I am not calling for it, but googled it, and found no mention of the current case, not that it might be called something else.
My one and only point(well...2 or three)is(R) that 1) those that partake actually have a line to cross, 2) they have consequences for crossing any lines, and 3) that government is also bound by such clarity.

Not T-Rx or Too point Oh, but my segue from Jon Stewart and the T-Party to the Peas** Party, or the adult in the White House, also is symbolized in the 3* part response that is just the beginning of the Iron Chef.

[Not to make light of food or metaphors, but there may be something to the Cain and able of 9-9-9. The number may not be important or that it is the flip-flop of 6-6-6. but that there is nothing wrong with a flat tax, if there are flat, and sufficient but limited deductions and exemptions, as well as a sufficient safety net. Note no mention of capital gains which I read as considered income.]

Ten Years After
9-11-2001
[9-13-01 REFLECTING ON A CHOICE OF WORDS]
I have read and re-read my words and have read or heard those of others and
have come to find the importance in having a perspective on the choice of
words. A response to this horrific act is of course needed, but
encouragement comes from the first steps taken to get the support of others
in the world. To act alone would cause consequences that would prolong this
process. There is hope for us if this unity that results truly allows good to prevail. But voices must not hesitate to point out where goodness is
needed in the world and it must begin at home. Expressing our feeling of
sadness and fear at these outrageous acts must be encouraged and not
translated into anger toward any groups in this or other countries that are
not the perpetrators or actual supporters of terrorism or we will feed the
spiral of hate.

AMERICA UNDER ATTACK. BUT DEMOCRACY MUST BE PROTECTED.
The tragedy that has come to this nation on Sept. 11th, 2001 is nearly
unspeakable. It is an attack on our country but not on our democracy. While
the tone of previous pieces may seem flippant, it would be a form of attack
on our democracy to feel the hesitancy to criticize our government. To find
and prosecute the people who are responsible would be justice. But if
retaliation is justified in the name of a war on terrorism then we must wake
up. War is already ongoing (freedom and lives are lost daily around the
world) and we must be wary of visiting the same atrocities on others. Since
collateral damage has been justified in war (wrongly or not), retaliation
that includes hasty justice may be guilty of, if not also justifying the
same terrible deeds.

American Jobs Act
President Obama before a Joint Session of Congress.
This is an act of leadership, not ledership. Meaning that I make no pun with the American Jobs Act as a lede to the President before Congress. He took it to the people, in Trumanesque form. [*]
It may not have been what Congresswoman Maxine Waters wanted in scope. It may not have been calling for everything(more of the same) that was opposed by Republicans in the last two congresses. But it was a pitch that puts the ball in the kitchen or is it the bread basket?
9-9-11 Not even you can bind future congresses. But you can hold their feet to the kitchen. The president hit it out of the park, it is now on the people court. I had already used the Grand Slam metaphor(Eugene Robinson), but this is no competition. Pass the act or rev up the circus.
[*] 9-10-11 Lakoff agrees.

Perry Wink-L Herring...

OK, I am mixing metaphors not to mention cultural references, but that Perry sure can dish 'em. I have yet to watch the debate, but have seen some reviews and snippets.
* "It is a Ponzi scheme*** to tell our kids that are 25 or 30 years old today, you're paying into a program that's going to be there," he said. "Anybody that's for the status quo with Social Security today is involved with a monstrous lie to our kids, and it's not right." [Nobody on the stage or in the Democratic Party, let alone Barack Obama is for "the status quo with Social Security". Now all he has to do is click his ruby red slippers**. BTW: The two sentences, if they are contiguous, are half non-sequitor and half depending on who the "25 or 30 year(s) old(s)" vote for.]

Ironically(and indubitably) Perry is Right!
Pun intended:
"You know yesterday the president said I needed to watch what I say."
"I just want to respond back, if I may. Mr. President, actions speak louder than words."
"My actions as Governor are helping create jobs in this country."
"The President’s actions are killing jobs."
[My bold added for a bit more context. The parsing is tricky, but it spins like a Texas Two-Step.]
And the president should take his advice, Go Left, Dear Sir*.
While context in an anthema to the Right,
nuance and parsing are a bitter pill for them, and a better bill** for the Left.
By not going whole hog or shifting from recovery to reform too soon, the President is killing jobs.
But he is not the unitary executive that can just get her done.
Perry and the QT party are too cute by their own Picard.

You know yesterday the president said I needed to watch what I say. I just want to respond back, if I may. Mr. President, actions speak louder than words. My actions as Governor are helping create jobs in this country. The President’s actions are killing jobs....but parsing more important:

[My bold added for a bit more context. The parsing is tricky, but it spins like a Texas Two-Step.]
And the president should take his advice, Go Left, Dear Sir*.
While context in an anthema to the Right,
nuance and parsing are a bitter pill for them, and a better bill** for the Left.
By not going whole hog or shifting from recovery to reform too soon, the President is killing jobs.
But he is not the unitary executive that can just get her done.
Perry and the QT party are too cute by their own Picard.

