re: #207 Feline Fearless Leader

What do you want to bet that Obama has already sat down with Bill Clinton and discussed how he handled Newt the last time the GOP threw a tantrum and threatened to shut down the government. I suspect that the Democrats are now well prepared to dig in and let the GOP go over the cliff. And Obama has already emailed Boehner the message “Please proceed Mr Speaker.”

The difference is that Boehner has tried harder to avoid a problem, but he got back-handed by his reps, who don’t want to make a deal that raises taxes.
