What the GOP/Tea Party lunatics have done here is without precedent.
They are holding the good faith and credit of the United States hostage in order to extort their minority party demands for devestating cuts to essential programs providing critical assistance to the poor, elderly, children and the middle class...all while INSISTING that millionaires and Billionaires not pay one additional red cent in taxes...where in the world is the public outrage?!
Obama MUST hold firm as he and the Dems represent the final firewall protecting the most vulnerable amongst us from these glassy-eyed Randist ideologues....and President Cave-Ins track record negotiating with GOP/Tea Party loonies here only serves to further embolden the hostage takers in this insane game of chicken being played by many of the same GOP participants who simply raised the debt ceiling without any objection NINE TIMES under Goerge W Bush...and the debt ceiling has been raised" as a matter of housekeeping" (as then GOP Rep Mitch Daniels -now tea partier Gov of Indiana put it back in the day) SEVENTY FOUR times since the Kennedy Administration...what Joe and Mary Sixpack fail to understand is that this is NOT a credit extension as on their personal credit cards but in reality payment for money already spent-largely by W Bush in 2 wars and tax cuts for the wealthy....the meal has already been eaten and these GOP/Tea Party deadbeats want to pull a chew and screw and run out on the bill!!
Obama MUST deal politically with these hostage takers as effectively as he dealt militarily with the Somali Pirates and Osama Bin Laden....the future of the nation and the financial world hangs in the balance because of these rightwing extremists.
