"Apparently, House Republicans are holding out for a formal surrender ceremony. Speaker John Boehner has come up with a counterproposal to Reid’s — a plan that isn’t all that different substantively but that Boehner titled “The Two-Step Approach to Hold President Obama Accountable.” For many Republicans, even this doesn’t go far enough. Republicans apparently won’t be satisfied until Obama takes responsibility for all of the national debt, the Bush tax cuts and the Oklahoma heat wave, admits he’s not a citizen and goes back to Kenya." -- Harold Meyerson in today's Kaplan Daily.
Having eaten the Dems' lunch, the wingnut Rethugs want to eat their breakfast and supper, too. The Dems and Obama now find themselves playing from their own 5 yard line. Dealing with a reckless, radical and delusional group that doesn't care about hurting people will almost always produce bad outcomes, as Obama and the Dems are finding out.
