President Obama commanded House Speaker John Boehner and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid on Tuesday to work out a budget deal or else return to the White House every day until they do.
In a surprise appearance in front of reporters in the briefing room, Obama said he and his team are “prepared to meet for as long as possible to get this result.”
Obama announced that Boehner and Reid would meet at 4 p.m. Tuesday to talk about the budget. And he played hardball: "The speaker apparently didn't want our team involved in that discussion. That's fine. If they can sort it out, then we've got more than enough to do. If they can't sort it out then, I want them back here tomorrow. But it would be inexcusable for us to not be able to take care of last year's business."
He told lawmakers to “act like grownups.”

Obama “commanded” them to return??? If I were either one of them, I’d tell him to kiss off.
“He told lawmakers to “act like grownups.”
Junior should not be lecturing anyone about acting like grown-ups. He’s acted like a spoiled brat on many, many occasions and berates those that disagree with him. Had he ever managed something, even a lemonade stand, he would have learned a bit about maturity and leadership.
He told lawmakers to “act like grownups.”
Pot — kettle.

Just who is part of the arrested development crowd?
Gates at the Pentagon, is now threatening our military by withholding pay!
Bastards!
Demoncrats were rooting for a Government Shutdown just last week.
Huh, color me skeptical about 0bummer’s motives.
Or else what you useless POS. You haven’t been declared dictator yet you National Socialist fascist. There is still separation of powers and guess what; the other side won the House which controls the budget process so if you sign what they send you fine, if you don’t you are blamed at every turn. To paraphrase a famous jackass; you can ride but you have to sit in the back of the bus.
FUBO & FAD

Obama is using Clinton tactics. If you yourself have done something wrong, criminal, irresponsible, unwise, stupid, unethical, or just plain cowardly, the best thing to do is get out in front and accuse your opponents of doing what you're guilty of and do it with no hesitation or weakness.
And I command you to stay off the golf course!
He told Congress to "act like grownups"? King Obama personifies chutzpah.
Obama may not realize it, but it is HE who for Harry & Nancy — not the other way round. If Barry keeps giving orders like that his Birth Certificate might just find the light of day.
“Last years business”. Damn, who controlled the whole shootin’ match last year.
Boehner should send his janitor to meet with Barry.
Or else what herr fuhrer?
“President Obama commanded House Speaker John Boehner and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid on Tuesday to work out a budget deal or else return to the White House every day until they do”
He has no authority to do this!
Alex:
“I’ll take ‘or else for $14.7 trillion”.
Or what. He would throw a temper tantrum?
Hmm...
I didn't know the President was in the management chain of Congress and the Senate.
I got your deal right here. NUTS!!
