According to Senator Obama, a Washington commission is “the oldest trick in the book”.

He probably has a Czar in Charge of Bystanding so he can go play golf.

Obama stood by and let and let Pelosi turn Obamacare into a disaster. He has a habit of voting present rather than get involved. He chose to do nothing about the pipeline, knowing if he acted it would piss off his base.

I would say Obama will be wearing a navy blue tie on Jan 21, 2013 when he gets sworn in.  

Does Ax know when the Rezko pardon will happen?

Right after the election, or just before Christmas 2012 with all the others?

Do you talk to yourself often?  It looks likes Christie’s been by-standing at too many buffets.  

Presidency on sabbatical

Cook David Gregory: this [the debt] is a huge issue. Says who? Tea partiers? The premise that the debt is the thing to tackle at this particular point in time is the wrong premise

All economists from both sides of the political spectrum and those with no political affiliation agree that ‘growth’ is the key to get the recovery back on track. That means expansionary monetary policies, that being quantitative easing and stimulus

But this principled competent brilliant chess-player of a president bought into the premise and started outbidding himself towards austerity in trillions of dollars in cuts lobbing off a couple of percentage points from potential GDP growth for the next couple of years

“Axelrod pointed out that Christie endorsee Mitt Romney opposed saving the auto industry, ”

How is that working, David?

November 18, 2011

“The Treasury Department yesterday revised its loss estimate for the Government Motors bailout from $14.33 billion to $23.6 billion, thanks to the company’s sinking stock price. GM’s
Sept. 30 closing price, on which the new estimate is based, was $20.18,
about $13 less than its December IPO price and $35 less than what is
needed for taxpayers to break even.”

We must remember that Axelrod is  always in sync with Obama and knows just what Obama is thinking.

David  please remind us all how Obama’s “jobs bill” is not an “a la carte” bill.

“Obama: We’ll break up jobs bill if Senate blocks full package”

October 11, 2011 4:02 PM

LMAO!  Nice to see that the emotional meltdown of Tommy Christopher continues, as it has over the last several weeks as Obama’s chances for reelection continue to go into the toilet. Funny thing is, Christopher used to be a good writer at this site — well, not so much good, but at least he made an attempt at being somewhat fair. But all of that ended the moment we officially entered the election cycle, at which point like a true gambling addict, he decided to push ALL his chips into the pot betting on Obama.

But I just love that Tommy first tries to be a good DNC foot soldier carrying water by trying to point out: “Axelrod also reminded Gregory that the President led on the deficit way
back when, appointing the Simpson-Bowles deficit commission”…but THEN he just can’t let it go, so he gets a bug up his butt and gets all pissy by adding: “It shouldn’t be up to Axelrod and the Professional Left to point out
that the opposition to Barack Obama is so deranged, he had to use an
executive order to create that Simpson-Bowles commission.”

Wait — that would be the SAME commission whose recommendations Obama then CHOSE to ignore? The SAME commission whose recommendations that, for reasons of pure political expediency, Obama DIDN’T have the spine to follow? Yeah, I thought so.

Better luck next time, Tommy.
Maybe you should think about getting a smaller water bucket to carry…

The premise that the debt is priority one and the thing to tackle at this particular point in time is the wrong premise”

Says YOU- the debt is why the US received its 1st ever credit downgrade  and another ratings agency plans to downgrade US debt if things are not addressed:

”
11/28/11 at 11:16 PM

“Fitch Threatens to Downgrade U.S. Credit Rating”

“Standard & Poor’s downgraded American debt from a riskless AAA
rating to AA+. Moody’s currently has the rating on a negative watch. And
today, in the wake of the supercommittee shutdown, Fitch Ratings issued
its harshest threat yet: cut a deal by 2013, or face another full-blown
downgrade.”

Thank God we have perspicacious libs like YOU who can really inform  everyone that the debt is really not that big an issue and that all the rating agencies are wrong.

Man, you epitomize ignorance.

BTW, your ” brilliant chess-player of a president” is no longer playing chess- he is playing the fiddle.

Tommy, stop slobbering all over Obama. 

quantitative easing explained. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PTUY16CkS-k

“Axelrod also reminded Gregory that the President led on the deficit way back when…”

Yep, Obama has led.

Led us right into a hole from which we may never get out of.
Four more years of this Marxist criminal and America is DONE. Done and finished.

Four more years? Of Obama? We can’t tolerate four more months, four more days, four more minutes.

