Turns out the Left didn’t have to arrest him after all. House Speaker John Boehner has no guts and is now ready to cave in on Democrat demands. He calls it a compromise, based on a few fig-leaf changes to ObamaCare.
It’s really an establishment Republican sell-out: the curse of the career pols.
As the Tea Party’s Jennifer Burke puts it: The Left is saying “‘RINO’s, we know that you have no spine. We know that you don’t stand on principle. We know that you enjoy your cushy little life here in DC with all of the perks and are complacent just to be in second place.”
No wonder Obutthead refused to negotiate. He didn’t have to.
UPDATE: No fig leaves for Obutthead. He does not “compromise,” either. Full, humiliating, collapse is his aim. He’ll probably get it, too.
THE TEXAS SCRIBBLER 
Yeah, it sucks. A lot of dead wood must be cleared and a lot pain will happen before we get anywhere near where we want to be.
It’s the career clowns we have to get rid of, and stop allowing the pols of either party to make government their private play pen.
He did the same thing for the Sequester. Arrive at a deal, then renege and demand more. The result shows that he’s in charge and the other side is willing to cave. It’s a game to him.
Closing the Vietnam memorial, which only involves walking by, nothing else, showed he was playing a game. Not to mention the parks, etc. Next, I hear, he’s going to cancel science research funding, which will cost some people their mortgages, rent money, etc. While the IRS, the EPA, NPR, etc., go on and on. Does he care? I doubt it.
Somewhat depressing indeed, but fits what I think about pols like a glove.
