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.

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.

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

I’d happily settle for a resignation. Dated today.

Not that “bite me” as a replacement is any great prize, but you take what you can get.

Clown Prince nobama needs evermore ridicule. The Clown Prince is one sick puppy. The feckless loser Clown Prince needs to be driven into treatment (preferably in a prison).

The beauty of the Buckwheat presidency is that he thinks that the Secret Service will protect his anti-American facsist ass. Whatajoke.

The mercenary secret service traitors couldn’t protect a doughnut from a frosting machine.
