I CALLED IT

You will recall that when the Republicans caved on the debt ceiling raise last time, I said that their threat of default unless they "got something" was now a dead letter and would not happen again. This evening, Boehner rolled over and brought a "clean" bill to the floor of the House, where it passed with all but two of the Democratic votes and a handful [28] of Republican votes.

It is a small victory for me, of course, but these days I will take anything I can get. A rather bigger victory for the country, and of course a victory as well for Obama.
