Obama EFFS-UP Again on Boehner-Obama Debt Deal

The jug-eared First Cretin is scored in Bob Woodward's new book, The Price of Politics. Here's some money paragraphs, from ABC's sneak peek of its prevue.
The book, "The Price of Politics," on sale Sept. 11, 2012, shows how close the president and the House speaker were to defying Washington odds and establishing a spending framework that included both new revenues and major changes to long-sacred entitlement programs. [But as background before the 2010 GOP landslide,] with the president taking charge, though, Obama found that he had little history with members of Congress to draw on. His administration's early decision to forego bipartisanship for the sake of speed around the stimulus bill was encapsulated by his then-chief of staff, Rahm Emanuel: "We have the votes. F--- 'em," he's quoted in the book as saying.

But at a critical juncture, with an agreement tantalizingly close, Obama pressed Boehner for additional taxes as part of a final deal -- a miscalculation, in retrospect, given how far the House speaker felt he'd already gone.

The president called three times to speak with Boehner about his latest offer, according to Woodward. But the speaker didn't return the president's phone call for most of an agonizing day, in what Woodward calls a "monumental communications lapse" between two of the most powerful men in the country.

When Boehner finally did call back, he jettisoned the entire deal. Obama lost his famous cool, according to Woodward, with a "flash of pure fury" coming from the president; one staffer in the room said Obama gripped the phone so tightly he thought he would break it.

"He was spewing coals," Boehner told Woodward, in what is described as a borderline "presidential tirade."

"He was pissed…. He wasn't going to get a damn dime more out of me. He knew how far out on a limb I was. But he was hot. It was clear to me that coming to an agreement with him was not going to happen, and that I had to go to Plan B."

Obama is a foolish prick and a total asshole. On top of it all, a shitty president. He makes Jimmy Carter look like JFK in comparison. And just to show you how far up his own ass Obama's head is stuck:
The failure of Obama to connect with Boehner was vaguely reminiscent of another phone call late in the evening of Election Day 2010, after it became clear that the Republicans would take control of the House, making Boehner Speaker of the House.

Nobody in the Obama orbit could even find the soon-to-be-speaker's phone number, Woodward reports. A Democratic Party aide finally secured it through a friend so the president could offer congratulations.

Everybody in the country knew the GOP was going to take over the House at the very least. Did this simpleton actually believe Pelosi who was babbling about how the Demonrats were going to keep the House and perhaps gain some seats? And evidently his coterie of cocksuckers and asskissers felt the same? Wow!

He's going to get the shit kicked out of him this November and never know what hit him.
