Presidential Poker

Reminder –

President Obama has engaged in a high stakes poker game by refusing to cut spending, while at the same time pushing job-crushing tax hikes as an already struggling economy hangs in the balance.
 

• “Eric, don’t call my bluff,” the president said, warning Cantor that he would take his case “to the American people.” (Politico, 7/13/11)

Even the most amateur poker players know ... you don’t tell the other players at the table you’re bluffing.
