What "embarrassing" defeat? He's the mother fucking president of the United States.

Seems to me the Republican party has forgotten HE WON THE FUCKING ELECTION.

Either that or Obama has to grow some balls.

Sounds like EVERYONE is going to feel the pain... How unfortunate.

He's really trying all the transparent negotiating tricks in the book...and some new shit too. He should be ashamed of himself and resign. Not even kidding...this guy is a the biggest fuckwad that's ever been in charge of something.

Don't worry he will be gone in 4 years.

This is actually good for the cliff deal to get done quicker. He's lost some serious political face with everything that happened with this Plan B bullshit. Even drafting it in the first place probably looked like joke to some people in his own looney bin. But it was supposed to look like the Republicans were unified with the signing of this. Now they all backed out on him.

Obama has the upper hand even more, but Boehner will continue to act like he runs shit and cover his own ass.

They were on the news talking about how embarrassing this was for Boehner, and his speakership may be at risk.

I think he is talking about Boehner not Obama.

The Republican Party

He's not talking about Obama. :warning

he knew that

Enjoy the dog and pony show.
Watch a deal get done and then Boehner get ousted as speaker to provide political cover for the rest of the GOP with their base.
Then the Republicans will say Boehner should have done better, but its not really his fault... What really caused 'the problem' was lack of support in the last election.

It's the only way to rally their base, make concessions and improve their electoral position.

Obama on the brain huh?

Couldn't be more correct.

Needless wars need to be paid for.

Good, Boehner has to go. Time to get a real conservative in as the speaker. I hope they challenge him on Jan 3rd for the position.

If we do get taken over the cliff by this fucker(and it looks like it'll probably happen), and the economy goes into another tailspin -- the 2014 elections will be even worse than the recent ones.

Yeah, that will really help the repubs in the 2014 mid-terms :1orglaugh

see sig

Fine, then the people get what they want. Right now they got a divided congress. If the majority want something different, then fix it in 2014 and live with what they get.

Until then, its a divided government, and it requires compromise. Once the Senate and President are serious about compromise, make a legit offer, and start the process again.

:1orglaugh

At the same time, you could very, very easily say the same thing about Rep-majority house.

once again, see sig

The republicans have passed two bills on the matter and sent it to the senate, where it has sat. That is up to Senator Reid. But the process by the republicans has been done. Its up to the senate to pass their version, and then go to conference to hash out the two differing bills.

And even still the republicans offered to let the taxes on millionaires rise, but of course was immediately rejected, but not on record by vote in the senate. I'm glad the conservatives put their foot down and stopped negotiating against themselves.

If the senate doesn't want to offer and pass a plan, and would rather let taxes for everyone rise up right now, then so be it. That is the right they have, as provided by the people that voted them in.

And we'll all saddle up for the rodeo in 2014 and see where the people decide to cast their vote, and do it all over again.

So yall are saying since obama won to just roll over? And dems will roll over when the next republican president comes to office? Please..... Checks and balences bitches...

You should have hoped it owuld have passed now it just means that obama must compromise some more or has no chance in hell and the fiscal cliff /sequestration will occur which i think both parties really want to happen since it gives both parties political cover to point fingers...

Yea plan B was essentially just the same bull shit the GOP always tries to pull. They wanted to fund a tax cut for millionaires by kicking people off medicare & food stamps.

No big surprise that the same turd by a different name didn't go over any better than the last time they tried.

I don't think there are any "real" Conservatives left in the Republican party. Even to this day they thinmk Paul Ryan is their new hero and a future Republican leader. They simply haven't learned a damn thing. :disgust

Boehner

I think his last name is really pronounced Boner. Not sure how you get Bae-ner out of that other than to spare the family embarrassment.

:2 cents:

Obama went to 400,00 on the tax rtaise, and the Republicans took that as a sign to make a ridiculous conservative "wish list" and try to hold the middle class hostage with their Plan B.

He needs to be kicked out. He's done nothing but obstruct progress since the day he cried all over his new hammer.

The Republican party -- especially the House -- doesn't even think for themselves anymore. The Conservative movement is driving their votes, so the tail is wagging the dog big time. All of the pressure groups (like the one Dick Armey runs) came out with messages on the web yesterday morning telling congress to vote for Plan B. Then they changed their minds later in the day and told them not to vote for it. Then they went home for the holidays before the president could even talk further to them after their debacle. Congress doesn't know whether to shit or go blind. They're a giant fucking mess. Did you see the video of them walking out of the House floor after failing even to vote for their own stupid plan? They look like a bunch idiots and they should make everyone sick. They're not looking out for you or me, and you can believe that.

Medicare and all your other favorite social handouts are going to take a hit no matter what happens. And it does look like your taxes will go up the same as mine. It's too bad anyone has to pay more tax though.

The left are the ones holding the middle class hostage. Tax cuts should be for everyone or no one and spending cuts all around, military, welfare, government employees etc. Real cuts, not cuts in future increases.

You can not tax your way out of this problem. 100% tax on the 1% will not run the government very long.

is this what society's bottom has been led to believe?

or maybe THIS is what society's bottom has been led to believe?

While you're cheering for your betters taxes to go up so the government can collect about $70 billion a year, the politicians are busy spending $1.2 trillion a year.
Amazing what the underclass thinks of our problem.

12clicks once again calling the kettle black..

In my opinion we SHOULD "go over the cliff"

The "Cliff" is nothing more than the Budget Control Act Of 2011
And it was passed by both Republicans and Democrats and PRAISED by the President at the time.

We need to get this debt under control. And the ONLY way that the defense budget is going to be cut is if they are forced to do it.

Calling it a "fiscal cliff" is just Washington's way of scaring people so they can just keep on spending money (giving it to the companies that support them)

you know, i always thought it was a big troll/joke

but now i am not so sure :1orglaugh

The "embarrassing defeat" is Boner's. He can't get his own party to go along with his plan. He sucks.

Exactly. There's nothing "conservative" about launching needless war, or coming between a woman and her doctor, or telling people who they can or can't marry, or what plants we can grow in our own homes, or weakening the separation of church & state. The GOP isn't full of conservatives. It's full of fucking radicals.

I was unaware that things like Medicare or Social Security were hand outs...

that's really odd.. I thought we all paid into those..

That's like saying if I pay for health insurance and they pay for a hospital bill that I am getting a "gift" or some form of "charity" from them.. lol
