Arianna Talks About The Debt Ceiling Agreement With Lawrence O'Donnell (VIDEO)

Thursday, August 4, 2011


From today's interview with Pelosi in Mother Jones:

Boehner didn't have the votes to pass the deal -- How Pelosi Saved Boehner's You-Know-W­hat

Consider that with the obviously staged distractio­n/misdirec­ted Gabrielle Giffords showing up on the floor during the vote.  

Politico and the LA Times reported that JoeBiden told the Democratic­Caucus two days ago that Obama was prepared to invoke the 14th amendment should no deal be reached.  So the debt ceiling would have been raised no matter what (there were other ways to do it, too), without having cuts like these that are going to throw another million out of jobs and drive us into a deeper Depression­.

There's a general rule of thumb in politics that you can't predict who is going to win an election by canvassing your own social circle, but as an old politicall­y active and well connected liberal Democrat, I think Arianna is wrong about Democrats staying with Obama.  I don't know anyone who is going to vote for him again.
