President Obama is wiping the floor with House Republicans. In Missouri he said, ‘They want to threaten default just to make sure that tens of millions of Americans continue not to have health care.’
President Obama handed John Boehner the ultimate humiliation today by laughing off Speaker of the House’s threat that the president must negotiate on the debt ceiling or else.
President Obama took one of the Republican Party’s favorite lines of attack, and turned it around on them by telling the House GOP that their debt ceiling demands are unconstitutional.
Instead of taking a fiscal cliff victory lap, President Obama used his statement to land the first blows in the debt ceiling debate.
