Obama needs to be like Boehner

I guess it's time for President Obama to
give up golf. He should be more like Eric Cantor instead. You know, a leader.
Representative Kevin McCarthy, the third-ranking House Republican, said that if there is going to be any resolution to raise the nation’s debt limit and stave off a default, President Barack Obama will have to show some leadership.
“He’s got to get off the golf course, and he’s got to get engaged,” McCarthy said in an interview on Bloomberg Television’s “Political Capital with Al Hunt,” airing this weekend.
McCarthy not only rejected any tax increases as part of an agreement, he insisted that limitations on Medicare must be included in a bipartisan deal.
Congressman McCarthy is absolutely right. President Obama needs to get off the golf course. And come to think of it, that's exactly what Speaker Boehner should have told him when they went golfing last weekend.
