I think you are right. I think this guy is mad as a hatter. It is all about HIM, what HE wants, HIS vision for America and to hell with anything else. I will not be surprised to see his bluff being to go nuclear in some way that hurts as many of those he considers to be his enemies as he can.

Recall what one writer said the other day? That obastard makes Nixon look like a piker when it comes to holding a grudge? If the “American people” don’t come to his rescue watch out, because they will truly become his enemies.

Am I being paranoid? Maybe. If the House stands firm, we’ll see. If the don’t stand firm and win this one they are the enemies and HE, obastard, will get even.

The House better understand that they have hold of a snake and if they ever let go he is going to nail them.

Uh, yea.

This guy really ain’t that smart. The whole point of bluffing is to not let the other guy know you’re bluffing.

Epic poker fail.

” Sure, he’s the one holding up granny’s SS check so go ahead, big boy, don’t send out the checks. I dare you! Maybe then the sheeple will wake up to what this administration is up to.”

We have to see it as it is, not as we want it to be.

No, the sheeple will swallow BHO’s propaganda and they will blame the evil Republicans. MOST people don’t have a clue that, in fact, it will be BHO’s choice of what cuts will be made if the debt ceiling isn’t raised. Even one Freeper on another thread got on my case because he didn’t realize that BHO will hold the authority to make cuts where he wants to - so imagine the ignorance of much of the public. No, I’m afraid they’ll sympathize with BHO as the victim and blame the “radical” R’s in Congress. He’s a master at spin.

If Ubama actually said this, then that would rank as the most arrogant and self-defeating proclamation ever made by a president. How could the Republicans now be expected to do anything BUT call his bluff? Anything short of “calling his bluff” would make the Republicans look like losers and weaklings. It would be party suicide.

Wow.
Every time I think I’ve seen the worst of this foul turd Ubama, he finds a new low.

“The fact that we are here today to debate raising America’s debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the U.S. Government can’t pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government’s reckless fiscal policies. … Increasing America’s debt weakens us domestically and internationally. Leadership means that ‘the buck stops here’. Instead, Washington is shifting the burden of bad choices today onto the backs of our children and grandchildren. America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership. Americans deserve better.” - Senator Barack Hussein Obama, 2006

Yawn...doing nothing is sufficient. No need to call any bluff or to take any action, actually.

Tax revenues will still acrue; DC will still have money to spend (within its means, finally).

If that should happen-—and it won’t— it will give real Americans every right to dispose of him and administration in a way that will get rid of liberals for 100 years.
