#1 There's big money to be made in these manipulations and guess who will make it. Nothing will happen prior to the market dip and their 'buy orders' are actioned.

#2 Why talk with anyone who lacks integrity?
It's like Lucy and Charlie Brown with the football gig.

#3 "That's the heart of this approach: serious cuts, balanced by some new revenues,"

In other words, redistribution of the redistribution without reducing the size of the engine of redistribution. Or, more of the same.

#4 Obama has gone thru an evolution on this.

In 2009 and early 2010 Obama said, "lets wait for what the deficit commission says"

In late 2010 when the deficit commission reported, Obama said, "we are looking at what they said"

In Feb 2011, he submitted a budget with no cuts and not entitlement reform and no tax reform

In April 2011, he made a speech which mentioned some of these but it didn't have hard numbers

As of yesterday, Obama was clearly willing to make at least some cuts (some gimmicky but some real) and enact some entitlement reforms and some tax reforms.

name one that he has specifically identified. He spouts BS, the press laps it up, and pronounces him as the "adult" and says how much he's compromised. He has not put out a specific plan since his Feb budget went down 0-97 in the Senate

#6 Early this w/end Bammy threw his Democraptic buddies under the bus with his comment about trying to right the wrongs of the previous congress. i think he meant adminstration but the TOTUS fixed it for him.

The fact that the top 4 Congrsscritters are at least trying to wrk together says a lot, and part of that message is that Bammy has to eat at the kiddie table.....
