How can anyone think of Obummer as "soft" on deficit reduction when,
even after his capitulation, he still imposes a wage cut on all
federal employees? Still offers nothing to state and local
governments to prevent teacher firings?
And that same Obugger spoke of his "deal" as a deal with hostage-
takers to prevent injury to the "hostage." There are usually (and
should always be) negotiations with hostage-takers, ending, hopefully,
with release of the hostages and peaceable arrest of the criminals.
But when has a government ever paid $700 billion to the hostage-
takers, given them full immunity, allowed them to retain their loot in
full legality, and not even insisted that they release the hostage?
