[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The 2011 debt ceiling crisis was the low-water mark of Obama’s presidency:

[quote]Politically, the crisis caused support for the Republican Party to drop, whose support for the debt-ceiling deal was needed as it controlled the House. The party saw its approval ratings drop from 41 percent in July to 33 percent in August.[128] [b]Nevertheless, President Obama saw his approval ratings drop to a record low of 40 percent in regards to his handling of the crisis.[/b][129][/quote]

Obama negotiated in 2011 and as a result Republicans are back for more hostage-taking and will have *massive* demands.  As I noted in another thread, Biden’s best strategy, which hopefully he learned at Obama’s side in 2011, is to ask for a clean debt limit increase over and over again, then when the pressure and heat become absolutely unbearable Ned Beatty will have a private meeting with Kevin McCarthy:

They don't have the leverage or numbers to get any of their demands.  If they stick to their guns there will be a government shutdown and that's never gone well for the Republicans in the past.[/quote]
