Who has allowed the republicans to frame the budget showdown as an uncompromising Senate issue? Who has allowed the republicans to gain enough balls to place Medicare and Medicaid on the chopping block? Who has just got his ass handed to him because he didn't frame it as a line in the sand moment when he proposed his 40billion budget? My President Obama.
Today, I have to rethink my strategy to unconditionally support this president. Don't get me wrong, I will vote for him but this 11 dimensional chess shite is getting old. I am beginning to think he, from day one, is a person who hates to have other people hate him if he comes across as angry or cruel or doesn't like to say no. I got a word for that, SUCKER. Straight up, I will vote for him, but from here on out...I won't be surprised at nothing that comes down the pike, like I was before. Maybe I have not been paying attention all these years. Maybe I am just one of those people who doesnt give a shite about politics till they come to my door or cut off my food stamps. But dammit, I was WARM this afternoon when I realized that President Obama STILL will not lay the blame where it belongs and is still on this bullshite compromise crap. If we avoid the government shutdown because the democrats give in to all of what the republicans want, at least 15 billion more cuts from my last count than the 33 already on the table, politics will have lost me and any talk of it will be NEVER up for discussion in my house. My kids, who dont like anything except reality tv, knew damn near all the talk show hosts names, when they came on and what the difference was between FAKE Noise and CNN and MSNBC were. My kid who is 17 would say" that Hannity guy is talkin' 2 point crazy again, mom." If the democrats lose this argument and give in because they are scared of their reelection and not concerned about the damage the republicans will do if it does pass, its a rap for me. I will still vote, but with ZERO enthusiasm to bring along young voters to the booths with me like I have done for the past several years. Here is hoping the President I wanted, shows up..........kicking ass.
