Obama probably feels Boehner is ready to cave now.

If he was meeting with Ted Cruz and Rand Paul and Mike Lee, I might be impressed.

The Original Boston Tea Party had the slogan: “NO TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION !”

Back then in the 1700’s the Colonists did not like Tyranny, and eventually went to War to rid themselves of it.

Today, low-information people, and their “Mainstream” Media’s attitude is: “Tyranny? Is that like “bad” or something?”

High-information people realize that we have had Tyranny imposed on us by our own NINE SUPREMES when they told us that ANY Administration can force us to buy anything they want us to buy as long as it is called a MANDATORY TAX.

The Obama Administration then decreed that the IRS would gather our personal medical information, administer and collect this MANDATORY TAX from us, and or punish us as they saw fit: WITHOUT CONGRESSIONAL REVIEW.

A simple annual, or quarterly increase in the Insurance Premium is all that is needed to increase taxation by the Obama Administration that is not subject to the Constitutional “Advice and Consent” of the United States Congress.

To this point in time, the Obama Administration has been successful in depriving us of Representation in Congress while imposing a mandatory insurance tax on us.

The Obama Administration may call it “Forced Marketing,” but I call it TRYANY !

MANDATORY PURCHASE OF OBAMACARE MEDICAL INSURANCE IS “TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION !”

Didn’t the GOP request a conference committee? The GOP needs to refuse to meet with 0bama. He’s playing games, as usual.

Make him publicly promise to negotiate before you meet or no meeting. Demand an apology for saying he wouldn’t negotiate too.

If I were one of the Rep. Leaders I would have said, sure Mr. President we will be glad to meet with you. Being the most transparant Presidentcy ever we will be bringing the Press with us so All American can see and hear what is taking place versus one side or the other’s story afterwards. No Press-No Meeting.

You - you, well, you should just do what I say!

Reid and Pelosi ware saying, Yeah, yeah! and at the same time Boehner and McConnell are exchanging looks and looking a little sheepish, and considering how well Dr. Hojjatoleslam Hassan Rouhani has dissed the Current Occupant now squatting in the White Hut, should they just capitulate right away?

The titular head of the regime now entrenched in the Oval Orifice of the territory once known as “the United States of America” is such a powerful and charismatic individual in person, they just won’t be able to resist.

(OK, most of the preceding was a nuanced satire, but nobody can be subtle any more.)

At the very least, he gets a photo shoot looking like he is really trying to negotiate. At the most, he gets a total cave by Boehner.

Carney just said it;s NOT negotiation. What it is, I missed, as I am watching the House in session.

Perhaps it’s a Wednesday night poker game. Couldn’t possibly be a negotiation because the ONE says he’s not going to negotiate. It’ll be interesting to see what the outcome of this non-negotiation negotiation is.

Thought he drew a Red Line on negotiating with Repubs? Poll numbers must look bad for the Rodeo Clown.

Pray America is Waking Up
