So if the Republicans REALLY want to play hardball on the debt-limit - then President Obama should hold them accountable and put their favorite programs on the chopping block first. That could mean cutting off payments to John Boehner's F-35 pet project, no payments to the bomb-making factory in Oklahoma, no welfare payments to the Oil, Coal, and Natural Gas industries, and close all federal buildings named after Ronald Reagan, whose policies brought us this disaster. Once folks in Eric Cantor's Virginia district - home to the headquarters of most of our nation's defense contractors - see their payments cut off - you can bet Cantor will have a new interest in raising the damn debt ceiling. So let's put the real consequences of their obstructionism in their face - and watch the Republicans blink. And in the meantime - we can sit back and watch people's heads explode in the Republican echo-chamber.

Poetic Justice. This is an excellent idea. To say it's going to be an interesting next few days/weeks leading up to the final des tination would be an understatement.

This is a wonderful idea, but it would require Obama to actually have a working set of testicles. And he has demonstrated with painful clarity, on many occasions, that he is woefully lacking in that vital component of man-tackle.
