#1 ". A lot of work will be done between now and then," Obama remarked."

Most of it in your head. Logic, reality, responsibility, courage, intestinal fortitude, morality, candor, commitment, and your Oath all must be implanted somehow into your middle school brain.

Since you are obviously not up to the job, you could try learning something for once instead of playing your "short" game.

Just remember this, any thing you want to do will fail and make all of us worse off in the long run so STFU and grow up.

#2 Limit Presidential, VP, cabinet, and congressional compensation to per diem and travel ONLY for the next 12 months, then see how fast they come up with a solution. Worthless bastids, the lot

#3 A lot of work will be done between now and then

#5 He doesn't even comprehend the other issues - her only sees his own - raising the debt ceiling.

#6 He doesn't even comprehend the other issues

"If I wasn't a genius, People of the World wouldn't have elected me POTUS, would they?"

#7 My guess, he adds an item or two from the Republican wish list and dares them to vote down the budget and tell their constituents they voted against those items. Something along those lines. If they shoot it down he can say he offered them things that were never on the table before, that's how serious he was, but they are just being difficult.

#8 Don't like this working on Sunday. Look what happened w/the Casey Anthony jury: can't tell me their vote wasn't just a big FU to wrap things up.

We have a shovel-ready economy and last minute marathon sessions w/ egomaniacs who just want to go home is not the way to a thoughtful, long range solution.

Here's my take out-year spending cuts that will never happen and immediate revenue increases that will be effective backdated 1/1/2011.

#10 Obama will do what he does best "simply ignore the ceiling and borrow more money?
Some legal experts believe he could, citing the 14th Amendment to the Constitution, adopted in 1868".

#11 They room was full of dust from the old liberal playbook: higher Taxes and cut defense.

#13 Some legal experts believe...

..what ever they want. How about no need to honor any piece of paper issued and purchased after exceeding the limit set by the house of the people? Who ever plays on that game might well find them without value when the next man takes the office.
