Typical
Either nobody caught Obama's slip or they just won't admit it. Pretty hard to dismiss from the horse's mouth.
Came across another tidbit that confirms Obama and Reid's strategy for budget talks.
Shortly before President Barack Obama was re-elected, he confided to John Podesta, an informal adviser, a vow he was making for his second term: He would never again bargain with Republicans to extend the U.S. debt limit.
The stand Obama has taken on the latest fight over the government shutdown and borrowing limit -- refusing to tie policy conditions to raising the debt ceiling -- is an attempt to repair some of the damage that he and his aides believe he sustained by making concessions to Republicans to avert a default two years ago, according to former top administration officials and advisers.

Anybody wondering who really is causing all this shutdown pain isn't paying attention to the facts.
Now, I here that 6 Democrats and 6 Republicans in the Senate have proposed a compromise and Reid won't even look at it. It's still my way or the highway for the Obama and Reid.
