There won't be a default. Obama will finally fold and they will come up with 2 trillion in cuts without any tax increase.
Republicans are more likely to feel Americans' scorn than will President Barack Obama if no resolution is found to the US debt limit crisis, according to a poll released on Thursday.
Quinnipiac University pollsters said 48 percent of voters said they will blame Republicans if the debt ceiling is not raised, as opposed to 34 percent who will fault Obama.

That's because many, many Americans are stupid and they believe the hype and crap coming out of the Oval Office; especially since the mainstream media is doing everything they can to protect the incompetent idiot who is currently occupying that office.
Huh? Fox does nothing but trash him.
I know that when I see Crookshanks in a thread I will have proof that indeed, many Americans are stupid.
the president is proposing a plan that reduces spending and raises revenue coming to the govt. this is the only realistic way to deal with the deficit..Most Americans are smart enough to know this... hence why they will blame the GOP
Oh, and liars. Remember when Crookshanks said she was leaving and then stuck to her word? Yeah, me neither.
if only more celebrities and sports stars would lean to the right.
Stopped reading it right there. It is hard for me to imagine anyone whose analysis or assertions that I would assign less weight to.
If you want to drink that cool-aid, be my guest. Personally, I'm not fond of being told what to think.
If Obama is seriously advocating cuts, the why couldn't he name ONE PROGRAM he would cut this morning when Jake Tapper asked him to give an example of cuts he is proposing?
President Barack Obama said that every federal program and tax break should be scrutinized for potential spending cuts, in his Fourth of July weekend address to the nation Saturday.

In other words, he can't name one specific program that he thinks should be cut. He gives broad promises but no specifics, and you just gobble it up. It's a sound bite, not a plan.
The offer to cut the deficit by $4 trillion, plus put SS and Medicare on the table, didn't impress you?
The president's own caucus was duly impressed but then again, perhaps that's who it was really intended for. Still, GOP could've called that bluff but chose not to.
Why should he tip his hand when Republicans aren't willing to agree to ANY tax raises?
"President Barack Obama said that every federal program and tax break should be scrutinized for potential spending cuts"
He's been saying that since he was Candidate Obama. And the hot potato game continues dot dot dot
because there is a plan already on the table you dumb ass...Weeks of negotiations led by Vice President Joseph Biden have identified deficit-reduction savings in the range of $1.7 trillion to $2 trillion in savings. But that leaves a gap of $400 billion to $700 billion to be filled, and Democrats have argued strongly that revenues must be part of the mix.

I like how they swap "taxes" with "revenue".
GGA, that story you linked stated "updated 7/10". Any changes to that story or is it still on the table as stated?
There is no plan currently on the table.
Nice dodge, btw. I was talking to you.
Obama WANTS to shut the government down and blame it on Congress just like Clinton did. It might work, too.
Says you. I think it's too bad the Republicans didn't take the best deal offered.
