2. Every day closer to 'default' - the worse it get for Repubs who
walked away from serious reform.

We offered 4 Trillion in cuts - they left because we wanted to close loopholes for corporate jet owners.

The majority of people ignored all of this until they realized SS checks might get delayed because Republicans wouldn't tax some Billionaires.

Obama is looking like the adult in the conversation while the Republicans whine and protect the rich.

Wait until next week - when this really cranks up and people are paying attention - then Obama gives a prime time speech (or whatever) and lays it all out. "We offered serious deficit reduction, Republicans refused. It seems they really aren't that interested in lowering the deficit or cutting spending. They want to save lightbulbs".
