The New York Times: Reports on the next battle between the Oval and the Republican House and notes the following, " A stalemate next time will bring no threat of higher taxes, and Republicans may stand firmer, demanding cuts that undo Mr. Obama’s recent gains. ".
Lets Get Real:
This is time for Speaker Boehner to show some backbone, no deals, no private chats, no NOTHING, if POTUS wants a debt ceiling deal make his eyes water, if his arrogance gets in the way, close down the Government, and keep it close, make the Oval suffer real hear burn, show Democrats that more than one side can go over the cliff, its will hurt the Republicans in the short term but they will win, at the end of the day President Obama would have to solve the problem, his watch, his time, and he should not get a dam thing through the House, NOTHING, not even the White House Budget. It Chicago politics 101, if you give the guy money and he does not get that fact, cut him off, CUT IT ALL OFF, that means every government programme, even defence. The liberals will howl, they always do, people will not be happy, but at the end of the day the US Government might just get a government structure that works. I am sure POTUS wont mind staying with his move star friends, as the White House is a Government building, no money, even for the lights. Yes folks this kind of approach would take back bone of steel, and nerve, but that is what political leadership is, or the US will go down the route of the Roman and British Empires, and US does not have a Crown at the end of day.
