I see a trend here where the President seems to think his job is to count votes and then try to make a deal Thats what we in legislatures do. Mr. Obamas job is to travel the country, fight for the values that he cares about. – Anthony Weiner
Republicans and Democrats have used accounting gimmicks and competing government analyses to deceive the public into believing that 2 + 2 = 6. If our leaders cannot agree on the numbers, if facts are fictional, how can they possibly have a substantive debate on solutions? – J. C. Watts
