He walked out of a meeting with Republican congressional leaders on deficit reduction, telling them "enough was enough".
It was the fourth such meeting in as many days to end fruitlessly, and the president's mounting frustration had been clear.
In a press conference on Monday he ruled out a temporary agreement on raising the US debt limit, insisting "we might as well do it now – pull off the Band-Aid, eat our peas".
"They're in one week and they're out one week," he said, making his irritation plain. "You need to be here. I've been here. I've been doing Afghanistan and bin Laden and the Greek crisis. You stay here. Let's get it done."
Liberals will ask what took him so long. Losing the public option on health care, failing to close Guantánamo, extending Bush tax cuts for the rich – none of this caused the famously cool operator in the White House to lose his rag. He has often been accused of excessive detachment, of failing to empathise with the plight of ordinary Americans.

Poor Bambi — not getting his way. This must be very hard for him....
You've fracked up Afghanistan with your ridiculous ROE, and you came no closer to killing Bin Laden than squealing girlishly in front of a TV. You pathetic waste of space.
A good kick in the ass could help Barack Hussein ObamaSS to come back to reality.
USA is not Indonesia or Kenya , it was used to be a democracy with an opposition....Hope some Republicans will kick him straight
They have been borrowing at a rate unseen in the history of the world and their idea of turning things around is to accelerate the rate of borrowing.
This will end in tears for us all.
Calculated Obama theater... he’s going to take this to the American People? Yet another petulant Obama “big speech” that no one will watch.
The Conservatives need to call him on it. Give him a temporary deal and let him be the bad guy when “grandma doesn’t get her social security check” since he’s the big fear mongerer.
If Bonehead had a brain he would come up with some “Targeted” Tax Hikes. Targeted at rich Liberals.
—— that his presidency might be wrecked by failing to reach a deal——
Can a car that has been totaled be wrecked?
A stark example of an affirmative action life. Has no clue how to handle things when real life bites him in the ass, except to lecture and leave.
“Poor soul, he was just too high strung. I’m afraid the strain was more than he could bear.”
“If Bonehead had a brain he would come up with some “Targeted” Tax Hikes. Targeted at rich Liberals.”
You are absolutely right. That is precisely how to deal with the left.
oBama must have had a “T” time so he had to get going. What a loser!
The reason he walked out is simple. He was continually monopolizing the discussion, as he usually does, and Cantor got frustrated and began interrupting him to get the debate back on track.
The Won got POed and walked out like a petulant child.
It is official from Obama: My administration has been a total bluff.
I have never been more embarrassed of an American president during my years as a voting citizen, which goes back to the Ford-Carter election of 76. And I thought Jimmuh could never be topped.
LOL Great line from a great movie
It seems obamas hypocrisy knows no bounds.
Obama will then have to fight against taxing the rich millionaires who are not paying their fair share. Like trial lawyers. Tax those rich lawyers! Union Bosses TAX THEM! Journolists! Movie Stars. Tax the Hell out of all of them. I could go on.
Eric Cantor to President Barack ‘Ike’ Clanton:
“You tell ‘em I’M coming... and Hell’s coming with me, you hear?! Hell’s coming with me!”
