Rep. Mark Kirk
 

...goes to China and proceeds to tell them not to trust our budget. Now why on earth would a JUNIOR congressman tell our biggest debt holder something like that when we are in the middle of a recovery from the worst recession since WWII? Good grief! :headshake

So if China decides all of sudden not to buy any more bonds and our economy goes back into a tailspin, we can blame that guy.

*shakes head* beggars belief.

Perhaps because based upon his information he believes it to be the truth?

He should not have done it. He is risking a lot by those actions. He is risking the safety and economic health of this country.

But honestly, the way so many republicans have come out and said they want Obama to fail, it really isn't surprising. I mean anything to help that cause along...

It does seem very irresponsible.

Make a list of all those "so many republicans" please.

When Rush Limbaugh made his speech at CPAC saying he wanted Obama to fail, he got a standing ovation. And no one in the party has stood up to him and told him he shouldn't say that. In fact, everyone who tried has ended up apologizing to him. Bobby Jindal also said it's OK for republicans to want Obama to fail.

Fist few pages of a Google search:
Rush Limbaugh
Bobby Jindal
Michael Steele
Fred Thompson
Anyone with one of these.

Whoopdee fuckin dooo thats real credible.

Thats pretty weak. I expect a lot more from you too.

Seems pretty credible to me classic.

Should I be surprised at that. ya commie tart.

*grins* sticks and stones may break my bones, but come the revolution you're first against the wall mate :P

Actually, what is credible? That 1/2 of those listed were false or that one of his examples is a radio talk show blowhard who'd say anything for ratings?

Anyway....

Perhaps we should be more worried about the truth in what he said.

Oh that surely is a worry. But I still think talking your own country's finances down to China is a bit of an own goal.

on the other hand, one could call that honesty and transparency too (sarc)
