i’m just saying, i think boehner is in an impossible position
I am probably missing something but I do not understand why what is not good for the goose is not good for the gander.
Presuming that raising the debt ceiling and funding obamacare are orthogonal, Boehner can still let a bill come to the House floor that does nothing other than raise the debt ceiling until the end of the year.
He can time it so that the senate has no choice but to pass it, given all the media hoopla about deadlines, etc.
(As a devil’s advocate, I’ll now argue a point against this notion.)
If it is true as some say that Oct. 17 is not the actual default deadline and the actual deadline is sometime between Oct. 22 and Nov. 1, then Reid and the senate can simply ignore such a House bill in hopes that the MSM will not notice that the sky is not falling, and continue to pick on the House for being the recalcitrant operator in the debt ceiling crisis (as the MSM and Democrats appear to have done with Obamacare funding)...
