Is he talking to an empty room?

The word seems to be that the "SuperCommittee" has failed to come to agreement on the US budget.

Talking heads were saying that the cuts in defense spending would be
argued in Congress for the coming year, and eventually would be removed.

But in a press conference this evening Obama said "No" to such changes.
He stated that he would veto any attempts by Congress to alter the consequences
of the outcome from the SuperCommittee.

It will be interesting (?) to see how the jibber jabbers interpret this,
and then over the next several months to see if, in fact,
Obama actually holds congressional feet to the fire.

Might as well be. He's talking to Congress. There's no light in THOSE eyes.

Yeah, but 11% want the US to go communist!?!

I guess only if Castro doesn't become president.
