You have a point in what you say about the initial reaction by the President. But that does not excuse the way the House and especially the Senate handled the whole thing, it's inexcusable. These people are on the Hill to do what is best for our country and they didn't take the time to do that. They were more interested in pandering votes for the upcoming election by scare tactics.

I agree with everything you said. The Republicans in Congress are getting nervous about the upcomming election and acted to that end.
