1. makes one wonder what is the real terrorist threat to the well being of our nation nt

[Lint Head]

2. Not one person at this table has asked for the wall street, oil or war criminals

to be prosecuted for the damage they have done to our nation. We live in a country with impotent leaders lorded over corporate fascists.

3. Tragic.

I'm sorry, but I think this 'debt ceiling' controversy has been just devastating for 'establishment' politicians.

I include Democrats and Repuglicans in that category.

I also have a sinking feeling that with a return of recession, the prospects for Pres. Obama's re-election are getting harder and harder ... photos like the one above are going to be the biggest reason.

4. the little foul-mouthed dweeb, Cantor....

very much like the little spoiled-rotten kid at the "children's table" trying desperately to get the adult's attention.

[FSogol]

5. He's the loser trying to get the bartender's attention. "Excuse me, excuse me..."

:shrug:

6. So many cooks....and so little broth for the average American.

Hmmmmm...I wonder if there's a connection.

If you want to get real upset, just imagine how elated the Koch's and their minions are with what has and probably will continue to happen to the people who are stuck in the lower 98% of wealth.

All men and women might be created equal, but it is very good to be king, or queen or even Koch. Remember, we don't mean a damn thing to these people until they are up for re-election.

7. True.

[RT Atlanta]

8. They're all complicit

and now, this "compromise" will be tied to each of them - for worse or better

[disillusioned73]

9. I think of this one...

alone, nobody around to claim responsibility. Just the President, signing and signaling the end to a shameful process that was unnecessary... where is the line to get their token pen??

10. This is the picture I will remember....
