Commenter seeks poker game vs Obama, thinks he's a poor 'bluffer'

By saying, 'Don't call my bluff,' Obama admits he's bluffing.

7/14/11, "Obama Blunders, Admits Bluffing on Debt Ceiling," American Thinker, Jerry Shenk

Translation: "I'm bluffing, dammit! I'm not very good at it, OK? But you better give me what I want anyway!""

They'd smile and say they were close and they're working on it and there's only a few details to work out, even if there wasn't, and then they'd smile more of those cheesy political smiles. You don't stamp out like a child. Actually, what it's really like is some Commie faction in one of those pathetic unevolved
