Framing House Republicans

President Obama is working hard to win media campaign against House Republicans about budget, government shut down, debt-ceiling and all that. Look at the ways he is trying to frame them as irresponsible, unreasonable and out of touch with reality:

“If you’re in negotiations around buying somebody’s house, you don’t get to say, well, let’s talk about the price I’m going to pay, and if you don’t give the price then I’m going to burn down your house.”

“They basically said, you know what? The president’s so responsible that if we just hold our breath and say we’re going to threaten default, then he’ll give us what we want, and we won’t have to give anything in return.”

Many more framing examples here:
