Eric, dont call my bluff, the president said, warning Cantor that he would take his case to the American people. He told Cantor that no other president not Ronald Reagan, the president said would put up with the treatment he was getting from the House majority leader.
The latest and sharpest in a series of harsh exchanges between the two leaders heightened concern that markets could crash at any time amid fear of a reduction in the rating on once-ironclad U.S. debt.
Cantor accused the president and congressional Democrats of progressively low-balling, over the last several days, the savings that could be achieved from proposals discussed by Vice President Joe

Go Cantor!
Bitchslap that blue-lipped Kenyan boy.
Extra credit if you make him cry!
Democrat economic policy facilitate doom, that’s why they can’t present it in a stand alone bill.
He’s cracking. He REALLY believes that raising taxes on the rich will spur more job growth and fix the economy. He’s an economic imbecile.
Notice Obama`s concern is not about the end of the world [which he claims we`re on the verge of] but how HE is being treated—you wouldn`t treat Ronald Reagan this way! If I were in that room I`d say, `I knew Ronald Reagan. Ronald Reagan was a president of mine. Barry, you`re no Ronald Reagan.` : ] Unlike RWR this president is always about ME!ME!ME!
He wants to steal more money from the productive class, lets him do it the old fashioned red commie way, at gunpoint.
Mr. 57 states, off teleprompter, just admitted he’s BLUFFing.
The Dems think the president should be a dictator like Mussolini, Hitler, Castro or Stalin. Actually engaging him in two-way discussion in a negotiating session is deemed offensive. The president makes pronouncements and discourses, and everyone else should satisfy themselves with appreciating the wisdom of the dear leader.
Under our constitution, the president is just a citizen (supposedly) serving a temporary term in a government position.
I understand the intent of the remark but does “don’t call my bluff” make any sense when you think about it? If it’s a bluff, it means Obama likely has the worse hand and is trying to move his opponent off a better one. If he’s bluffing with the better hand (as they say), then it really isn’t a bluff. Leave it to Obama to utter something like that and have it be treated by Politico as some sort of profound statement.
I imagine that if one doesn’t interrupt BO then he would never stop rambling with his total BS. Go Cantor. Poor liittle president—doesn’t like to be interrupted. Remember how he treated that reporter from Texas?
“The latest and sharpest in a series of harsh exchanges between the two leaders heightened concern that markets could crash at any time amid fear of a reduction in the rating on once-ironclad U.S. debt.”
Nonsense of the highest order.
What would make investors more nervous—(i) that the congress critters don’t come to an agreement on the debt ceiling, though there will still be plenty of money to service debt payments, or (ii) that the congress critters fail to address the sea of debt we are drowning in that will eventually take everything down?
If the debt payments are made, and there is money to spare to do that whether the debt ceiling is raised or not, there will be no reduction in credit rating. If we don’t deal with our spending crisis, eventually no one will be willing to give us credit.
The article above implies that Obama “owned” Cantor and Cantor just sat there in stunned silence. But Russert’s tweets imply that Obama got heated because Cantor keep interrupting him. Those two takes don’t seem to match up.
Cantor seems to have located Obama’s button and pushed it-it was only a matter of time before someone did. Sounds like Obama lost it and now they’re denying it.
Keep it up, Cantor. Maybe Obama will get so ticked off he’ll just butt out of the process and let Congress handle it.
Hey Barry, America is no longer listening to you.
We really need to disinfect Washington DC.
I'm not so sure about that.
I think the opposite is true...he knows that raising taxes sinks the economy. But, like FDR, he wants to stretch out the pain as long as possible so he can keep growing Gov't bureaucracy.
LOL! Poor widdow bambi, he took his dolls and went home cuz of the mean wepubwicans.
me..me..me, I..I..I.
The guy isn't trying to help the country; he's trying to force his marxist dreams on the United States.
