Hilarious scare line from article:

"Federal Reserve Chairman Ben S. Bernanke told the House Financial Services Committee yesterday that failure to raise the debt limit would lead to a “huge financial calamity” that could add to unemployment. Unless the debt ceiling is raised, he said, the economy could be in greater peril than when Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. went bankrupt in September 2008."

I'll take fearmongering for $400, Alex.

So, we have to go further into debt in order to keep from going bankrupt? Or are we going further into debt in order to keep from paying our debt?

Someone please remind Obama that Congress is a co-equal branch of government.

He may extend an invitation but he has no authority to summon anyone anywhere.

You don’t walk out of a meeting and then “summon” the people you walked out on to another meeting. Boehner and the GOP in the House should tell Obozo “Hey, you walked out on us. You want to talk some more, we’ll open Room 6C in the House. Let us know when you get there and we’ll mosey on over when we get a few minutes.”

“he said, the economy ..”

Whose economy? The ones that shoved Vampire-Care down our throats perhaps?

Screw him. Make a circle and play dodge ball with him in the middle as the target, give him a wedgie when he passes by, do everything possible to get his real personality to finally come out and let the little faggot have a tantrum. He's the one that talked tough and had Rahm run around playing tough.

Tell him he didn't show enough respect. You know, "I can't remember the last time you invited me to your house for a cup of coffee, you never wanted my friendship, you were afraid to be in my debt ...", that sort of thing. That'll be enough to light his fuse for sure. Then they should just do what Newt suggested and ignore the guy.

Don't go. This is a tactic to get the House and Senate leaders in a controlled, isolated setting where he can further pressure them. Maybe their rooms and quarters will be bugged, as well. Boehner needs to get out front of this and invite Obama and Reid to the House to be presented with a bill which specifies cuts to go with any deal, instead.

Giving ANY MORE money to these clowns is like giving the 16 year old a bottle of Jack Daniels and the keys to the Corvette.

They should go wearing Winston Churchill T-Shirts that say:

Never, Never, Never, Ever Give Up.

Then make a quick speech on how it isn't going to work and they will not give up on their principles and leave...

Then watch Obama stew in his juices....

( this is really funny if you remember his daddy's anti-colonial bent and "O" giving back the bust of Sir Winston...)

I’m so sick of this...refuse. Why Camp David???? More cloistering, closed door, backroom deals? These aren’t peace talks...and 0bama is no statesman. This is just plain nuts. Put it on C-span or keep it in the Rotunda....no “offsites”.
