Seven days to go before we hit our heads on the debt ceiling. Is there any way out of this mess. There should be a short term deal. Temporary increase in the debt ceiling. Six week clean extension of the debt limit. We cannot waste any mr. Time. There wiz is one hiccup. The government would be shut down. Thats the conversation well have with the president. You need to be able to say what you are asking for. There is no clear indicator. A lot of republicans expressed frustration. Is the government shut down until november 22nd. Dont expect them to go along easily. What is it shut down over . Its spite. Shifting into a shutdown over nothing. Gops favorability rating sunk to an all time low. Not what we asked for.

That home, i looked up the value of the other day 234,000 with taxes of 6,500. That is a snippet of a house 1100 square feet. I say to myself, the Real Estate Market is unsustainable.

Yes. Why is the president not considering Ground Troops at this point that the administration has had troops there, why is that not on the table . Because we dont believe that thats the approach that we should take in this case. We would agree with senator mccain who made that point today that that was his view. What the president was referring to was the question about contemplating air strikes. I have been saying, ultimately the challenge posed by a group like isil has to be met by the iraqy government and iraqy Security Forces. They can be assisted like they have and are being by the United States and other partners. We will review requests for further assistance and other kinds of assistance very closey and obviously in this Current Situation very quickly. Ultimately iraqs future will be decided by the ability of iraqs political leaders to come together in a spirit of unity to deal with all of the challenges that a nation like iraq faces in building its future and specifically in r
