And I recall the meeting where he very pointedly told Senator McCain, "The election is over".
The House controls spending. That's it. Game, Set, Match.
The very modern notion that the President steers this ship needs to be put aside. Congress passes the legislation, and Congress spends the money. Obama ought to go on vacation for the next two years, because his time is already over. If the Republicans show up for this meeting and DON'T make that clear, then we are all in trouble.
Damn right! Someone needs to fire one across the bow! If none have the cajones to do it, it will deflate a lot of people.
