Obama has the Gang of Six in his pocket to fall back on. Knowing that is why he upped the ante to Boehner. He KNEW Boehner would have to walk out as Boehner couldn’t possibly agree to anything with MORE tax hikes than had already been publically disclosed.
That’s why Obama already had his 30 minute tirade composed and on the teleprompted an hour after Boehner walked out. It was written the night before.
Obama has played the republicans in the Gang of Six like a finely tuned fiddle. Personally, I think those three ought to be horsewhipped.
But, but, but ... I thought the Republicans were the "Party of No"? How can it be Obama who is saying no? /s See: http://my.democrats.org/page/content/partyofno
Could this be the 0bama personal meltdown? It’s starting to feel like Julius Caesar heading to the Theatre of Pompey.
Obongo wants it HIS way and through the 2012 elections. He’s already in the battle of his life. I say one term for sure, nobody could be stupid enough to vote for that moron twice.
The presidents worried about his next election, but my God, shouldnt we be worried about the country? Boehner said. Im not worried about the next election. I told the president months ago: Forget about the next election!
As I read the Constitution, he recalled telling Obama, the Congress writes the laws and you get to decide what you want to sign.

They all need fired. With the exception of a few our government is a huge ponzi scheme. Until they do away with ObamaCare and the Clinton/Dodd democratic amendments on the CRAct which destroyed our economy as well as stop all the insane spending; we won’t recover.
Another case of "Spontaneous Human Combustion."
This is merely part III of the Obama Destroy America Plan.
Part One - With massive business and banking regulations, make it impossible for businesses to grow and hire new workers.
Part Two - Make government as big as possible and drive this country into debt so large, that it will be impossible to recover.
Part Three - after create a debt problem so large so as not to be able to recover, cut defense spending as a proposed necessary solution. Afterall, he wants to destroy the military, but can only do so by de-funding it. That can only be done with the consent of the governed under the theory that we have no other choice because of mounting debt.
Anyone that thinks Obama's intentions are anything other than to do as much damage to this country as possible, ask yourself this. If, as President, you wanted to destroy this country, what Obama policies would you change?
[crickets chirping] - I thought so...
This is all about ENTITLEMENTS.
Period.
Americans have been conditioned to expect "their" direct deposit.
Look - if you are a disabled military veteran, you are truly deserving.
If your kid has autism, a heart murmur, or sleep apnea - and has been declared "disabled" for the last 10 years collecting SSI for you, then shame on you. That is NOT what this country is about.
If you are an illegal collecting SSI, AFDC, Section 8 Housing, and Medicaid - then Obama and Reid care more about you than they do for an FBI agent risking his life out in the field or a VA doctor trying to rebuild some guy's face that was blown apart in Afghanistan.
Good is now Evil, and Evil is now Good. That is the Democrat way.
Obama, like all Democrats, is counting on the people no paying close attention.
Pass it and let him say no on Aug 2nd.
Interesting if true. I have believed all along that what is being discussed is not the real goal or issue in this whole mess. The point is to force a wedge between the Tea Party and Republicans before 2012. The only thing acceptable to Obama will be a tax increase so that the TP will be furious with Republicans and run some third party candidates. They know that splitting the conservative vote is the ONLY way they can maintain any power after 2012.

GOP aide confirms: Boehner will lay out debt plan to GOP members at 2pm that includes spending caps & balanced budget amendment.
He'll either get the spending increases he wants with little in spending cuts or imaginary cuts - This hurts America, because the spending will be used to get him reelected and to redistribute wealth throughout the world.
Or, he'll take the nation into default, ruining our credit and flat-lining economic growth.
Either way, his objective is fulfilled. To him, it is a win-win situation.
we now have an override option.
