Best case scenario: Tea Party reasserts itself. Debt ceiling deal doesn’t happen. Obama raises debt ceiling on 14th amendment grounds. Tea parties take over leadership in the House and obstruct from here to election day.
Huck, you’ve got a Democrat President and Democrat appointments. Let me know which of the following you think is going to happen when August 2nd passes without a deal.
1. nothing bad happens, the negotiations continue indefinitely and Obama is shown up for the liar he is
2. Obama orders each of his department heads to take the most negative actions possible, blaming all the negative consequences on the Republicans, and setting us up to lose the House and Senate in 2012
Let me know when you’ve got this one figured out. There is no third selection no matter what your pipe dreams are.
FoxNews just aired a poll. Over 90% of the populace views the job Congress is doing as poor or worse. That’s even worse than Pelosi’s numbers.
You think avoiding a budget deal turns this around? LOL
