I wil look at Rachel- when it is little more in my "timezone" to do it - but yeah I think Boehener and in general the GOP got their asses kicked from the President this time around.. I suspect he gave the Speaker of the House a lexture about who would be kept responsible if the US was to defult on its loans - and where the wrath of the public would be - if GOP was not acting in the best interst of the country - if not for the President - at least to the only honest thing for the country...
But the important thing, is what the Congress is doing becouse of all the Tea Party extremists - I wounder if Boehener have the power to reign in the extremist and to get enough wotes to stop this horrible gridlock - and to make the shutdown of the Government something that could end - yesterday.. I doubt he have the power - and I doubt the tea party extremist - and many of the other republicans is able - or willing to work WITH the President this time.. Even if it was to save their own face.. I fear that even if Boehener are doing all his trix and are using all his power and authorities to solve this nuclear chatastrophe who are just around the corner - I doubt the Republican Party do have enough sane persons in it in the Congress - to really just stop at the cliff - and start a long troublesome way to get on the road again...
I have no doubt it is a lot of activity on Capitol Hill - I suspect most of them are now trying their best to do something that would resolve it - and to save face for themself.. But I doubt it is anything that would undo the damage the Republican Party have been able to do to themself - and I hope - that enough americans would got to the polls next year - to trow out enough Republicans - and specially the Tea Party candidates - to make some resolve in reparing the horrible damage the Republican Party have beeing doing to the US, since Barack H.Obama got elected in 2008.. It wil take years, and years, and years to repair the horrible damage the GOP, and the tea-party groups have been doing to the US as it is..
