1. "Stop acting like RepubliCon A-holes." - CEOs

"Sheeeesh. Why do you brown-nosing, bent-knee RepubliCon political hacks HATE America? Why are you trying to make American FAIL? You are behaving like a Pack O' Disgustipating Dipshits (R). Try doing something FOR America and FOR Americans for once."

- CEOs

"Today, more than 400 CEOs and business association leaders sent a letter to President Barack Obama and Congress urging them “to pull together rather than pull apart” and reach a deal to raise the federal government’s $14.3 trillion debt limit. If that doesn’t happen by August 2, the federal government will begin defaulting on its debts, according to the Treasury Department."
