He was in the game, just which game? Obama basically manipulated Cantor into "walking out" and now Boehner. Both look foolish and unworthy of public trust. Not to mention, he will likely get what he originally wanted, clean increase of debt ceiling. They really cannot compete with this man.

Idiots elected these idiots and now they're playing the American people. The idiots who put these idiots in power have no idea how NOT raising the debt ceiling is going to affect us. I don't think we'll get the chance to find out, but this stupidty is so disgusting. Looking at the childish comebacks and the foolish pictures being posted, it tells me that we have regressed as an nation. People are so clouded by their hatred that they have completely lost touch with reality.

Good news to hear. I thought Obama was going to cave but looks like his balls are still in tact. Let the tea party collapse the economic so they can be eliminated along with the gop as national party in 2012.
Wait now.....they had a deal, but obama demanded more money because his caucus was squawking...but the TP is to blame?

I don't think so.

No they do not realize it, nor do they care, if people think things are bad now, now is nothing compared to tomorrow.

Great! It is about time that the republicans address the out of control spending initiated by the democratic congress and Obama- they have doubled the national debt and have accumulated more debt than all the previous presidents in US history combined. Obama is too irresponsible to address the debt and needs to be reigned in .

Obama only cares about himself and getting re-elected and really does not care if he doubles the national debt again, essentially dooming the nation to economic catastrophe. What IS SHOCKING is that the democrats seem to be perfectly happy spending as usual and creating assured chaos. Obama is the most puerile, polarizing president in US history and has completely neglected his duty to the citizens of the US.

It really is disgusting and these people have the audacity to call themselves patriot, yet they put hatred before their country. Such a shame. They are like crabs in a barrel willing to pull everyone else down with them.
and the rest of the country knows it as well
