Spineless Wimps
Boehner and the boys have decided to give Obama a clean debt ceiling. Nothing, nada, zero asked in return. So what is Obama to consider next time there is a legislative battle with Republicans? When the GOP ostensibly puts its foot down, do you think there will be shivers running down the administrations spine? Doubt it.
Obama did things that no other president has done during the shutdown to make it as painful as possible for the American people. There has been a government shutdown with every president except for George W. Bush and none of them closed national parks, museums, memorials. But Obama did. And he has got the GOP freaked out that he would do it again.
So what did we gain by caving to Obama the first time? Nothing. Republicans should have insisted on changes they wanted, no matter how long the shutdown lasted. No Obama knows how to deal with these spineless wimps. Play hardball, something Republicans refuse to do.

I believe Boehner has one of 2 stratigies planned:
1) A secret offensive, backed up by irreputable evidence Obama was born in Kenya and other impechable offenses. Thus the Magic Negro will be toast by July.
OR
2) “Weepy” Boehner has given totally up and will allow America to become a Socialist empire ruled by a cabal of ruthless anarchists.
I gotta go with #2……………….WE’RE DOOMED.

They expext 10 inches of the white stuff by tomorrow along with probable long-term power outages. That will keep me from posting for a while. Thankfully, I have 3 liters of Red wine and 3 bottles of Kentucky Bourbon (90 proof)….:-)
Toejam – Looks like your stocked up pretty well. Tip one for me.
As far as Boehner is concerned, they say the fight would be a distraction from the real implosion of Obamacare. Like I say, I see it different.
