as evidenced by the fact that Nordquist backed it so quickly.
I'm sure Obama would have rather had the kind of votes Bush got (bipartisan) the seven times they lifted the debt limit while W was in office but the way the vote was going this time it would not have been bipartisan.
The GOP "wins" because they don't "have to vote" (they will have to vote to give the prez the power to lift it alone) and Obama wins because the limit is lifted.
Yes, it was game playing but we din't cave...this time.
