So this happened today: Huffington Post reports that the Senator from KY, Mitch McConnell responded to Republican outrage over his giving up the debt ceiling fight by saying that he will not help get President Obama re-elected. Which means, of course, that President Obama put him in a choke hold of epic proportions. By stating clearly ~ plainly ~ and unequivocally more than once that he was willing to cut trillions in spending and seriously look at overhauling SS ~ Medicare and Medicaid too, as long as Republicans agreed to raise revenues via taxes in a fractional proportion, he forced them to either agree to a deal they did not craft (or actually want), or refuse to raise taxes even if they got everything they said they wanted, thus proving to the American people they do not give a good god damn about fairness or the vast majority of Americans, they only care about their bat-shit no taxes promise to GOP, Inc.
Truly masterful.
