‘Let’s Get it Done’ Thursday

Here’s an update on POTUS’ challenge to Congress to join him in taking on the debt ceiling impasse without delay.

President Obama Yesterday:

“They’re in one week, they’re out one week, and then they’re saying, ‘Obama’s got to step in — you need to be here?’ I’ve been here,” he said “You stay here. Let’s get it done.”

And today:

null

Harry Reid did cancel the Senate’s vacation next week, but something tells me the president’s upcoming weekend and week of the 4th will be chock full of golf.

In a related story, Mark Halperin has apologized for using Sen. Durbin’s first name to describe what he thought about Obama’s press conference performance yesterday.

Apropos flashback quote: “Whatever scum did this, not one man on this force will rest for one minute until he’s behind bars. Now, let’s grab a bite to eat.” –Lt. Frank Drebin

    Did Halperins punishment orders come directly from the White House? Sure does seem so.

    Carney called Halperin’s bosses..

    Update: Here are some more examples of MSNBC’s high level of discourse:

    Keith Olbermann saying conservative columnist Michelle Malkin would be a “mashed up bag of meat with lipstick on it” without her “fascistic hatred”:

    Here’s another example.

    “You’re damn right, Dick Cheney’s heart’s a political football,” Schultz said in remarks recorded by the media blog Radio Equalizer. “We ought to rip it out and kick it around and stuff it back in him.”

    It really is a sad little existence for these people. And even sadder to hear them describe their delusional belief that their work is so very vital.

    This is exactly why Media Matters should be audited.

    Green eyed Lady,

    I respectfully asked questions of Retiredtopo here and again here with no response. Obviously, he is your standard seagull troll. Swoop and poop. Incapable of conducting an intelligent debate, he must resort to talking points and vitriol.

    Oh no…it looks like the Dems may be trying to sucker Boehner in again like they did with the last continuing resolution.Let’s hope Boehner doesn’t fall for it once again.

    Dems = Lucy
    Budget = football
    Boehner = Charlie Brown

    ’nuff said.

    Just noticed that even though Obama scolded Congress for wanting to go on vacation this weekend he just left town for the weekend to the Presidential retreat….

    What? You were honestly expecting King Putt to work this weekend? A holiday weekend no less?

    As you write, King Putt scolded CONgress, thus he did his job. It was really hard. Now he’s gotta recover from that stress for several days.

    What a fracking moron you are. I’ve read your naive comments here and there and always think it would be a waste of time to respond to someone so incredibly foolish.
    With the history of Urkel taking so many golf outings over his term,, significantly more than any other POTUS, along with his other non-golf vacations, (including to another liberal haven this weekend, yet he whines about others) and with what Moochelle has put on the taxpayers tab for her personal taxpayer funded vacations, your suggestion that Boehner may be on a vacation is just ludicrous and shows how shockingly ignorant fracking stupid you are.

    Do you seriously believe someone might believe your tripe?

    My significant concern is that you actually vote. Given your lunatic advocacy for the left shown by your hypocritical comments about the right, unless you donate 100% of your earnings to Urkel, you are a hypocrite yourself.

    …yet still a typical leftist.

    Hey, if your normal liberal guilt causes you to donate whatever assets you have in your possession to the federal government, I might revise my opinion. Otherwise, STFU!

    To the original question. Given the public statement of that jackass you support, why is he not staying in Washington to do something about it.

    Is it so the left can blame the Republicans for the eventual default?
