So the perfumed prince of the White House stormed out of a negotiation meeting between him and Congress yesterday, according to a link sent to us by ROS from Politico<\/a>;<\/p>\n

When Cantor said the two sides were too far apart to get a deal that could pass the House by the Treasury Department\u2019s Aug. 2 deadline \u2014 and that he would consider moving a short-term debt-limit increase alongside smaller spending cuts \u2014 Obama began to lecture him.<\/p>\n

\u201cEric, don\u2019t call my bluff,\u201d the president said, warning Cantor that he would take his case \u201cto the American people.\u201d He told Cantor that no other president \u2014 not Ronald Reagan, the president said \u2014 would sit through such negotiations.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Of course, the White House denies that Obama “stormed” out of the room. I don’t know what else you could call it. Picked up his marbles and skittered home? From The Hill<\/a>;<\/p>\n

\u201cThe president could not have been more gracious. I have never seen a president spend so much time with the leadership of Congress day in and day out, respectful of their concerns,\u201d Pelosi added.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

meanwhile, the White House Press Office gave the press corps a “time out” and sent them to nappy without their graham crackers and chocolate milk (from Politico<\/a>);<\/p>\n

\u201cCan I ask you to clarify \u2014 there’s no reporters allowed in today’s meeting because reporters misbehaved?\u201d asked another scribe. \u201cEarlier it sounded like you were punishing us.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I guess everyone in Washington is getting thin-skinned while their ox is being gored.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
