Where is the House on this one?

[Jim Robinson]

"satisfying President Obama’s demand to avoid another showdown over the issue in the heat of the 2012 presidential campaign."

McConnell is an idiot to let Obama off the hook. Working overtime to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

HOLD THE LINE!!

Make the idiot Obama fight for every damn last dollar of Marxist spending right up to election day!!

[Lancey Howard]

Reid added: “I’m glad to see this move toward cooperation and compromise. I hope it bears fruit.”

Well, even without any details this is easy...
If that sick communist piece of sh!+ Reid is encouraged, then I am discouraged.
Kill the deal.

[matthew fuller]

Won’t the house have to approve this?

[Berlin_Freeper]

“last-ditch deal”

The last ditch for Obama to drive America into.

[Lancey Howard]

McConnell delivered a letter to Reid signed by 43 Republicans declaring their opposition to his version of the debt-limit bill. Four Republican senators did not sign the letter: Olympia Snowe and Susan Collins of Maine, Scott Brown of Massachusetts and Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska).

The usual scumbags.

Good Lord. If we need to rely on McConnell, we are done.

[GregoryFul]

What a farce. Republican's give the commie scum another $2.4 trillion to spend without the possibility of checking (2/3's vote of both houses - give me a break!)

A pox on both your houses!

[newzjunkey]

And Reid was out there before the camera with his Hoard of Hoodlums--Mrs. Sourpuss to his right and Lurch prominently featuring in back--flanking and behind him as he said Mitch McConnell refused to speak to anybody on the Democrat side.

Shortly after, we learned from Boehner and McConnell they'd been talking to Obama for an hour!

Now we see McConnell's been talking to Biden!

When is Reid going to TELL THE TRUTH?

There were multiple opportunities in that very press event to call Reid on lies, misstatements and half-truths as they happened. No follow up came. The Reid version became "gospel" and flooded the airwaves.

[xzins]

The democrats need only 25 republicans to pass a bill in the House. If they get cooperation, they could get it to the floor quickly. If they don’t, it could take months, if ever, for it to come to the floor, iirc.

[ballplayer]

So after all of this Odunbo gets to go out and Borrow another 2.4 trillion dollars. Who is going to Loan us another 2.4 trillion? I guess they will go to Bernake and tell him to go into the Basement and turn on the Printing presses to print more worthless paper as we Loan ourselves the money. Nice when you can print your own money.

[org.whodat]

McConnell is not negotiating he is trying to add a pork project and make a little money, that is what he aways does.
