A gun against the heads of of the American people.

RCP — Rep. Joe Walsh (R-Ill.) reacts to President Obama saying Republicans are using the debt ceiling as a “gun against the heads of the American people to extract tax breaks for corporate jet owners.” Here is what he said:

“I got to, just to start, I’m amazed he uses that type of analogy. If a Republican talked that way, the media would jump all over him. The man’s got no shame. Look, this debt ceiling issue, this crisis, has got to be dealt with. We’re not holding a gun to anybody’s head. But I am not going to place another dollar of debt on the backs of my kids and my grand kids unless this city structurally changes the way they spend money.”
