It was a mistake to cut the deal in the first place, and this so-called Super Committee would have been more accurately called the Save President Obama's Ass Committee if the son of bitches had any honesty!  It's sole purpose is to give SCoaMF an avenue to a) force tax increases and phony spending cuts that don't kick in till long after (hopefully soon) he is gone and b) necessary cover to once more blame other people for his mess.

Repub's should tell the Dem's to burn in hell and any recommendation coming out of this should be DOA.
