Per the Wall Street Journal:
WASHINGTON—A "real solution" to U.S. fiscal problems isn't possible as long as President Barack Obama remains in office, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell said Tuesday, heightening the rhetoric surrounding the debt-ceiling debate.
McConnell's assessment is correct. Obama is a rigid, ideological leftist who puts his dogma before anything else. The GOP strategy should be one of containment: preventing further fiscal disasters by the Master of Disaster until we can vote him out in 2012.
I think the Republicans have to be very careful. If they show any evidence of compromise, then people like myself will think they are being weak and not up to the job of changing the government, just like they did in the 90's. I was listening to the speaker today and he was acting too gracious toward Obama. I want these guys to start kicking ass and not talking like the Democrats are anything but scum. Otherwise, people are not going to be inclined to vote them back in.
