I thought us American people were not smart enough to understand all this economy stuff. Why would he come to us? I’m busy eating my peas. Don’t bother me with this politics stuff.

But how does your scenario come to pass since the House is raising Hell with the McConnell plan? Is it all being staged by the GOP?

1st rule of dealing with psychologically fragile, delusional people is not to corner them, but to confront them.

Cantor, Boehner, et al need a great big fat man hug, sloppy kiss, double Rusty Nail or a dinner and weekend at L’Auberge du Soleil in Napa.

Take it to the mat, guys.

It’s not my scenario. McConnell went on the Laura Ingraham show and said exactly what he was going to do and why.

McConnell: “I refuse to help Barack Obama get re-elected”

Thank you for this article link. I’ve remembered it. The Republicans took it down the night of Nov. 4, 2010, after election results.

That’s exactly what he is, a petulant child. And, when he is playing grown up, you can tell he’s emulating ole Stanley. This is what becomes of a child abandoned by his parents at a delicate age.

the Dems have NO other plan..

By George -- I think you've got it! The Dems have never had a plan, except getting the R's to do what they want. It is always the plan and normally the R's do just that. But, some of them had the fear of God put into them last election and are realizing that the country is actually in trouble and they need to stop the madness.

I think it would help if the Republicans actually started getting in front of a microphone and telling the American people that this guy has no plan except raising taxes and then spending that money as well. Can somebody in the Republican party start pointing out daily that the Dems haven't put out a budget for 2 years, whereas the Republicans put together and passed a budget out of the Congress.

We should simply tell Obama that the House will vote on the Obama plan when it is presented.

We should then watch and wait. It would be fun seeing the White House sweat.

it could well blow up in the Dems’ faces..it’s out of control..it has a life of its own now..

I think the McConnell plan has Obama REALLY agitated.

He can't QUITE get a grasp on it...what kind of trap is McConnell springing?

Hehe. Yes, things are getting out of control for poor bambi.

I ask the question again: are the House leaders play-acting that they don’t like the McConnell plan, when in fact that is exactly the strategy they are going to employ?

Are we suggesting that the GOP leadership has its stuff together? I would love to be surprised.

I think that some of them genuinely don't see/know yet what all the details entail.

that the GOP leadership has its stuff together

McConnell and Beohner have a front-row seat to exactly how much pressure Obama is under and what he can/cannot stand. The rest of the members are going on hearsay.

I think the addition of this plan with all its details and how it may/may not corner him might just send Obama around the bend. I for one am entertaining the idea that McConnell is crazy like a fox.

Do we have strategists? Because the strategy now should be BREAK HIM at whatever cost. He's gotta be close, the dude's never worked a full week, never had to face opposition, never had this much pressure and accountability --He's gotta be ready to blow.

I bet we see his handlers get him out of the situation.An impromptu trip or something.

Problem is they're coming up against an Aug 2 deadline.

I'm starting to see Obama morphing into Hitler in those YouTube videos.

“Excessive speculation” has little or nothing to do with this economic disaster. It is almost entirely caused by government.

“Don’t call my bluff. I’m going to the American people on this.” - per Fox.

Hey Obama. Look at the polls. You lost. 75 % of the American people do not want your debt ceiling raised. Get over it. We all know the only reason it needs to be raised now is because of your out of control spending. So yes. Come to us.

The MSM will blame the Republicans no matter what happens.

Raising taxes is off the table. And as long as the GOP hold firm that is a winner.

Obama needs to present $2 Trillion in cuts that have not come so far. There is enough income to the government to service the debt and not default with money left to pay SS.

A complicit media makes the fight uphill for the GOP.
