McConnell Proposal Gives Obama Power to Increase Debt Limit - NYTimes.com

The Senate Republican leader, Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, said Tuesday that a bipartisan budget deal with President Obama was probably out of reach, and he proposed a plan under which the president could increase the federal debt limit without Congressional approval for offsetting spending cuts.

Well, there you go.

I guess the public's outrage over Republican obstruction was too much for them to handle right now and they want to push it out till later.
