied, "MORE AMMUNITION"!!!! -----------------------------"People sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf."
that doesn't come anywhere close to adding up to another $1 - 1.5 trillion. Try again.
Tagline for sale - inquire within
The fact is that Reagan tripled the debt. You an deny it all you want, but facts are facts. Sorry. Reagan inhereted a national debt of $900 billion and handed George HW Bush a national debt of $2.7 trillion (after 17 increases in the debt ceiling. It took 31 years for the debt to go from $300 billion to $900 billion. Reagan tripled it in just 8.

Try again. Yea it does......
When asked by a Liberal what I bought my Granddaughter for her 1st birthday I replied, "MORE AMMUNITION"!!!! -----------------------------"People sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf."
Sorry, it doesn't. You don't seem to care much about facts. The Bush last budget, absent war spending, was $3.2 trillion. The most recent Obama budget proposal, inclusive of war spending, was $3.7 trillion.

I haven't seen that "FACT" yet, just an opinion.....
When asked by a Liberal what I bought my Granddaughter for her 1st birthday I replied, "MORE AMMUNITION"!!!! -----------------------------"People sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf."

It is a fact that Reagan tripled the national debt. Look for yourself: http://www.treasurydirect.gov/govt/reports/pd/histdebt/histdebt_histo4.htm
Tagline for sale - inquire within
Spending originates with congress.
http://www.treasurydirect.gov/govt/reports/pd/histdebt/histdebt_histo4.htm I did and it looks like they have an "OPINION" too....... that's about the 6th different opinion I have seen perusing all the different websites on who spent what...... So we are back to Reagan-$2 trillion, Obozo-$5 trillion......
When asked by a Liberal what I bought my Granddaughter for her 1st birthday I replied, "MORE AMMUNITION"!!!! -----------------------------"People sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf."
it's not an opinion. Sorry.

Good point, and Republicans have held the House since January. So why are folks like you and CZ blaming Obama for the deficit?
Tagline for sale - inquire within
Because they tried to cut spending and Obama cried like a bitch. It's Obamas fault. Everyone knows it no matter how you try to spin for him.
I guess you can't quite grasp the fact that any budget/bill that originates in the House still has to be approved by Congress and the Kenyan Village Idiot...... And they won't approve any meaningful spending cuts, unless you consider a few million here or there to be "Meaningful"????? So if you want to try and blame the Pubbys for the $5 trillion dollars added to the deficit from Jan 2007 until Jan 2011 (when the Dumbassocrats held the purse strings) then by all means go right ahead...... That's the Dems stategy by not passing a budget, because they can use Bush's last budget and say "See the Pubbys are responsible for all of our debt, we tried to pass a budget but couldn't.... those nasty Tea Party people"...... Can I go ahead and laugh now or should I wait for your reply???? So what happened to Pay/Go ?????? The PAYGO system was reestablished as a standing rule of the House of Representatives (Clause 10 of Rule XXI) on January 4, 2007 by the "DEMOCRAT- CONTROLLED" 110th Congress..... Oh that's right it got ignored (By the Democrats) so they could pass all of their bulshit stimulus packages.....
When asked by a Liberal what I bought my Granddaughter for her 1st birthday I replied, "MORE AMMUNITION"!!!! -----------------------------"People sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf."
You need a civics lesson. Obama can't spend a single dollar without Congressional approval. If the House doesn't appropriate the funds, they don't get spent. The House doesn't need to pass a bill to cut spending, it simply can refuse to enact any spending at all.
Tagline for sale - inquire within
So how then did they get money when there wasn't a budget passed for 2+ years??
When asked by a Liberal what I bought my Granddaughter for her 1st birthday I replied, "MORE AMMUNITION"!!!! -----------------------------"People sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf."
The House approved the FY 2011 budget (H.R. 1473) on April 14, 2011: http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/PLAW-112publ10/content-detail.html As I said, you need a civics lesson.
Tagline for sale - inquire within
That doesn't answer how they got the money for the 2 "PRIOR" years!!!! You know the ones where there "WASN'T" a budget.....
