That's because Obama has another plan already up his sleeve. He's waiting until the 11th hour so that when the Republicans vote against his “genius plan to save America” they will be blamed for whatever happens on Aug 2 (if anything does happen).

I highly recommend reading revelation 13

The WH is playing a huge game of chicken. They know they’ll have their maximum leverage on Aug 1 at around 1130PM. They think that when it comes down to it the GOP will fold, just as they largely did in April over the CR.

I don’t knwo what will happen but it won’t happen until the very end. I think there’s a good chance we go past Aug 2.
