the agreement is CCB
seems mr o has painted himself in a corner
he has to have an increase by aug 2... he’s gone one in CCB but he doesn’t like it
i hope my great grandkids live in the USA and I can tell stories about when we took out County back.
. . . and they were told to bring their knee pads.
I guess Obama will be locking the doors again so the Republicans can’t get in.
Hey, before he was afraid that negotiations over the debt ceiling in an election year could make him look bad. Now that he knows the GOP leadership is so inept as to confirm that he looks good relatively, why shouldn’t he want a replay in 2012?
They should tell obama to ROT IN HELL.
The debt ceiling issue right now has nothing to do with entitlements.
Yes we need to drastically reform entitlements, but his trying to create a “grand bargain” is pure bs.
This latest ‘Insider’ report gives some interesting flavor to Obama’s last meeting with the Congressional Democrats:
Yeah for twinkies and Pot!
You summed it up nicely. LOL
So, the Democrats say Cut Cap & Balance is DOA (which means any Senate Democrats voting not even to bring it up is equivalent of a vote to keep spending). So if they pass something other than Cut Cap & Balance, and send THAT back to the House - then what? If the House stands firm and doesn’t vote on a Senate Gang of 6 plan or anything else, what happens then? Is there no increase in the debt ceiling?
dayum!
this will make a good book some day... i hope
FUBO!!!

“this will make a good book some day... i hope”
If this is what’s really going on behind the scenes, there will be a stampede of tell-all books.
Such arrogance and contemptuousness doesn’t exactly inspire loyalty from those forced to endure it.

“Democratic leaders are meeting with Obama at 2:50 p.m., and the Republicans are slated to go at 5 p.m.”
Then the Republicans will be told what the Dems have decided they are to do and say.
I have always found that fellow’s writing entertaining. Unfortunately, due to his inability to name sources, he needs an addition to all his headlines like to the one that should go above the door of every structure built by an organized religion.
Important If True.
President given briefing by Senate staffer on debt ceiling negotiations. Twice seen rolling eyes and shaking head when Republican positions on subject were mentioned.
–Name deleted- interjected during briefing to convey Senate’s hope that agreement would be made “soon”, as the issue was becoming “politically difficult”. This sentiment was then shared by almost all other members of Congress who were at the table.
Briefing then continued but was cut short by president who then attempted a joke. When staff tried again to continue briefing, president cut them off and instructed them to “Put away the –expletive- paper.” Senator –name withheld- came to staff member’s defense, and leveled direct accusation at president, declaring “White House incompetence” on the debt ceiling issue was putting the party’s chances in 2012 at great risk. President sat silent.
–Name withheld- challenged Senator on accusation of White House incompetence. Declared the president cannot be expected to “babysit” for everyone in Congress. Senator –name withheld- did not back down, threatening to sign off on Republican proposal if White House did not offer up anything “remotely resembling a viable alternative.”
love. it.
They are just drawing short strays to see which one throws the towel in.
