The debt deals as reported really seem like more a capitulation by the White House than a compromise.

If the deal is as @jonkarl outlines, the main source of pushback is likely to be from rank-and-file Democrats. abcn.ws/n4GfB7 ( http://blogs.abcnews.com/thenote/2011/07/white-house-republicans-strike-tenative-deal-to-raise-debt-ceiling-.html )

His latest tweet advises "be careful about assuming that reports of proposed deals are accurate in all respects" -- but I still believe his tweet on this looking like capitulation is relevant if the deal does turn out to be basically as ABC has been reporting.

1. The "rank and file" Democrats, the foot-soldiers, have been protecting the city gates.

Some others at a higher political pay grade, not so much.

4. "Capitulation"? Can't we find a new word?

"be careful about assuming that reports of proposed deals are accurate in all respects"

I agree with Nate on this. I await the details. No revenue, is not necessarily a so called cave, depending on what is cut.

5. 'as reported'. i'll wait &see

6. But the reports might not be true.

Maybe no deal yet or misreported.

7. Slightly OT, but this other tweet of his is encouraging to note:

"In Kansas City listening to local talk radio. Mainstream Midwestern conservative hosts. They couldn't be more fed up with the Tea Party."

8. Grover Norquit is Tweeting this

"Sounds like a budget deal with real savings and no tax hikes is a go. We'll see"

I love the smell of sellout in the morning. :grr:

10. I do not recognize this president.

He is not the same ms who rsn for office. He is not the same man who thrilled me and thousands of others in Grant Park. He is not the same man who inspired hope in millions.
