Why is it that we can pass Obamacare on a party line vote, after threats and bribes are made to Democrats, and it is wonderful? Remember, we had to pass it so "we could find out what's in it."

But when a subpoena is issued on a party line vote, it's a partisan attack?

Here's a bit more.

If there were already 85,000 pages turned over on this, i can only imagine how many pages would need to be reviewed by the administration to see if they would need to be turned over. Hundreds of thousands? I mean really. Sounds pretty preposterous, since they've found nothing tangible with the 85,000 pages already turned over. It's a fishing expedition if ever there was one.

Here's another for you:

But somehow, you will make this Bush's fault.

All i'm doing is defending the man from your stupidity.

He's not the anti-christ......You probably think Rush Limbaugh is!

Sorry, been, and still am, out of the country and haven't been checking the boards. Congressional subpoena power over the executive branch is not exactly like a court subpoena. There are very specific procedures for enforcing a subpoena that, at least thus far, the Congress has not initiated. When and if they do -- and they seldom do -- both the House and the Whitehouse will have an opportunity to make their case before a Federal District Court. Until then, this is just political posturing by both sides.

It's interesting, however, that this sort of partisan bickering, political back and forth, is not really reported in the international press. They just report the big picture stuff, which lately is 1) the U.S. is completely dysfunctional, with the blame falling almost exclusively on the Republican refusal to consider anything on the revenue side; 2) and that we don't see to give a shit that Europe is about to start a global financial collapse. Meanwhile, this is what's making news at home. Sort of revealing on why the rest of the world views us the way that they do.

Doove, I don't hate anyone. I despise what this President is trying to do to my country, and I despised what the prior several Presidents have tried to do. But I don't hate Obama. Hell, I don't even hate TTH.



By the way, TTH, I could give a shit less what the Europeans think of us. We broke away from them for a reason.

Well, you may give a shit when our failure to act responsibly it regard to their debt crisis leads them to say, "Fuck it all. If the U.S. isn't going to do their share, let the world economy crash!" I'm moving into more defensive positions with my investments on a daily basis even though I'm out of the U.S. the next few days.

Gawd! Your investments again! Get over yourself. How can we save Europe when we are on the verge of collapse ourselves? Well, protect your investments.

And why are they in trouble? THEY SPEND TOO MUCH!!! And now it is necessary for the uncaring, noncompassionate United States to bail them out? I thought the Obama plan was to make us more like Europe. And guess what? We are in deep trouble. Why are we in deep trouble? WE SPEND TOO MUCH!!

So let's borrow money from China to bail out Europe, and then watch our economy tank as bad or worse than theirs. Good plan.

If we want to help Europe, and the world economy we need to do one thing - STOP SPENDING SO GOD DAMN MUCH MONEY!

I fail to see how we can help anyone get over their debt problem by massively increasing our own uncontrollable debt.
