“This is the United States of America — we’re not some banana republic, this is not a deadbeat nation, we don’t run out on our tab,” the president said during a speech at a Ford plant in Liberty, Mo., on Friday afternoon. “We just can’t pay our bills.”
Earlier today, the House voted and passed a continuing resolution to fund the federal government except for Obamacare through the end of the year.

Of all of the headlines these past two days, paraphrasing and quoting the leader, the tone is one of projection. Textbook quality, too.

"...we’re not some banana republic, this is not a deadbeat nation, we don’t run out on our tab,” the president said...“We just can’t pay our bills.” That really sounds like the illegal-alien Resident said that we are a deadbeat nation running a tab. It's what "not paying bills" means!!!

When you have to come out an say you aren’t a banana republic, you really are.
The USA is a banana republic, only without the bananas......or the republic.
