I agree, extremely bad. I think those in favor of such a plan, namely Boehner and his group, are maneuvering strictly for political advantage. "The crisis atmosphere *he* created will be avoided." "The truth is, the President wants a blank check today." Are you kidding.

Please, stop being so shallow.

I liked "He wouldn't take yes for an answer"

I just wrote to my congressman. One Honorable John Boehner.

It'll be hard to read it with all the posturing he's doing.

Here you go:

writing is great and all, but they don't really spend much time reading those things. To really make them pay attention, a phone call is much more effective, because the staff will have to spend actual time on the phone call. They can't just quickly skim it and do the automated computerized response.

Shallow? that's not shallow, that's an outright lie. I understand the issues with different philosophies and all, but this is past the point of anything even remotely rational.
THEY (virtually all of them) are playing politics with this and as usual, we the people are the ones paying for their decisions.
