Carney. <br /><br />Check out this quote from Carney, who is supposed to be defending President Obama:<br /><br />“Well, the White House doesn’t create jobs,” Carney said. “The government together — the White House, Congress — creates policies that allow for greater job creation.”<br /><br />Ooops! I think Mr. Carney might be in a little hot water with the Dear Leader over that one.<br /><br />Here's site:<br />http://www.businessinsider.com/white-house-we-dont-create-jobs-2011-8?op=1Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8549971354391868786.post-3097940058419523582011-08-05T22:56:05.580-04:002011-08-05T22:56:05.580-04:00Donald in Bethel, CT says:

In fact, the whole "debt ceiling" thing is a joke. If only we ordinary people had the power to impose our own "debt ceiling!" What a joke! If I owed or promised you money, how would you feel about that?<br /><br />What a stupid joke.<br /><br />Les, Obama inherited this mess. Don't pretend otherwise. And the only people he has with him to deal with the economic mess he INHERITED are the SAME BUNCH OF CROOKED SHMUCKS THAT ALWAYS WORKED WITH GOP ADMINISTRATIONS - EVERY ONE OF THEM.<br /><br />We can't undo the damage by ignoring it (the libertarian way), we can't do it by trusting one party or another (the idiot partisan way), and we most certainly can't get truly liberal or progressive policies in place (Americans are morons), but we can do this: STOP WASTING TIME ON THIS STUPID BLAME GAME.<br /><br />JMJJersey McJoneshttp://jerseymcjones.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8549971354391868786.post-73033866328817624592011-08-05T15:20:04.491-04:002011-08-05T15:20:04.491-04:00It was a huge victory for the Cloward and Piven st...It was a huge victory for the Cloward and Piven strategy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8549971354391868786.post-4546505683719485052011-08-05T09:46:54.234-04:002011-08-05T09:46:54.234-04:00Yeah.
