You probably hit it on the head ~ Obama has a way of dealing with Jewish people that ought to have the crowd in New York and Connecticut up in arms.
The fact they're not screaming their heads off about this continuing pattern suggests they just don't get it.
There's a brainblock in there somewhere.

I would like to see the Republicans demand to know what the extra money is for in the budget. Someone should say, “So far, you have used taxpayer funds to shovel guns to Drug Cartels in Mexico, Marxists in Honduras, and God only knows what the Palestinians have done with the money you gave them. How much more money do you intend to shovel to criminals and terrorists Mr. O?”

If there was anything ever so true it is this: O-B-A-M-A ..ONE BIG ASS MISTAKE, AMERICA!Truer words were never spoken! I continue to be dumbfounded as to how Americans could've elected this Kenyan Marxist POS, and the evidence was there if they'd bothered to put down their remotes and find it.

This means Cantor is making headway and Barack is growing frustrated that Cantor and the GOP are calling his bluff — admitting inadvertently that it is a bluff. I love it.

So what TRULY will happen if we default? I would like to know worse case scenarios.

End the talks. Period! We own the House for chrissake! Use it to advantage. Pass a long term deal with 100's of billions in necessary cuts then let the Senate and the WH figure out WTH to do with it!
There will be NO default and the only way SS checks don't go out is if obama tells the treasury not to release the funds. obama OWNS this mess...pass a bill nad make him tale possession!

Good one. I had blanked out on the first incident w/ Bibi.

So what TRULY will happen if we default? I would like to know worse case scenarios. We can't default and won't default. We take in 10 times our debt payment liability every month in tax revenue. TEN TIMES. The only way the US defaults is if obama and Geitner conspire to destroy our economy...but it would be so patently obvious they wouldn't dare.

Bush had one year with a balanced budget, and would have had more, if not for Iraq and Katrina.
AND Pelosi taking over the purse strings in 2007 and 2008.

Eric, dont call my bluff,
Another Obamism from the one’s mouth-he just told the GOP he’s bluffing as far as I am concerned. You don’t tell your opponent not to call your bluff, you don’t want your opponent to know if you’re bluffing or holding a winning hand. Yep, Obama’s a pure genius.

Cantor needs to keep the pressure up. Obama can’t take the stress and he reaches a point that he has to flee. Perhaps on any given day he will literally have a public break down. Obama isn’t a cast iron man, he’s made of cheap steel from China.

The daily talks ended Wednesday with Obama and Cantor clashing, and the president leaving the room. The best part of the story.

It’s reflexive: whatever transgression their side commits they have to immediately accuse our team of doing. I think it is both compulsion and strategy.
To: Linda Frances
That is because he was bold and spoke up to o.
No. 1 the old weasel and Pelosi shouldn't be in government much less debt talks. The weasel is used to beating pubs with a stick. This time the dog bit back and they are aghast. Get used to it, Mr. Weasel, we're back and we're mad as hell!

Cantor should use Obamas OWN WORDS against him: Elections have consequences, WE WON. You are welcome to come along for the ride, but youll have to sit in the back of the bus... As someone noted yesterday, this could cause Obama to be the first person to reach orbit without the aid of a rocket.I really like that!

t The fact that Cantor made Sparky the Empty Suit storm out of the room like the ignorant, pampered and childish a$$ clown he is, proves that he should be there.
Perhaps this is a little bit of IN YOUR FACE for the crap that the House Republicans had to put up with during the OBAMACARE Summit.
Hey Obama and Reid, WE WON so STFU!!

You are soooo right...Joe Scarborough was incredible (for once) on Morning Joe today. He did NOT let up...as all the libs around the table were jumping ugly on every Republican name that came up, Joe said: "Wait a minute...hold on here...[I'm paraphrasing]...name ONE piece of legislation the Democrats have put forth to address this deficit...NAME ONE!"
They sputtered and screamed but Joe won this one. The guy from Politico was the only one who meekly fessed up and said "None."
It was great television.
