Obama: Eat our Peas

Gee - this White House sure is obsessed with our digestion, aren't they? EAT YOUR ARUGULA! 2 Trillion in taxes is insanity and will never pass - not now, not ever.


Obama On Deficit Talks: Time To "Pull Off The Band-Aid, Eat Our Peas"(Real Clear Politics)

"I will not sign a 30-day or a 60-day or a 90-day extension. That is just not an acceptable approach. And if we think it's hard now, imagine how these guys are going to be thinking six months from now in the middle of election season when they are all up. It's not going to get easier, it's going to get harder. So, we might as well do it now. Pull off the band-aid. Eat our peas. Now is the time to do it. If not now, when? We keep on talking about this stuff, and we have these high-minded pronouncements about how we've got to get control of the deficit, how we owe it to our children and our grandchildren. Well, let's step up. Let's do it," President Obama said at his press conference today.
