This is a trend with the establishment RINO types.When they lose against the tea party conservatives they take their toys and go home ready to pounce if the dem wins but wont do anything to help defeat the dem.
No, the Republican leadership know that obama is playing political games. With media on his side, they could loose it all. After we get a Republican elected as pres. and maybe even the senant, and they still dont cut, we pounce on them. Until then, the games will continue with no cuts.
