Debtgeddon is on its way. President Barack Obama and John Boehner, the Republican Congress speaker, are divided over the US crisis. But what were they thinking when they met up? Here's what G2 readers imagined.
Obama: "One lousy cup of coffee left in the whole country and he gets it."
Boehner: "If he thinks I'm paying sales tax on this, he's got another think coming."

Boehner: "You didn't say you wanted coffee."
Obama: "It just would have been nice to have been asked."
