President Barack Obama abruptly walked out of a stormy debt-limit meeting with congressional leaders Wednesday, a dramatic setback to the already shaky negotiations, according to GOP sources.
He shoved back and said Ill see you tomorrow and walked out, House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.) told reporters in the Capitol after the meeting...
Eric, dont call my bluff, the president said, warning Cantor

Obama could end this right now by saying “raise the debt ceiling and I will resign”

I am concerned that there are signs of a dangerous instability in Mr. Obama.
Mr. Obama should clarify that he is not threatening Mr. Cantor or other Republicans with violence.

Palin said it best tonight on Greta: Don’t retreat, Re load.
Obama going to call his bluff....let’s look at the table, he has a 2 clubs, 5 dimonds, 10 hearts and queen of spades showing in five card stud.
Conservatives have an ace of spades, king of spades, ace of hearts and king of dimonds showing.
Obama says don’t call my bluff....go ahead, make our day, but don’t call it, RAISE it. Say the deal for a dollar for dollar raise in the ceiling for each dollar cut is now off the table....1 dollar raise for every 5 dollars in cuts in the 2012 budget, agreed and passed with no veto.

Republicans, bring him a pack of cigarettes to the next meeting. Lay them out on the table with matches, and tell him you do not care if he lights up. This way he won't have to leave the meeting, and you all do not care if he ‘smokes’.
Obama to Cantor -- "Eric, Dont Call My Bluff"
Cantor to Obama -- "Not at all, Mister President. You keep on bluffing. America expects nothing else from you."

So...he disclosed that he’s BLUFFING?
Doesn’t this invite overwhelming attack?
This is such a stupid line, it’s straight from John Candy’s role in the army spoof movie, “Stripes” with Bill Murray, 25 years back.

Call it. Obama is in a full blackmail mode. This president should be impeached, never mind negotiated with in such a manner. Call his bluff.

He is unstable but he is to smart to make direct threaats. His cronies are another story.
I just wish they would impeach this failure.

If Obama was serious about resolving this crisis and a half dozen others that he has created, he would resign.

Obama put the Social Security card on the table and McConnell folded. The House should put Welfare and Food Stamps and Unemployment on the table and give his base a choice between those programs and the EPA and Obamacare. There is not enough money for both.

Ubama admits he's bluffing.
The Republicans won, so it's time for them to surrender.

I agree, I think O’bama is unstable. The look I’ve seen in his eyes on occasion is down right scary.
