RE :” But the attacks and insults made publicly against Bohner over the past few weeks at some times more than Cruz was getting has not put him in a mood to give Reid and Obama anything,
....
he gave them everything and then some. He gave away Congressional powers to the executive. “

Personally I had no doubt that it would end the way it did.
I posted it many times here before the shutdown started.
There was no doubt in my mind that he would do what he did.

And like with the tax bill there's lots of whining but I aint seeing any Tea party House GOPs stepping up to take his job from him,

If every freeper who posted that Obama would cave first was willing and able bet me a $1, I would be moving next to Romney. (OK , a little exaggeration there)

There was no doubt in my mind that it would end that way. Boehner said there would be no default. He sent those signals long before as did most of the Reps in the Senate and the House. The only way to be credible is to make it known that you are willing to accept the consequences of not raising the debt ceiling. Once you let your opponent know that you are unwilling to accept the consequences, you have lost.
