Obama: US will be 'banana republic' if GOP forces default [claims GOP, "messing with me"]
The Hill ^ | September 20, 2013 | Justin Sink

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.

[SNIP]

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.

The continuing resolution will now move to the Senate, where language defunding the president's signature healthcare law is expected to be stripped from the bill.....

The president of the United States, speaking like a gangster. Very disturbing.

Next we’ll be hearing about how Boehner is “dissing” him.

“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.”

Yeah, OTrauma. EVERYTHING is ALWAYS ALL ABOUT YOU. Nothing ever happens for any other reason.

The guy's a clinical narcissist, and should be in serious treatment.

There is way plenty of cash coming into the treasure to pay the interest on the debt. With enough left over to send Michelle and the girls to a 15 star resort for a month.

Obama is trying to panic people with demagoguery.

I think he used those “messing with me” words for his low info voters almost like a post hypnotic suggestion for them to go after republicans or anyone who messes with their man.

Who talks like this I wouldn’t expect it from a President or a professional.

What with his own ‘flag’, hand picked dummies ... When you are dumber than a pile of rocks, it is HARD to find people dumber than yourself, so that in itself is a challenge.
In fact that is the ONLY thing he has managed to do, filled the cabinet posts etc with people dumber than himself.

The transformation will be ‘complete’ when BO shows up on the ‘WH Balcony’ wearing one of Idi Amin’s old uniforms....

Obama is very near a complete breakdown. And the world will be a much better and safer world if that happens.

Roll Call:

“Updated 1:20 p.m. | Sen. Ted Cruz said Friday that Republican senators should, in effect, filibuster the House-passed continuing resolution in the Senate.

The Texas Republican is calling on his colleagues to oppose limiting debate on it, warning against what he calls procedural trickery.

“Step two is the Senate, where all accounts suggest Harry Reid plans to use procedural gimmicks to try to add funding back in for Obamacare,” Cruz said. “If Reid pursues this plan — if he insists on using a 50-vote threshold to fund Obamacare with a partisan vote of only Democrats — then I hope that every Senate Republican will stand together and oppose cloture on the bill in order to keep the House bill intact and not let Harry Reid add Obamacare funding back in.”

“Now is a time for party unity; Senate Republicans should stand side-by-side with courageous House Republicans,” Cruz said.

The statement underscores the unwinnable procedural hand faced by conservative senators, however. They know that Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid will move to strike out the Obamacare defunding language after getting the 60 votes needed to limit debate, but they can’t stop him without effectively endorsing a government shutdown........”

I’ve run out of adjectives to describe how disgusted I am with this puke of a president.
