“RATS need to dust this guy off and throw him back in the ring.”

Along with his prissy “leader”.

Good. I hope they take a vacation of the next month so the debt ceiling won’t be raised.

The real News here is that Harry Reid actually read and understood the US Constitution!

Thanks Libloather.
"The Speaker of the House and the president have been working to reach agreement on a major deficit-reduction measure." Reid said that constitutionally, any such measure would have to originate in the House anyway, so there is little the Senate can do on its own.

“I understand … under the Constitution … the House of Representatives must originate all revenue items,” said Reid. “Therefore, the path to avert default now runs first to the House of Representatives.

“That's what the Constitution demands,” he added. “We in the Senate must wait for them.”

Translation: I want the House to send me HIGHER TAXES. (/whine)

“Earlier in the week, however, Reid scheduled work on Saturday and Sunday and harshly criticized Republican leadership in the House for planning a recess. “

Reid is real piece of work.

He COULD have let them debate, amend and fix the CCB bill to get to a compromise.

He COULD have put a budget together and passed it. Instead, he does NOTHING constructive and takes the weekend off.

Here is what the House members are saying ....

“We have voted to raise the debt ceiling against our strongest wishes. ... We have fulfilled our obligations,” Rep. Cynthia Lummis (R-Wyo.) said. “The attention is not on the House anymore, go stick your microphones in the faces of the Senate and the president. The House is done!”

.... STANDOFF!

“That's what the Constitution demands,” he added. “We in the Senate must wait for them.”

Nope. Just another lie from dirty Harry. The House has already passed the debt ceiling increase bill known as CCB this week.

The Senate can vote on it again at any time, and once it is passed then there is no default or crisis.

Thus, the world is waiting on the Senate, not the Senate waiting on the House.
