Yep, we were sold down the river yesterday by our President and even the hard-line Democrats like Nancy Pelosi. A debt ceiling bill was passed, but it's meaningless. Our President gave up his chance for re-election (because we will find someone else to run from the Democratic Party - there must be someone? *looks over at Hilary* And speaking of Hilary? There's no earthly way she'd have allowed this to happen. She'd have headed them off at the pass back in 2010 or sooner and none of this manufactured drama would have occurred. We were given the proverbial shaft and than, this morning, the President gave us platitudes and pretended there was a chance that any kind of bi-partisanship cooperation was still possible.

He was just taken prisoner and he thinks the victors will now...cooperate?

Sorry, President Obama, but in this case, the inmates are definitely running the asylum and you've been rendered powerless and pumped full of Thorazine. But at least, for the next year and a half, you don't have to do anything but enjoy the White House and continue to have your 'doctors' tell you "No," to everything for which you may ask.

So time to look for a new candidate for 2012, someone to run against the Tea Party and WIN - because the truly sad thing is: President Obama has managed to bring slavery back to the US - and he, along with the American people, are the slaves.
