Potential Government Shut Down

[firstdown]

I wonder if the people who voted for Obama figured they would see their own goverment shut down before Gitmo. LOL This guy is becoming a bigger joke everyday.

Good one.

If he wins again we will know who the bigger joke is, him or the sad sack of shit that is the republican party.

Not sure who yet....shame Christie isn't running. Michelle Bachmann is a strong possibility. But with numbers like these as long as the GOP doesn't run Palin or Gingrich (negative opinions too high) there's a solid chance of regaining the WH in 2012.

Sure hope Bachmann doesn't run, agree about Christie. But those who would probably vote for Christie anyway are not a large contingency. Could be a VP candidate. He did make the finals of VP Madness (against Marc Rubio) on MittRomneyCentral.com

As for is there anyone who can beat President Obama? Well, it's still early. Past elections should have taught us that

Bachmann makes Palin look tame. Doubt she could even get the nomination let alone beat Obama. Right now I don't see a viable candidate, but as SS said it's early.

Thought this was interesting from Slate, on Bachmann:

Michele Bachmann for president? Among Republicans, she's more popular than you think. - By David Weigel - Slate Magazine

I want someone new who is not an insider but I don't think that will happen. The blame game is now starting from both side on this shut down. Is it really that hard to cut 100 billion from the budget. The right needs to concede on some of the corporate tax breaks (GE) "by the way F&^k GE and I will not buy any more of their products" and the dems need to concede on some of the other cuts.

and work together? surely you jest

This isn't about who is living in The House. It's about two sides that are not willing to care about the people they are supposed to be serving enough to cut the bullshit. When our country gave up on it's people and cared more about money than ever we started heading down tis slope. Some of you may feel it's this president who is at fault, I feel that he shoulders some of the blame. It's everyone that works down the street from where I do who is to blame. They all need to sit down and think about what they are doing to the american people.

The companies that are making money hand over fist yet they pay no taxes, give them a bill just like I get every paycheck and every year. Maybe that can help a little bit ?

What do I know, not too much but **** them all for the stress they are putting us through. All this standoff at High Noon bullshit is real childish.

We are animals with competing interests and I require a different type/level of service.

I actually don't care if the goverment does shut down because I feel they do more harm then good when they are actually working passing bill.

To hell with those rich shits. They'll still get paid, but all of us contractors get dick while they play their game. They'll still get their perks while the federal employees hope they get paid for their time out. I hate politics, and the games that go along with government.

I'm walking around my building and folks are just dragging, sad as hell, talking about whether or not we'll be here monday or not. F it, I can't help what happens it's in their hands, but **** all the people that are playing with peoples lives. Make those big companies pay some taxes and stop giving money away while they send jobs elsewhere. I'm done man, I'm starting to get upset, I'll be burning about 5 tonight !

Sorry to hear about your situation. Do you work for the government or a contractor that does government work.
