said that all three sides involved will be able to claim some sort of victory. The Pukes that they didn't actually "vote" for the debt ceiling, and rasing taxes, Obama that he offered them a deal with cuts to Medicare and SS and they didn't take it proving they are not serious about cutting the debt, and the Congressional Dems that they stopped the Medicare age from being raised.

The guy also said that if the McConnel plan goes through they will still go ahead with making cuts to Medicare on the supplier side and there will still maybe "some changes" made to SS by the administration in this deal if it goes through. He said Nancy Peolosi is fighting those changes but he doesn't think she will win.

So it may be a technical win for Obama but I am still not sure it is a win for the Democratic party. We will have to wait and see. JMHO

Sorry I came in on the interview with this guy about two minutes in and didn't catch his name or who he worked for. I Googled and couldn't find it. So If any one can fill in that information, I'd be greatful.
