6. It won't even make it to a vote in the Senate

that fact seems to escape the teabagger pukes in the House everytime one of those chinless assholes finds a mic to yap into.

I'm not going to play soap opera daily.

4. Does this mean the WH has figured out how to raise debt ceiling without Congress? n/t

5. That's not really a veto threat

It's a memo that someone in the WH is recommending that the President threaten to veto it.

Anyone who ever watched The West Wing probably remembers a time when someone suggested this very tactic. It was rejected as the obvious sign of weakness that it was.

7. I sometimes wish Obama's team would watch The West Wing

They could learn an awful lot. Which is pretty sad when you remember it was just a TV show.
