Interesting analysis by Newt Gingrich.
“If President Obama hangs on and coerces a clean continuing resolution and a clean debt ceiling hike he will have set the stage for three years of presidential dominance.
It was an indication of the President’s determination that after his Secretary of the Treasury warned that the financial world would collapse next week if we didn’t raise the debt ceiling, he rejected a six week clean increase of the debt ceiling because it did not meet his requirements.”
I think the Republicans are set up for a lose-lose strategy and if that’s the case, they might as well stand firm — with all his bluster, Obama can’t do anything without the House agreeing to it.

ABSOLUTELY!
I think “Presidential dominance” is putting it as nicely as possible. Too nicely, in fact.
