they caved:
“McConnell deputy chief of staff Don Stewart said that Obama’s “threats about Social Security are no longer real if this bill passes.”
Market starting to head down as this filters out. It had been holding steady..more or less..and now working it’s way down.
McConnell should call his bluff and make it clear that it is Obama who is pushing the old timers over the cliff.
Come on Mitch, you are old enough to retire if you can't win the PR war and lose re-election. At least you'd go down swinging. Grow a set!
He added, “When the administration walked away from much of that yesterday afternoon, it became clear to us that we’d better be thinking about an alternative in the event that we couldn’t reach an agreement.”
Could it be more clear that they caved or attempted to cave? Did they even consider that the administration might have to think of an alternative? Wimps!
Get the tea party fired up to keep the House from going along with it!
They weren't real before either you idiot. It's a scare tactic. If they cave I'm ready to vote them all out. The American people were on YOUR side McConnell, stop watching MSNBC to get the pulse of the electorate you nimrod.
Grover Norquist, president of Americans for Tax Reform, says he supports Minority Leader Mitch McConnell’s “contingency plan” designed to force President Obama to assume nearly all of the responsibility for raising the debt ceiling.
“Obama is playing politics,” Norquist tells National Review Online in an interview. “Republicans need to force him to do what the established press is not doing. He says he’s got a serious proposal. Could we see it written down please?”
