There is talk that Obama may simply usurp the power of Congress and do it himself.  Not ideal, but perhaps better then face a lower credit rating.  I wonder if they'll impeach him over it.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Blow job wasn't the crime, but perjury about having said blow job with the fat chick.

Where did Obama perjure himself, or sell the country to the Mujahiddins?

Looks like the GOP is adding a balanced budget amendment to their bill.  I hope Siege is okay not being payed this month.

Clinton was impeached because Republican who hated him won in Congress.  I mean, that's the real reason.

That's the root cause, but Clinton was impeached for perjury.  He was asked the question because Republicans were elected in an effort to take back the White House.

Edit: The Boehner plan just got its 218th vote.
