Obama framed this issue last week - during his press conference. He said the Republicans and Tea Partiers would vote and pass some silly bills before they pass the real deal.
He framed the issue and Republicans allowed him to frame today’s vote. Calling it a decoy and political ploy.
He said - in the end - he would win.
That has been extremely troubling to me too. While completely wrong in every way on the issues, Zero has absolutely played Pubbies like they’re absolutely lost. It has been a pathetic display by the pubbies. No, it has been horrendous.
He can “frame it” any way he wants. The House members know they have the majority of the people behind them. Obama wants the Republicans to surrender so the Dems can beat them to death with their cave in vote next election.
Obama said we need to raise the debit limit, so here it is. Let the Dems turn it down.
