WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Barack Obama says the debt ceiling should not "be used as a gun against the heads" of Americans to retain breaks for corporate jet owners or oil and gas companies.

Answering questions posed to him on the social Networking site Twitter, the president cast the debate over reducing the deficit in some of the starkest language he has used so far.

"President Barack Obama says the debt ceiling should note "be used as a gun against the heads" of Americans to retain breaks for corporate jet owners"

- And if you do, he will have to tell his supporters to "bring a gun", get in people's faces, and unfortunately... all "enemies" will then have to be "punished"...

Such violent rhetoric! I thought he was preaching an end to such tactics after the Giffords shooting.

Yuppers,

Following his aggressive rhetoric

“Instead, lets kill them through gross mismanagement and debt burden, every man , woman, child, grand child all future generations. Let me create a nation of servitude, a people taxed out of existence, oppressed by their own debt indenture”

Now lets add in his support of the MB and giving Egypt and other nations cash and technologies from America. What a POS.

What is so appallingly painful....what is so incredibly apparent....what is so blindingly obvious....are the arguments the left is going to make against the conservatives.

One should rightly be shocked, disappointed, and deeply saddened by the repub/rino/conserv/tparty "leaders" being unable or unwilling to attack the stain, the regime, and the dem/lib/prog/pop leaders FIRST instead of waiting to be placed in their usual and troubling position of yet again having to defend themselves.

What doubles the pain, is that, at least this time, the repub/rino/conserv/tparty are on the correct side of things.

Could not one of them at least attempt to say - loudly, clearly, and repeatedly, that the dem/lib/prog/pops are using the national debt and the lack of an announced budget as "a gun to the head of Americans and their children and their children's children"?

Yet...all one hears from the "leadership" on the right is whining, whimpering, or dead silence.

I am sick to death of the gop.

I wish one of those gop dopes would utter a phrase to the effect they are not going to let his excellency use a debt bomb to blast the economy to smitherines either.

“We’ve made progress, and I believe that greater progress is within sight, but I don’t want to fool anybody. We still have to work through some real differences,” the president said.

Donchoo worry Barry, you ain’t foolin’ nobody.

Zer0 tries to counter his effete attributes by using masculine language.

He is transparently feminine to most of us. I still can’t figure out what made him win the presidency. There is nothing real about him. He can talk a good game but is so easy to see thru.
