Problem with yanking it, as I see things, is then Obama thinks GOP is bluffing, and he keeps doing his spoiled brat beligerent thing. And on top of that, unfortunately we may end up with no choice but to kick the can down the road until Jan 21, 2013, if you catch my meaning. We may have to lose the battle in order to win the war.
you may be right.
You see then that there is sort of Zero chance he will “accept” this proposal, right?
(If I were him, I would accept it, and then hope that the House kills it.....why can’t he make that same calculation?)
I think Obama and Reid want no deal as it pleases the liberal base and will end up in a government shut down Obama and the Democrats will spin as the Republican’s fault. Obama has already said granny won’t get her check and meals for kids will stop. We on the right will get killed by public opinion as the public drinks the cool aide of mass media and Jay Leno jokes. Better to hang the out of control spending and inflation around Obama’s neck to win big in 11/2012.
