During today’s absurd press conference on the debt ceiling, President Obama evidently decided that we just aren’t smart enough to understand just how debt works.
Obama is still talking to Chuck Todd (and America) as if we're children.—

You don’t go out to dinner, he said, eat all you want, and leave without paying the check:

That’s how the GOP wants to do it:

In order to simplify things for us rubes and bring things down to a level even we can understand, he compared our precarious situation to a choice between restaurants.
When it comes to balancing budgets, nations are not families. But nations might be people who go out to dinner.—

After years of hearing that U.S. finances are different from household finances, Obama compares debt issue to restaurant check.—

We’ve got to be smart about this:

Too bad Obama has such expensive tastes.
you don't go out dinner and spend a trillion dollars more than you have?—

You could see the wheels turning when Obama threw out the restaurant analogy. Oh crap! Maybe we shouldn't go out when broke! #TGDN #tcot—

Obama says you can't go to a restaurant & order whatever you want & not pay the bill? Correct, Sir, so why R U "ordering" whatever you want?—

President Obama is really using a restaurant analogy? Maybe America had an eating problem, O?—

Obama totally fails trying 2 make a "going out to dinner" analogy. You @BarackObama have been out to lunch for four years and left the bill!—

Apparently Obama is hungry.—

For more of our money. He needs to fund his party habit, after all.
Obama: "I like a good party." Also, he likes for the taxpayers to pick up the tab.—

If this is the way he parties, I think I'd rather party with someone else.—
