President Obama said Republicans in Congress were threatening to make the United States into "a deadbeat" and a "banana republic" with their maneuvers to tie the federal budget and the debt ceiling to defunding ObamaCare.

He said the debate in Congress was "not meeting the test of helping middle class families" and accused a "faction on the far right of the Republican party" of impeding compromise.

"They're not focused on you," Obama said. "They're focused on politics; they're focused on trying to mess with me; they're not focused on you."

The president's remarks came just hours after the 230-198 party-line vote in the House approving legislation that would condition keeping the government open on defunding the president's health care plan.

“They’re not focused on you,” Obama said. “They’re focused on politics; they’re focused on trying to mess with me; they’re not focused on you.”

And all the while, Obama is focused on destroying the
Constitution, messing with America.

Obama is an ass. No one is defaulting. We do not need and do not want his big spending economy-killing, jobs-killing Marxist boondoggles. Defund ObamaCare! Cut government spending! Hold the line!!

A default isn’t going to happen. The fed still takes in more money that is necessary to service the debt - it’s stopping *new* spending, not debt service.

"They're focused on politics; they're focused on trying to mess with me;

Yeah, still thinking you are the center of the universe, right?

Pinheaded moron, they are focused on saving the American health care industry by NOT giving control of one sixth of the entire economy to the tens of thousands of Lous Lerners in the IRS.
