Red lines, negotiations, and President Obama

Overheard a sure Faux News talking point that the President will negotiate with Putin, but not the GOP in the House, and the only Red Line he won't cross is the President's declaration he won't negotiate the debt ceiling.

Well--let's see. Who posses the greatest threat to America, Putin, or Teabaggers who threaten to crash the entire economy because they don't like the fact that health care has been offered to Americans who either couldn't afford it, or couldn't qualify for it before.

Teabaggers are the true threat, and are arsonists in the House of Democracy.

constitute an immediate threat to the safety and well being of our country. Last I checked Putin isn't threatening our security in any meaningful way.
