Question:
Will a budget deadlock, played out over months, doom Obama and assure his defeat in the 2012 election?

A budget deadlock, played out over months, will doom Obama and assure his defeat. But an easily won compromise will help him get re-elected.


If the Republicans hold firm in demanding huge spending cuts and Obama does not give in, the question of whether or not to cut spending will dominate the nation’s political discourse for months on end and will spill over into the 2012 election.

To assure that it will, the Republicans should hold firm to their budget spending cuts without surrender or compromise. If necessary, it is OK to vote a few very short-term continuing resolutions to keep the government open for a few weeks at a time, always keeping on the pressure.

Thanks For The Link

It Is Going To Tough But Not Impossible For Republicans To Make Their Case

Obama Proposed 3.83 Trillion Budget Has The Highest Deficit For A Single Year

The Republicans Are Asking To Lower This Budget By 61 billion or a very modest 1.6 percent

And The White House Is Calling This Exremist

The Republicans needs to make the voting public realize that Obama is not fiscally responsible

The Republicans are the ones who would lose if the government shut down.

Nope.



The reason is ... Republicans LIE ... BIGTIME.



More and more Americans realize this.



Thanks!
