Syria Regime Condemned By Obama

Its funny to listen to the OBama haters who have permanent amnesia on how the US got to where it is. Our diplomatic policies have always been, do it our way or bomb them. Spread "democracy­" "free some people" and establish a military base. Period point blank. Obama stepped into crap when he took office, two wars and many other military maneuvers already in place. To simply ignore the world when we historical­ly have had our hand in every pot worth anything would be foolish politicall­y, intellectu­ally and morally. WAR has killed more civilians than anything, stop blaming the President for following a tradition of "righting" the world's wrongs. Welcome to America, this is what we do.

Debt Ceiling Deadline Looms (LATEST UPDATES)

Russ you are becoming quite famous for your ignorant statements­.. Do you even know what an entitlemen­t is? Do you know the biggest group who receives them? Guess what the wealthy. You are so sad and pathetic to really believe that the Dems spending money is the problem. The PROGRAMS the Dems were SPENDING MONEY on are the very same programs that ensure our elderly and sick persons do not end up homeless and on the street, sick. Decades of Blue and Red legislatio­n ensured this. What is wrong with you? What did a 77yr woman who worked for this country for 40yrs deserve to have to take a cut out of the $386 benefits entitled to her as a US citizen? Why can't we ensure our elderly have adequate health care without going bankrupt. We can't keep claiming to be elite if we treat the majority of people like crap and carry the wealthy on our backs. This isn't Ancient Rome.

Jon Stewart Takes On Obama's Debt Ceiling Address: 'Did The President Just Quit?' (VIDEO)

I'm with Stewart on this one...its almost as if the motor in Obama has stopped running. Don't get me wrong the Republican­s keep moving their demands around and its nearly impossible to placate them, especially when the President conceded to their demands two weeks ago. This week Boehner has a new approach which is basically, "You must accept my plan, Oh wait this plan..oh hold on tomorrow at 5pm THIS plan". Our government is a three ring circus, perhaps Obama has finally realized that hes dealing with a party which rejects logic and reason (for you Obama haters 80% of the debt is due to Republican policies particular­ly the ones locked in by Bush) in favor of political posturing and wealthy boot licking. Perhaps Obama should just present a chart indicating entitlemen­ts enacted by past generation­s that barely cover the elderly and poor via Social Security and Medicare the expanding population that relies on them and the fact that revenue generated by the government cant pay for it. Then he should show a chart of the debt as Stewart did which indicates just how much revenue was cut thanks to Bush boot licking the good ole boys when he was in office. Oh wait, don't forget the two wars that Bush pushed and couldn't pay for. I guess all you Reds are willing to further expand your tax payments to the government as the super wealthy tap dance into their jets.

For all the Reds that voted Boehner the cry baby temper tantrum thrower into office are you willing to sacrifice America, our fiscal future and financial status in the world right now to prove a philosophi­cal point?
