Barack Obama called Saturday for an end to insults and demands in the negotiations over the debt ceiling, after they broke down Friday night.

In his weekly address, ahead of an emergency meeting at the White House Saturday morning, the president said that the government had spent more money than it takes in for year and result was "a lot of debt on our nation's credit card."

This debt would "weaken our economy, cause higher interest rates for families, and force us to scale back things like education and Medicare" unless action was taken, Obama said.

"Now, folks in Washington like to blame one another for this problem," he said. "But the truth is, neither party is blameless. And both parties have a responsibility to do something about it.

"Democrats and Republicans have to work together. It means we need to put aside our differences to do what's right for the country," Obama added.

"We can come together for the good of the country and reach a compromise; we can strengthen our economy and leave for our children a more secure future," he said. "Or we can issue insults and demands and ultimatums at each another, withdraw to our partisan corners, and achieve nothing."

Since Obama wrote the year 2008 in the guest book at Buckingham Palace when he visited the Queen, just send him the 2008 Budget that was already passed by both Houses.

After all, Obama loves a good do over. He gets one just about every day. His proclamations have the lifespan of a Mayfly.
