Here is proof that Obama is doing nothing to help in the debt ceiling debate:

I went to a news portal, a liberal news portal by the name of Memeorandum (correct spelling, btw). Here are all the headlines recorded on that site at 7:15 pm this afternoon pertaining to the budget crisis. Scroll down and actually look at each headline. No need to click and read the related stories . . . just read the headlines while answering the question: "What is missing."

Take a moment.

Now, if you have not figured it out, here is what is missing: there are no stories reviewing the Obama/Reid plan. Why? Because the CBO (Congressional Budget Office) has only received one plan to score and that is the House plan to "cut, cap and . . . . .," whatever.

Understand that it is not a "plan" if the so-called cuts are not spelled out, if the plan has not been submitted to the Budget Office for a financial review called "scoring." Lets not forget that in February of this year, Obama came up with a plan that promised to cut 400 billion dollars over the course of ten years which is 40 billion per year. The interest on our debt is approximately 30 billion PER MONTH. The Obama/February plan was such a ridiculous presentation that it failed in the Senate by an embarrassing margin of 97 to 0. No one voted for the thing. Not one Democrat; not one Republican; not a single White House janitor or any member of the Obama family. NO ONE. I believe this might be the first time in history that a Presidential budget proposal failed to garner a single Senate vote. He tried it again in April and the CBO refused to score it, saying "We cannot estimate a speech." And now, this clown in our White House is indicating that he is willing to take this nation over the edge because he thinks he wins if he can manufacture a crisis. He alone makes the decision to default. Keep that in mind.

He is doing nothing. That is the fact and the lack of headlined stories reviewing his efforts is proof of what we are saying.
