Hussein is hell-bent on having a showdown...shutdown.

He doesn't want a resolution to this he wants a calamity he can try to pin on the Republicans. His strategy is Cloward and Piven and his tactics are Saul Alinsky. 0bama is engaging in economic terrorism.

If he makes a speech, you must impeach.

No matter what happens either obama will get the credit or the GOP will get the blame. The republicans should have figured this out long ago. But, bright, doesn’t describe them.

obama has already scared the crap out of boner. Boner is being played like a fiddle.

This sounds off the wall to some, but I honestly believe he was intentionally trying to start a WWIII a few months ago. At one point he was simultaneously at war or bombing Pakistan, Libya, Yemen, Iraq, Afghanistan, while threatening Syria and calling Israel a rogue state. Someone, some where told him to stop it.

But, yes, Zero is determined to crash anything to manufacture a crisis of any kind before election day comes.

Can you see the democrats claiming obama has lost his mind and they want to replace him with Biden? That’s funny.

"Republicans said they would accept a dollar in higher taxes (or “revenue”) for every four dollars in cuts"

Aren't you sweet making deals with my money. Screw you guys.

The power(s) behind 0 said the ‘time’ was ripe.

No other person would have worked so well.

He has been designed to be everything to everyone (won’t go into that long list) and a savior to boot.

He’s also clean. Now who can argue with that.

Fortunately, a million people have awaken to what he is and what he’s doing to achieve their goal before people realized it, but unfortunately it’s a little late.

That’s why they were acting in bullet speed to achieve their goal.

If this was President Bush it would go something like this.

Phone call from the NY Times: “Tomorrow morning our front page is going to read, “President Bush implicated in Project Gunwalker scandal”. “Is there any comment you want to make about raising the debt ceiling?”

"Hussein is hell-bent on having a showdown..."

No, actually he doesn't care about that. He IS hellbent on destroying the economy, Cloward-Piven style. Glen Beck has his number (666).

Demand for American debt is already artificial.

Agreed. But they can't admit that.

This is just more pressure to sign a bad deal. It's just like TARP. "We gotta do it - and we gotta do it NOW - or the world will end! There's no time to let people know what's in the bill - it has to be done NOW!"

The sane ones are definitely now conspiring to ease him out, like they did to Nixon.

Yes, it occurs to me that the few remaining adults in the RAT party must be getting ready to approach him with the suggestion that he declare that all of his goals have been accomplished, that he's saved the union and now will step aside so that he can continue his magificent work elsewhere.

I disagree. I think Boehner has done very well - and I think Obama is completely lost.

“...this president is literally using this press conference to create a financial panic over the weekend about the opening of the markets on Monday.”

The man-boy who cried wolf. LOL!

It worked for Hitler.

Omoslem knows one thing — which tactics worked for prior dictators.

What a narcissist. This President pines for the cameras more than Paris Hilton.

It is just leftist politics. If the extend and pretend policy is halted and truth enters the marketplace then the Democrats will blame these newly visible consequences of previous bad policy on the house Republicans. No matter what happens, most of these economic consequences are already baked in the cake, but now Democrats are trying to pin the blame on the right for votes on issues like this. However, like everyone on the right has been saying, or should be saying, the problem is the debt and not the debt ceiling.
