GOP leaders ignore Obama’s deadline
The Hill ^ | 7/16/11 | Alexander Bolton

Posted on 07/17/2011 10:11:24 AM PDT by Evil Slayer

House Republican leaders have missed a 36-hour deadline President Obama set during a Thursday meeting for lawmakers to give him a plan to avert a national default.

The deadline came and went Saturday morning without a response from House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio).

Instead, Boehner and House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.) plan to move the Cut, Cap and Balance Act on the floor next week, which would require passage of a balanced budget amendment to the Constitution before the debt limit is raised.

A House GOP leadership aide said at noontime Saturday that Boehner and Cantor did not send Obama a revised proposal to raise the debt-limit, as the president requested.

I think the more this president is ignored the better off the country will be.

Congress doesn’t work for the president.

Deadline, smeadline. The only deadlines he’s that concerned with are his tee times. This is just him stomping his feet and throwing a typical two year old’s tantrum whaaaa! because he didn’t get his way for once.

The GOP should schedule meeting after meeting after meeting with the President. Each meeting should last 4 hours. The reason? This guy says he quit smoking. Everyone knows how irritable a person can get while trying to quit smoking. He will blow eventually and it will drive him nuts.

I believe when the negotiations ended with Barry running out screaming like a 14 year old...which proved he lost the negotiation...they saw how insane and over his head he is/was...they had no choice but to bypass this loony...otherwise, they'd have to either invoke the 25th or start impeachment proceedings...

That is why he keeps throwing tantrums. barry the zero honestly thinks they do.

Someone in congress, in a very public forum, needs to ask the head finger wagger “who in the hell do you think you are?”

The Reps know these “negotiations” are just political theater. Obama is trying to position himself as the deficit hawk after increasing the publicly held debt in 2 1/2 years than Bush did in 8 years. He is a fraud and deserves no respect.

obama thinks congress is part of his staff...just more czars to do his bidding.

How odd...I thought he said he was a "Constitutional professor".

PROFOBAMA

I've seen your analogy on other threads to obama thinking he's a CEO and I agree with your take.

It used to be a rubber stamp Congress for the first two years of his Presidency.

When is HE not planing something for HIMSELF.

You forget it must ALWAY be about HIM.

If you have time to waste listen to any of his speech’s/lies and and most of the words spoken are ME, MY, I, MYSELF and I’ll and it is not MY FAULT.
