Obama Seeking Emergency Camp David Meeting, Boehner Just Says No
Zero Hedge ^ | 7/14/11 | Tyler Durden

Posted on 07/14/2011 10:00:34 AM PDT by Nachum

In the most dramatic example of someone give the teleprompter the finger on the debt target (f/k/a debt ceiling, in the pre Federal Reserve days), after earlier it was announced that Obama, so willing to continue the charade, was pushing for a Camp David meeting where the debt ceiling issue would be resolved, bunch-of-fat-old-men-locked-up-in-a-room-nobody-leaving-until-solution-is-reached style, Reuters reports that Boehner has politely refused this latest farcical denouement, and told the White House "that he sees no need to move the negotiations on debt and deficits to Camp David." In other news, it is now 7 days and counting until July 22.

From Reuters:

House of Representatives Speaker John Boehner, the top U.S. Republican, has told the White House that he sees no need to move the negotiations on debt and deficits to Camp David.

"The speaker has told the White House he sees no need to go to Camp David this weekend," Boehner spokesman Brendan Buck said on Thursday.

The White House had been weighing the idea of Camp David talks but no decision had been made and White House aides said there were "currently no plans for that."

“has told the White House he sees no need to go to Camp David this weekend,”

Good.

I didn’t think it was possible to surgically implant an entire spinal column into a human being.

Seems to me that ZERO wants to control the message and the only way to do it is sequester everyone....good that the pubbies didn't fall for it. I hope this latest move provides more steel for their (pubbie) backbones.

Someone here posted that Obama would go to the mattresses (mafia term). Camp David was the equivalent.

Obama needs a lot less transparency and far fewer witnesses who may corraborate testimony. You really don't think he plays so much golf by accident do you?

Whitehouse meetings are on record. Deals struck with unions on the back nine are shared between Obama, union heads, and squirrels. The squirrels can't write notes or speak.

I wonder if this really is quite a drama playing out in our time.

Bernyakme is joining in on the scare tactics and trying to TARP this all over again. Imminent collapse and all that. The local financial pundit here in Houston has been trying to make this a case of true default as a result of not raising the debt ceiling. It is a crisis but the company ain’t broke, the company (Federal Govenrment) is going to have to really scale back to satisfy the lending agency... the electorate. Once the company does that the lending agency will provide it room to move and recover... not until.

Yes, indeed it is. There are a slew of new and upcoming surgical procedures that will be used more and more, and the "surgeons" get more and more experienced with these techniques the more they practice them. Some of the new procedures include:

Teapartectomy

Constitutostomy

Freepadural

This is good; there is no reason to make the GOP feel beholden by pretending to be a magnanimous host for a getaway weekend. Sounds like a power move. Jerk.

Anyone remind Obama that we have coequal branches of government? Or was that the part they taught at Occidental College when he flunked out of school, just prior to his genius streak?

I don’t think Boner can refuse. After all wasn’t he “summoned” by Maobama?