CU T-party
By Buy[!]
Not just to be cute, but a recent poll shows the public priorities are Jobs over Cuts in spending,
as suggested by Ryan Grimm in the Job #1 segment of Rev. Al Sharpton's MSNBC show*.
Sea-U Later.
This almost makes a documentary of a mocumentary. There was the "domino theory" and "love it or leave it"... but Vietnam and Outsourcing have put a whole new spin on such slogans. I think that Water World and the Pacific Gyre would just about unspin and recreate the Libertarian Elba.
*(7 to 8 minute mark)
[Note that the narrative holds.]
[Inserted between comments 1 & 2:Retracing the anachronism of this post...the original inspirations was a mixed label/metaphor(yet to be found), that morphs the party of cuts, with the T-Party.
(Inserted post comment 2)Let alone the QE2 pun and the Hayek/Keynes Canard lines or anchors. Post c3- Or Bouts.]

Two legs of Obama's three leg stand are pragmatic and incremental. The third is comprehensive, not always comprehensible *. And the pinnacle of the Try Pod is co-operation.

Tea Party Down Grade
and the Undo- Everything House of Reprehensibles
(Note the counter-linkage or weaving of sources.)
Reading of the Day and relevant fn.
Simpson-Bowles and S&P Re: Revenue.
The fn. above discusses a narrative that is lacking in Obama's rhetoric. The actual recalcitrance of the Republican party, the lack of a filibuster proof congress, not to mention the media as we know it(Koch Brothers), argues more balanced narrative than Blame Obama. The Obama Inaugural was our calling.
(NFRY)
Candidate Obama was nuanced and President Obama is pragmatic and incremental, the message is clear.
[Hoist on our own Picard.]
[More Meet the Press.]
Green Span on Degree of Certainty: the only thing certain is change, and that the Right won't.
I mean Greenspan: "this deficit problem that is out there is a lot larger than we calculated. the actual numbers employed by those calculating the deficits are based on a level of economic activity, which we are not acheiving." Rather than translate IMHO the Greenspan quote, there is FIXING NEWS(as opposed to breaking) as the President addresses the downgrade now. (Remarks by the President: and previous remarks)
(Note the counter-linkage or weaving of sources.)
Reading of the Day and relevant fn.
One great thing about Obama's primary victory is now we know that's not true. This is the modern Republican Party. It turns out they were the ones who adopted Malcolm X's slogan, "By any means necessary." As disgusted as I am with S&P's decision to downgrade U.S. debt, the ratings agency took the unusual step of calling out the GOP in its press release, predicting future fiscal peril "because the majority of Republicans in Congress continue to resist any measure that would raise revenues," Sen. John Kerry was right to call it the "Tea Party downgrade" on "Meet the Press" Sunday. They have now made clear they'll wreck the economy as long as they can wreck Obama's presidency. And we have no way to know that Clinton's history with right-wing saboteurs would have enabled her to fight more effectively.
Simpson-Bowles and S&P Re: Revenue.
Hennessey’s assessment of Simpson-Bowles is even more puzzling. As I’ve noted before, Simpson-Bowles raised about $2 trillion in new revenues and cut defense spending by about $800 billion. The plan Obama proposed to Boehner raises half as much revenue and, from what I’m told, includes about half as much in defense cuts. It’s hard to see how that qualifies as "to the left" of Simpson-Bowles.

First Downgrade in US History!
Under Speaker John BaneOr and Republican Un-Do Everything House
S&P Reduces U.S. Credit Rating.
Rachel Maddow reports, though the links* are not in yet[!]
Earlier Martin Bashir** on Growth.
Earlier Dylan Ratigan had a great panel.
The point is, whether S&P is reliable or not in its figuring, how can threats to our economy by the imbalance of the Republican approach and a refusal to pay for its past credit card spending, not influence a credit rating?
* now they are

Bleep 'n Compromise (Dept Ceiling) Review**
Not to be prophetic, but "I told you so."
In particular in The Jig is Up? and Bleep 'n Compromise,
but more importantly under Respected Sources.
IMHO: Randi Rhodes and Lawrence O'Donnell are radio and TV's number one(respectively) explainers* of the Obama Administration. Here are two Debt Ceiling recaps from Randi Rhodes which are nothing compared to hearing her.(AM 1090 Forum )
*respectfully
** which is not the same as bleepin'
(See Bleep & Compromise)

[I wish I could unembed a little more plain language from this post, but maybe a counter example might do. With a do nothing congress***, the best thing to do is to kick the can down the road for political purposes.

Give an inch...
Take a footnote:
VOTE NO ON DEAL.If the original intent was a clean bill, this should fit the bill. If harming the economy for political purposes is the intent, then the Debt Deal is the proper balance. While I can understand the political purposes in light of the burden of accountability and compromise, it is a tough call to say, hold tough, but it is your call. My call is that it is not only the 14th Amendment but the Debt Ceiling law itself, which gives the President and Congress their respective powers, which only a no vote would enforce. So while I can understand that Sum Would Cheer: I must on principle urge a No Vote on kicking the can down the road for political purposes. UNLESS it has already been calculated that the obligations that the Treasury holds(f.n. 2) are already not a part of the debt ceiling picture.
Footnote 1
and 2 (except guaranteed obligations held by the Secretary of the Treasury.)
