If you voted for Obama

[Cracker]

And abso-fucking-lutely, absent a real plan to tackle the deficit/debt, the McConnell plan is a political ploy to shove responsibility off on Obama because they can't reach a compromise at this point. The Republican hope being that giving Obama responsibility for raising the debt ceiling (with supposed equal spending cuts that he's supposed to work out in a vaccuum), they can say "we didn't actually VOTE for an increase in the debt ceiling" and then they can go on to eviscerate everything he does from this point on and claim that he's operating on his own. Very convenient heading in to the 2012 election.

The Republicans are throwing in the towel and setting Obama up to take the blame because they can't agree to a deficit/debt package now.

That's why most Democrats are arguiing against the McConnell plan. It's clear political maneuvering.

Obama should have drafted an acceptable plan. He is THE PRESIDENT. He SHOULD take the heat.

What do you think he should be doing? I'm totally missing why you think he's a victim for being forced to do his job...
