oh, the very genteman Senator from KY assumes the voters will all hold the GOP blameless and blame obama if he owns the power to unilaterally raise the debt limit and ruin our economy beyond repair, don’t you see?
because obama is a normal sane kind of guy who will ultimately be shamed by cavalier old white men, into being responsbible for his excesses, his party and he will be acountable to the voters, and obama will therefore put the nation above his ideology

Me: It was a turd when McConnell suggested it too!
Reid would have President Obama request a $2.4 trillion debt-limit increase in two installments of $1.2 trillion each. The requests would be subject to congressional resolutions of disapproval, but these would do little to restrict the president.
Obama could veto any resolution of disapproval, and it would take a two-thirds vote in both chambers of Congress to override him.
Are you fscking kidding me? Does anyone really understand what Reid is doing here? He's literally giving away the House's ability to regulate the economy by allowing the Executive branch to raise the debt limit ad infinitum.
This is drastically bad news if it passes. I don't see anything positive coming out of this deal.
This proves, universally, that Democrats and Liberals, specifically, are evil people Hell bent on resurrecting Marx and destroying America as we know it.
