gop is falling for the obama argument that not raising debt ceiling equal default

Let me submit they are not, but that they understand a lot of lo fo voters will, and this is not the time to conflate this issue with the battle they ARE winning - the CR / delay Obama Care battle. Obama would love to conflate and confuse, but this strategy short circuits that.

For the most part an increase in the debt ceiling would seem to be of minimal consequence in light of the quasi-shutdowns and the absence of approved appropriations and authorizations for the new fiscal year.

The debt ceiling deal has the unfortunate appearance of once again kicking the can down the road, but it does offer the advantage of re-focusing attention back to Obamacare where Democrats seem to be losing ground due to all the bad publicity surrouding it. I hope the Pubbies know what they’re doing and have a good strategy.
