Update 4: Democratic aides continue to push back against Cantor’s account, telling NBC’s Luke Russert that Cantor was rude at the end of the meeting, and Obama ended it.
“Dem Aide, no walk out: Cantor rudely interrupted POTUS 3 times to advocate for short-term debt ceiling increases while BO was wrapping mtg,” Russert tweeted.
He wants to steal more money from the productive class, lets him do it the old fashioned red commie way, at gunpoint.
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 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 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.
Obama was bogarting the meeting. Somebody had to interrupt.
