Shut it down if necessary. NO TAX increase, stop spending. Period.

Another “I didn’t have sex with that woman, Ms. Lewinsky:”, meaning of “is” is moment we have become so used to from the Marxists.

and Obama must know that having the president vent publicly about default will not help the situation.

He does, but it makes him feel better while going off the deep end.

He is losing his worshipers by the droves because of this d@mn stubborn Congress! : D

"Obama, 11 a.m.: We won't default. Obama, 6 p.m.: We might default. "

Entirely up to you Pres**ent 0. If current revenues are sufficient to meet current obligations, default does not have to happen . . . unless you chose for your own game-playing purposes to not use current funds to meet current obligations.

This bugger doesn’t know what the hell he’s saying. He lets off with whatever he thinks will get him through the next five minutes.

Defaulting is a choice.

They have the choice of paying for entitlements or servicing the debt.

They will probably choose to default and then play the typical politician blame game.

Then the lemmings on the left will blame the right and the lemmings on the right will blame the left.

The politicians will smile at each other across the aisle as their faux competition will have worked again as they continue their power trip over the American people.

Strange that a man a few days shy of 50 years-old, has rarely heard or learned how to deal with being told “NO”.

It is clear to see that our Rogue government is not sincere in bringing about financial recovery due to the fact that they want to continue to raise the debt ceiling, instead of paying down the debt.
( 2+2=4 , not 5)

Threats are being used not only against the American people, but also those countries from which the United States are indebted to as well. Obummer is essentially telling China, and the other countries, “ hey, if we can’t keep borrowing money from you, then we will default on our loans, or simply print more money and pay you with devaluing currency.” His rhetoric alone about threatening default is absurdly stupid, it’s potential national suicide. Such is the situation we are in.

It they were to raise taxes (or fees, or other tricks), the slowdown will become more severe very quickly. Truly private-sector Americans won’t tolerate more thievery. Federal funding to local governments must be cut, though those are the favorite constituents of Congress.

No executive experience, no political opposition (including McCain), no demonstrated leadership ability.

What a disaster.

BTW, do not be misled. Only Congress can raise spending, and only the House of Representatives can hike taxes on the federal level. At the same time, your local government folks can do both in various ways.

Little correction: only the House can initiate revenue hikes.

Obama:”WE dont default on OUR nation’s debts”

Obama a little later :”REPUBLICANS are going to default on OUR nations’s debts”

You see the WE is for when Obama is taking credit for something, but is used sometimes in a negative context.

Get ANY debt limit increase bill to Obama’s desk and he will sign it. Republicans only need to break 15 Democrat Senators to do that. The debt limit will be increased, one side will cave. It’s a matter of understanding what winning means. Winning is not giving Obama what he originally demanded, then claiming it saved us from something even worse.

He had to wait for the market to close before dropping the ‘default’ word bomb.

By Monday, the Republicans will have suffered the slings and arrows of outrageious demagoguery from the media for three days and public opinion will be set against them (the WH hopes).

Mr. Obama, why don’t you submit a plan?
