"The boy who cried 'Wolf'!"

I'm trying to put myself in the president's place - if I'm having a birthday, turning 50 no less, would I really have coast-to-coast party/fundraisers after the country was TEETERING ON COLLAPSE?? I mean come on!! I know the Democrats have zero class but that is RIDICULOUS! Is it really time to party??! After all of the bickering of the blithering idiots, and going down to the 11th hour - no, make that the 11:59 hour - and then sign the thing (raising of debt ceiling) and then head off to parties?? Totally disgusting.

It just shows me it was never as serious as the media made it sound...
