President Obama Gets Pissy, Walks Out of Meeting
During a heated meeting with House Majority Leader, Eric Cantor, rumor has it that President Obama walked out. The meeting was about debt-limit with congressional leaders. Cantor told reporters, “He shoved back and said ‘I’ll see you tomorrow’ and walked out.”
A Democratic aide has another version of what actually happened. He explained, “Cantor’s account of tonight’s meeting is completely overblown. For someone who knows how to walk out of a meeting, you’d think he’d know it when he saw it. Cantor rudely interrupted the president three times to advocate for short-term debt ceiling increases while the president was wrapping the meeting. This is just more juvenile behavior from him and Boehner needs to rein him in, and let the grown-ups get to work.” Peep both sides of the story here.
