(86,577 posts)that during the first presidential candidates' debate, like a sucker punch, R$ comes out spewing his version of everything that Obama had been campaigning on like chimp on crank. All the lip service one could stand without puking. And that's just what we're seeing from the mouths of the obstructionists this week, lip service... or the equivalent of a big wet BJ to make it look like they are having a change of heart so that we might foolishly give them the benefit of the doubt again. Not this time, sportsfans.
We've seen this dog and pony show too many times now and we keep getting the shaft thrust further and further up our collective wahoo every time. I'm not holding my breath.
The president has the power of executive order and should we decide to go over the mole-hill-sized fiscal cliff, he could make certain that a number of bad things do not go immediately into effect giving the NEWLY ELECTED Congress the time to rally and make the necessary changes. I have no confidence in the current lame duck set of cronies make any more legislation. Tell them to just go home now and fucking stay there and STFU.
