The strain is showing in his face; not that I delight in his squirming. If he does preside over a default; I think he and Michelle will still head out for Martha’s Vineyard for yet another vacation. - It’s always his way or the highway; it was on Obamacare, looks like on this situation, too. He’s butted up against the Tea Party Republicans and others in Congress who see clearly what they’re up against with him; and they’re not likely to back down. - He seems to want to be a dictator, with absolutely no checks on him. Meantime, we’re up against it. Pray.
With what they/we know now, the Republicans can't back down. It would be criminal. They know that they can't trust him with a dollar. They know he has been blatantly lying and they know that he is merely campaigning and hoping the media will follow his lead and blame the Republicans for what he has done to squeeze the life out of the U.S. economy.
