WASHINGTON
— US President Barack Obama
stormed out of tense debt-limit talks Wednesday with his top Republican
foes
after declaring he was ready to stake his reelection on the outcome, a
Republican aide said.
After
Republican House Majority Leader
Eric Cantor proposed to raise the US debt ceiling in more than one
catch-all
vote, Obama got “heated” and insisted on one comprehensive deal, said
the aide,
who requested anonymity.
Obama
said he would not be “afraid to
veto” a short-term approach or “defend it to the American people” and
warned
that a US debt default would amount to “a tax increase on every
American,” said
the aide.
Obama
said “I have reached the point
where I say enough,” and added “I’ve reached my limit. This may bring
my
presidency down, but I will not yield on this,” according to the aide.

Comment...
This
isn’t a surprise to anyone who
has been playing attention to our child president over the past three
years.
The Obama administration has been a veritable Mecca for narcissism and
incompetence from the time Obama took the oath of office.
Now,
for the first time since taking
office, Obama is forced to make a decision that entailed personal risk.
It
isn’t a pretty sight.
