Why did congress not extend social benefits? Keeping it extended adds so little to the debt it hardly makes a difference. Not even a quarter of a percentage point.

Bill Clinton made a statement in the Financial Times that Obama needs a terrorist attack to help his approval ratings. Not sure if he was just joking around, but that's a pretty scary ass thing to say. Hoping to benefit from a massive attack to save a political race? One Republican media outlet even said that there will be a terrorist threat in October to try and rouse the Democratic party and further galvanize the Tea Party movement. They make mention of Obama fucking up the oil spill, which is just completely wrong. His response was tempered and accommodating resolution not sensationalizing disaster.
Guess we'll see what happens. I'm guessing nothing. Hoping nothing. Disaster does seem to creep up just before election through happenstance, though. (I'm looking at you BP)
I wish he would just tell people to fuck off.
everyone gets upset about everything
Seriously. Who cares what Clinton said. Stop being such a pussy
Why not? It worked great for Republicans from 2001-2004. Bush was well on his way to being a nobody one-termer until 9/11/01. But once the GOP was able to tie voting Democratic to funding terrorist camps in Pakistan, they cleaned up.Quote:

You sound like some crazy asshole calling into Michael Savage.
Bill Clinton is not going to cause/fund/create a terrorist attack, you retard.
I didn't say he was (I have no idea who Michael Savage is). I said it was an odd thing to say that Obama needs a terror attack to boost his ratings. Because, you know, there are other ways of doing that. You're making a massive sweeping jump in logic beyond what I said. I even noted how ridiculous that Republican journalist was being in my first post. Learn 2 Read.
