A lavish, rub-it-in-the-face-of-the-unemployed-or-overworked birthday bash scheduled for Aug. 3 to celebrate President Obama’s big 5-0 will be cancelled unless Congress actually passes the deal agreed to by party leaders to raise the debt ceiling.
The deal announced late Sunday, July 31, at first look, simply seems to grow what we owe to a little less than otherwise. A lot of legislators on both sides don’t seem to like it.
So the President may not get his party which is scheduled to be held at the $40,000-per-night Aragon Ballroom with entertainment to be provided by jazz musician Herbie Hancock and Dreamgirls’ star Jennifer Hudson.
Well, happy birthday anyway Mr. President from all of us in the Tea Party who will be wishing you a fervent goodbye
