I don't know if the strategy will work. I could argue it either way and there are many unknowns that could pop up before 11/14 that could be game-changers.
I do though strongly believe that they believe they could pull it off and are committed to giving it a try.
If we see a deal before January then I'm wrong. If obama continues to reject every offer from Boehner then it would give great credence to my theory.
Obama will continue to reject every offer from Boehner he wants to increase taxes on all incomes not just the rich.
You may be right however I think he will make many of his sheep mad when they understand he’s screwing tnemtoo.
