Barack Obama

strategy, I also have to wonder if they haven't had some hope of causing a default so they could blame it on him as an excuse for impeachment. They just didn't expect the road to that dream to be so rocky. Now they realize it's a no-win situation. Except for Cruz' teabaggers, who apparently WANT a ruined America as their easiest path to dictatorship. Then Cruz could proclaim himself 'president for life' like the fascist he is. All for the 'good' of the country they 'love' so much, of course.

I'm willing to bet your house and even mine that's what they'd do, given the chance. And then indeed we'd have riots worse than anything seen before.

Thank God I also don't believe Democrats will let it come to that. I believe President Obama especially will take anything they throw at him and turn it into the last victory they could've imagined. HE reads the country far, far better than they.
