   Wow, a Rupert Murdock owned paper bashing a democrat. What’s next Bradley predicting increasing condo values?

   So many words to print that says absolutely nothing. Typical pundit nonsense. Was she sipping tea while spouting that nonsense?

   He was working through a deal, with Boehner and Pelosi. They never got past the bargaining phase before Boehner split. Why release it then?

   Make no mistake, this political theater is nothing more then Boehner trying to starve off a full fledged GOP civil war. He could easily pass a compromise bill in the house with both Dem and republican support. Hell, 90+ current GOP senators have voted for it in the past. Something to that nature, with Dem support, is where he’s already headed. All that remains to be seen is if the teahadists can sabotage it.

   He’s in the mean time he’s going after the teahadist support, at Americas peril, because if he doesn’t they’ve promised revolt. If they revolt, they control the closed primaries and a lot of moderate republicans are going to be forced to run as Indys or form a new party. even Olympia snow isn’t insulated from that. That means huge Democratic gains in 2012, and possibly the GOP splintering into two parties.

   The monster is finally all grown up, and this is nothing then a show to try to keep it from splintering the grand bargain of Goldwater.

   If anything, it’s just the last dying gasp of the old Republican party, be fore it splits into the Conservatives, and the fundamentalist infection that has festered so long. Unfortunately Americas good credit and economic outlook (and all of us) are being held hostage on the partys deathbed.

   Obama has one job – Be a Leader. What exactly is his plan?

   To force Boehners hand, which he did.

   All that remains to be seen is if Boehner takes us down with him, or mans up and passes a bipartisan bill in the 12th hour.

   You need to pass something in the house eventually, and that can’t happen when Boehners trying to appeals a small minority of about 50 teahadists.

   Fuuny, I don’t always agree with you, but this time I think you’re right on. I also agree with comment above Obama needs to be more proactive.

   At some point, new organizations changed the word “news” to mean “opinion.”

   Obama is a LOSER and he is taking American with him. He is definitely no leader. Maybe he can convince people that he is not responsible, “it’s all Congress.” Please get us a real leader for President.
