2. I am going to bet he throws support behind

the "deal" that gives them everything they want and will admonish people like Grijalva and Sanders.

[HereSince1628]

8. I hope we are near the end of these...

this one is going to be to lower anxieties in the Asian markets.

Good luck Mr. President

[DFW]

10. I'd say the Asian markets is EXACTLY what influenced the timing of this

I'm betting that Obama is NOT going to say, "the Republicans would not agree to ANY revenue increases, and simple economics says we won't
significantly reduce the deficit that way, so i'm invoking the 14th amendment,much as I didn't want to resort to that."

Oops. Just got that confirmed. So why do I NOT feel clairvoyant?

11. I voted for him with the greatest of hope.

He's got NOTHING to say to me anymore. Fuck him.
