(1) If they are going to be so steadfast in opposition to negotiating over the debt ceiling, why weren't they that way to begin with back when the Republicans started using the debt ceiling as a bargaining chip?

(2) You can't (or won't) stand up to the Republicans when it comes to the income tax rates / thresholds you campaign and won on, but you will stand up to them if it comes down to letting the country default on its obligations, something that would be unprecedented? Are you kidding me?
