White House Press Secretary Jay Carney said President Barack Obama would accept a short-term extension of the debt limit ceiling, if it allowed Congress time to act on a larger deal.
Obama had opposed any short-term debt ceiling deal, though the change in tune reflects the growing realization that a "big deal" the President demands cannot be completed in full by August 2nd.

Isn’t this what Cantor proposed and then Obama walked out?
Nope sorry. No short term deal.

I think you’re right.
I hope they bring that up.
We’ve got to stop playing games with those assholes.

Get Obama out!

Go pound sand!
Can’t wait to upgrade from Obama. He is the worst.
Piss off, Barry. You said you wouldn`t accept a short-term deal. So what changed, punka**???
