Wow: Obama rejects Boehner’s proposal for short-term debt-ceiling hike

As of an hour ago, Jay Carney had confirmed for the White House press corps that Obama would indeed agree to a short-term hike even if the GOP didn’t end the shutdown and NRO was reporting that more than 150 House Republicans seemed onboard with Paul Ryan’s strategy. The government had taken its first tentative step towards resolving the fiscal standoff; the Dow closed up 300 points on the day because of the news. All was right with the financial world — so much so that this was the front page of CNN.com at around 6:15 p.m. ET, before the latest news broke:

The good news here is that it’ll be much easier to blame Obama for a default now if we hit the debt ceiling.

[Sacajaweau]

Hey Obama....It’s yours now....all of it...

[jimbo123]

BS. Boner, Cantor and Ryan never should have gone around the Tea Party Reps and made the offer to Obama in the first place. They’re retarded if they thought Obama was going to accept it.

[Lazamataz]

We will hit the debt ceiling.

And then Obama will defund EBT Food stamp cards.

And then the cities will explode with violence.

And then Obama will invoke the Emergency Powers Act, dismiss the House and the Senate, and become King for Life of America.

Mark my words.

Obama rejected this, knowing Boner and his establishment ilk, will cave even further. When will Boner finally tell Obama what he can do with his destruction of the American economy?? (don’t put any money on it)

[DJ MacWoW]

Obama asked for it in a speech yesterday. This makes him look really bad. Good!

[Nachum]

Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list

HAhahahahahahahahahaha! funny

[jimbo123]

Obama asked for it in a speech yesterday.

Why in the HELL would Boner give Obama something that he asked for?

[Arm_Bears]

So—Obama prevented the House GOP “leadership” from caving?

[OpusatFR]

Misstep. Big one.

[saganite]

Wrong. After this is properly spun the Republicans will be blamed for failing to negotiate in good faith.

[KC_Lion]

That reminds me so much of this...

And then Obama will defund EBT Food stamp cards.

Those will be the last things defunded. First up will be Social Security (except for disability), Medicare, Veterans' benefits, DOD contracts, etc.

[molson209]

Obama’s next move ,disband congress and take complete control because the country can’t wait

[DJ MacWoW]

Beats me but he did and Obama reneged. Boehner has stated that Obama makes a deal and then reneges. I hope this stiffens Boehners spine and that it makes Obama look even worse.

[yoe]

Call your elected's offices now, especially your Senator regardless of party.....encourage them to stand firm. Boehner made the right move about the debt ceiling...keep De-fund Obamacare on the front burner!

[jimbo123]

Boner hasn’t learned ANYTHING as Speaker. Is he retarded?

[faithhopecharity]

Amazing. He’s really really really trying to destroy this country. But we knew that. Ok Boehner, you tried to dump your political base and cozy up to O again. And look what it got you. Rejected. Completely rejected. So how about coming around to some principles now? Stand up for what’s right and dump obamacare now. Then we will hAve some hope for the economy and jobs. How about it?

[Lazamataz]

Yeah. Freakin’ laugh-riot.
