You are PARTIALLY correct. The conversation in which this statement took place was in context concerning the Bush tax cuts...which you did not mention.

He DID, however, continue and say what you are saying.....IN THE CONTEXT of the liberal agenda being pursued by Obama

"First and foremost, we're not going to be willing to work with him on the expansive liberal agenda he's been about, but if he is serious about working with us on things like earmarks, for instance -- which he said he would work with me on that -- I'm absolutely hopeful we can do that. I hope he calls Harry Reid the first thing to get the Senate to go along with the House position."

The quote you attribute to him, in my opinion and the way I read it was all about the Bush tax cuts...

"I would say, Chris, it's as much his responsibility," said Cantor in response to a question from Fox News Sunday host Chris Wallace about who will be to blame for a government shutdown or a default on the debt. "In fact, he is the one who sets the agenda as the chief executive and as the president of this country."

Cantor also made clear that if there's going to be any compromise, it's going to have to come from Obama, who has said he is willing to work with Republicans. Cantor, however, said that Republicans will work with Obama only if he agrees with them 100 percent.


When you read the entire article, you find that the most damning are in conversation about the Bush tax cuts..this in fact is the headline..

"Eric Cantor Opposes Compromise On Extending Bush Tax Cuts, Says Government Shutdown Will Be Obama's Fault "

I implore you if you want to discuss things, keep it in context and dont just say stuff ! PLEASE

As far as if it bodes well for us, why dint you wait and see. The country has told this President that they dint like his health care bill, that they dint like the progressive agenda and he has IGNORED them. Perhaps it is time to stand tall and say that you have to listen !

I hope that in the future should you want to post something like this you will post it in its entirety and in context so that folks can see what is really going on instead more of the left leaning rhetoric which has already begun. The same thing goes for both sides, by the way but this is post of yours is pretty far away from the facts in this case. When someone, even you, says something and it is quoted, it should be placed in some context, or if you dint agree, I will post a great many of Obama quotes on liberalism, socialism, communism, etc, but out of context is not fair,now is it ?
