"""Mr. Obama repeatedly lost patience with the speaker as negotiations faltered..."""

Obama can't seem to understand that some congressmen will not break their promises to constituents for any reason...surely Speaker Boehner respects that and has tried to convey to Barry O. that bullying him is not the way to go....I urge the Congress to stand firm with their promises rather than appease this "my way or the high way" president...Arrogant little community organizer ain't he...

...talks to secure a big deficit-reduction deal had already broken down ...

I like to think my self reasonably well informed so imagine my surprise to read that there was a "big deficit-reduction deal" being discussed. All I knew of was a symbolic screw the rich and a the perpetual spend the country to oblivion talks. Where were these talks and who was involved? Did Obama know they were happening? Did Boehner shut them down? Inquiring minds want to know.

So, WSJ says that it’s all Boner’s fault for not forcing Obama’s destructive wishes down the throats of congress.

Well, I’ll agree that a lot of this mess is Boner’s fault, but not quite the way this article puts it. Rather the reverse, in fact.

But . . . let’s not spoil Obama’s vacation by bothering him with phone calls or anything! First things first!

"You get nothing," the president said. "I get that for free."

You get that, America. No matter what you have your ass is destroyed and we have won. All hail, communists America. I am your leader.

Now just wail and cry. I'll laugh all the way to the bank with trillions to play and buy the rest of America.

Regret throwing Romney in the drink yet? America lost it.

Ladies and Gentlemen; let us pause for a moment to consider the FACT that President Pee Wee and the rest of our federal government (except for the really essential government workers) will not be at their jobs and somehow, miraculously, the country won’t fall apart! Thank-you President Pee Wee for giving your supporters four days off. Could you make it more....and without pay?

Push socialists/totalitarians over the cliff.

“Do not listen to this sophistry by vested interests. The acceptance of these arguments will build legal plunder into a whole system. In fact, this has already occurred. The present-day delusion is an attempt to enrich everyone at the expense of everyone else; to make plunder universal under the pretense of organizing it.” - Bastiat

DEFUND their collectives. DEPOPULATE from every body politic in the country. This is a socialist-induced fiasco.

We have the template to rebuild...

http://www.archives.gov/exhibits/charters/constitution_transcript.html

” —That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. “

anyone who criticizes Boehner for not being able to make a deal with (appease) barry has not lived with and tried to bargain with a spoiled pampered petulant 14 year old

Now imagine one as president of the US

If the GOP leader can’t get his people to vote for tax increases for earnings > $1 million how can anyone expect an agreement for tax increases for earnings < $1 million?

“Mr. Boehner’s inability to coax his rank-and-file to support a deal that raises taxes “

Make him swim in ice water naked for his idiocy.
Make him stay in until he truly repents.
Then make him stay in there to make it a solid sure and certain repentence.

"I put $800 billion [in tax revenue] on the table. What do I get for that?"

"You get nothing," the president said. "I get that for free."

This actually makes perfect sense.
Ubama, after all, was elected and re-elected primarily by lazy moochers. And Ubama is the king of the moochers. So while the bums, deadbeats, and parasites who comprise the Democrat party base settle for "free" food stamps, welfare, SSDI, SSI, Section 8 housing, WIC, cellphones, etc., Ubama, king of the moochers, shouldn't have to settle for less than $800 billion... "for free", should he? I mean, he's king of the moochers, after all.

Ironically, going over the fiscal cliff may be the one thing that keeps us from getting a second credit downgrade.

So far, neither Plan A or Plan B show any meaningful spending cuts that would give any rating agency cause for thinking we’ve learned how to deal with gubmint’s profligate ways.

And if a plan emerges that is more of the same...or they push some type of continuing resolution, I can almsot predict a second downgrade could hit before inauguration day.

RE : [snip] At one point, according to notes taken by a participant, Mr. Boehner told the president, “I put $800 billion [in tax revenue] on the table. What do I get for that?” “You get nothing,” the president said. “I get that for free.”

That is how the game is played to win,

Obama gets on TV everyday playing to voters on how he is doing everything humanly possible to get a deal because it is so critical to save the American people while telling Bohner in private to go to hell .

Then next year after all the tax rates go up Obama gets on TV again and proposes a middle class tax cut(and he will call it ‘tax relief’), up to income earned of $200/250K , sound familiar? (and he demands that the house increase the debt limit, unemployment comp, FICA, ertc)

Then what can Bohner say on TV?

“No tax cut because I am against that” ?
Or “No tax cut because that is not big enough” ?
Or “No tax cut because you left out the ......aires” ?

I think no one will be beggin for THAT job.

This reminds me of near the end of the God-Father in Las Vegas Michael Corleone says to Moe Green : “You get nothing. You will even pay for my gaming license fee”

Obama can't seem to understand

that he is not King. He is not an Emperor. Every one of the people he is not negotiating with, also won an election.

Obama never had any intention of reaching any agreement. While Boehner may not have been the best negotiator in the world, it didn’t matter. Obama wouldn’t have budged no matter what. And now, of course, he’s blaming the GOP for even having offered a program.

Not yet, you don't you paper-hanging Marxist SOB. And hopefully you never will.

“You get nothing. I get that for free.”

End of discussion. Boehner should put every GOP congressman in front of a microphone to repeat that quote, then have each walk away. This is the message to whomever will listen that there is no negotiating with the Marxist. Over the cliff we go.
