During the 2008 Presidential campaign, I sent a text to several friends and family with the not so optimistic content of "We are so f**ked". I did this after seeing then candidate Barack Obama give a speech in which I pretty much saw the ideology above all aspect of his life. Luckily, the Democratic party feels no need to back off from that position.
The "super committee" of Democrats and Republicans that is set to be put in place as a result of the "deficit deal" has its first few appointees. Senate Minority Leader Harry Ried (D. NV) has tapped fellow Democrats John Kerry (Mass.), Max Baucus (Mont.) and Patty Murray (Wash.) to serve on the bipartisan committee ordained to solve the nation's debt issues. Murray is the chair of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee. Kerry was on the Sunday morning political shows claiming the S&P decision was a "Tea Party downgrade" along with every other administration official and is, quite frankly, one of the biggest pieces of crap in Congress (I normally try not to get personal other than the occasional joke, but this man served in Vietnam as a sham and then threw his fellow soldiers overboard), and Baucus...well, why pile on.
There is no guarantee that the Republicans won't mess this up just as badly, but wow, we're off to a start that is rivaled only by Apollo 1.
