Obama Tries A New Plan: Make A Speech
A few minutes from now at the White House.
Why didn't he think of this sooner?
CNN says Harry Reid announced that he's filing cloture for his plan, so he can start moving that through the Senate early Sunday morning. It's been awhile since the Senate has actually done something, I wonder if they had to look up how to actually do this stuff in the rule book.
Meanwhile, GDP felt right the hell off the cliff.
GDP grew at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of just 1.3 percent in the second quarter, lower than expected, according to an advance estimate released by the Bureau of Economic Analysis on Friday. U.S. stock futures fell after the estimate was released.
GDP growth for the first half of the year was the weakest since the recession ended, the Associated Press reported. Real GDP was revised sharply downward from 1.9 percent in the first quarter to 0.4 percent.
Say it with me kids....UNEXPECTEDLY.
BREAKING: Obama says it's now clear any solution must be bi-partisan and be able to pass both the House and the Senate.
This is why he was ConLaw professor lecturer.
Comes out for some hybrid of Reid-McConnell.
Says he will support a smart and balanced (taxes!) mechanism to hold the government accountable. Is he signalling a shift on the two step increase in the debt ceiling?
