Barack Hussein Canute

[The Rabbi]

In popular lore King Canute could command the waves not to come in on shore. Similarly Obama has taken a page and determined he can make things happen merely by commanding them. So during the oil spill he snapped at BP "Just plug the damn hole" like no one had considered that or had been working on it.
So today to solve the debt ceiling issue he tells the GOP "Just get it done."
Now, the GOP is not the problem. They have written a budget, that the Senate will not consider. They have proposed a "clean" debt ceiling rise, which was defeated largely by the Democrats in the House.
But Obama somehow believes he can resolve the issue just by telling people to resolve it. He is pitiful. He is out of ideas. Out of negotiating strategy. And with any luck out of time for a second term.

"You stay here. Let's get it done," he all-but-lectured lawmakers, holding open the possibility of keeping Congress in Washington unless there is significant progress by week's end on a deal to cut deficits, raise the $14.3 trillion debt limit and avert a threatened financial crisis.

He said a plan must be in place by Aug. 2, a date he called "a hard deadline."
