but since the Pres. just went out on really thin limb with his own Party to get a deal cut, doesn't that mean that if Boehner walks away from it (under pressure from Cantor who wants the Speaker-ship all to himself, no doubt) that the GOP is not just fucked, but fucked PUBLICLY, on the record and therefore fucked HUGE?

a three-to-one deal (cuts to revenue increases) is a pretty good get on what would be an otherwise mundane debt ceiling increase if your a 'Bagger-type; even THEY have to know by now that if they drive this car over the cliff, they will suffer an electoral wrath like none seen in a very long while...

(and yes I DO believe the Pres. could have gotten very close to the same political outcome on all this WITHOUT pissing off his own Democratic caucus, but that's not where we are at the moment, so I'll leave THAT to those much smarter than I...)

comments and opinions are always welcome...
