I think the story line for 2012 will be the Repubs are “unreasonable obstructionists” being controlled by the lunatic fringe AKA the Tea party.

I think Obama is going to raise the DC by Executive order even though it's not constitutional.

He's probably getting assurances from the Dems - especially Reid - that he won't let impeachment proceedings happen in the Senate.

Raising the debt ceiling by executive order can happen, maybe, but it’s pointless.

The FY 2011 CR expires 1 Oct. If he were to do such a thing, the House will never EVER approve FY 2012 expenditures that don’t take 500B off immediately. He would be cutting his fiscal throat, which in an election year will matter a great deal more than impeachment. He cannot . . . he simply cannot have fiscal contraction that takes 9.2% to 29% and have any chance of winning.

Dingy Harry will have no choice in allowing impeachment proceedings. If the house votes impeachment, there will be a trial - period....red
