And any hints/talk about Obama invoking the 14th Ammendment was obviously just a bluff...
LOL yeah, that was always a flimsy bluff. If Hussein actually tried that it would be the end of his presidency. He'd lose in court, look like some sort of 3rd world dictator, OWN the debt more than he does now, etc. The Republicans would be able to completely wash their hands of the bad economy and the imminent ratings downgrade.
The whole 14th amendment thing was fantasy from that portion of the left who can't accept they are losing the debate and are determined to avoid ANY cuts in government at all costs.
