I’m not saying that the media won’t blame the GOP but it will be difficult for them to do it with a straight face.
The media is not going to be able to blame the GOP this time. Boehner has repeatedly come out with offers and go on the offensive as someone tryingi to avoid the cliff. The President has been impudent and slow to react after first making outrageous demands. Polls are already showing the public blaming Democrats almost as much as the GOP. That’s a huge public relations victory. In the past it would hae been 95% GOP’s blame.
