Obama Takes Ball, Goes Home

President Obama, showing that he is pretty much a cry baby when he doesn't get his way, walked out of the budget talks and went home.
From Politico: President Barack Obama abruptly walked out of a stormy debt-limit meeting with congressional leaders Wednesday, a dramatic setback to the already shaky negotiations, according to GOP sources.
“He shoved back and said ‘I’ll see you tomorrow’ and walked out,” House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.) told reporters in the Capitol after the meeting.
On a day when the Moody’s rating agency warned that American debt could be downgraded, the White House talks blew up amid a new round of sniping between Obama and Cantor, who are fast becoming bitter enemies.
When Cantor said the two sides were too far apart to get a deal that could pass the House by the Treasury Department’s Aug. 2 deadline — and that he would consider moving a short-term debt-limit increase alongside smaller spending cuts — Obama began to lecture him.
“Eric, don’t call my bluff,” the president said, warning Cantor that he would take his case “to the American people.” He told Cantor that no other president — not Ronald Reagan, the president said — would put up with the treatment he was getting from the House majority leader.

Several thoughts: Why is Obama personally involved in these talks and taking charge when he cannot vote on the bill? Harry Reid should be the one negotiating, not Obama.
And Obama complains that about the treatment he was getting and no other president would put up with it is just false. Look at all the crap the Democrats gave George Bush when he was president. Talk about being disrespectful. Every word that came out of Harry Reid when he talked about Bush was disrespectful.
But Obama is such a narcissist, that he cannot stand anyone saying no to him. He has never had anyone stand up to him in his life and now that someone has, he doesn't like it.
Poor baby.
