RE :”For crafting a complex last minute resolution to a crisis solely of its own making, no one in Washington should really feel good about the debt deal. While some on the right and many on the left are not happy with the deal, even President Obama and the congressional leaders he negotiated with have said it's not the perfect bill. But there's a possible silver lining in this debacle for the White House and Democrats. Here's why: while it may look to many in his party as a raw deal, Mr. Obama succeeded in showing leadership in the end by brokering any deal to solve the crisis, showed he was willing to compromise and take less than he wanted, and showed he was serious about tackling the looming debt crisis facing the country”

Unfortunately this was true with Clinton in 1996 and will be true with Obama if this-is signed into law. As I posted yesterday : Next year Obama will campaign on :” My administration passed a historical huge ‘big deal’ deficit reduction package that tackles one of this countries biggest problems, after a decade of Republicans running up the nation's credit card”.

Republicans options? Push Obama for more concessions, make Democrats squeal, make it hurt. House Republicans should send a small debt increase of $50B to the Senate to buy time for the House to modify/improve the Senate bill, just my opinion today. More some cuts into FY12 too.

Without a doubt this should happen. Stand up Tea Partiers. Don't let these skanks get away with bigger debt increases. If not then resign so we can elect some real cost cutters.
