President Barack Obama is demanding a $1.1 trillion "ransom"--or else he will not allow the debt ceiling to be raised. That's the effective offer on the table from the president and Senate Democrats. They have now refused to pass a "clean" short-term debt ceiling hike unless Republicans agree to reverse the "sequester" spending cuts in the 2011 Budget Control Act that were enacted--at Obama's suggestion--to end the last debt ceiling crisis.

This reminds me of what happened in Honduras when their pres tried to shove something that was contrary to their constitution, and so the military went right in and ousted his butt outa there..
And when it happened the media and Hillary and others were demonizing the Honduran military for defending their constitution, calling what they were doing illegal... pathetic..
What we have in the USA right now is pure evil dictating it's whims to the world. All of them like zombies looking for brains to feed on.

It's not a law. If it were a law, EVERYONE would be subject to it. There would be no exemptions.
This is more of a hostage situation than the whole debt ceiling crud going on.

Once again, this just shows how small, weak, petty and pathetic the president is.
Obama is a small little bully.

Dignity has gone straight out the window with politicians. Locker room talk... could you imagine?
The memory of the media plays a huge part. Special arrangements between broadcasters and political bodies, makes it difficult to hold anyone's feet to the fire.
