Rep John Campbell, CA (R) said "People should be panicking"

[eleny]

He said that to Dana Bash of CNN about the president's proposed budget. The video was just aired.

Hyperbole - their favorite tool.

1. Irresponsible and disgusting.If they cannot help get out of the way!

[KingFlorez]

2. He's obnxious

He was just as annoying when he was in the state assembly and state senate here, just a really bad actor.

3. Professor, would you say this is a good time for our viewers to panic?

Mmm, yes, indeed I would, Kent.

6. when i lived in new york

there was a building which flashed the numbers for the debt -- then it would flash our share. i saw it everyday on my way to work. didn't bother me then. doesn't bother me now.

they also had a "doomsday clock".

:hi:

7. Wasn't the debt sign in Times Square?

I grew up in NYC but left in 1976. I think the sign went up afterward. Or maybe I failed to pay attention! :D

[DesertFlower]

8. no. i think the doomsday clock was in

times square.

i used to see it from avenue of the americas. it was around 39th or 40th streets.

9. Sixth Ave is an odd location

But the Doomsday Clock in Times Square is perfect! :rofl:

12. we were looking at the "doomsday clock"

and our computer got a virus. thank goodness for norton.

13. I'm liking Norton a lot

We just got rid of my old protection software and went with the Norton suite that comes with our Comncast account. A little adjusting and getting used to it. But it's nice having it do it all.

14. When did we all start caring about the deficit?

It surely wasn't an issue in the 80s when Reagan was running up massive numbers.

Wasn't a few years ago, either.

Republicans. :eyes:

[niyad]

10. hey, you cretin, I didn't panic during reagan/bush, I didn't panic on 12/12/2000, I didn't panic on

9/11, I didn't panic during the 8-year national nightmare that was the bush/cheney debacle, I didn't panic when peaceful protestors were being tear-gassed all around me, I didn't panic when I was mugged, I didn't panic during the 10 or so earthquakes I have been through, I didn't panic when a dust devil picked up my car and nearly slammed it into a boulder, so, no, I don't think I will panic over a set of numbers--especially when a creep like you tells me I should.


a most sincere and heartfelt UP YOURS.

11. Only bed-wetters panic.

I swear, those clowns are afraid of everything, and they want us all to be needlessly afraid, too. Bunch of spineless ninnies.

[Avalux]

15. Yeah. What is his definition of "people"?

The top 2% who hold all the wealth? Because yes, they should be panicking and I love it.

[Skittles]

17. FOX viewers

[krabigirl]

16. Man, I can't wait until that snooze is out of office. Creep.
