In reply to the discussion: OK, thanks to DUers I think I'm seeing a "Shock Doctrine" pattern here........ [View all]busterbrown
(8,515 posts)from hitting the cliff... Which has continued to this day..Id call it a stalemate..Cuts to Programs we support and cuts to the military which pissed them off.. Which leads to today.
Because today Obama has backed these guys into a corner which they cant get out of. He played the chess game by
giving them bits of bait and then simply stated no more.. Im fucking done These guys played by Obama thought they could hold the countries financial future as hostage by defunding Obamacare.. Which led to a shut down of govt.
By giving them bits and pieces as bait they thought they could obviously keep it rolling until they defunded Obamacare.. They are now done and looking for a way to get out of Obamas rat trap.
You can also add Syria to this trap... He played Republican congress beautifully...forcing them to play their hand first
which they did not want to do. They passed a resolution committing us to attacking Syria which led to the deal with the Russians.. Republicans wanted Obama to make the decision in order to attack him on either stance he took.
It didnt work and today the Syrians are giving up their chemical weapons..
