I think this is brilliant. It means Obama “owns” the economy and likely will lose in 2012. If the GOP let this country go into default (and you can bet your bottom dollar the press and everyone else would have blamed the GOP), then Obama would win in 2012 because he would claim the economy mess was a result of default. It would also mean losing the House in 2012.
Sometimes you guys need to take small victories in the pursuit of the large victory. This probably assures Obama is out in 2012.
I agree. Let OB own this and reassure a switch 2012. No default as an excuse for HIS failures.

Some of the strategists around here make Augustus’s General Varus look like a genius.
