So whatever happend to Mcconell's plan that would allow Obama to raise the debt ceiling?

We heard a lot about this earlier on in the discussions as a back up in case a deal couldn't be reached, but I haven't heard anyone in the media or congress even talking about. Was it voted down and I just didn't hear about it?

1. Didn't Obama nix it because it called for having to "re-up"

every few months or so?

I'm with Obama on this, the country should NOT have to be put through this again any time soon. This is too much, too many people are sincerely scared. :(

2. House Republicans nixed it. Obama was fine with it.

4. Thanks for setting me straight. I assumed that the Repubs would

go along with it since I feared it was a trap, but I'd neglected to take into account the divided Republican Party.
