Where the hell is Obama’s bill?

(ABC News) — In an eleventh hour appeal for political compromise, President Obama urged Congress today to find a bipartisan solution to avoid default, saying the stalled GOP House bill “has no chance of becoming law.”

“The time for putting party first is over. The time for compromise on behalf of the American people is now,” Obama said from the Diplomatic Briefing Room at the White House. “I’m confident that we will solve this problem. For all the intrigue and all the drama that’s taking place on Capitol Hill right now, I’m confident.”

The president was adamant that the Speaker’s plan has no viable future. “The House of Representatives is still trying to pass a bill that a majority of Republicans and Democrats in the Senate have already said they won’t vote for. It’s a plan that would force us to relive this crisis in just a few short months, holding our economy captive to Washington politics once again. In other words, it does not solve the problem, and it has no chance of becoming law,” Obama said.
