OBAMA USELESS IN DEBT CEILING NEGOTIATIONS

Obama Temper Tantrum Reaches Expiration Date

Remember last week, when President Obama threw a fit and stormed out of budget negotiations with the House Republican leadership? Do you recall what made him blow a fuse? It was when House Majority Leader Eric Cantor suggested a short-term deal to raise the debt limit a bit, because Democrats and Republicans could use more time to settle their differences.

Personally, I'm more than a little tired of short-term deals. We’ve had over 800 days of punting. I thought the federal government was supposed to be a $3.7 trillion high-performance engine of central planning and economic wisdom. That’s the reason given for allowing it to take over car companies, bail out banks, and seize control of health insurance. I don't know how liberals can make such arguments with a straight face, when the Leviathan has been thrashing around for over two years without a budget.
