House and Senate leaders from both sides of the aisle meet with the president Saturday for quote- “emergency” negotiations on the nation’s debt.

Meanwhile -- pundits are still picking apart dueling pressers from President Barack Obama and House Speaker John Boehner late Friday.

Reports say debt negotiations failed once again when Mr. Boehner left the table over the White House’s request for increased revenue.

And that -- prompted the presidential press conference.

The Christian Science Monitor called the president’s statements a “primal scream.”

Pres. BARACK OBAMA (D): “It turns out, actually, that the plan that Speaker Boehner and I were talking about was comparable in terms of deficit reduction. The difference was that we didn’t put all the burden on the people who are least able to protect themselves … working stiffs out there, ordinary folks who are struggling every day.” (Video: PBS)

CNN’s Jessica Yellin says -- Mr. Obama showed -- he’s at his limit.

JESSICA YELLIN, CNN CHIEF WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT: “This was the president hitting by far his most frustrated, fed-up note during the debt negotiations by far, John. …In short he said that he offered them a deal that Democrats just didn't like. He was basically saying he was enraging his own party, how could the Republicans not accept this deal?”

A writer for the liberal Politicus USA says -- this is the president at his best.

“This was a masterful use of the bully pulpit, by a president who often gets criticized by those on the left and right for not showing enough emotion. At this press conference, Obama showed more than emotion. He revealed where his heart is. This president is trying to protect the most vulnerable members of our society, and those who are hurting in this recession.”

But a blogger for The Washington Post was less impressed -- finding Mr. Obama’s obvious emotion a little immature.

“The sad truth of this conference was that Obama proved exactly the thing he was railing against. We need adults. We need people to make sacrifices, to make hard choices, to get things done. But when you yell, it’s better television.”

And then-- Speaker Boehner hit back, saying -- it’s the White House’s fault.

JOHN BOEHNER (R-OH): “And let me just say that the White House moved the goalpost. There was an agreement, some additional revenues, until yesterday when the president demanded $400 billion more which was going to be nothing more than a tax increase on the American people.” (Video: ABC)

Writers for Politico say -- it was the wrong move for the Speaker.

“Boehner likely will be damaged in the eyes of the public. His approval ratings ... are in the gutter. Many conservatives see him as the problem with Washington — a two-decade fixture in D.C. who is close to lobbyists and doesn’t apologize for it. His government funding measure, the right says, was nothing more than a bill of goods sold to political neophytes to avoid a government shut down.”

But a blogger for NPR argues the opposite, saying...

“...appearing to stand tough against Obama could help Boehner's street cred with many in his Republican conference whose support he needed to become speaker and will continue to require to remain speaker in the next Congress assuming Republicans keep their majority.”

The White House says the United States has until August 2nd to raise the debt ceiling or the country risks defaulting on its loans -- although even that is the subject of dispute.
