(Reuters) - Democrats in the House of Representatives might decide not to support a last-minute deal to raise the debt ceiling when they meet on Monday, House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi said on Sunday.

This is a close call. There will have to be Bolshecratic support to pass the house, maybe a majority. DumBO must be able to call it bipartisan to show his great leadership. In the end we take it in the end.

Does this mean that Bonehead will be having one on one meetings again with conservatives to threaten or bribe them to carry water for what has now become a RAT bill?
Bonehead played them once, will he play them again?

Reuters did an outstanding job of doing in depth research to understand some of the reasons the dems may vote it down. (sarcasm off)

I thought twice before doing this. You've got to read this comment on the original article:

It is time for President Obama to show his conviction­s, using his 14th Amendment prerogativ­es. He must show that he uncompromi­singly accepts the debts the U.S. Congress has put us into. Some Republican­s are insisting Pres. Obama has no conviction­s. I hope they are wrong. He will become a hero in all States if he simply takes charge FOR A “CHANGE.” We put Obama in office for “change.” We want a fair tax structure for a change We want peace in the world for a change We want secure banking and financial systems for a change. We want security for our retirement savings for a change. We want private manufactur­ers, farmers, financial institutio­ns and oil corporatio­ns to be self-suppo­rting for a change. We want gov to stop privatizin­g EVERYTHING for a change. We want change in the way political campaigns are run, with honest political leaders telling us the truth and then keeping their promises for a change. We want government in the sunshine for a change. We want new parties to be able to participat­e in the political process for a change. We want consistent rules in the Congress with voting being by simple majority for a change. We want jobs and economic stability for a change. We want a strong, honorable Commander In Chief for a change. We want fair voting procedures for a change.We want corrupt people to be brought to Justice for a change.”

LOL! Don't know where to begin.

You’re saying giving Pelosi face time like it was a bad thing. The more Pelosi, Obama and Reid are out there, the faster they go down.

If anyone has any doubt, that this woman rides a broom, then it should be dispelled by now. She is a fruitcake.
