During the 2008 campaign, the media pushed the no drama Obama theme. They lauded Barack Hussein Obama’s apparent calm during the 2008 financial crisis as opposed to John McCain’s panic. The truth is that the reason Obama was calm was because he knew an economic meltdown helps him politically. Well this no drama Obama theme was, once again, another Progressive lie.
After his inauguration, he told Republicans that elections have consequences. At the Obamacare summit, he got nasty with John McCain and reminded him he had lost the election. When Eric Cantor and Paul Ryan drilled him and pointed out his budget numbers were a lie, he cracked and got nasty. The truth is he’s a nasty person and very thinned skin. Well in the recent debt ceiling negotiations, Obama once again got nasty with Eric Cantor. He even walked out like a brat!
President Barack Obama abruptly walked out of a stormy debt-limit meeting with congressional leaders Wednesday, a dramatic setback to the already shaky negotiations.
“He shoved back and said ‘I’ll see you tomorrow’ and walked out,” House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.) told reporters in the Capitol after the meeting.
[...]
When Cantor said the two sides were too far apart to get a deal that could pass the House by the Treasury Department’s Aug. 2 deadline — and that he would consider moving a short-term debt-limit increase alongside smaller spending cuts — Obama began to lecture him.
“Eric, don’t call my bluff,” the president said, warning Cantor that he would take his case “to the American people.” He told Cantor that no other president — not Ronald Reagan, the president said — would sit through such negotiations.
[...]
On exiting the room, Obama said that “this confirms the totality of what the American people already believe” about Washington, according to a Democratic official familiar with the negotiations, and that officials are “too focused on positioning and political posturing” to make difficult choices.
Read the rest: President Obama abruptly walks out of debt ceiling talks
Obama can’t take pressure. Bibi Netanyhu, Donald Trump and now Eric Cantor have proven that when you confront him he cracks. This man should never have been President. He is like a child and throws tantrums when he doesn’t get his way. Rather than try to reason with the GOP, he sticks to his ideological tax increase stance. Clearly he is not serious about getting our debt under control.
This should be a lesson to his future Republican opponent. Just attack Obama and he will crack!

From the prior thread:
Flounce From the Meeting
—apologies to “Waltzing Matilda”
Faced with debt ceiling, Obama met with Congressmen
Although he did so very reluctantly
“Don’t call my bluff,” he snarled at Eric Cantor
And flounced from the meeting most indignantly
Flounced from the meeting, flounced from the meeting
Flounced from the meeting most indignantly
“Don’t call my bluff,” he snarled at Eric Cantor
And flounced from the meeting most indignantly
Down knelt Chris Matthews to worship at his idol’s loins
“It’s due to the President’s pigment,” said he
“Any opposition to his will has a racial base,
“That’s why he flounced out most indignantly.”
It’s due to pigment that he was indignant
That’s why he flounced out most indignantly
Any opposition to his will has a racial base,
That’s why he flounced out most indignantly
Down comes the deadline imposed by Timothy Geithner
And still we don’t know what the outcome will be
But this President has no interest in compromise
That’s why he flounces out indignantly
That’s why he flounces, that’s why he flounces
That’s why he flounces out indignantly
This President has no interest in compromise
That’s why he flounces out indignantly
He flounced? Cantor should have bid him adieu!
I laugh when Obama invokes Reagan. It’s such a joke.

Another repost from prior thread…
Great interview here: Hugh Hewitt and Jeb Hensarling, Chairman of the GOP Budget Conference regarding the pouty POTUS.
Right at the beginning…
Hewitt: What’s the situation today?
Hensarling: (laughs) Well I can tell ya, America will be better off when we get a new president, I can tell ya that much.
Clop, Clop, Clop,,,,

Think of Obama as the sulky five-year-old who throws a tantrum when he lands the thimble on Boardwalk with two hotels, and kicks over the game board.
His “don’t call my bluff” to Cantor was not the statement of a strong or confident man. A strong man doesn’t tell you he’s bluffing, and if he is he is aware that showing confidence is essential to getting what you want. Obama, by contrast, was warning that he’s capable of any sort of vindictive petulance when he’s crossed.
If Cantor has a puppy, he’d better make sure it’s safe.

@ buzzsawmonkey:
If Obama doesn’t get what he wants (essentially a blank check and tax hikes), then he is quite capable of causing the US to default out of spite. He is the Executive. The spending is in his unworthy hands. He can instruct Geithner to prioritize it for austerity or he can instruct him to prioritize it for political impact. I think I know which way Obama will prioritize things.

He was bluffing? You mean like: If you don’t let me ruin the economy then I’m going to ruin the economy?
Geez, what do we have to lose? Any compromise with the democrats will lead to a worse economy, so what is there to compromise on? How fast we are going to crash? We are headed off the cliff, we see it coming. Some want to put on the brakes and stop the car, others want to accelerate. I guess Obama says: Let’s just slow down just a little, but for heaven’s sake don’t stop!
@ father_of_10:
He doesn’t want to slow down in any significant way, he just wants to put out a nice press release for the rubes. He still has the debt accelerator all the way to the floor.

The debt limit is not the priority in this show. This is as pure a political battle as it can get. This is the Obamacare legislation all over again. The only difference being, the Republicans havbe the majority. The public at large, clearly does not want any more spending. The average guy does not comprehend the inside baseball aspect of this debate, but he understands the credit card bill comes due sooner or later.
There is no doubt whatsoever in my mind, Obama would be perfectly fine with allowing default to happen. Quite frankly, that is Cloward / Piven right in front of us if we are willing to acknowledge it. In some respects, I think this is probably orchestrated to reach such a crescendo, followed by the media in unison shouldering the blame on the Republicans for opposing it.
This day is working out well for me. I just found a dollar in the building’s lobby.
