Who else is he gonna blame? His own party? Neither party will do that now would they?

Of course there is a lot of political posturing going on.

Quote:

The Administration and Democrats in Congress had sought an increase in the debt limit without any spending cuts or reforms. Republicans made clear the American people would not tolerate that and fought for the largest spending cuts possible.

I think that part is pretty undeniable. This is really our first look at the post-Bush Republican Party. It is certainly more conservative than Bush was.
