===================================================================================================
WHy does Obama and all of his peons continue to insult The Speaker of the House? Do they think this is productive? Are they upset that Boehner is working with the Senate instead of them to develop a plan? How utterly juvenile by this clueless bunch in the Whitehouse. Are these people for real?
what a jerk...quick call someone and complain at the white house
Underheard amid all whispers of default: “Why- hasn’t anyone in the Government considered using ‘The check is in the mail,’ to its full potential?”
Obama is irrelevant. Both parties walked away from him this week.
Just like every other liberal.... The conservatives are irrelevant
The conservatives are just as bad...
Dan Pfeiffer:
"it’s clear that there are lots of reasonable Republicans who do not want to default… who would support an approach like the Reid approach,” Pfeiffer offered. “All they have to be willing to do is compromise one inch. Let’s do the right thing for the country, let’s not play politics.”
You can literally switch every "democrat" with "republican" in that statement and it would be equally true. For a president who said he would govern in a bipartisan fashion, its quite shocking that his communications director would make such a one-sided statement.
At the behest of their extremist Tea Party faction, Republicans refuse to end tax cuts for millionaires and billionaires or ask them to pay their fair shair, all the while demanding that benefits be cut for social security, that isn't even part of the budget, and medicare, benefits Americans have paid into their entire lives. How is that NOT a tax on the middle class and elderly Americans who can least afford it? The Democrats have givenaway the farm and Republicans still refuse to agree to raise the debt ceiling! So why does the corporate media endlessly proclaim that NEITHER party is willing to compromise!
The House of Representatives hold the purse strings of our government and somehow their bill is irrelevant? Perhaps this Obamabot needs to take a course on American government and take Obama and Harry with him!
White House Communications Director gets it WRONG just like everone else in the White House !
When Congress does its job, they don’t need Obama to come up with and pass legislations. Oh; that means Obama is the potted plant in the room.
Perfect! Default is on the way. 14th Amendment will take care of the default. GOP has been using this issue to try to damage the President, but they fail to realize that their position hurts the average American much, much more than it does the president. They have backed themselves into a losing position. Democrats, Republicans, Independents, and I suspect Tea Partiers at the "rubber meets the road level" want a compromise by overwhelming majority. 2012 elections will be the opportunity to get rid of the extremists in congress.
