Actually, not.
Obama's plan was to stick Repubs for 1/2 the responsibility for raising the ceiling and also to get them on the hook for some tax hikes.
This way every single Repub can say they did NOT vote for the ceiling (under the other plan with cuts they would have) and the Dems got NO tax hikes.
The more I think about this the more I'm thinking McConnell may be onto something.
You and Mitch may be on the same thing, happy pills?
