I'm amazed that Boehner got this much. I think all along the Speaker had way more political capital than the headlines attribed to him.

If this report is true, I agree with you. I am not happy with the solution, but it was not the typical Fred Flintstone (Cave Man) approach.

I'm pretty happy with it.

Boehner & Cantor got everything they wanted all along which shows that the momentum is on the side of the House.

Not only did they get what they wanted, but they got more.

They got:

A) the deal in 2 parts (not even part of the original agreement) which takes us further into the year keeping the discussion of cuts in the headlines...a good thing.

B) they even got a guaranteed vote on the BBA which very few people even dreamed would happen a couple of weeks ago.

Perhaps the BEST part of the deal...Obama CAVED bigtime and the left is going to be livid with him. This deal weakens Obama significantly. Just go to DU...there is hardly one positive comment about Hussein among the left-wing crowd tonite.
