MSNBC says that we have a major stall in talks
Saying boner walked out of the talks
gang of six derailed it, breaking off talks, but we'll see what the white house says
Sharpton saying maybe Boner bowing to pressure from the tea party

The president wants them there at 11 tomorrow
We'll work on plans, we have to extend debt ceiling
The question becomes, where's the leadership?
What can they say yes to? (we all know the answer to that)

[DURHAM D]

1. oh no ...

[MannyGoldstein]

2. Time for 99% of us to share sacrifice.

Stupendous tax cuts for the rest.

[Hissyspit]

3. MSNBC: Boehner breaking off talks.

Sources: Gang of Six deal led to break off.

4. Obamas buying the beer

:beer:

[boomerbust]

5. He was going to agree

To benefit cuts to SS. How fucking sad is that?

[plumbob]

6. More golf? Another beer?

How about getting in Air Force One and flying to local districts and explain that as President, you feel that this elected official is no longer viable at the national level, and everything that can be done to hold federal funds of any kind away from the district will be done until a new, viable representative or Senator is elected.

Until these bastards suffer mightily and personally, nothing is going to change. In fact, Cantor will make millions of dollars in the event of a default, because he is short on Treasury bonds. That ought to be treason. That ought to be rendition, if we're going to have it, anyway. Bag him and disappear him. It's quite crazy that it has come to this - that a corrupt weasel of no individual importance along with a group of freshman knuckleheads who can't draw flies away from Washington would devise a pledge of horror for the nation and make the rest dance to that tune.

Hedge funds are buying all the Treasuries they can get right now, because they know interest rates are about to double or more when the ratings agencies do their crooked dance.

7. Obama admits he was eager to cave. What a pathetic effort at on behalf of the average citizen
