President Obama told lawmakers at Thursday's White House meeting to reach a deal to increase the debt limit that "it's decision time," a Democratic official familiar with the talks told CBS News, and pressed Congressional leaders to go back to their respective caucuses to get a deal done within the next 24 to 36 hours.
Following an acrimonious meeting on Wednesday, in which Mr. Obama and GOP Rep. Eric Cantor has some tense moments, the official said Thursday's meeting was "very cordial" -- though there continued to be no breakthrough. The meeting ran for an hour and 19 minutes, and the official said President Obama told Congressional leaders that they now had all the information they needed -- "in detail" -- to potentially get the deal done.
The Democratic official said Mr. Obama reiterated his opposition to a short-term deal Thursday, saying it could cause a negative reaction in the markets. The official said the president said a $2 trillion deal was possible if all sides would give a little.

Stand strong, Pubbies! Make him call his bluff!

Obama does not want a deal.
Obama wants to create a crisis according to his Saul Alinsky game plan.

The debt star is almost fully operational, and Mr. Emperor expects you to play your roles this one last time. Now GO!!!"

Obama’s biography and his auto-biography are lies. He is not the person he pretends to be.

Howdy Doody is in way over his head. The Lil Dictator is losing it. Come on Cantor, call his bluff and let him hang himself on his own lies.

Here's my plan:
If the nonessential functions of government are shut down for a couple of months that would save about 15 percent of the annual budget. That would include the house and senate and their staffs.
With additional refinements after the first year we can then do it every year until the deficit is brought under control.

Since when does this insipid geek tell Congress what to do? Oh yeah--since Boehner and McConnell crawled on their knees to the White House. F*ing pathetic.

Obamas biography and his auto-biography are lies. He is not the person he pretends to be.I agree that he is a chameleon, but he is still a carefully nurtured and thoroughly capable figurehead for evil people who are - to be blunt - eating our lunch on a regular basis. He isn't omnipotent, but the organization behind him is remarkably effective and deadly serious, while the GOP appears to be - particularly in the senate - a hapless collection of feckless nonentities who appear to actually be grateful for the smallest crumb from the Democrats' table.
