EXCELLENT! A voice of reason. It's high time the GOP "manned-up."

Good piece...

I must say however, that the proverbial "elephant in the living room" is being over looked and danced around as if it were not there.

No major pundit is considering, out loud, the possibility that Obama is not only threatening the things he suggests will happen, or is willing to simply frighten people with them, but that he is more than willing to do them purposely for his own reasons, what ever that might be.

I would suggest to you that its high time to consider those things might have been his aim all along. Let us not forget who he has hobnobbed with all his life...people who literally hate America and would see it destroyed, Ayers and Dorhn were DOMESTIC TERRORISTS.

Jefferson put it this way:

"Where the principle of difference [between political parties] is as substantial and as strongly pronounced as between the republicans and the monocrats of our country, I hold it as honorable to take a firm and decided part and as immoral to pursue a middle line, as between the parties of honest men and rogues, into which every country is divided."

We DARE NOT refuse to consider that Obama is not only a dishonest rogue, but that he is capable of precisely the things he has said all along, just as Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Castro, Che, Ahmadinejad, Chavez, and a host of other would-be tyrants have said, and were ignored until they proved who they were.

Cheney said of nukes in the wrong hands, "if there is a 1% chance of it, the results are so catastrophic that we must treat it as if it were a certainty...." paraphrasing of course.

I simply ask, what could be more catastrophic for Israel than to elect a PM and majority of Parliament from Hamas. I stand by that analogy re Obama and his ilk.

In his situation, considering the restraints that still remain on him, what could he have done differently if he were actually trying to make a mess?

That explains what we see better than all the twists and turns in hope that it takes to explain it away.

God bless

Arch villain Goldfinger to Agent 007 James Bond: "In Chicago, Mr. Bond, they have a saying: once is happenstance, twice is coincidence, the third time is enemy action."

The repubs will break. They've no spine.

Obama is as cold-blooded as anyone I have ever seen.He is capable of anything.However; it is my understanding that the US House controls the purse strings.I don`t believe that he can unilaterally withhold checks to anyone.Maybe I am mistaken in this impression.However; he did say that SS and checks to veterans MIGHT not be sent out.I took that to be pure political grandstanding.The Us congress,especially the House, needs to get it`s guts together and put this bastard in his place.

I fear that the Republicans will fold ... again. As Charles Krauthamer has so eloquently put: President Obama has manuvered himself into the cat's seat on this issue. He's forewarned the Nation that we're headed for the reefs if the debt limit isn't increased. That our Country will face disaster; seniors may not get their SS checks if those dastardly Republicans have their way. I think the pressure and fear of being held responsible by the American Public (thus impacting the 2012 Elections for the Repubs)will cause the Conservatives to give in. I hope not ... for the sake of our future and that of my grandkids.

Ditto Sir.

I do not, for the life of me, understand how the GOP can said..."We face disaster if we don't raise the debt ceiling" when we face and unparalleled catastrophe if we do.

We know what the dems are, and their intent is obvious.

You betcha I hold the GOP responsible for being gutless and being unwilling to fight with words to defend what people have really shed real blood over...and I suppose, might have to again in some circumstances, with the smiles and blessings of our Founders.

As Adams put it: "We're in a war, dammit! We're going to have to offend somebody!"

Indeed...lets put this into perspective:

"Let us contemplate our forefathers and posterity and resolve to maintain the rights bequeathed to us from the former, for the sake of the latter. The necessity of the times, more than ever, calls for our utmost circumspection, deliberation, fortitude, and perseverance. Let us remember that 'if we suffer tamely a lawless attack upon our liberty, we encourage it, and involve others in our doom.' It is a very serious consideration that millions yet unborn may be the miserable sharers of the event." --Samuel Adams speech, 1771

God bless

Republicans, we the people stand behind you. Remember the words of Captain Parker of the Minute Men at Lexington in 1775. If Obama and his liberal Democrats mean to have a war, let it begin here! I'm a senior. If not getting a lousy monthly check means puncturing Obama's overbloated ego and starting the country toward economic sanity, then do it!!

Excellent point, Mr. Limbaugh!

I am flabbergasted by the House GOP; why haven't they begun investigations into the Administration?

You have the New Black Panther thing, you have Gun Runner, you have the Administration's willful refusal to obey court orders, etc. They should have launched investigations into all of this. Obama should have been put on the defensive. He is in the driver's seat because they let him off the hook too many times.

There are serious grounds for impeaching Mr. Obama, and while that won't happen now the investigations should at least commence to shine the light on the cockroaches. The GOP is, of course, afraid to do this because Obama is a black man and they're afraid of the racism charge.

Cowards.

I agree that this regime is out of control. The only way to defeat a bully is to stand up against him, fight and win.

The GOP RINOs keep trying to placate Obama. That's never worked in the past (just ask Bush 41!). Call Obama's bluff. If Obama tells SecTreas Geithner NOT to send the SocSec checks out in August, demand impeachment.

Oh for goodness sakes, the trite phrases, posturing, and out-and-out lies just become more than disturbing.

The obstruction, which is happening in Washington is peurile. The hatred of our President is appalling, and I for one, am tired of these lies, printed again and again

Cantor and crew are the egotists!

Do you live under a rock? If not then how can you say everyone, except Obama, tells out and out lies?

The hatred for Obama is due to his lies and his working as hard and fast as he can to transform America into a socialist country after he bankrupts America.

Stop being blinded by Obama's smoke and mirror agenda, he is an intrinsic fraud. If you don't believe me, for your own sake, do some darn research so you can learn about the person you're defending, especially since it's quite apparent you have no idea what your talking about.

Articals of impeachment should already be on the table. The congress needs to stop being afraid because Obama is half black, he is also half white. Obama wants to destroy America and he, Pelosi and Reid have done their best to bring America down.

So far they haven't done to bad of a job considering Americans didn't realize the full potentiality of what is happening to America...until now.

Treason...Look up the definition of that word, and then consider what politicians fit that description..
