The Left of the Left - 2nd Term Blues

The Nation: As this take on the recent US Government shutdown and debt ceiling rise deal, that is seen as a defeat for the Republicans, " Surrender? Any more “victories” like this and Democrats will end up paying tribute into the GOP’s coffers. ".

Lets Get Real:

In this perception the WIN for the Oval was ALL PR, as the new deal confirms the cuts agreed to in 2011 by the President and the Congress, the sequester is a a major concern to Democrats, they really want to ease up on the cuts, the Republicans if they are smart can play the Democrats on this, and try and create a division between the the Oval and House and Senate Democrats.   Lets recall folks, there are the 2014 Mid Terms next year, the Hill wants to bring home the bacon for their States and Districts, thus what are Democrats willing to give up, a delay in ObamaCare for a year, as its not working folks, the Obama Administration has not released the number younger and healthy Americans who have singed up, they need this group to pay for the ObamaCare.   If those that have singed have a pre existing conditions or older, the Oval has a problem, the Republican House will not fund ObamaCare any more than passed by the Democratic Congress, thus ObamaCare might fail due to its internal paradox.    Thus the Republicans need to play tough in Budget talks, not give an inch, and try and cause a division between the Oval and Democrats on the Hill.   This is why politics is an art folks.
