Obama, Cantor clash on short-term US debt deal -aide
WASHINGTON, July 13 |
WASHINGTON, July 13 (Reuters) - U.S. President Barack Obama and House of Representatives Republican Leader Eric Cantor clashed at a White House meeting on Wednesday over whether they should pursue a short-term debt limit increase, a senior Democratic aide said.
At the meeting, Cantor repeatedly called for a short-term deal that would avert an imminent default, the aide said. Obama "pushed back very hard" and said he would veto that plan, the aide said.

notice how none of the democratic lawmakers stepped forward to differ with Cantor’s account of Obama’s meltdown? So here Reuters just goes with a “Senior Democratic Aide’s” story. Clever but I think I’ll go with the Cantor version.
