General Discussion
Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsJust FYI, in my unfortunately conservative leaning circles, President Obama is being annointed
budget slasher in chief. He owns it as far as my brainless acquaintances are concerned. Everywhere they turn they're seeing cuts and they are emphatically saying "thanks Obama, for cutting the programs that are important to me." There better be some serious damage control to counteract the spin doctors on the sequester fiasco. It's not looking pretty from my corner of the world.

(2,770 posts)who does one 'remind' of the facts? The people who watch FAUX all day and think it's actually the news?
Sadly, there is still no known cure for stupid.

(7,397 posts)It was a fairly bipartisan vote, a bunch of Republicans voted against it in both chambers. Then of course the President signed it. I personally believe both sides are at fault and actually want this, anything publicly being said is just theatre for the masses.

What is it with these people. If its not the bottle, then try burping them or give 'em a teething ring. What on earth is bothering them now?

(4,192 posts)Half the time I hear this kind of crap, I'd swear it has more to do with coming up with zingers that put down the president. They have no real interest in constructive, critical analysis.
Tragic thing is, too, about these kind of people is they are usually the first to open their mouths and inflict the rest of us with their ignorance. It's up to us to not let them be the only voice in the room.

The radical right wing has been very successful at destroying America with this one fact of human nature; stupid can be taught.

(8,879 posts)all important "Independent" voter who is easily swayed by the latest soundbite they heard. If that last idea is that Obama and the dems cost me my standard of living, well then we have 2010 part deux.
