Larry Kudlow reporting his sources says deal is pretty much done

[woolldog]

*says he loves it and it's pro-growth*

3-4 trillion in cuts, including entitlement cuts, no immediate revenue component.

[still_one]

1. I thought I voted for the Democrat in 2008, I guess I was wrong /nt

[UrbScotty]

2. So we're supposed to trust KUDLOW?!?!

[woolldog]

7. Why not?

He's pretty good.

[UrbScotty]

10. Watch his show and see how right-wing he is. (nt)

[woolldog]

14. I watch the show everyday.

He's good on the markets. Definitely has a right wing slant when it comes to opinion. But accurately reports facts. And it's not like to s of other sources like the NYT, Wapo et al aren't saying the same thing.

[MNBrewer]

12. will you start trusting him when the deal comes out as he said it would?

[emulatorloo]

30. See post 28. White house: Anyone reporting a $3 trillion deal without revenues is incorrect.

[Mimosa]

13. ^ What you said ^

Kudlow is kreepy.

Does this mean Obama is selling us out and neo-cons are happy?

[CakeGrrl]

17. Sure it does! Hurry, get the grapevine started!

:crazy:

[monmouth]

3. If Kudlow said it they're probably miles apart. He's never right..n/t

[jefferson_dem]

4. Kudlow?

I'll wait for confirmation from O'Reilly and Hannity before passing judgement.

[emulatorloo]

11. Lol n/t

[woolldog]

5. He's wondering now whether this is too good to be true.

lol. I kid you not.

[ProSense]

6. Well,

that settles it. Stop the presses!

Deal confirmed!

[stevedeshazer]

8. If Kudlow's for it, it's horrible.

I'm already against it.

[woolldog]

9. ......

*calls the deal a " Reagan solution " *

[CakeGrrl]

15. It's official: Some DUers only trust Republican-friendly 'news' sources.

:wtf:

[Ikonoklast]

31. Some DU'ers *are* Republicans.

Of the fuzzy canine variety.


Really fooled me, by gum.



Oh, and Kudlow is insane.

[Countdown_3_2_1]

16. We don't know for sure who caves just yet.

If Boner caves, the GOP is dead. He has no choice.
If the President stands firm, the govt shuts down and people are dead.

--thats a heck of a choice to be forced to make---

I'm not going to go too hard on President Obama if he backs down on this...Could you watch innocents die?

[ClarkUSA]

18. Anyone believes CNBC's top right-wing nut Larry Kudlow is an idiot.

[woolldog]

23. Actually Rick Santelli

is cnbc's top right wing nut *

[Autumn]

19. He's a republican stooge, but he does seem

to be protected and has puke friends in high place. So he could be gloating.

[woolldog]

20. Clyburn on the show now

*says he won't vote for anything that cuts benefits*

[woolldog]

21. per Kudlow:

* 3.7 trillion, will be presented to the republican house caucus tmrw *

[Change Happens]

22. So it is the gang raped option?

[woolldog]

24. I dunno......nt

[CakeGrrl]

25. "Will be presented to the Republican House Caucus". SO F'IN WHAT??

And even if the House Rs/Teabaggers manage to greenlight it, you think the Senate - you know, the group led by Harry Reid, who just finished saying today that they won't pass anything WITHOUT revenue increases, will pass it?

[woolldog]

27. No immediate revenue component

Isn't the same as no revenue component. Could give Reid some wiggle room.

[emulatorloo]

29. See my post below.

[woolldog]

33. your post does not address the point:

A delayed revenue componenet is what people are saying is in the deal. That's perfectly consistent with what the wh said in that tweet.

[Cali_Democrat]

26. If Kudlow is satisfied then this plan must SUCK ASS!!!!

:grr:

[emulatorloo]

28. White house: Anyone reporting a $3 trillion deal without revenues is incorrect.

Apparently concerned that some observers think Obama might agree to a package that would include only spending cuts, White House Communications Director Dan Pfeiffer said on Twitter, "Anyone reporting a $3 trillion deal without revenues is incorrect. POTUS believes we need a balanced approach that includes revenues."

[Robbins]

32. Look

If reports are correct,and that remains a very big If,and major cuts to Social Security,Medicare,and Medicaid happen with no Immedate
tax Increases on the wealthy I will not give any more more to Obama only vote for him.

If this Is true you have to wonder what kind of iditos Obama has as advisors.Any cuts allows Republicans to say the black man wants
to elimate old white people's benefits.He's running for reelection and he Is going to elinate Democrats.Have they learned nothing
from 2010?

[larwdem]

34. NO NO NO

FUCKING WAY WILL I trust what that dick says

[DrToast]

35. Great reporting, Kudlow.*

[DFab420]

36. Haha Larry Kudlow NAILED it.

Obama jsut held a presser saying that the deal was done right!!!!


Oh wait....

[woolldog]

37. The details LK laid out on the deal were correct.

Boehner took it to his caucus today like Larry said they would and they nixed it. Larry was spot on.

[DFab420]

40. Sorry but a deal isn't done when one side walks out and says

"In the end, we couldn't connect," Boehner wrote. "Not because of different personalities, but because of different visions for our country. The president is emphatic that taxes have to be raised. The president is adamant that we cannot make fundamental changes to our entitlement programs."

[stevenleser]

38. Now we see why CNBC has shitty ratings. n/t

[Sheepshank]

39. Based on Obama's speech, I'd say Kudlow is a rumor monger not much else n/t