Maybe we could all chip in and offer Obama a deal: Go to Hawaii and stay there, permanently, and we will offer him and his wife The Moocher a couple of hundred million to retire.

I bet it might work. Then again, he loves flying around on Air Force One and sending his wife on expensive shopping sprees, so perhaps it might not.

But it is definitely worth a try.

I know you’re concerned about Christie’s weight but what does that have to do with Rezko?  Is he fat also?

So when do you think the pardon will come?

what does Rezko have to do with anything, you haters have so little to rant about that you pull obscurities out of your —

Probably, he may choose a brighter color just to p— off the Republicans who have to stand and watch.

It sounds like you guys are already out of material. Those right wing bloggers are desperate.  

Does this count as a campaign contribution to Obama?
 
This is ridiculous patrisonship

“He (the President) was prepared to lock arms with the Speaker and move forward on a $4 trillion plan to reduce the deficit,” Axelrod said, “but the Speaker returned to his caucus and he had his legs cut out from under him. That was the end of it.”

Boehner agreed to raising revenues bu $800 billion in July and thought he had a deal with Obama until Obama sent out Geithner to ash for $1.2 trillion in revenues.

http://swampland.time.com/2011/07/23/the-inside-story-of-obama-and-boehners-second-failed-grand-bargain/

The budget “crisis” was created out of thin air by Teabaggers and other Republicans in an effort to further harm our economy.

Instead of increasing the debt limit, as they had done with regularity under all white presidents, Republicans decided to hold our economy hostage and blame it on the black president.  This is what led to the “deficit deal” and the “super committee.”

As always, Republicans are being systematically trained to believe precisely the opposite of the truth.

Seeing what is going on in Greece, Spain and Italy has showed us what an out of control budget is like.

Umm… No, actually. Maybe Greece, Spain, and Italy have showed YOU what an out of control budget is like, but Bush and the Republicans showed all intelligent people.

Axelrods credibility on anything relating to common sense fairness is as relative as Barney Frank admitting he’s been straight all these years. The scurrilous machinations and lies perpetrated by this scumbag as Obama’s goon, is his legasy. I consider him a despicable hit man; a political pervert.

Damned right.  Iraq war never budgeted or paid for. 

Neat story, Tommy. You’re a great fiction writer! Ever thought of doing a book?

I’d ignore Rezko too – good deflection though.

Your buddy cnick wonders what Rezko has to do with anything? lol
Well, sweet cheeks – a good friend of Obama’s who bought the lot next door to Obama and sold it to him at a loss (during the height of prices) – now he’s in jail for 10 1/2 years for his shady dealings.

You’re right – nothing to do with Obama.  Their deal was pure as the driven snow (or the snow on the miracle mile after a few hours of traffic).

Serious cnick – you think this is an obscure event? lol

I find there’s little to be surprised about Mediaite’s resident Obama Apologist picking up this story.

His czar in charge of by standing is required to consult with Axelrod so he’ll know how to spin his way out. 

Only thing Obama doesn’t sit on the sidelines for are fund raising and stump campaign speeches. Jesus Christ, when did holding the most powerful job in the world become only a part-time position?????? WTF???

It’s funny that most of the Democrats that were on the latest commission were on Squawk Box and all of them said they received NO imput from the president. Even Sorkin who is a huge Obama lover called Valerie Jarret out when she was on. Christie is dead on with his evaluation of the president and most in the business world think Obama has been a huge disappointment.

Why wasn’t the debt an issue when the Republicans and Goober W added $6.5 trillion to the national debt 2001-fy2009?

Well, Tommy lives in an alternate universe.  I’m pretty sure he spends most of the day with his fingers in his ears and his tongue out of his mouth.  See no evil, hear no evil.  He’s a child.  It’s pretty amazing just how far he’s sunk.  I actually feel kinda bad for him.  

Bill was eating a pizza as well all at the same time. Bill was a great mutitasker.
I miss Bill.

and yet has done more than other presidents in a few years for education, safety, freedom, civil rights, economic and health policy..
that is a lot for doing nothing–especially since what he got done–the last few presidents could not..
hmmmm
did i mention bin laden and M Ka-Da-Fee?

yes we are safe, gay are not legally discriminated against in the military, 2 despots killed and major health and economic reform bills implemented..
 
not bad for being on ‘sabbatical’..
cannot wait till the next 4 years and see what Obama can do..
(he did more in 2 years than bush did in 8)
 

housing crash due to gop congress 2000-2006 …brakes put on by democrat congress in 2007-but too late.
2008 -2009 financial shutdown looms..

cons will eat their own shit to prove it is good before facing the truth..

