"Pull off the Band Aid. Eat Our Peas." :???: :???: :loser: :mental: :bird: :bs:
Obama tells Republicans it’s time to ‘pull off the Band-Aid’ on debt talks
By Holly Bailey | The Ticket – 2 hrs 1 min ago
President Obama challenged Republicans to deliver on their rhetoric about wanting to deal with the nation's debt and deficit problems, insisting that "now is the time to deal with these issues."
In a White House news conference just hours before he's set to meet again with congressional leaders on the $14.3 trillion debt ceiling, Obama warned that if Republicans failed to compromise on a solution, it could further depress the nation's already struggling economy and "throw millions of more people out of work."
The president emphasized that he will not sign a short-term, stop-gap effort to raise the debt ceiling. He instead pressed for a way to solve the problem for a "long stretch of time," calling on lawmakers from both sides to "step up" and make compromises on an essential issue before 2012 politics gets in the way.
"We might as well do it now. Pull off the Band-Aid. Eat our peas," Obama said. "If not now, when?"

How about YOU stop spending, spending, spending? Trillion-plus deficitics for three years in a row and this ****ing goober wants to toss out a couple of glib phrases like some sort of elder sage.
Please. Someone put the adults back in charge. This child is embarassing.

He wants a long term solution. IMO, they've raised it too many times during his term already.
