Bad News with a silver lining

[Esquilax]

Do you... seriously not see any difference between a threat and actually doing it?

If Obama had no intention of carrying thru with his threat as you suggest....then he was lying to congress and the American people.......

Or... or, and follow me on this, he realized how fucking petty and detrimental to the American people doing that would be, and changed his position, rather than barreling over the cliff's edge to win rhetorical points via selling that self flagellation as some kind of irreparable inability to compromise.
