It's also a cave in the sense that Boehner could have taken the tactic of sending separate department-level funding bills to the Senate, and making Reid explain why the Senate would only accept a CR funding the whole government when the Sentate won't pass a clean annual budget bill that does the same.

The Republicans are colluding with the Democrats to “delay” Obamacare until January 2015 and give the Obama regime a chance to smooth out the wrinkles so it “works right” and keep the issue from hurting the rats too much in the 2014 campaign.
In return for giving the rats another year-plus to deepen the roots of their communist healthcare, the Republicans will cave on the debt ceiling. What a deal.
Wow, are we ever being played.
It is something. Boehner did something for a change and the house is united. I agree the issue is the Senate. What Cruz has done is allowed America to hear over the course of 21 hours what a true POS law the democrates shoved down our throats. Now ball is in their court. Lets see if they can get more than 19 Republicans and a couple scared Democrates to unite.
Interesting times we live in.
There is a group of GOP reps on the steps of the Capitol in front of the closed Senate doors. Fox covered it for maybe 5 minutes, then cut away because they were all saying essentially the same thing. :(
They were calling Reid out on not convening the Senate today. I suspect they were also doing it to put the pressure on no-Boner.
After they cut away Jarrett and his pundits said it amounted to nothing except maybe make the dems share “some” of the blame. However they still all most of the blame would go to the GOP.
There's been plenty to criticize Boehner over. This isn't one of them. You're just being impossible for the fun of it.
If Obamacare can be delayed a year, then later it can be delayed another year, and then another everytime Obama keeps coming back for more money, and then maybe indefinitely.
So let’s take what we can get right now.
