Well is Obama going to stand with the all or nothing or will he accept this deal. Personally I think the republicans should of stuck to there guns and I am afraid that is exactly what Obama will do but I guess we will see.




After House Republicans gave a little breathing room on the debt ceiling, offering a “clean” six-week increase with nothing in return, President Barack Obama rejected their plan.

Obama’s and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid’s decision to completely reject any offer of a compromise from House Republicans confirms what most conservatives already know: Obama will not negotiate on anything (he has said as much numerous times over the past couple of weeks) unless he faces consequences for failing to do so.
The whole point of this fight, as most congressional Republicans including House Speaker John Boehner (http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/politics/2013/10/boehner-to-obama-all-he-has-to-do-is-call-the-note/) have said, has been to expose how President Obama has never compromised on anything, always gets his way or the highway, and will not negotiate with Congress—though he will try to make deals with American rivals or enemies like Russian President Vladimir Putin (http://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2013/09/19/boehner_why_is_obama_willing_to_negotiate_with_put in_but_not_republicans.html) and Iran’s new leaders (http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Peace/2013/09/29/Obama-Rouhani-Phone-Call-Another-Victory-for-Iran). In the process, conservatives hoped that Republicans would use their negotiating power to shred Obamacare, or at least burn parts of it.
