3. You do know that "eat your peas" was in reference to raising the debt ceiling--

he directed it at Republicans who wanted to revisit it later for political impact. But don't let that stop you.

5. I recall it was aimed at both sides

Which was absurd.

7. Headline:

Barack Obama tells Republicans: It's time to eat your peas over debt
Barack Obama warned Republican leaders that they risked tipping the world back into a recession and throwing "millions of more people out of work" unless they could reach a deal with him on increasing the US's debt.

14. Transcript seems pretty bipartisan to me:

From: http://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2011/07/11/press-conference-president

"I will not sign a 30-day or a 60-day or a 90-day extension. That is just not an acceptable approach. And if we think it’s going to be hard -- if we think it’s hard now, imagine how these guys are going to be thinking six months from now in the middle of election season where they’re all up. It’s not going to get easier. It’s going to get harder. So we might as well do it now -- pull off the Band-Aid; eat our peas"

I wonder what John Lennon would say.
