At the G20 meeting in Toronto, Obama made a threat which is sliding under rug.

In a rambling, semi-coherent answer to a rare question from the media, Obama had this to say on controlling the debt:

“Somehow people say, why are you doing that, I’m not sure that’s good politics. I’m doing it because I said I was going to do it and I think it’s the right thing to do. People should learn that lesson about me because next year when I start presenting some very difficult choices to the country, I hope some of these folks who are hollering about deficits and debt step-up because I’m calling their bluff.”

The egocentrism is evident in this peculiar statement (“people should learn that lesson about me”), wow, but the question for FA readers here is – what is he threatening?

. . . A massive increase in taxes perhaps? What is the overwhelming difficult choice this inexperienced and indecisive President possibly capable of?
