It's hubris when you're the one who has dithered, procrastinated, delayed and generally ignored your fiduciary duties, only to try and shift the blame when crunch time comes.
Were this clueless turd someone with an (R) by their name, you'd be all over him.
i see that assessment as false. they wanted to drag him in. they had the senate and the house and the vp working on this for months. if the r's wanted to make a deal, they would have. but cantor walked out because he knows the only way to address this is a combination of spending cuts and revenue increases and he doesn't want his name attached to that. he'd rather hang boehner out to dry. and i know for a fact that the children in congressional leadership among the r's are slightly more adult about this in their private discussions, but not by much. that's what happens when tea zealots with no understanding of the role of government get elected into office.
and no... if the dems said they'd never make a deal despite whatever damage it would cause to this country, i'd call them on it. in fact, i'd think it was disgusting. (for the record, saying you won't give someone else EVERYTHING they want is not refusing to make a deal).
how about you calling out the r's for a complete and total lack of interest in the results of yet another fiscal misstep on their part? they're so focused on trying to make this president a one-termer that they're screwing up at every possible turn.
that's how i see it. you might be able to convince me otherwise, but i'm not feeling it.
