“(Problem is, Obama knows that if he “caves” the the House GOP he will lose re-election. But I think I am starting to see what Rush and others have been saying....Obama is going to lose no matter what, and this week’s events are merely clarifying that).”
And Boehner “caving” will only insure that both Obama AND Boehner will lose their relection bids, despite the MSM talking points predicting a Obama win in that circumstance.

I’m not so sure...I think a Boehner cave might well hand a victory to Obama, in the same way a Bush cave on “no new taxes” gave the Democrats victory on that point, AND gave the White House to Clinton (via Perot, obviously, but still).
Bottom line, though, I really think the GOP has the better poker hand here.
