In a meeting with a small group of reporters in his Capitol Hill office this morning, House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, criticized President Obama and White House officials for their lack of resolve in negotiations.
“Dealing with them the last couple months has been like dealing with Jell-o,” Boehner said. “Some days it’s firmer than others. Sometimes it’s like they’ve left it out over night.”
Boehner explained that talks broke down over the weekend because, he said, the president backed off entitlement reforms so much from Friday to Saturday, “It was Jell-o; it was damn near liquid.”

The only loser here is the American people... Our future and the future of our children are in the hands of an incompetent buffoon devoid of a spine and lacking in any practical experience... Barack Hussein Obama couldn't successfully manage a lemonade stand on his own,
U.S. President Barack Obama told Republicans at the conclusion of a stormy budget meeting on Wednesday that he would not yield further even if it puts his presidency at risk, a Republican aide said.
"I have reached the point where I say enough," Obama said, according to the aide. "Would Ronald Reagan be sitting here? I've reached my limit. This may bring my presidency down, but I will not yield on this."

In 1972 McGovern seemed to think government intervention was the solution to most anything.
But in 1992, after voters retired him from politics, McGovern bought and ran the Stratford Inn, a hotel in Connecticut. Out of this experience, McGovern had some new insights to offer: He told a Los Angeles Times reporter that running a business "gives you a whole new perspective on what other people worry about." As Fulford writes: "He now saw for the first time that public policy was choking entrepreneurs by entangling them in impossible red tape and a multitude of laws designed to protect employees, save the environment, keep the customers safe, and raise school taxes. He realized that the politicians who wrote those laws had no idea that they might make it impossible for some businesses to function. He confessed that if he had been in business before politics, he would have handled such matters with more care." McGovern even went as far as to express the (liberal) heresy that there was truth in Calvin Coolidge's dictum: "the business of America is business." www.u-turn.net...
...What does it say about the state of our nation when scalpers can freely make a small fortune selling parking spots to U.S. Open spectators, but if young children try to sell lemonade to help fight pediatric cancer, their operation is closed down by bureaucrats and the kids are fined $500?
According to a local news report, children of some well-to-do families near Bethesda, Md., set up their stand last week in the hopes of bringing in some bucks to help cure an awful disease. Montgomery County officials spotted the stand and swooped in, warning that since the kids didn't have a permit they would have to shut the stand down. When they didn't, the county fined their parents.
"This gentleman from the county is now telling us because we don't have a vendors license, the kids won't be allowed to sell their lemonade,".... www.truthwinds.com...

Jell-o Mr. Speaker? I wouldn't be so generous. Barack Hussein Obama is in way over his head, as are the cronies, handlers, and puppeteers. It seems even the sycophantic press is emerging from the chronic liberal myopia and seeing "The Messiah" for what he really is... "The Fraud."

Republicans are in a retreat in the debt ceiling fight. Whether it will turn into a full-scale surrender remains to be seen. The new plan, proposed by Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, is convoluted, but the bottom line is that it would allow the White House to raise the debt ceiling without specific congressional approval.
