to turn the president's word back on him. Too drunk to get the punch line right! Someone needs to take an empty bottle count in his digs! He may not be fit to hold his position anymore.

turned on him. Obviously they will make comparisons between Obama's lengthy and patient response.

of a man, he.

The doctor I saw today is a republican. He asked me what I thought of Speaker Boner? I said, "A prostitute with an unattractive package to peddle." He thought that I was being too kind.

So clear that default was always the end game. He has gone straight to the grand bargain, or whatever he is pretending to care about. ACA wasn't even mentioned. These guys are such shysters.

They want to throw the whole thing overboard and see what they get out of it. Damage Obama, say he owns the wounded economy and call it a great moment in Tea Party history.

You can't negotiate with people who want to slash and burn the government. Boehner never seemed to be that type, now he does.
