To quote Obama, was it a “Teutonic shift”?
I think Obama knows he’s screwed.
Well...if the current debt ceiling “deal” goes through, this will give Obama cover of a sort.
Why isn’t the American public SCREAMING about this????
When that Kangeroo Committee gets down to business, his base will change their tune as the GOP base howls in anger.
This is long term good deal for Obama and a CATASTROPHE for us.

The greatest weapon that the GOP had going into the next election is the debt ceiling. The GOP should have pushed harder on the limited ceiling increase to force another conversation during the next election cycle.
He will win reelection.
Obama lost nothing in this deal.
The only way the political ground might have shifted under Obama is that he won this war and is on more solid ground. He and the democrats made buffoons out of Boehner and McConnell once again.
So now during the 2012 campaign he can claim he compromised with republicans but their plan only made things worse, yada, yada, yada.....
Liberals brush reality away like it’s a gnat. It’s part of being a Liberal. We live in reality and don’t understand this, and we get burned every time.
