Boehner made the mistake of agreeing to the Senate bill, or at least looking like he did only to come back to a rebellion making him look weak and playing into Democrat talking points. That is what makes me think he will still cave in the end.

Rove says Boehner should wait until Obama flies to Hawaii (but before Jan. 1) and then pass the 2 month extension, while complaining that it's stupid and expensive. When he got back to the teleprompter, Obama would reply that Boehner and McConnell should have communicated better, or should have read the bill before agreeing to it, something like that.

Meanwhile, spending goes up, up, up, and the GOP is afraid that if they block the spending voters will throw them out.

I just got done with DVRed Cavuto and saw that interview. As lame as that sounds the handwriting spelling ‘cave’ is on the wall. Obama is on TV shopping whole Boehner is sweating and he is getting no support from FNC, a sure sign of coming doom.

ON FNC Special Report today that young blogger lady Mary Katharine Ham gave an opinion that sounded much like me talking, She said that to win a standoff like this Republicans needed to be prepping the voters with their arguments weeks and months ago not just let Obama do all the voter prepping with his arguments about how Republicans are trying to destroy the economy. These battles don’t win themselves. I am not sure WHAT Boehner is up to but it doesn't look good.
