Obama: No, I Didn’t Storm Out Of The Debt Ceiling Talks (VIDEO)
Obama: No, I Didn’t Storm Out Of The Debt Ceiling Talks (VIDEO)

Hey, remember when House Majority Leader Eric Cantor said President Obama walked out of the debt talks yesterday? So, yeah -- Obama says that never happened.

"No," Obama told Cox TV's Scott McFarlane in an interview Thursday. "At the end of the meeting, what I said to the group was what the American people feel: We have a responsibility to do the right thing. We shouldn't be partisan, we should solve problems."

The interview was one of a few sit-downs Obama did with local television reporters from across the country today. In addition to the interview with McFarlane, he spoke to TV stations in Philadelphia and Washington, DC.

Watch the raw, uncut Cox TV interview (on the link)below:

1. Boehner apparently doesn't agree with Cantor

Speaker Boehner Plays Down Obama ‘Storming Out’ Of Debt Meeting: ‘It Was Fine’

Much ado has been made of the reportedly dramatic exit President Obama made from the budget talk meeting last night, and while several attendees, including House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, have noted that his exit was “abrupt,” today on On the Record House Speaker John Boehner made nothing of the situation, noting that, like everyone else, the President was “frustrated,” but that his exit was “fine.”

3. That's what I think too.
I think Cantor exaggerated the story, and that is why he was told by someone to STFU - and Cantor didn't say anything at all during the meeting on Thursday :)
