“Dude, DON’T call my bluff..”

[mewzilla]

The bill would undercut the Federal Government’s ability to meet its core commitments to seniors, middle-class families and the most vulnerable, while reducing our ability to invest in our future.

I have one word: Obamacare.

[Mr. K]

GOOD VETO IT~!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I finally agree with Obassturd on something

[Psalm 144]

Fine. Do so. That puts it on him more than the imbecilic McConnell plan pretends to.

[Candor7]

I hope he does veto. It will bring his approval rating down further from “46%” , which is innacurately optomistic, to say about 30% or less. I can live with that until November of 2012.

[Red Badger]

Go ahead.
Make my day.......................

[WayneS]

Okay.

[utahagen]

I actually think McConnell knows exactly what he's doing: offering a psuedo-solution to the problem, but one that he knows Obama won't accept.

I suspect Boehner, Cantor, and McConnell are in close contact and that they are playing this very well.

GOP needs to do a better job of taking the issue to the public - op-eds by Congressional leaders in every major newspaper.
If they won't run 'em - buy space.
Don't make the same mistake W did by ceding the high ground - take control of the narrative - now!

[chris_bdba]

OMG do they even realize what they just said?When 80% of the American public is saying DC is spending too much Obama says he doesn’t care and is going to spend as much as he wants.Talk about stepping in it....

[screaminsunshine]

I won’t make it past the Senate anyway. Just for Imbecile consumption.

[Troublemaker]

For Obama, it’s never been about the debt limit, or, more importantly, reducing the deficit. It’s always been punishing success and redistributing hard earned wealth.

[Danae]

Bawahahahaha! I yeah! Bring it Oblidiot! Ummmm hummmmm I am going all in on this hand, and I CALL. The Oblidiot will FOLD because he has nothing.

COme on Bambi, MAKE MY DAY.

GOP, Pass the darned thing and FORCE the Democrats to own the default, then bludgeon them with it for the next year and a half!

[McGruff]

I don't usually spam the same message but

Increasing America’s debt weakens us domestically and internationally. Leadership means that ‘the buck stops here. Instead, Washington is shifting the burden of bad choices today onto the backs of our children and grandchildren. America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership. Americans deserve better. - Barack Obama(2006)

I don’t trust this President… He doesn’t know how to make those cuts. He’s never had to do this before. He’s always just been one to spend other people’s money even if that money is just borrowed money or printed out of thin air. He’s never had to exercise real executive authority like that. - Sarah Palin (2011)

[EGPWS]

0bama, the POTUS who sent shock waves around the world with a stroke of a pen when he vetoed the only salvation for the great American economy.

His name will live in infamy.

[EGPWS]

Never go out on a limb for anybody that is suicidal! ; )

[cotton1706]

The time has come for the house to exercise its authority over the purse. Just pass what they decide the president will be allowed to spend for the year and be done with it. Then move on to other things. No more meetings, no more deals, etc.

Force the senate to pass or amend the bill and send it back so that there will be somewhere to begin negotiations.

Or if the senate refuses to pass anything, the House should just shrug it’s shoulders. Stop playing the game.

[Bullish]

They don’t have the balls to pass it in the Senate anyway.
