Barbara Lee is grandstanding. Obama is smarter, more capable, and tactically the superior of Ms. Lee in every respect, and everyone knows had a default occurred, he could not have been re-elected, meaning the end of civilization as we know it.
For Ms. Lee to adopt this stance and this tone at this time is a mirror image of Tea Party posturing on the other side, and is unworthy of her.
I appreciate the Progressive Caucus standing strong and adhering to the principles that are basic to the future of the United States of America -- clear purpose of doing the right thing without linking it to political maneuvers. There is no assurance that in the future the wealthiest will be made to contribute to the welfare of our future -- and we cannot be held hostage by the far Right members of the Republican Party. Thank you Barbara Lee for doing what you do so well.
Sadly she represents my district although not me personally :(
One can appreciate the congresswoman's hard work and passion, but must also be clear that she is very much on the side of larger more invasive government and fanning of the issue of race when the real divisions in the country are economic and cultural.
Just please know Mrs. Lee that you have tax-paying constituents who want sound money and at least some deference to the constitution you swore to uphold.
