Rep. Peter DeFazio of Oregon,

not my representative, unfortunately, as we here in southern Oregon are mostly stuck with Greg Walden, should run against Obama for the Democratic Party nomination for president next year:

Rep. Peter DeFazio (D-Ore.) on Friday morning complained that President Obama is reportedly pursuing a last-minute agreement with House Republicans that would mostly rely on significant cuts to federal spending as a condition for raising the debt ceiling.

Speaking on the House floor, DeFazio said Obama is reportedly "preparing yet another great cave."

"He cuts taxes to create a crisis, and then we cut spending to protect the tax cuts because tax cuts create jobs, except they haven't created jobs, but we've got to continue to protect them," DeFazio said. "It's all very, very sad."

Time for Obama to step down and let a REAL Democrat run for president.
