MSNBC said that Obama likes Boehner's proposal.

[grasswire]

Has anyone else heard that?

Or is that "push reporting"?

[AZ Mike]

1. Don't know if it's related, but....

....TPM reported earlier today that the president was "happy" that the GOP was willing to raise the debt ceiling. Probably push reporting.

[cali]

2. if true, not good. in fact, very bad indeed.

[B Calm]

6. If republicans believe that Obama likes it, all talks are off.

sarcasm toward republicans

[sharp_stick]

3. Here's the quote from Carney

"The president is happy that cooler heads at least seem to be prevailing in the House," Carney said at the daily press briefing. He added: "I think the president said the other day, if they were to send him a clean debt ceiling extension, no partisan strings attached he would sign it. But we don't know that's what we're going to get here."

Still waiting to hear what the pukes will actually offer because they tend to say one thing and then randomly flail about to do something completely different.

15. Only sounds to me like there may be a light at the end of the tunnel.

Albeit just a faint one.

It doesn't sound to me like anything Obama would get ecstatic about.

4. ABC News quoting Carney as saying Obama "likely" okay with it.

Sigh. The administration capitulates again. This time surrendering the Constitution.

[Robbins]

7. ABC

They are messing with Carney's quote. Obama and Reid don't like the deal.

8. From #3 above:

"The president is happy that cooler heads at least seem to be prevailing in the House," Carney said at the daily press briefing. He added: "I think the president said the other day, if they were to send him a clean debt ceiling extension, no partisan strings attached he would sign it. But we don't know that's what we're going to get here."

You ready to throw President Obama under the bus due to THIS?

[Barack_America]

14. That quote and Obama's history of surrender make me nervous, yes.

Hell, I was nervous before the quote.

[BlueStreak]

13. The government shutdown would remain. WHAT !!!!!!

Obama can't agree to this -- or can he ???

but only if President Barack Obama first agrees to fresh negotiations on spending cuts. Under the Republican plan, the partial government shutdown would continue in the meantime

[Chan790]

16. That wouldn't be a clean proposal.

I expect him to stand by his word and reject that shit.

[BlueStreak]

20. The teabaggers going to try to shove through the short debt extension

but still leave govt shut down. That would be a total loss for Obama because:

1) It would reward terrorist tactics, and leave the certainty of another terrorist strike in 60 days

2) Government would still be shut down and they will try to just re-open the bits of government they personally like.

He cannot agree to that -- but if I know Obama, he will. I hope he proves me wrong this one time.

5. Who on msnbc said it?

[grasswire]

9. sorry, I was distracted by a 4-year-old...

...using a glue stick to make a cotton ghost. It was during Andrea Mitchell's hour.

[elleng]

11. Thanks, Gotcha!

Watch that glue!

[Xipe Totec]

12. Sounds like highschool dating gossip.

Tricia says she likes you but she's too shy to tell you herself...

[C_U_L8R]

17. Aha... the President whips out the old Inverse Jedi Mind Trick

He says he likes Boehner's proposal
and subsequently Teapublicans lose their shit, gnaw their limbs off
and destroy their own proposal before its even proposed.

Could it be Obama is brilliantly messing with them?

[dorkzilla]

18. They're editorializing as payback for being ignored at the presser. n/t

[grasswire]

19. that could be nt
