Laughter heard throughout the 57 states: Obama tells GOP to drop political rhetoric -- and to stop holding a gun to America's head on debt ceiling

This is the sort of thing that happens when President Alinsky Obama goes off the teleprompter:

President Obama, yesterday: “I’ve asked leaders of both parties and both houses of Congress to come here to the White House on Thursday so we can build on the work that’s already been done and drive towards a final agreement. It’s my hope that everybody is going to leave their ultimatums at the door, that we’ll all leave our political rhetoric at the door.”

President Obama, today: “The debt ceiling should not be something that is used as a gun against the heads of the American people to extract tax breaks for corporate jet owners, for oil and gas companies that are making billions of dollars because the price of gasoline has gone up so high.”

Somewhere, David Axelrod and Valerie Jarrett are fuming.
