House Speaker John Boehner is intransigent, NOT President Obama.

...The Obama administration and Boehner's office (click title to entry - thank you) exchanged charges of intransigence in talks aimed at averting a U.S. default Aug. 2 and tackling the nation's $14.3 trillion debt....


I mean, this is a joke.


Intransigent.


Excuse me, but, when the debt ceiling became an issue with Republicans the President wasn't expecting any cuts from Congress.  He was expecting a simple Debt Ceiling increase from Congress to sign.


He has come more than half way, he has come three quarters of the way and STILL TODAY the MOST RECENT Republican proposal gives NOTHING to the President for his willingness to be involved with their family feud.  Even today, Boner needs Democrats to pass the bill.  


Intransigent is NOT what I would label the Democrats or the President.  They have been EXTREMELY accommodating to the hissy fit of the Tea Baggers in order to maintain the USA as a debt worthy nation.


If default happened the dollar would plummet all on its own and then additionally when The Fed start buying back bonds with newly printed currency.  The Republicans are 'late' to the game as they only entered the process in January with their Freshman.  It has been since then that the FUSS all began.  


Intransigent.  There are a group of Republicans and an indulgent Speaker that can carry that label.


WHERE  WERE  THESE 'PLANS' A YEAR AGO, TWO YEARS AGO.  This disaster started with January 2010, who is kidding who about being intransigent.  They enter the House and before they know what they are doing they are following the leadership of the Right Wing 'Puppeteer' Media.  The nation is being lead by the 'ring in the nose Republicans' as they cow to Murdoch and company.
