Here's The Debt Ceiling Move The GOP Could Play To Really Box Obama In



We're going to hit the debt ceiling on October 17.

Barack Obama has said he won't negotiate at all, and is demanding a totally clean lift.

The GOP, on the other hand, is coming out with a preposterous wish list of demands in exchange for a hike to the debt ceiling.

Per the National Review, some of the demands include:
A one-year delay of Obamacare.
Blocking Net Neutrality regulations.
Approving the Keystone Pipeline.
Blocking the EPA from regulating ash waste from coal-fired power plants.
Subjecting funding for the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to annual Congressional appropriation.

Of course Obama will agree to none of those things, and the offer also makes it clear that the GOP's debt ceiling ploy isn't even about the debt, but just using the debt ceiling as a leverage point to get what they want in government, even though they're in the minority.

Here's what the GOP should do instead.

Make the following offer: A hike in the debt ceiling on the condition that Obama approves the Keystone Pipeline.

If Obama seems receptive, it will prove that he was lying about not being willing to negotiate.

If Obama says no, he'll look unreasonable, not circumventing a crisis over something so minor and on something really popular.

Polls show broad, bipartisan support for Keystone XL, and it's the environmentalist wing of the Democratic party that Obama is pandering to by not approving it. If the GOP could get out of its own way, this would be the move to make.

Yeah well the polls show the public on the GOP side of all their demands. That doesn't mean Zero would do any of them. He is scraping for a shut down because his simple and retarded mind thinks its a winner for him because his MSM pals tell him so. The results of the '96 elections say otherwise.

It should be apparent to most that Zero is an ideologue on domestic issues. Unlike the pervert Bill Xlinton, who DID negotiate and then (with the help of the media) turned it to his advantage, Zero does not negotiate.

Never has. Never will.
