President Obama is still seeking the largest deficit reduction deal possible as part of a package deal to raise the debt ceiling, he said in a press conference today.
"I continue to push congressional leaders for the largest possible deal," he said from the White House. "It is possible for us to construct a package that would be balanced, share sacrifice [and] would involve both parties taking on their sacred cows."
Mr. Obama would not even entertain the notion of failing to get a deal done before the end of the month.
"We are going to get this done by August 2," he said.
Mr. Obama has been seeking a deal that includes $4 trillion in budget savings over a decade, but House Speaker John Boehner said on Saturday that a mid-size package of reforms -- closer to $2 trillion in savings, with no tax increases -- is the only politically viable solution.

“Pull off the band aid. Eat our peas.”
I see another Whirled Peas prize for The One.
How much more condescending can this asshole be?
Please Pull, Repeat
“Eat our peas” His native cuisine is some monkey meat!
Let them eat peas:
Folklore and Oddities
The French court became so enamored with green peas that in Paris in 1695 it was common practice for aristocratic women to make them a late evening snack between dinner and bedtime. From the court of French King Louis XIV, Madame de Maintenoy wrote to Cardinal de Noailles: “. . . There are some ladies who, having supped, and supped well, take peas at home before going to bed, at the risk of an attack of indigestion. It’s a fashion, a craze!”
Even kings are not immune to overindulgence—some are even well known for their gourmandising. After overindulging in peas, Louis XIV summoned his doctor to offer him relief from indigestion.

when’s the last time The Jeffersons aka Moochie and Metro even ate any peas - figuratively..and literally.
I’m sick of the “if we don’t act, armageddon will happen” political meme. No new taxes. Defaults on the debt. Shut down the govt. We will survive and thrive.
Yes, so arrogant. How did you like the part where he answered Chip Reid’s question about a majority of America not wanting the debt ceiling raised? We are not supposed to worry ourselves about these things. Thats for Congress to figure out. I almost threw up.
I’ll bite. When?
Typical libtard criteria. Why not use the standard of what will actually work?
By which he mean, American taxpayers will be eating peas, but he’ll still be eating arugula.
Hey Obama - eat this.
Snap-pea ice cream-—Mmmmm mmmm mmmm
Did he really say that? Not for us to worry about? WTF!!!
Why that arrogant, elitist, condescending SOB.
Obama: “The lower class will suffer the most” Does he mean those that don’t work? Those that don’t contribute, you know “share the Saccrice” or thos who live off welfare? He certainly can’t be talking about those who pay taxes!
