Me either.
Does McConnell and Boner think the conservative base will support this capitulation??
All they have to do is fool a fraction of 'em into thinking Obama is the one with the spending problem; while Congress passes the spending bills.
The cause of the debt is the spending, and Congress is showing that it is unwilling to make substantial cuts in its spending. The "debt limit" is self-declared BS. Congress has control over it's own credit limit.
Nothing new here, past Congresses gave Bush the power to make new courts - until SCOTUS noticed that the constitution gives that power to Congress.
They don't CARE if we support it.
They see it like it is: They know we'll moan and groan, post snide comments on the Internet, vote in elections we know are fixed, play by the rules..
But they don't play by the rules - they use the rules, and they will rule us.
