DeFazio: Obama about to cave in to GOP on debt ceiling [View All]

From The Hill:

Rep. Peter DeFazio (D-Ore.) on Friday morning complained that President Obama is reportedly pursuing a last-minute agreement with House Republicans that would mostly rely on significant cuts to federal spending as a condition for raising the debt ceiling.

Speaking on the House floor, DeFazio said Obama is reportedly "preparing yet another great cave."

"He cuts taxes to create a crisis, and then we cut spending to protect the tax cuts because tax cuts create jobs, except they haven't created jobs, but we've got to continue to protect them," DeFazio said. "It's all very, very sad."

DeFazio is one of the more vocal critics of the Obama administration, and has caught the attention of Obama himself in past years. DeFazio voted against the 2008 financial bailout and Obama's stimulus program. Obama famously told DeFazio, "Don't think we're not keeping score, brother."

I am a picky flaming Leftie, and I love this man to death. He has never let me down. He is the Real Deal.

To President Obama, right back atcha: "Don't think we're not keeping score, brother."

The President may be keeping score, but so are we!
