Oh I get it, where he says “enough!”. I don’t think he believes he can ever say enough. So, the destruction of the dollar is NOT a tax on everyone? hmm.

btw, how many votes does he need? Does he get any affirmative action votes? Like if he gets close he wins? Let’s face it, people have been giving him things his entire life, he is not angry, he is just confused.

“Eric, don’t call my bluff,” the president said, warning Cantor that he would take his case “to the American people.” He told Cantor that no other president — not Ronald Reagan, the president said — would put up with the treatment he was getting from the House majority leader.

(lifted from Politico…)

Somehow, I don’t think Eric Cantor is in Tip O’Neil’s league.

Mew

Eric, don’t call my bluff

What does this mean? That he admits he’s bluffing? Or that he’s never played poker and doesn’t know what he just said?

Save this nation and take down his presidency. We can not afford more debt, more spending or more Obama programs.

Obama is like a perpetual two year old, throwing temper tantrum every time he passes by a toy store and wants something. The GOP elected in 2010 was put in to be the parent. Stop buying him everything he wants, teach him the value of the dollar, that temper tantrums do not work and send him with his dunce cap to the corner.

Sincerely,
America

“Obama lit him up. Cantor sat in stunned silence,” said an official in the meeting. “It was incredible. If the public saw Obama he would win in a landslide.”

The only thing “incredible” is the MSM’s unwavering, knee-pad admiration for The One.

These aren’t the actions of someone who’s sitting in the catbird seat. Obama needs this deal more than Republicans do. 80% of the public doesn’t want the debt limit raised, and so Obama is demanding that both the debt ceiling is raised AND that we raise trillions of dollars in new taxes, or he’s going to “Take his case to the American people.” I’m trembling.

I’m usually a more “establishment” Republicans, but the GOP needs to stay united against the proposition of any tax increases and make Obama give concessions.

DeMint just tweeted the ABC story about BO’s hissy fit.
Somebody is going to have to give…… and I am confident it will not be the GOP re tax hikes.

Because liberals and NPR and MSM people were all really mad which usually means we’re onto something. Now I’m thinking more along the lines of another smoke and mirrors compromise. It doesn’t MATTER that it will be smoke and mirrors. Let’s say for instance it’s a 2 yr phony 2 trillion dollar deal. All you see are headlines that say 2 trillion dollars in savings but it will be completely phony numbers and future promises and fine print everywhere. That I think is the new norm. The Healthcare bill was like this, the CR deal was like this, anything now that involves a lot of money will have all these gotcha fine print phony numbers. Remember most of these people are lawyers.

… he simply picked the wrong week to stop snorting coke.

/Airplane!

I think his anger is misplaced. It is as if he got a glimpse of the future and he saw his presidency going up in smoke. Give Cantor a Bibi Award for getting under Obama’s skin.

Now the president wants to take his case to the American people. The same American people that Obama talks down to and says “is not paying close attention…” Good luck with that. More likely he will take his case to CBSABCNBCNYTWAPO.

Wehall default on debt P&I, withhold SS and close all the parks, pull every single thing the public actually WANTS from the government, but programs?
Those are sacred. We are fully funding with inflation offsets, the EPA, DEC, NEA, CIA, FBI, TSA, Dept. of Homeland Security… Obamacare, and you all can go fish.
So… all we get to keep is the stuff we do not want?
Yep…that’s right. By the way.. the parks are closed…

The veto will show that he is the one being the obstructionist. Of course, I think the Senate will scuttle anything he would veto anyway. Either way, it is the Dems fault.

Then he wouldn’t be so cranky.

Actually, it is time that the Republicans called him out as the incompetent street thug he is and announced to the Country that Obama is trying to become an American Hugo Chavez.

because his administration is committed to bringing down this country and plundering it’s wealth through redistribution to the slackers and leechers who ably walk into Social Security offices on a daily basis for their “disability” checks.

I see these people on a daily basis. They and their supporters in government will destroy our country.

This is the hill we must plant our flag on. Boehner MUST NOT BACK DOWN.

