And after all this
he refuses to answer the questions, preferring instead to go off-topic and other such avoidance tactics.
Pointing out how the RepubliCANTS are wholly responsible for injecting their ideology into the process of raising the debt ceiling is NOT "trying to find somebody to blame", it's being factual. http://iwt.mikevital....iwt?postid=48591 http://iwt.mikevital....iwt?postid=48850 Beep, you're entitled to your own opinion, but not to your own facts. "Chicago to my mind was the only place to be. ... I above all liked the city because it was filled with people all a-bustle, and the clatter of hooves and carriages, and with delivery wagons and drays and peddlers and the boom and clank of freight trains. And when those black clouds came sailing in from the west, pouring thunderstorms upon us so that you couldn't hear the cries or curses of humankind, I liked that best of all. Chicago could stand up to the worst God had to offer. I understood why it was built--a place for trade, of course, with railroads and ships and so on, but mostly to give all of us a magnitude of defiance that is not provided by one house on the plains. And the plains is where those storms come from." -- E.L. Doctorow |

This was a game played by both sides
pretending otherwise is ignoring the positions of a huge number of new hires in Washington specifically elected on the platform of "no more".
To PRETEND (which is what your doing) that this situation was the same is completely ridiculous. To leave Obama blameless for outright rejecting short term hikes until the very end (as your posts clearly indicate was just as much standard practice as passing them) was equally responsible for taking this situation to the brink. It just doesn't fit your world view. It was a campaign promise that changed the balance of power in Congress. Did you honestly think they would just roll over on it? Sure, understanding today's complex world of the future is a little like having bees live in your head. But...there they are.
