President Barack Obama abruptly walked out of a stormy debt-limit meeting with congressional leaders Wednesday, a dramatic setback to the already shaky negotiations, according to GOP sources.

“He shoved back and said ‘I’ll see you tomorrow’ and walked out,” House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.) told reporters in the Capitol after the meeting...

“Eric, don’t call my bluff,” the president said, warning Cantor

He went after the old folks yesterday.

Today in a shop my attention was drawn to an older lady who must have been about 60 or 70. She seemed distracted and was brightly smiling and the customer service representative seemed to have difficulty communicating with her. She didn't seem to be very aware of her surroundings, even though she was apparently there to buy something.

When she walked out of the store I noticed she was holding some sort of cardboard BO campaign sign. She exited the store with this sign and the same ditzy smile on her face.

You think BO cares about the likes of her?

Sad to say, she'll never know what hit her.

There is an easy way to "call this bluff";
The House should defund Obamacare and for good measure, the EPA. Turn right around and say "Okay, no bluff calling. But we DO have all sorts of money now, so that debt ceiling thing is very, very "yesterday". Now, about those tax increases you made mention of...We were thinking Dept. of Education next."

He didn’t have the teleprompter in front of him at that point. He’s lost without it. ... or better put...just plain lost.

I don’t get it. Can Obama spend borrowed money if it is not appropriated by Congress?

Obama isn’t going to end well. He may decide to take a few of us out with him.


Hitler did it and there are many similarities between the two.

Hitler grew to hate and detest the German people for not seeing everything through his eyes when the war was lost. 0bama already detests America and when he’s threatened, he’ll go all out to destroy America.

They’d better put him on suicide watch.

Incompetance or arrogance?

--------------------------

All I see is evil.

Obama & Soros are thicker than blood. A financial terrorist with a checkbook but no country.

Soros at the White House-1sm
Zer0 doesn't care about left or right... he's there to bring down America...

No problem, Cantor, just a case of Deja Vu! Better not call his bluff!

O’bama is a bully. I bet he was one of those mean little kids that picked on those weaker than himself.


No, he gave them his lunch money to keep them from smacking him around. Then he stole lunch money from the smaller kids. He’s been stealing ever since.

Well, they certainly weren’t worth much in the years leading up to Obama. Let’s hope they have changed.

If I were Cantor, my response would have been,

“Don’t mess with US, Barry. Did you see the results of last November’s election? We won!”

Obumbum desperately needs the Republicans to cave on [new] taxes so that Obumbum can get reelected.

Obumbum is running on the platform of raising taxes on the most wealthy in America, same ole mantra, different election. No one has ever run on a platform of raising taxes on Americans and have won!

Obumbum and his ilk desperately need a “Bush” moment so they can run adds showing the Republicans agreed to raise Americans their taxes and that will be the death nail for the Republicans and the liberal socialist know this all too well!

If the Republicans cave, the lose, it is as simple as that!

Yes, by all means. To bad Helen Keller isn’t available, and I mean that in the nicest way.
