This was Obama’s and Reid’s plan all along. Delay, demagogue, blame the Republicans up until the last minute and then unload their plan to be hastily passed. I’m at the point where I think the only way we rebuild is to let the entire system collapse.

I have thought the exact same thing numerous times. We have gone so far down this road. I’ve always asked “how do we turn back?” Nobody has ever had an answer.

Yep. The plan was to have the Boehner plan killed (either by Tea Party or by threat of DOA in Senate) and force the House to deal with the Senate bill due to lack of time and crisis creation. Classic pincer strategy.

Exactly. And the Tea Party libertarians instigating bickering and division among Republicans only helped the unified Dems. All Ubama and Reid had to do was wait and wait, prolonging the media vilification of Republicans and... voila!! Predictable.
