From President Obama this afternoon regarding the upcoming debt limit confrontation:
"While I will negotiate over many things, I will not have another debate with this Congress about whether or not they should pay the bills they have already racked up," Obama said in remarks in the White House.
Very well crafted, Mr. President.....
But.......
Ultimately, quite worthless.
Since.....
...I will not have another debate with this Congress...
renders it meaningless, since 'this' Confgress ceases to exist tomorrow.
So you will be able to hem and haw and give in and give away who knows what entitlements that will hurt children, seniors, the disabled, the unemployed, etc. when the "next" Congress comes at you in a matter of weeks.......
Of course, you could have said 'Congress" instead of 'this Congress', but then we would have something to hold you to.
I am hoping I am not merely letting the Toby Zeigler side of my personae override my continual hope........
