Update 3: Reuters is reporting that Obama would not back down on the debt ceiling, even if it jeopardizes his reelection chances. "Would Ronald Reagan be sitting here?," he reportedly said. "I've reached my limit. This may bring my presidency down, but I will not yield on this.'' Update 2: House Minority Whip Steny Hoyer (D-MD) said no progress was made on the talks today. “The president is putting a lot of time and energy into getting an agreement, and it’s tough,” Hoyer told POLITICO. According to Cantor, Obama said that the group has until Friday to figure out "which way we're going." They will return to the White House tomorrow to try to get the talks back on track. Update: According to Fox News, a senior Democratic aide pushed back at Cantor's account, saying "Congressman Cantor is the last person who should complain of people abruptly walking out of meetings." Cantor publicly quit the deficit talks led by Vice President Joe Biden last month. Republicans reportedly used the talks to criticize Obama's proposed spending cuts as "gimmicks and accounting tricks," according to Reuters. Original: President Barack Obama abruptly left today's negotiating session to raise the debt ceiling and lower the deficit, House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-VA) told reporters after the meeting. Cantor said Obama walked-out "angrily" after he offered to support two separate debt ceiling votes — a proposal Obama had repeatedly said he would veto. "Eric, don't call my bluff," Obama said according to Cantor moments before storming out of the meeting. "I'm going to take this to the American people." Cantor said all progress in the debt talks has been erased. Developing...

OMG, hObama pushed grandma and her wheelchair down a flight of stairs! Women and minorities hardest hit!
Obama's watch stopped on 24 May 2008, but he's been too busy smoking crack to notice.
The ads from the GOPKochs are being cut as I type I'm certain. You must admit, for an off-year election news cycle, this is entertaining...indeed!
Never swear "allegiance" to anything other than the 'right to change your mind'!

Here ya go, sport. Have at her.
Here's another account: “Cantor’s account of tonight’s meeting is completely overblown. For someone who knows how to walk out of a meeting, you’d think he’d know it when he saw it,” a Democratic aide said. “Cantor rudely interrupted the president three times to advocate for short-term debt ceiling increases while the president was wrapping the meeting. This is just more juvenile behavior from him and Boehner needs to rein him in, and let the grown-ups get to work.” Von Mises associates any Government involvement in markets as "Socialism" , to mislead people into thinking Government is the enemy , when infact empire is the enemy and empire is Privatized.
OMG!! I know this little twit was installed as an enormous insult to the American people but the owners of the Kenyan Howdy Doody are sure getting their moneys worth.
That's funny! As was the retort. Thanks.
He's already brought his Presidency down. That he threw another temper tantrum isn't at all surprising.
Proxy IP's are amusing.....lmao
That's a good picture of Captain Crybaby..... The lastest Rasmussen polls show Obozo down to "ANY" Republican candidate by almost 10 points!!!!!
When asked by a Liberal what I bought my Granddaughter for her 1st birthday I replied, "MORE AMMUNITION"!!!!
LOL...... And where does he think that will get him????? The last time he did that he "MADE SURE" that the American public realized that Obozocare was a POS and wanted it repealed..... whats the latest disapproval numbers for that 60-65%????

Like the old Demento skit, "Last Will and Temprement," HEDGE: That's a laugh! EXECUTOR: "...do hereby divide up my considerable estate as follows. To my overly emotional sister, Jenny..." JENNY: Waaaa! HANK: Jenny, darling, he's talking about us. JENNY: Oh. EXECUTOR: "...who grubbed with her husband, Hank, grubbed for everything they could get from me, and then cried crocodile tears when I needed sympathy..." JENNY: What? EXECUTOR: "...To Jenny, I leave a boot to the head." JENNY: A what? *BONK!* JENNY: Ow! HANK: Jenny, are you okay? EXECUTOR: "...and another boot to her wimpy husband, Hank." *BONK!* HANK: Ow! HEDGE: Hahahahaha... JENNY: This is an outrage! EXECUTOR: "...ah, but still, you are my sister, you have both admired my Rolls Royce, and since I no longer need it..." JENNY: Oh, dear Arthur, he's too kind! HANK: Yes. EXECUTOR: "...I bequeath another boot to the head." “If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.” The State can no longer hide the consequences of their 100-year lie. VERY interesting times are ahead.
Yep. President Obama is finished come November... {laughing}
