At a Business Roundtable meeting today, President Obama warned Republicans to not use the debt ceiling as leverage in talks over spending cuts or entitlement cuts. Obama told business leaders they "should not accept going through" that "game" which would be a "catastrophe" for the country.
"That is a bad strategy for America, it's a bad strategy for your businesses and it's not a game that I will play," Obama said.
"I will not play that game, because we've got to break that habit before it starts," Obama later added.

Not that the Republicans in the house have the ‘nads to do it but I think an appropriate response would be to agree to increase the debt limit the equivalent of one month’s borrowing. When you run through that come back and we’ll talk about extending it another month, and so on and so on. Only each extension would be reduced by 5%.
>>“American” and “around during the 90’s”... 0bama? Maybe not.<<
Maybe not. Even if he was around, communist don’t have any sense of humor. It would have been lost on him.
There are only two solutions left to address the Obama thugocracy. One of them is impeachment.
Fine asshat, don’t play. See how zero spending fits the Zero President.
May he be hale & hearty & personally accountable for what he has done to this country for decades to come.
False choice offered. I wouldn’t take the “other” choice that I’m inferring from your post.
I’d take a secessionist breakup before I’d venture into your other choice.
Of course, impeachment is off the table. 0bama has an impenetrable melanin-based impeachment shield. It’s not happening.
"I WILL NOT PLAY THAT GAME!
Ya know...if it were a Democrat Congress...with Romney as president...the house Dems would be lining up , with bricks in each hand to brick his “nu*s publically all day long on the MSM!!!
The communist dictator has spoken. When does the fun start?
The Dear Leader has no time for work. That is for the 53%.
BOHICA eGOP!
Yassuh, Massa Obama Suh.
You arrogant Mother lover.
If the Republicans had any balls they would let Obama know for sure what he can do with his plan to destroy America.
They will fold like 50 cent card table.
You are so right! An intelligent person would not be so easily led, pushed, and prodded, to say the crap he says. He is somebody’s parrot.........wish we knew whose.
From Zerohedge:
“It really never gets old...
Date: March 16, 2006
Place: Senate Floor
Speech by Sen.Barack Obama:
” 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.
Over the past 5 years, our federal debt has increased by $3.5 trillion to $8.6 trillion.That is “trillion” with a “T.” That is money that we have borrowed from the Social Security trust fund, borrowed from China and Japan, borrowed from American taxpayers. And over the next 5 years, between now and 2011, the President’s budget will increase the debt by almost another $3.5 trillion.
Numbers that large are sometimes hard to understand. Some people may wonder why they matter. Here is why: This year, the Federal Government will spend $220 billion on interest. That is more money to pay interest on our national debt than we’ll spend on Medicaid and the State Children’s Health Insurance Program. That is more money to pay interest on our debt this year than we will spend on education, homeland security, transportation, and veterans benefits combined. It is more money in one year than we are likely to spend to rebuild the devastated gulf coast in a way that honors the best of America.
And the cost of our debt is one of the fastest growing expenses in the Federal budget. This rising debt is a hidden domestic enemy, robbing our cities and States of critical investments in infrastructure like bridges, ports, and levees; robbing our families and our children of critical investments in education and health care reform; robbing our seniors of the retirement and health security they have counted on.
Every dollar we pay in interest is a dollar that is not going to investment in America’s priorities.”
Fast forward to today, when the same senator, now president, is openly threatening with using a veto to impose his will on raising the debt ceiling over that of what, at least according to the Congress, is still the majority of Americans.
So much changes in 6 years indeed...”
Liar, Liar pants on fire.
That IS Obama’s game - 11th hour crisis (every year); expand my debt limit or else! It is the game he and Harry Reid have played for three years and running.
Where’s a House Speaker like Newt when you need one?
FUBO. He does nothing BUT play games, and I mean that figuratively AND literally.
In my view, cooperating with this arrogant ass, in anyway whatsoever, is TREASON.
I don’t care if you’re a Democrat, Republican, RINO, Independent or Conservative, if you cooperate with this worthless bastard, you are a TRAITOR to this once great country.
I do have a question: **WHO in the hell gave the damn order to NOT rescue our men in Benghazi?**
All of us *real* high information voters know that it isn't *taxing* the rich which will only keep the Federal Leviathan running for eight whole days, it is outright confiscation of everything they have (in short 100% taxation) which will keep the beast alive for a week...
