After Obama agreed to extend the Bush tax cuts, Obama's 'most ardent supporters
Apparently Obama's fans weren't correct. The deal didn’t include raising the debt limit. Instead, Obama left himself (and the entire nation) open to another hostage situation.

The LA Times finds a nut and recognizes that, no matter what deal ultimately emerges from the debt limit talks, it’s going to be a Republican victory:
Even as the political battle mounts over federal spending, the end result for federal policy is already visible — and clearly favors Republican goals of deep spending cuts and drastically fewer government services.
President Obama entered the fray last week to insist that federal deficits can’t be reduced through spending reductions alone. Federal tax revenue also must rise as part of whatever deficit reduction package Congress approves this summer, he said. Obama has been pushing to end a series of what he calls tax loopholes and tax breaks for the rich.
But even if Obama were to gain all the tax-law changes he wants, new revenue would make up only about 15 cents of each dollar in deficit reduction in the package. An agreement by the Republicans to accept new revenue would be a political victory for Obama because “no new taxes” has been such an article of faith for the GOP.
In a perverse way, I’ll bet that the White House LIKES this article being out there, because it shows how Republicans won’t even accept a deal massively tilted to their ends, or something. But the article is really an indictment . And it reflects what I’ve been saying for months. The entire concept of trading an increase in the debt limit, a routine bill that usually passes with grumbling but little else, for a transforma tion of government , is Grover Norquist’s most long-hoped dream realized.

I think you can stop imagining what the White House views or what Obama would do.
We have 3 years of Obama's talk and actions to be able to predict how this is going to end: A deal that includes deep spending cuts to vital programs for the People.

Vast sums have been borrowed from China, Saudi Arabia, Japan, which We The People are on the hook for, are paying interest only on (so we will be making payments for the rest of our lives, and our children and grandchild
There was a huge party for the rich, they put cases of champagne and caviar into their Rolls Royces, drove off, and left us to deal with the catering bills. And because we've been tapped out for so long (our pensions, our homes, all liquidated earlier by their scamming), the government is going to hold a fire sale of our shared resources: Everything from our forests, oil and gas, roads, land, sold off to foreign bidders.
That's the best analogy for what's going on.
