Obama owns this economy now a he knows it. The President always bears the brunt of the wrath of the voters if the economy is bad. One thing we couldn't afford was to have our side blamed for a default, and that's exactly what would've happened. Obviously we know that's far from accurate and far from reality and the House was the only body to pass a bill, while the Senate and Obama were just busy calling everything DOA and issuing veto threats. If we defaulted, we would've just shot ourselves in the foot for what should be a very good 2012 election. For real change to happen, we need the WH back. How would you feel if Obama pulled of re-election and the main reason given was due to the fact our side was blamed for default? Like I said before, there's only so much you can do when you only control 1/2 of Congress. We need to keep our eye on the prize. the WH in 2012 is where it's at and we can't afford to sabotage our chances IMO.
Anyway, I still respect your opinion, but I just don't think our guns aren't big enough for the game were hunting at the moment.
I see where you are coming from , but then I listen to Levin and Limbaugh and read Heritage Foundation, and their logic is stronger...
According to Limbaugh, basically, we have been ambushed, checkmated, etc. If you don’t listen to him over lunch may wanna consider it—he has a very different take on this than the Fox News talking heads.
Limbaugh can be wrong, but not very often. Hope he is this time and you are right.
As I said, you may change your mind if you read Heritage or listen to these guys and their analysis.
