President Barack Obama summoned congressional leaders to the White House on the second day of a partial government shutdown that has furloughed hundreds of thousands of workers and closed military cemeteries as far away as France. Republican leaders welcomed the Wednesday afternoon meeting but questioned whether Democrats were ready to deal.

My thought exactly - one branch of government does not “summon” another branch. If it was really posed that way, I think the answer should be, “KMA, you arrogant pr*ck”.

>> Smell under the table deal already made.

That can be taken at least two ways,

Smell under the table; deal already made

or

[I] smell [that an] “under the table” deal [is] already made.

The funny thing is, they both work.

A ‘Sunset provision’ among many others. No more than a year. The Dims will run us all into the ground otherwise.
There should be a stake held over this thing’s chest in case it turns out to be the bloodsucking vampire we believe it to be.
And no exemptions and no subsidies.

On second thought .... start pounding now!

Hope Boehner doesn’t let him off the hook on the shutdown in exchange for a debt limit deal- which is IMHO what he wants today.

That is EXACTLY what I believe will happen. Obama will postpone Obamacare but Republicans MUST pass the debt limit increase. I PRAY that the Republicans tell him to pound sand.

I’d say the man is clinically insane. No telling what’s going to happen.

the House responses should be: ‘We also won, and we are doing what we were elected to do’

Ted Cruz should go with Boehner as a chaperone. Do not trust Boehner at all, as he always caves.

That “snap” might be helped along if Boner could work up the nerve to mention a few key words like Beengazzi, F&F, impeachment, etc. There has to be a certain threat level directed at the Kenyan directly-—that’s the only negotiating technique he will respond to——fear for his own skin.

BRILLIANT!

Let’s broadcast that meeting LIVE on C-Span!

Then let everyone see how “The One” tries to spin himself as the only “adult” in the room.

I think the Republicans should start the meeting by saying:

“For quality assurance purposes, this meeting is being recorded...”

Alternately, it may work to our advantage, if the House invites the networks to send big camera crews to broadcast the meeting. THEN, when “The One” tries to play-act as “Emperor Nero”, EVERYONE will see it....

If the White House has a problem with permitting an “open” meeting to occur, then Republicans should delay holding the meeting until the question of just WHY the White House wants to make a “secret deal” with the House has been thoroughly discussed.

The only way he will bend is if Reggie Love steps into the room.