…MUST point out to Teh Petulant Won that 47% of Americans pay no Federal income taxes and tell him that if he wants to raise taxes that they know a few million people who can finally get some “skin in the game”.

Obama is unfit to be POTUS.

If so, maybe some actual work might get done. High time for the House GOP to pass it’s own solution now, send it onto the Senate and keep doing so until the send it to POTUS for his threatenend “veto”.

“I will not rest” issues. Looks like he left to rest.

For the most powerful man in the world, President Obama does seem to choose the strangest things to spit the dummy over.

From the other side of the world, it almost looks like he views the democratically-elected representatives of his own American citizens as more of an enemy than America’s (and the rest of the free world’s) *actual* enemies.

It recalls the time where he had his “boot on the throat” of BHP, whilst murmuring apologetic platitudes about Islamic terrorists.

I know he’s in re-election mode and all and probably not “thinking globally,” but does Obama ever stop to think how some of these populist stunts look to America’s traditional allies?

He said if Obama blackmails him and 40 million other people he will lead the charge to the White House with his pitch fork…..

He says to hell with Obama. He can survive a year without SS checks but won’t survive if Obama hangs around until 2016 …. and beyond.

He is laughing his backside off. True, Obama will be built up to be the greatest ever over time, but he has no abilities in the political arena.

Unfortunately, the GOP, America, the world and even democrats has to live with him. It’s no wonder many arab countries have seen enough, I have had enough; but I know there’s at least 2 more years of pain and more of his lingering policies.

…tax increases IF there were no increase in spending. All tax receipts must be applied to the debt. But we all know, hence this battle, that the politicians have NO discipline and self control when it comes to our money.

The wheels have really come off of the BO bus this time.

Stephen Colbert (during an interview, about conservative reaction to McConnell):
“I tried to go on RedState and my computer exploded.”

unrelated to this post, but I’ve never figured out how to get a pic on my diary.

I have a diary that I want to post and want to add a pic that would really help make the point. I saved it on flickr and tried to “Press This” all I get is a link towards the flickr, not the actual photo on the diary. What am I doing wrong?

I also tried at HTML to click on img and enter link and description and only description was visible……

I’ve been trying to figure this out since I’ve joined and just can’t get it.

any assistance is greatly appreciated!!

That’s what you do with thin-skinned empty suits.

Come out with an ad in the morning…

President Obama has already shown he’s willing to play politics with the debt ceiling….

“The fact that we’re here today to debate raising America’s debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. Leadership means ‘The buck stops here.’ Instead, Washington is shifting the burden of bad choices today onto the backs of our children and grandchildren. America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership. Americans deserve better. I therefore intend to oppose the effort to increase America’s debt limit.”

His spokesman said the president was just trying to “make a point” when then Senator Obama made that speech.

Thursday, President Obama said, “I can not guarantee those checks go out on August 3rd if we haven’t resolved this issue because there may simply not be the money in the coffers to do it.”

Barack Obama – playing politics with the debt ceiling again.

It’s always about him.

I think he’s using gray hair dye to make it look like he’s actually working and stressed out. Watch his next campaign junket. His hair will be black again.

She said the Republicans were the ones acting like “spoiled children,” and I couldn’t help but laugh again when she added that “Democrats need to put their ‘sacred cows’ on the table.”

Voters need to hear a lot more of her before the next election.

Or maybe he means it’s now just waiting for the dramatic, final, and extremely large explosion after colliding with the earth; the kind of going out with a “bang” that only happens in Hollywood – until now.

But maybe that’s why he’s not worried about who gets paid and who doesn’t – because he sees the writing on the wall for 2012. And of course his being where he is has never had anything to do with anyone but himself, same with the majority of Democratic leadership. But there’s always a silver lining somewhere, and maybe something like a default out in the open, rather than rounds of QE to infinity, will finally bring some market discipline to bear on the government’s borrowing apparatus, and people might think twice before buying anymore of its debt.

It’s even close to being the best way to abridge the ever expaning power of government, that’s made possible in large part thorough its power to borrow, but it may just be one of the only ways.

