800 Billion?? What the Hell, What is so Damn Hard about? NO Taxes Period!In Washington since 92, That tax mentality Again!! JOHN it is NOT your MONEY,GOT IT?????
Obama is wearying of this. He wants to get it over with.
For Boehner, this is second nature and it’s what he lives for.
Does that mean Obama didn’t have enough experience while in congress??
Seems to me if you are ‘beginning’ to respect someone, you wall call them by their correct name.

Obama has no bottomline.
In 2008, Rubin was a Giuliani supporter.
I second that!
With Barry in charge, though, who knows what it would mean in reality. He might interpret it as a blank check to confiscate property, raid churches he doesn't think should be exempt, or anything else he wants to do. That's part of the problem with the American people having ever been so stupid as to elect this guy. What the dictionary says a word means and what Barry says the word means are not the same thing. Clinton playing games with what "is is" pales by comparison to Barry and his crowd who call "law enforcement" selling guns to narcoterrorists.
“Comments?”
Well, did the Speaker “report” to the White House for a meeting today, as he was “ordered to do” by the President?
How Mr. Boehner responds to such “orders” will reveal a lot on how he is finally going to handle things....
Just sayin’....
Like many Freepers, I’ve been highly skeptical about Speaker John Boehner and whether he would stand up to Obama and the Democrats on this crucial issue or do what Washington Republicans always do: cave. Frankly, at this juncture, I’m glad t5hat although I was skeptical of Boehner, I always held out hope that he would do the right thing and hold firm on the requirements for agreeing to a rise in the federal debt ceiling. At this juncture, he has - and I don’t mind giving him credit for doing so and making the Kenyan Marxist in the Oval Office look like the inept, immature and politically clumsy president he really is. Boehner may be a weeper but right now, he is acting a lot like a FReeper. Let us hope he continues to obey the expressed will of the people and doesn’t make a foolish deal with Obama and the Democrats in some eleventh-hour ‘compromise’ that adds to the tax burden already borne by fed-up Americans. Today, I’m optimistic - and not with the qualifier: ‘cautiously’. It’s a good feeling.
“Take a look at the reader responses...”
It is freaking scary how bad the comments at the WAPO are, not to this article (I didn’t read them) but just in general.
I read the WSJ’s opinion journal (where you pretty much are supposed to post under your own name and I do); and I read the NY Times (rarely, but I almost always read the comments)and every day I read the NY Post.
Now the WSJ and the NYT have pretty decent comments. I mean if you want to see literate liberalism in its fullest bloom check out the Times commentors. For the most part, they are not imbeciles, they just have imbecilic ideas.
The WSJ has pretty good comments, although most of their lefties are trolls or one-note johnnys.
Now the NY Post has the worst, moronic, mouth-breather type commentors you could ever want to find. They pretty much only come out for crime stories, but in almost every case they are awful, racist, just the worst.
I’d say that most commentors on the WAPO site are one step below those of the NY Post. And when you ponder how many of the Post’s readers are probably pulling the levers of our gov’t....
Well, oy veh just doesn’t express it, but I don’t know what else to say.
“What is enhanced enforcement of the tax code? Those are some scary words.”
Leave the gun. Take the cannoli.
What happened today at his “summoned to the White House” meeting?
That's what I said Boehner should do 10 days ago in this post.
I say again, this negotiating with Obama should never have happened. Boehner and McConnell should have forced these negotiations into the Senate, where it properly belongs. Let Obama and Reid work out the Democrat plan in the Senate budget, and then use the budget reconciliation process to hammer out the details with the Republicans in the House.Make Obama look like a bystander, not the controlling power-player.

When I heard last night that Mr. Obama “demanded” that congressional leaders meet with him, I wondered whether he had ever read the constitution. Didn’t he claim to teach a class on constitutional law?
That says, "my base (whose views brought us to this sorry pass in our nation's history) is so important that I could not accept, nor encourage Democrats in the Senate to accept, the solution to the so-called 'debt crisis' provided by a majority of the House, because that 'base' might criticize me."
An old and wise ancient writing asserts, "Without a vision, the people perish."
The "vision" of America's Founders was for a land of liberty to which millions could flee and find opportunity, success, plenty, and freedom to "pursue personal happiness."
That vision has been replaced by a "world view" which says preserving coercive government power for an elected and unelected elite is more important than preserving individual liberty for millions of unborn generations in the future.
You are an idiot.
I heard “the meeting” ended after an hour today. Going to do a google search and see if that was the case.
Amen.
LOL...you're good.
