But hey let Odumber ignore it. We tried the peaceful way and he ignored us so he can't get to pissy when it comes to doing it the hard way. He forced our hand.
President Obama has no authority but to ignore it as there is no constitutional provision to de-admit states to the union.

If it was up to me, I'd cut the new nation of Dumfucistan loose.

What money did Obama spend that wasn't passed by the Republican House?

Actually, the purpose of raising the debt ceiling is to pay for spending that the Congress already appropriated. If the Republicans in the House were really serious about the deficit they'd either raise taxes or cut spending -- but they'd rather spend more than they tax and then complain about the deficit that they created, while denying the President the ability to pay that debt.

Texas has a surplus, not because of any conservative policies, but because they are lucky enough to have oil under the ground that is fetching high prices.

The latest citizen-generated petition on the official White House site:

Eliminate armed guards for the President, Vice-President, and their families, and establish Gun Free Zones around them.

Gun Free Zones are supposed to protect our children, and some politicians wish to strip us of our right to keep and bear arms. Those same politicians and their families are currently under the protection of armed Secret Service agents. If Gun Free Zones are sufficient protection for our children, then Gun Free Zones should be good enough for politicians.

Heh. But really, the logic is hard to argue with. Schools are gun-free zones because we care so much about our children’s safety, right? Well, unless your children go to, say, Sidwell Friends. No need to take any risks where really important kids are concerned! Follow the link above to sign the petition, which has nearly 18,000 signatures so far.

Sounds like a good idea…

If you dissolve the secret service, and do not let the president hold a gun, he will be subject to the same conditions our children are.

I am sorry, the argument that the President of the United States and his family aren't a special case that needs protection is idiotic on its face -- especially considering the history of assassinations and assassination attempts.

How quickly you forget MTA. Right off the top of my head I can think of one big bill that is a huge expenditure, more than even first considered, that even Pelosi said had to be passed to see what was in it--Obamacare. Not one House Republican voted for it. It's the House Republicans that are trying to get the White House to cut spending without success. Hopefully Obama will not continue the in your face attitude. While many on this list would love a Republican smack down, his predecessors say that is foolishness and got a lot more accomplished without this divisiveness. I don't really think he wants that to be his legacy, but who knows.

Here's an article for you. It's even got a little chart which you'll love.

Goober from Andy Griffith could be their first leader.

Well, if gun-free zones protect our children from mass shootings, why wouldn't they protect the president?

The WH should have accepted the 9th petition, which called for the deportation of those who had signed the other 8.
