Obama calls Boehner to say he won’t negotiate

Obama calls Boehner to say he won’t negotiate on debt ceiling. We wonder how that conversation went…

“John, this is Barack Obama. I’m calling to tell you I won’t be negotiating with you on the debt ceiling.”
“So then, uh… why did you bother calling?”
“Well I’m just calling to tell you I won’t be calling.”
“But you already called, right? So this is like the red line in Syria all over again.”
“NO IT’S NOT! NO IT’S NOT!”
“Stop yelling or I’ll tell Putin.”

  • Despise his politics but this is pretty cool,

    “The one thing my family insisted on was, don’t embarrass us. Don’t make us come to jail, because though we will come to see you, we’re going to leave you there. It just wasn’t an option for me. I was more afraid of the people I lived with than the people I ran with.”

  • Saw somewhere that there was a GOP straw poll yesterday and Rand Paul crushed Chris Christie...no mean feat if you know what I mean....that tells me that the libertarian/classical liberal element of the GOP is winning the ideological battle with the establishment Republicans. Rubio might as well not even bother forming an exploratory committee. To paraphrase Yamamoto: A sleeping giant has awakened. 100,000,000 traditional Americans are getting really pissed off.

    • You know what happened to Rubio? He hired those damn professional political consultants - the same bozos and nincompoops who advised McCain and Romney - and they told him the key to winning the presidency is to attract Hispanic and independent voters by getting out in front on amnesty for illegals. When will these Republican morons learn that professional political consultants are Trojan horses?

  • Wonder if our moonbat overlord throws hissy fits when he is alone, Stomping his feet, cussing, having a general temper tantrum...If Tan boy had any balls at all he would say, "call me back when you grow up Mr. President" and would hang up on Obama.....But first asking, Does this sound like I am hanging up...click....

  • OK, fine you petulent child, and if we don't let you have your way, what are you going to do about it? Holding your breath and stomping your feet won't work, screaming "I WANT IT, I WANT IT, I WANT IT" won't work, rolling around on the floor crying, kicking, and screaming won't work, so it looks like you'll have to come up with a new plan.

    • Some petulant children make threats that they are going to hold their breath until they drop dead- now I'm not advocating anything in particular but I just want for Barry not to rule anything out at this point.

        • Refreshing to see the empire showing some cracks. Frankly, if the Treasodent wants it to be about him then let him and him alone answer for the myriad of crimes that this administration has commissioned not only against other countries but also against his own citizens-- INCLUDING the policies of economic disservice to those he successfully fooled into electing and reelecting him.

          • INCLUDING the policies of economic disservice to those he successfully fooled into electing and reelecting him.

            I don't feel sorry for THEM, not one f***ing bit! THEY knew enough about him the second time around not to vote for him and they did anyway...THEM, THEM, F*** THEM!!!

        • They notice because they know eventually his stench will cling to them when they need to find work post-presidency.

          • The stench needs to be permanent- not only to the progressives who actively helped to engineer the crime that is his presidency but also the enabling RINOs who pretended to be opposition- effectively forestalling any meaningful efforts to derail the runaway train of spend spend spend... as well as their dutiful cooperation with the demagoguery and class warfare.

        • Wouldn't work. Soon as he passed out he would start breathing again. That's why that threat doesn't work for toddlers either. One would need,say a pillow or garrotte or something to back up the breath holding!

  • Too bad Boehner wouldn't actually have the balls to say that. More like, t"he Tea Party took my balls, Your Chicago Jesus-ness. Forgive me, Lord Obama"

  • There is no negotiation, so I guess this is one time Obama will have gotten it right. We don't want this damn communist take-over of our healthcare. End of story. What I'd like to know is just how Obama plans on getting the money to fund this Neo-Marxist law when Congress refuses to give it to him? I hope and pray they [Congress] stick to their guns and see this country-ruining law stymied once and for all.

      • If we would reform the immigration process, to allow good, hardworking imigrantsm, with some kind of job skill, or a guaranteed job waiting we would all be better off. It is the uncontrolled flood of criminals, skill-less workers and uneducated immigrants who come here and have nothing to offer us in return for their acceptance here that is the problem. And some of that shows. If you are a talented scientis, computer geek , physician, you can get a visa in a heartbeat. Others wwait for YEARS, plus bookoos of bucks to get in, And even those don't help our economy THAT much, because they send US dollars back to their poor families in other countriesm rather than putting it back into the economy here. Illegals are abused, cheated, can spread illness simply because they have no health care. We don't need amnesty AGAIN! This will be, what the 6th time in 60 years? And many who wre eligible for amnesty on one of the last rounds never applied, and are stil illegal. Fix the system, not just open the floodgates!

        • Slight amendment. A guaranteed job waiting for them, that the employer has honestly tried to fill with an American.

    • Executive Order #234895723458962304897359867493584570983983459823749085753927239857012389470596759203864912875023985751289070923846750923584751928401923847502359845709123847023952346857129038460843610265029867537441270583767412095

  • Meet Barry who's born we don't know where,
    From Honolu' or Kenya square.
    But Johnny's only seen the light.
    By voting in the dark of night --
    What a crazy pair!

    But they're felons,
    Identical felons all the way.
    One pair of matching bookends,
    Different- like light and day.

    Where Barry adores Alinsky's set,
    The Muslim bros, and no regret,
    Our Johnny loves to call the roll,
    A house he pretends to lose control --
    What a wild duet!

    Still, they're felons,
    Identical felons and you'll find,
    They laugh alike, they walk alike,
    At times they even vote alike --

    You can lose your mind,
    When felons are two of a kind
