1. So remind me. If a deal has been reached, we see white smoke?

If no deal...we see black smoke?

[underpants]

2. LOL - No I think someone leaves without a rose

it is just a game to these people you know

[LongTomH]

5. I know where I'd like to insert the rose......................

......at least for those voting to cut Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid and education! :grr:

[Raine]

13. Yeah and leave the thorns on. nt

:evilgrin:

[originalpckelly]

3. If a deal has been reached we see them running out of town...

followed by a pitchfork and torch armed mob.

If not, and it's August 2nd, still running out of town being chased by a pitchfork and torch armed mob.

[Liberalynn]

4. Thanks for the smiles Liberal Veteran and Underpants

6. I Don't Know... What Color Smoke Do Burning Benefit Checks Make ???

:hide::evilgrin::hide:

:yoiks:

[obxhead]

7. If we see Obama smiling

then he has bent the Dems to Pubs (his) will. If he's frowning then the Dems still fight for us. ;)

[gateley]

9. I just have to say again, I think it's political suicide for BOTH parties

to even be whispering the words Medicare and Social Security.

[ProgressIn2008]

11. Heh, this made me laugh more than I would have thought possible. Perfect. nt

[EFerrari]

15. LOL

[zbdent]

18. I'm getting Maxwell's silver hammer ...

[gateley]

8. I was just going to ask if we'd heard anything (I always come to

DU first!). Working, so I'm not able to spend much time on the internets.

So thanks -- didn't have to look far!

Wonder if they're having dinner sent in. AND, I wonder who's attending since Boehner weaseled out.

[WillyT]

10. Press Just Got The Photo-Op, And Are Being Ushered Out Of The Room

Nobody's wearing a tie.

There's a joke there... but I'll leave it lay.

:shrug:

[kentuck]

12. When it reaches midnight...

the Republicans will look at each other. Mitch McConnell will suggest that they adjourn the meeting. The President says that no one should leave the room until they reach an agreement. The time for games is over.

What happens then?

Late Sunday White House Summit On Debt Talks Underway
Susan Crabtree | TPMDC
July 10, 2011, 6:30PM

<snip>

A Sunday evening White House summit on debt negotiations is underway after a weekend full of fits and starts in the talks with Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) sending mixed signals that the debt-ceiling needs to be raised while backtracking from attempts to reach a grand bargain to reduce the nation's long-term debt.

The meeting began at 6:10 in the White House Cabinet Room with President Obama seated at the center of the table, flanked by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) and Boehner. The dress code was appropriately casual for a sultry Sunday evening in July. No one wore ties, opting for open-collar shirts and blazers instead.

A White House pool reporter shouted, "Mr. President, can you get a deal done in 10 days?"

Obama responded: "We need to."
