Reply to everyone whining about the Tea Party..... trzaska2000 Send a noteboard - 06/08/2011 06:58:40 PM
You all need to slow your roll.....yes, I am hip.

The "Tea Party" is 80-90 out of 435 members of the House and a handful of Senators. Obama had the chance to lead and cut a deal with everyone else. This didn't work because there are as many left-wing wackos in Congress than Tea-Baggers and Obama couldn't lead these folks.

Bottom-line, Obama is OUR PRESIDENT. Leaders have to lead and get the job done. S&P has been saying since the start of the year that significant deficit reduction was needed. Boehner agreed to $800B in revenue increases, but Obama pushed for more, so the grand bargin fell apart.

Once again, no leadership coming from the WH. As my wonderful Governor (Chris Christie) says, leaders have to lead on the easy issues and the tough issues. And if something critcal gets f'ed up, regardless of who did what, you are mostly to blame. That's part of the job signed up for. If he is afraid to make tough decisions, he can go back to the IL State Senate where he can hide and vote present over 100 times.
