In the 11th hour it appeared that a deal had been struck in respect to the budget crisis.
But, according to inside sources, 70% of the Republicans urged John Boehner to "walk" away from the ongoing negotiations which were making headway.
With the threat of a default looming on the horizon, the President attempted to avert that potential dilemma, by setting up a meeting for this morning at 11 a.m. up on the hill.
The House Speaker ignored not just one or two of the President's calls, but a whole raft of them, throughout the course of the day.
Government protocol (and common courtesy and decency) dictates that a politician should pick-up the phone if they're in their office (and not in a session or closed-door meeting) or return the communication at first chance thereafter.
Boehner's refusal to show respect to Mr. Obama and the office of the sitting President - not only underscored his arrogance - but established that the House Speaker has been derelict in his duties.
If any other American failed to meet his or her work obligations (i.e. earn their daily pay), they would be fired on the spot, I dare say!
Just betcha, that if voters fear their social security cheques aren't in the mail (or directly deposited into their bank accounts) on August 3rd, that there will be a cry of foul around the land calling for Mr. Boehner's resignation - or at a minimum - a lynching by the angry mob in the town square.
Sir, you've been put on notice!
