his suggestion of giving control on the debt ceiling to obama is a pathetic joke, much like many republican ideas these days.

McConnell stated clearly his goal: he wants politics put first, and that's why he wants to do this, to provide political cover to the GOP.

I think the end of this, middle of next week, will the routine one-sentence clean debt ceiling bill they always pass. What should have happened weeks ago.
