Hanging marbles is an odd choice for an idiom. Methinks Obama put all his eggs in one basket and now hangs by a thread. Egad! He's losing his marbles. Anyway, fat chance. Surely you have noticed the Tea Party House refuses to pass anything that will help Obama win an election. They know Obama will cave to their demands, which he does quite regularly, either out of weakness or willfulness, I'm not sure which. Now that we have a mandated Super Congress pitting the social safety net, Social Security and Medicare,(which I refuse to call the disparaging term "entitlements") against defense spending, guess who's going to be on the losing end of the deal? Grandma gets dumped on the street in her wheelchair on a cold winter night and both parties, including Obama, will hold themselves blameless. Both parties are competing for the same 2012 corporate money. Since the bankers hate Obama for even hinting at regulations, it appears the corporate money now flows to Rick Perry, God help us. To figure that out, all you have to do is watch the propaganda machine, the mighty Wurlitzer we call "news" who gives Perry all the love and criticizes Obama if he farts crossways. http://www.csmonitor.com/Business/Latest-News-Wires/2011/0820/Bank-of-America-ready-to-help-Rick-Perry-VIDEO
