Krauthammer claims the Rep could have “gotten everything they wanted” without compromising. he claims Obama would have NEVER DARED to allow rates to go up.
Oh really? and suppose he DID allow them to go up and cited as the reason the Republicans refusal to make even the smallest compromise to keep the rates where they are> he could have blamed it on their refusal to help the unemployed by extending unemployment compensation.
Let’s all remember this is the same guy who all but guarateed health care was DEAD when Scott Brown was elected in MA.
Furthermore, Krauthammer said the GOP should not oppose the Reid spending bill because it would lead to a 1990s style government shutdown with the voters blaming he GOP. Plus he predicted the Tea Parties would not be a viable political force.
But 90% of the time he rather accurately and sharply bashes Obama.
