got a credo mobile dot com forward slash Sam
right now hearst's
political has a good run down to the shutdown
and it advises some the stuff that I've been hearing
I have been talking about over the past couple days
that are really the linchpin
in preventing the republicans
from getting the grand bargain
from are using this debt ceiling and government shutdown
as a an affective hostage situation
the guy who stood between that and
the administration's long settled
you could tweet at me the Obama but in some fire up the machine that we have
the right now
their long settled the
am desire with the administration
to make a deal to
reform entitlements I E cut Social Security
the guys stood
in between the the republicans and the democrats on that was Harry Reid
a couple choice
the quotes from this a political peace apparently Obama um
with outside one of the meetings with the
John Boehner as he had to go get on a cigarette break
and presumably take a shot John what happen Obama mask according to people
briefed on the October 2 conversation
I got overrun that's what happened said Boehner up
I wonder what President Obama said at that point men you're useless
why are you here
the bonus it's your fault it's your puppy black
and being president what the hell you couldn't have changed your middle name
Republican cycled through every option possible during the three-week standoff
to save face their Obamacare demands devolved from a repeal
and if undue delay the individual mandate they revived the idea of a grand
bargain on taxes
and government spending but read openly laughed when bonet raise the during a
White House meeting
I'll they offered a more narrow proposal to replace the sequester cuts for two
years
then they went back to Obama Care nothing worked and I hear is the piece
that confirms what we know about the last fiscal cliff negotiations
when things were out there were some Republican senators urge Vice President
Joe Biden to get more involved
but he told each of them it was in his call Biden participated in meetings at
the white house
but read still angry about the vice president's concessions during the
fiscal cliff talks last december
had shut him out of direct negotiations with lawmakers this time around
we know that Biden stepped in and let the republicans off the hook when the
democrats had all the leverage
again I remind you the Bush tax cuts
we're going to sunset at January 1 2012
2013 excuse me
if the entire house and senate
went on an extended colonel crews
in didn't return until january 2nd
they would have in their pocket
the democrats taxes raised on
everyone across the board back to clinton administration levels
in then they would have been in the driver seat and said to the republicans
here's your opportunity to vote against middle-class tax cut because we're not
giving it to millionaires and billionaires
why didn't they do it because the white house didn't want that type a leverage
they didn't wanna go into this fistfight
with 300-pound gorilla
or with just begun or even a knife
because that would be rude
