Pic Of The Moment: Dear Eric Cantor

[DallasNE]

9. There Was So Much More Wallace Could Have Done

While Wallace did a pretty good job at times he badly fumbled the ball and at a key moments at that. Cantor told Wallace “We will have a vote on a series of bills at some point" without pinning Cantor down on the framework those bill will have. I think we can be pretty sure that they will be a temporary 3 month extensions at existing spending levels in an effort to stuff the sequester down Obama's throat. I can't see that getting past the Senate in a million years, nor the sure Presidential veto so this just reinforces Wallace's point about wasting time passing bill that have no chance of becoming law, while forcing a partial government shutdown. And why didn't Wallace pin Cantor down on why the House refuses to go to conference on a budget because that budget would then be the framework for the stalled appropriation bills -- the sole purpose of the budget in the first place. Lastly, there was nothing on what Cantor planned to do about the debt ceiling that will be hit soon after Congress comes back from break. So between key questions not asked and no follow-up on a key Cantor comment I would grade Wallace a D+ today. But at least it is not an F.
