GOP Rep. Mick Mulvaney Says Obama Is Acting Like His High School Girlfriend

Rep. Mick Mulvaney (R-S.C.) said Wednesday that President Barack Obama reminded him of a girlfriend he had in high school after the president called the House speaker to reiterate that he would not negotiate over budget issues until House Republicans pass a bill funding the government and increasing the debt ceiling.

"He called John Boehner (R-Ohio) yesterday to tell him he wasn't negotiating with him," Mulvaney told conservative news outlet Newsmax. "I had a girlfriend call me in high school and tell me that she was giving me the silent treatment; that's sort of what it sounded like."

Mulvaney's comparison was a new one for congressional Republicans, who have insisted on concessions from Democrats to reopen the government and raise the debt ceiling, which will be reached on Oct. 17.

Obama has said he is willing to negotiate with congressional Republicans over budget issues after they pass a debt ceiling increase and resolution to fund the government. He said Tuesday that he was willing to accept even a short-term deal and negotiate with Republicans.

I'm going to guess that he didn't even have a girlfriend in high school.

Is there no respect for the office anymore? What a message to send to the world. That is not leadership. Cursing seems appropriate, but I will wait to reach a thousands posts and prove my sanity first.

What did Obama do to these guys to deserve this? They want to impeach him so badly. Haters....that is disrespectful....$&@!! you Mulvaney....sorry

And stop fantasizing about being with Obama!
