Gee, I sure hope the President's Big Plan wins the day so we can slash the safety net.

[European Socialist]

Just who or what am I supposed to be rooting for?.

[Zorra]

1. Rhetorical question?

I have a real strong feeling you know the answer to that question.

[somone]

2. "Government has to start living within its means, just like families do"

[Peregrine Took]

7. But a government isn't a family - its a government.

I hate it when he repeats idiot phrases like this.

[Starry Messenger]

3. I guess the smallest crumbs are the tastiest or something.

You'd think so by the way people are cooing with glee.

[somone]

5. Pellets are best

[Buns_of_Fire]

9. On the other hand, a case can be made for canned, too.

Cesar is easier to gum down than Kibbles 'n' Bits if all your teeth have fallen out due to a lack of "regular professional care" (as the Crest toothpaste ads* used to say).


* "Crest has been shown to be an effective decay-preventive dentifrice that can be of significant value when used in a conscientiously-applied program of oral hygiene and regular professional care." THAT I remember. Ask me my phone number and I have to go look it up. Go figure.

[woo me with science]

10. Fancy Feast is $4.00 a pound.

I doubt people will be able to afford that anymore.

[Buns_of_Fire]

13. I did not know that. Well, perhaps for special occasions only -- dinner parties and the like.

For everyday dining, I guess I'll stick with the house brands. (Or maybe some enterprising company will develop and market "Fancy Feast Helper".)

[QC]

14. So much for my plan to serve IAMS at my mom and dad's anniversary party.

I guess we'll have to settle for the store brand.

[QC]

4. But just think about how firm and resolute the president will look at the bill signing!

He's so grown up! {sigh}

[woo me with science]

6. I have every single trading card.

Swoon.




:puke:

[QC]

11. My favorite is the shirtless-at-the-beach photo!

It's in my locker!

[Safetykitten]

19. But it's his technique that I find utterly dreeeeamy!

[Bluebear]

24. He made them blink! And he yelled at Cantor!

I swooned!

[European Socialist]

8. I guess I should consider myself lucky...

there are two Republican Parties to choose from.

[bvar22]

12. YAY!

President Obama will only slash Social Security and Medicare a little this time!!!!
The Republicans would have been worse.

He SAVED Social Security!!!

We can Fix it Later!!!!

Its ALL Joe Lieberman's Fault!!!


YES WE CAN!
I'm all fired up and ready to GO!!!
:woohoo:

Which Way to the Mission Accomplished Victory Parade?


"There are forces within the Democratic Party who want us to sound like kinder, gentler Republicans.
I want a party that will STAND UP for Working Americans."
---Paul Wellstone


You will know them by their WORKS,
not by their excuses.

[jimmyflint]

20. I'm so sick of this

I wish somebody would stand up for the American workers instead of "free trade." I'll tell you there ain't anything free about free trade. It's sick to see so many people willing to sell their brothers(and sisters)jobs, just to line their own pockets with the almighty dollar.

That quote is awesome:
"There are forces within the Democratic Party who want us to sound like kinder, gentler Republicans.
I want a party that will STAND UP for Working Americans."
---Paul Wellstone

I hope more people wake the hell up.

[kenny blankenship]

15. Don't worry! This time he went BIG for his opening bargaining position -so a medium plan will result

All you liberals who're always complaining about how Obama begins negotiations with Republicans by offering an initial bid resembling what should be the compromise deal, reached only after torturous haggling, instead of opening with a strong, unapologetically Democratic proposal should be happy now. He finally listened to you!

[girl gone mad]

23. You summed up his current dilemma.

Republicans can't go far right enough to mask his extremist neoliberal moves any longer.

[blindpig]

16. k&r

[thereismore]

17. You nailed it! I fear the repigs might actually agree with the big deal! nt

[amborin]

18. K&R

[anamandujano]

21. Reading this thread makes me think things aren't going well.

Off to look for another. Anything at all good on the radar?

[slay]

22. Good question

i wish we had somebody else TO root for. i can't ever root for republicans - nor can i root for Obama. this is what happens when mega corporations buy both parties and we end up with a right wing so called democrat (wink wink) for president. it's disgusting - and we have no good way out of it. :(