Good one!  You’re neat.  KTHXBYE

He’s good with cut-and-paste. Not so good with thinking. 

Hey, screenwriter. Obviously you write fiction. I hope your screen plays are better than this.

Ahhh, The Axelrod of Evil piping in. How refreshing.  We he’s telling the truth!

So sell stocks and buy bonds?

I’d just like to add, (as it seems as good a place as any) that the words “outraged” and “rant” are two of the most overused utterances in contemporary english.

Was Governor Christie really ranting?  If so, then what was Mussolini doing on that balcony over the plaza?  (note: Il Duce was doing it in Italian, but I think my point is made)? Ouch!

(Note: The Godwin effect does not count for Benito)  So There!

My Thanks to QUENIA, for allowing me to add on to her astute observation.

“or snow on the miracle mile after a few hours of traffic”

Nicely done, good imagery!  You get a cookie!

Purveyor

You need to find another religion?

(he did more in 2 years than bush did in 8)

Not true!  Bush took full advantage of the Patriot Act and violated our civil liberties as much as humanly possible, not to mention embarrassing us on nearly daily basis.

Mostly False.

Obama did not act immediately on the commission’s recommendations, however, since then, the president delineated deficit reduction measures comparable to the recommendations of Simpson-Bowles. It is wrong to imply that the president ignored the commission’s proposals.

http://tinyurl.com/6mp95yc

To be fair, he’s either been called a tyrannt or a bystander — sometimes both at the same time; it would be refreshing to see the right come up with something besides empty rhetoric, name-calling, and useless criticism.  How about some constructive criticism?  Like, “Mr. President, we’d like to see some leadership from you on this deficit deal because we can’t come to a deal ourselves.  We’ll meet on Monday with our proposals in hand and work out a three-way deal since the super-committee didn’t work out.”

… Except no one on the right really wants that to succeed, do they? I don’t understand why they’re blaming him for not providing leadership when it’s their own jobs they’re failing at. The House and the Senate have their own leadership; they don’t need the President holding their hands.

Politifact rated Christie’s statement , Pants on Fire

http://www.politifact.com/new-jersey/statements/2011/dec/04/chris-christie/chris-christie-claims-barack-obama-did-nothing-t/

Poor thing- you can not dispute one thing I posted.

Chris Christi had his chance to run and chose not to. But he tried to rip off his voters for helicopter rides until he was caught. These TEA-GOP-Republicans keep shooting themselves in the foot, don’t they?

They didn’t add $6.5 trillion over 8 years – they added $5 trillion.

Barry has added debt at over TWICE the rate that Bush did-  Bush- $5 trillion over 8 years

barry $4.5 trillion in LESS than 3 years.

Facts:

“Number of Americans in poverty at record high”

“”U.S. Food-Stamp Use Reaches Record 45.8 Million, USDA Says”
“Foreclosures in 2011 to break last year’s record”
BTW, it is NOT a GOP Congress- The Dems control the Senate.

I see facts are strangers to you.

Your argument had already been dismantled. It would have been redundant.

You Libs below. Open your eyes, the messiah has no clothes.

Radical senior moment, I guess you’d prefer that modicum of honesty Corrizine to run your finances

I love that axle rod had the balls to mention Simpson Bowles but forgot to mention Obama summarily dismissed their recommendations, lol at you Lib koolaid drinkers.

“Marxist”

Highly unlikely as he is a “conservative” whose fiction is even worse than his own reality.

Just let Shit-Gun go on. He’s like Bluto on “Animal House” except much, much, more stupid and ignorant.

Wait for it. Next up: Ayers! Rev. Wright! Black Panthers!
Wingnut “conservative” scum bags never cease to amaze.

Is this a GBTV opening monologue transcript? 

Arod is usually pretty good at defending the president … as a matter of fact he is his best defender imho … but that was either a Rick Perry moment for Arod … like hoot13 mentioned or worse … could it be that he really did not have a great answer to the Governors criticism … either way .. memo to Arod – if your the Prez’s mouthpiece out there u need to have his back a whole lot better than u did … your response was pretty lame!

Does anyone see axelrod as a hitler look- a- like..?
That may or may not be but he is as dumb as dirt and has no opinions other then the democrat machine that forwards to him before he shows up on the left wing sunday shows…..He makes me roar with laughter…The more we see of axel and debb wasserman shutz,the better we will do in November….

What I think about Axelrod is unprintable.
