Super heavy sigh. Here we go again: New tone! Of course, it’s not just the absurd Jesse Jackson who is trotting out the ludicrous “hostage” notion either.
Republicans need to stop holding our nation's economic stability hostage. It's bad for our country: http://t.co/SzQoLbuHay

Surprise, surprise!
Next up: The White House, fresh on the heels of a WH official referring to “extreme members” of the GOP who are being “reckless” and threatening.

Bingo! The same, and lame, playbook. Take a gander at the play being run:

Pitiful. As that Twitter user said, “grow up.” Alas, it doesn’t look like that will happen any time soon.
@SpeakerBoehner as the WSJ pointed out today, our economy is being held hostage by GOP radicals in the House. Default will > the deficit

#enoughalready House GOP acting like terrorists, holding Americans hostage unless we meet thier demands! We don't bargain with terrorists!

Terrorists. Speaking of negotiating, the sad soul should check out the boom-worthy video from Speaker Boehner. But, you know ,facts are hard.
Republicans have tried 41 times to defund Obamacare. They can't get a majority, so they hold US military, etc. hostage.
