So if defeating the Catfood Commission's recommendations is all up to Pelosi -
Edited on Fri Nov-12-10 10:53 PM by donco6
Then are you going to change the name of whatthefuckhasobamadonesofar.com to whatthefuckhasnancydonesofar.com?

Because pretty much everything in there was actually done by Nancy.

You can't have it both ways. Either he's responsible for items passed by Congress and gets to take credit for them, (and therefore will bear the brunt of the blame when the Catfood Commission recommendations are passed), or he's not responsible and can avoid the blame for the Catfood Commission. But then he can't claim credit for all the stuff listed on that website.

Which one is it?

edit: spelling of the website.

2. Holding two conflicting concepts at a time is called cognitive dissonance.
Which seems to be quite rampant these days.

3. I did not realize that the Catfood Commission
had passed any recommendations. It is my understanding that they can't get 14 commissioners to agree on much of anything.

4. "*when* the Catfood Commission recommendations are passed."
And they will pass quite a few. Does Obama get blamed for that, or Nancy?

5. The report the President hasn't endorsed yet?
When and where did he say "look! This is what we're gonna do!"

(hint: He didn't)

6. He did warn us we had to be prepared for tough choices.
"we," of course being progressives who don't want our SS money stolen for the wealthy.

10. That was very clear to me, too.
"We're going to do some or all of this stuff and no one's going to like it. But we have to make 'tough choices.'"

9. He appointed the chairs - he has to know what they would recommend.
Unless he's stupid or something. *I* knew what they would recommend as soon as I saw the names.

7. Bottom line for me is Obama created the CFC & it's on him whatever they do.
Nancy wouldn't have to worry about defeating the austerity program if he hadn't created the commission and appointed a couple of heartless millionaires to decide how long people should be able to work and how little money they should be able to scrape by on.

12. Unrec. You can't have it both ways either

15. The choice is Obama taking blame or Pelosi taking blame.
Do try to keep up.

17. You're missing the point
Is there a single instance where Obama isn't blamed for everything including things he's not directly responsible for? You may have had a point if you didn't bash him from the very beginning, but right now it sounds hilarious.

18. Make your own OP about that.
This one is about the attempt by some to create a scapegoat out of Nancy Pelosi for the outcome of the Catfood Commission recommendations.
