RE :"McConnell's plan forces 0bama to either prove himself a liar, or actually cut when he says he wants to cut. [He will under no circumstances cut, and his reelection chances will go down in flames if he proves himself a liar.] McConnell's gambit was brilliant."

This is the weakest point in your comment. It is not 'brilliant' it is more like 'surrender to avoid more casualties'. Sadly Republicans may end up where this is their best option, but only if they lost.

Tomorrow is Sunday and we will see if Republicans have improved their messaging on the shows.

McConnell knows what the situation is in the Senate. He also knows the President always has an advantage over the Congress with the Press, and this one owns the Fifth Column, er, Fourth Estate, completely. He had the opportunity to force 0bama to show himself the liar he is, despite a fairly weak hand. It was indeed brilliant.
