So let me get this straight. Zer0 picked up the phone and called Boner to tell him he is not going to negotiate? So dont negotiate. Why bother calling.
I am not a shrink, but I believe this behaviour has something to do with inferiority complexes mixed with narcissism and the compelling need to show that he is relevant.
Like: “Hey cracker, you better listen up. I’m the MAN!”

The President reiterated that it is the constitutional responsibility of the US Congress to pass the nations budget and pay the nations bills.
It is the House's responsibility to determine the bills. Last in, first out when you're short of cash.
You don't just keep borrowing beyond your means.

The house does not need obumber or Reid. All they have to do is sit on their hands, play cards or whatever until the dims beg for money.

And you know they most certainly will.

Soetero's nervous. Why would he call Boehner just to tell him this? If he's confident in his stance, he wouldn't say a thing.

FYI, this is a Photoshop job, but still...

Because he knows Boehner would fold. Only an idiot would negotiate with Boehner.
To: afraidfortherepublic
Well, if Obama won’t negotiate, then let Obama shut the government down.
Who the Hell needs it anyway.
Go to the golf course, Barry.

I wonder what people of Freerepublic would think of the following deal:
1. A continuing resolution for the year that does not fund Obama care.
2. A debt ceiling increase targeted to get the US through the year.

The Bamster is afeared. If you do not plan to negotiate, you do not call you opponent and tell them that you shall not negotiate. This weenie craves attention and is desperate to fell as though he is in control.

I wish he’d call me. I would tell him a few things that perhaps community organizers are not use to hearing.

Boehner is a complete idiot and will get played again. What he needs to do is give interview after interview with the MSM and explain to the American people what needs to be done. Hold the line and make sure you are making your case EVERY DAY in as public a manner as possible. Come across as a reasonable person but make it impossible to be ignored. Don’t whine like a pathetic baby.
Of course Boehner’s public demeanor during any interview is pathetic and unconvincing. He simply doesn’t have the capacity to make a convincing case to anyone. If he had ANY sense of duty he would have resigned years ago.
Here’s the problem John, if you don’t even understand what game is being played it’s pretty damn hard to win.
