sigh:

and you know it's all Obama's fault for not giving them something to impeach him with before now!

votes against raising the debt limit. It should not even come to raising the debt limit, it should be automatic since the Fourteenth Amendment states we have to pay our bills.

The optics would make a political disaster even more disasterous for the Republicans.

the universe change on the other side of the looking glass and the Mad Hatter's guests don't see that it is all becoming curiouser and curiouser.

Absurd is their middle name.

Impeachment requires a 2/3rds majority in the Senate to convict. Also known as 67 votes. Not gonna happen.

Meanwhile, the Republicans would announce that they are trying to get rid of the President for saving the world economy. That's not really gonna play well outside the teabaggers. And the teabaggers alone aren't aren't enough for Republicans to hold the House.

but he's definitely 'aware' of it.

So I don't think it's a valid option for Obama to unilaterally pay the debt.

I would disagree.

because of what the big, bad GOP might do is a good idea.

I am not the only one I know who will be instructing investment managers to sell all equities and move to cash positions if Washington doesn't get it's act together. My deadline is 3:00 p.m. EDT tomorrow. I will be sending an e-mail to sell all shares and move to cash at that time as well logging into my 401K and selling all my equities and distributing the funds across my available cash options.

When tens of thousands of Americans (and possibly those outside the U.S.) do the same thing the stock market crash will be a self-fulfilling prophesy. I am not going to let the bastards rob me of the gains I have clawed back since 2008. I will move to cash and when the dust settles I should be able to buy very cheap and ride the market back up (assuming they don't keep the government shut down and not increase the debt ceiling until they are thrown out of office in November of 2014).

There is no alternative. Let them initiate impeachment proceedings--history will not judge him negatively for attempting to save the country from disaster.

They would not convict. Impeachment is a moot point.

will not remove him from office.Impeachment will backfire on republicans If he does it to save country and economy from racist party.
Seniors who depend on SS and disabled who require SSI will be screwed if we default.

1. Obama is a tyrant who unilaterally did stuff to defuse the debt-ceiling.

2a. We won't further dwell into the topic whether defaulting would have been good or bad (so not to piss any republican off and/or inform our viewers) but that Obama prevented this unilaterally, without compromise or negotiation, is clearly wrong.

2b. It's the wrong thing and Obama took it by force after he refused to negotiate with republicans over it.

2c. Republicans were all willing to raise it. He did it himself to make them look bad and the liberal media is helping him.

3. It's an unprecedented power-grab.

4. Now there is nothing left to reign in on government-spending. After the break: The slimdown continues.

Obama declares all government services essential.

Voila.

He will be a hero if he keeps the country from default.

If the republicans try to impeach they will look like the bad guys they really are.

Even republicans get government aid, I am sure many are thinking about their checks not coming in.

The republicans can try to impeach but it won't go very far.

This would be his FDR moment. He would be a hero to many Americans, including Republicans.

He can't run for office again.

I would do this if I was president.

I would tell republicans go ahead and impeach me.

Call their bluff.

People will be so happy to have this mess over even the regular republicans wouldn't care.

Of course the tea baggers will howl at the moon but who cares.

They do have to be exposed for the dangerous people they are.

It took one brave man in the 50's to stand up to another bully.

Most of us don't remember the make believe red scare of the 50's.

TV was just starting to come into homes.

One man had enough and said the famous lines have you no shame.

I need to look up his name, I think it was Welch.

I am sure it is on youtube.

Every group of Americans will have some bully to deal with.

My father was a union man and a strong democrat.

We can't loose this fight.
