Geithner can cut other federal spending to avoid a default but won't because Obama is using this debit limit debate as leverage for his push for an entitlment state which is at 25% of GDP and they want finances to make that permanent. Obama has repeatedly shown he can't be trusted. His goal is to damage Republicans and slow down their push for 2012.

I believe Mitch McConnell is correct. Leave Obama to his own devices and let him own his mistakes. That is certainly one way to get him off this kick of blaming Bush

Because no matter how you slice it Obama will get his way because Republican have only control of the House and odds are that many Repubicans will back down with these predictable scare tactics by Obama of Grandma losing er social security checks, etc. Now does that sound likme Obama is behaving like an adult.

In a very critical time in American history when we needed a talented inspirational and gifted statesman and leader we vote in this---------------
