NOT WHILE I'M PRESIDENT

"Not while I'm President"

Has he finally grown a pair? 

I liked The President's speech yesterday on the debt very much. He has drawn a stark distinction between two vastly different visions for America and a line in the sand when it comes to Medicare, Social Security and the Bush Tax cuts for the very wealthiest Americans. Now, for the sake of our country, for what it can and should be, he needs to show some backbone and call their bluff.

If Republicans and tea partiers want to shut down the government or have the United States of America default on its debt (unthinkable) in blind pursuit of their radical agenda it is not something that the American people will soon forget in the many Novembers to come. It is not something the world will forget. It would be a catastrophic event that would make Fukushima look simple.

I am convinced that theirs is a house of cards and as such will all come tumbling down around them. My concern is that all of us are not injured by the debris.
