LIVE BLOG: The Latest on the Debt Negotiations (TOTUS to speak at 10:20AM)
National Journal ^ | 7/29/11 | Ethan Klapper

Posted on 07/29/2011 6:32:45 AM PDT by markomalley

A day after the House postponed its vote on Speaker John Boehner's Budget Control Act, Washington remains at a stalemate. Follow our live blog below for the latest developments.

9:10 a.m. The White House announces that President Obama will deliver a statement at 10:20 a.m.

9:08 a.m. Hotline's Sean Sullivan reports that 22 Republicans are still no votes. He'll be updating the whip count all day, which can be found here.

8:49 a.m. Lawmakers are reacting to last night's events, and we're collecting that reaction here.

8:03 a.m. Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., says Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid’s deficit reduction plan is bad, but Boehner’s is worse in a Wall Street Journal op-ed published today.

The moron in our WH....needs to tell Harry Reid to pass the CCB without any changes. That will solve it all.

this rat is essentially saying, “If I can’t tap the taxpayers pocket for the next 17 months, then let the Country default.”

:: Maybe he’s going to tell Americans that he’s decided to raise the debt ceiling all by himself? ::

That would be the equivalent to King George instituting the “Stamp Act”.

WHo ruined Christmas for most of America while the sneaky, lying, low down dirty dog Dems sat behind locked doors trying to pass the “we have to pass it to see what’s in it” deathcare bill?

Not to mention Big Sis telling us all that it was normal for a kid to try and blow up his fruit of the looms over Detroit, “nothing to see here...move along”.

I wonder if he will go for Reid’s plan 100% or call for taxes again.

WH saying Pres. Obama taking an ‘active role’, making phone calls, etc. FOX now reporting that how ‘active’ he has been is coming into question - asking folks who should have heard from BO & they are saying no phone calls or contact. I guess being ‘active’ means yet another TOTOS press conference & lecture by the Profligate President.
