The budget the past two years doesn't have anything to do with it. We have a debt crisis. The American economy is facing default.

I worry that maybe they're rooting for America to fail, so that Obama can be defeated.

Big mistake politically in stepping up in that quote we just showed and calling on Weiner to resign.

Eric Cantor today, the Republican Majority Leader, big mistake politically in stepping up in that quote we just showed and calling on Weiner to resign.
