Government shutdown: it's all Obama's fault

[Hugabear]

Um, yeah...

[Zoeisright]

1. Look at all those stupid old farts.

Not a functioning brain cell among them.

And all, I'm sure, sucking off the government teat, as they call it.

[27inCali]

35. the only reason they have the time to be there? they're retired

living off SS and Medicare. Probably every single last one of those hypocrites.

[murielm99]

2. Look at fat ol' Captain America!

Whatta man! Be still, my heart!

[Tabasco_Dave]

3. I wonder how Mr Retired Air Force will feel

when his military retirement check doesn't show up. :eyes:

[Cid_B]

16. Retirement checks are a sepeate fund...

... and will continue. Active duty pay will not.

[trotsky]

23. Yeah but his sign says he wants spending cut *extremely*.

Let's cut retirement payments to ex-military. I think that's pretty damn extreme.

[no_hypocrisy]

4. I can't get past how it reminds me of a crowd yelling for an individual to jump to his death.

[sendero]

5. We'll see...

.. the Republicans have bent Obama over every time, he folds like a paper napkin so now they expect to roll him again.

If he'd had a spine in dealing with them before he wouldn't be playing the moving goalpost game with them right now.

As for a shutdown, I believe that it will marginally hurt the Republicans more than the Dems but nobody really knows.

[katnapped]

7. Well it kinda "is"...

If they'd gotten this mess done LAST YEAR we wouldn't be dealing with this crap now.

But, nah, that wouldn't have been prudent. Better to wait until Republicans are running things.....

[JTFrog]

12. Really?

Cuz it's not like they have to do it every year or anything. :eyes:

:shrug:

[kentuck]

6. I know you rider

8. In all honesty

I've seen a lot of posts here calling for the government to be shut down.

[dennis4868]

9. Right

And also blaming Obama for everything....tea baggers and many liberals have slot in common....a passionate hate for Obama

[JTFrog]

10. Indeed. n/t

[dennis4868]

14. Yep

Really sad...

[bdamomma]

19. yes I agree this is all about screwing Obama, they can't stand him.

jerks

[JoeyT]

37. All criticism looks like hate to members of a religion. n/t

[JTFrog]

11. The stupid.

It burns.

[Obamanaut]

13. I think it's ok to put the blame on Obama and the Dems, at least a good part of it.

The Dems had all three units at that time - White House, Senate, and House. One does tend to wonder why we are still dickering with continuing resolutions six months into the fiscal year.

Fiscal year begins Oct 1, budget for new year due, dems in control, elections not until Nov. - didn't they know well before Oct 1 the budget was due for the new fiscal year? It is, after all, the same time every year.

So yeah, a good portion of the blame can go there.

[JTFrog]

15. Blame Obama.

Somewhere a republican thanks you.

[Obamanaut]

17. "The buck stops here." Fiscal year ending, budget due, no budget from

one of the three groups controlled by the party of the guy in charge (ostensibly.)

Too much worry about re-elections, not enough about running stuff.

[JTFrog]

20. I can hear

them clapping for you now....

[Obamanaut]

21. It's like the guy in the movie said

"You can't stand the truth!"

What did happen last year when the budget was due, as it is every year at the same time? Quite likely it was a case of more people worrying about being reelected than doing what they were paid to do.

Then, many were not reelected, but still had time prior to cleaning out their desks, and yet continued to fail to do what they were being paid to do.

edited to change an 'is' to 'it'

[JTFrog]

22. Indeed.

Standing ovation. :applause:


:eyes:

[bdamomma]

18. damn those people are so stupid

don't they know how many people are going to suffer?? they don't care.

[Hugabear]

24. As long as it affects "welfare mommas" they don't care.

We all know how they feel about people on welfare. As far as everyone else who will be hurt, it's just a small price to pay for them.

[jillan]

25. WTF is with the Captain America costume? Doesn't the comic book hero get assassinated?

[Hugabear]

26. I think they brought him back to life

Just like they did with Superman and Batman.

[madinmaryland]

27. All are white and over 50-55. Interesting. And they wonder

why we think they are a bunch of racists.

Idiots.

[dixiegrrrrl]

28. I talked with a very nice Republican yesterday, who said...

she and hubby watch Fox news.
and did I know, she asked, that under Obama the price of gas has gone all the way up to 3.89 a gallon
but when Bush took office it was only 1.89.
( I felt like saying, Under President Kennedy Gas Prices Decreased by 1 Cents per Gallon, and under
FDR it was REAL cheap)

THEN she tells me she thinks the shutdown is a good idea,
BUT
she is worried that if the government shuts down, she and her husband may not get their Soc. Sec. check and Medicare.

Totally went over her head what she said.
I just listened, fascinated by this magnificent demonstration of cognitive dissonance.

[madinmaryland]

29. Oh man! That is the perfect definition of a teabagger!

:rofl:

[dixiegrrrrl]

30. Mr. d says they are stupid. I disagree.

I think they are ignorant, because they do some very smart things. They manage to make money and build their houses, raise their family, do all of the things that are important in these Southern communities.
But, they are under-educated, usually do not read often, ( the husband in this case is functionally illiterate)
have few critical thinking skills.
they are ignorant, not stupid.
Joe Bageant understood that very well.

Oh, and this family fixes my roof when I need it, raises the organic beef I buy, will come over in 24 hours if I ever need help.

Nothing really is black and white about "them" vs "us".

[madinmaryland]

36. Interestingly, we have teabaggers in the north also. I would not say they are ignorant. Selfish

is a better description. They got theirs, and screw everyone else. Until, of course, they hit a rough patch in life, then they are all over the "government gravy train"

You comment about them having "few critical thinking skills" is spot on. The fact that they ALL watch and believe everything they see on faux news, is proof of that!

[AsahinaKimi]

31. How Totally Pathetic

とてもかわいそ=totally pathetic
無様だ=Hideous/annoying

[SweepPicker]

32. AsahinaKimi

can you please write out Republicans are totally pathetic?

[AsahinaKimi]

33. sure.. I think so..

Amerika no kyo owashugi sha ga totemo kawaiso desuyo!

アメリカのきょおわしゅぎしゃがとてもかわいそですよ!


Had to use my Dictionary to look up Republican. I hope thats correct.



共和党= Republican Party.

アメリカの共和党がとてもかわいそですよ!

(The Republican party is pathetic.)

[TNLib]

34. So a few crazy old white people have our government hostage

Yay I love America!
