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.

Confucius say: woman who cooks carrots and peas in same pot ... very unsanitary!
President Last Nerve is simply amazing. The only groups he inspires is the cadre of recent social worker graduates, from publicly paid tuition, from state schools, itchin to ride a desk and get paid to issue foodstamps and court ordered paternity tests, and baby momma’s who found their new vocation after going full term in their last semester of high school.

Ok President O, what are you and the rest of the Government class going to sacrifice “for the common good”?
Just who wrote that line? I doubt it was BO.
Might I suggest that Moochie and Metro tell the White House Chef to try this recipe since he should be the first one to eat his peas.

How long until some photoshop expert morphs Obama’s features onto the Jolly Green Giant? (hint, hint)

It sure looks like Captain Zero is TRYING to destroy America’s middle class:
fewer jobs, higher taxes, higher commodity prices, lower home prices etc....
Plus any raise in taxes will be immediate and any cuts will be spread out over 10 years (or more) with most of them being weighted on the tail end, to give the politicians time to scape them before any cuts actually take affect.
barack, eat my....
