Boehner *does* seem to think raising it is necessary.
Ah, so Barry *is* thinking about the next election.
Not so much about what’s good for the country, eh, Barry?
Well, it seems to me that this all started with the idea that in the end they’d probably let them do it, but the question was what concessions could we extract. The commie surprised all by taking, essentially, a position of No Concessions. This has forced Boehner into the position he’s in — he’s got the president bitching at him like a little bitch, but he has not produced any specifics, so the Reps can’t say yea or nay. The only thing, I guess, that would be ok with the commie is to simply raise the ceiling and shut up. Which forces him to put his back up. We love this, but the media is shouting itself horse.