I DON’T BELIEVE THE PRESIDENTIAL BLUSTER.

HE IS FAKING ANGER TO SHOW HIS BASE THAT HE IS IN CHARGE.

OBAMA AND HIS DEM.TEAM ARE NOT STUPID. HE KNOWS WHAT THE AMERICANS WILL DO IN A CRISIS,,,THEY WILL YIELD.

HE HAS ALREADY TRIED THE LIE OF CUTTING OFF SOCIAL SECUTIRY CHECKS, VET’S BENEFITS, AND OTHER MONTYLY
CHECKS FROM THE GOVERNMENT. YOU KNOW IT’S A LIE,,BUT
HOW MANY AMERICANS REALLY BELIEVE HIS LIE. AND WILL CALL THEIR CONGRESSMAN TO DEMAND ACTION.

OF COURSE HE HAS THE POWER TO STOP THIS,,,BUT HE WANT’S THE DEBT LIMIT INCREASED AND WILL DO ANYTHING TO MAKE IT HAPPEN,, INCLUDING LIEING TO THE AMERICAN PUBLIC.

BEWARE HIS TACIC AND EVILNESS.

Peace, be still.

Mr. President…….Pride and Narcissism goeth before a fall!! Obviously, you’ve never heard this.

For the first time in his presidency he’s having to spend some time working and making decisions that will effect him directly. He’s ticked because he can’t leave town to make another speech, can’t go on one of his lavish vacations, can’t play golf, can’t play basketball, or the other fun things he’s done while he’s driven our country into bankruptcy. It’s time for the Republicans to stand up and take the bull by the horns. I would suggest that Mitch McConnell put duct tape on his mouth, and let Eric Cantor and Paul Ryan handle this.

This is scary s—. One thing to be a child, one to be stupid, one to be unbalanced, and one to be a socialist gangster. But to be all four?
How does Baby Barack look to the media who invented him now?

There is a 1970s Budget Act that specifies the budget and debt schedule that so far o and ilk have ignored for up to 2 years, as the Sen. has passed no budget since 09.

It is the 1974 Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control Act that regulates payment priorities and revenue appropriations.

o has ignored the Defense of Marriage Act and devising a real detailed budget proposal, but if he threatens the entire US with default and international monetary disaster, even though I thought Clinton’s impeachment was a terrible was of time and distraction, the House should start impeachment procedures, because no president should be able to play with this nation’s financial reputation to boost his personal bids for power.

” Woe to you, O land, when your king is a child,
and your princes feast in the morning! “

We cannot trust a boy who cannot control his actions.
And to to walk out on a very serious talk about the debt limit because he’s no getting his way, kick a door open shows just how unqualified this boy is to be president of the United States of America.

Senor citizens in Florida are blaming him, not a Congress on his remark about stopping social security benefits to them.
He will lose a lot of us seniors in the 2012 election.
It’s time to balance the budget, stop spending, and cut out all the crap and lying.
From two senior citizens in Florida and a 9-12 Tea Party Member,,
among many and growing.

It now seems immature to us,
Those scenes we used to play,
To intimidate our folks and friends
And have our selfish way.
The tantrums thrown, the stomping feet
And hurtful words displayed
Or slamming doors and threats to leave
If the game’s not played our way.

Most matured with common sense
To know what’s bad and good,
While some did not, and chose instead,
A second childhood.
These resurrected juveniles,
Reliving childhood tricks,
Are firmly placed in unions and
Entrenched in politics.

a clear sign of weakness. His behavior reinforces the fact that he is a spoiled, entitled man who is bent on wielding the power of the Presidency (often times beyond the bounds set forth in the Constitution) without the responsibility of the office.

He cannot even articulate what principle he is willing to “risk his presidency” on. He has no position, other than to continue to spend us into oblivion, further ruin the economy, and increase the scope and power of the federal government. He is weak and vulnerable.

Conservatives have the upper hand a clear set of principles to hold the line on. It is time to stand firm.
