This is devastating. Boehner has caved.

“This is devastating. Boehner has caved.”
ABSOLUTELY CORRECT...

Repubs are TERRIFIED this will turn in to another Gingrich shutdown debacle, and are presenting a deal that both sides can claim “VICTORY!” with.

Only it won’t be the Republicans the MEdia will be saying “WON!”, it will be Democrats.

HOW FUGGING STUPID ARE THESE PEOPLE???

Boehner has caved.

Nonsense. Boehner's gotten exactly what he wanted. Cuts equal to the debt ceiling with NO tax hikes.

PLUS he's also apparently getting 1) a vote on the balanced budget amendment and

2) continuing discussion on cuts in an election year which Obama did not want.

So what exactly is Obama getting? Nothing.

My God! I wish I had a nickel for every time I have read this exact same sentiment on FR over the past several weeks. I would be very wealthy, the debt limit debate would still be standing as "no deal", Speaker Boehner would still be holding out against obambis tantrums, the democrats would still be losing ground, and all of the Chicken Little's would still be running their collective blood pressure through the top of their heads!

Save your energy, people! Nothing has happened yet!
