Who was it that said he was going to make health care reform into Obama's Waterloo even before the president had put a proposal on the table? Boehner? Too much concern over what's good for the party, not enough over what's good for the country.

This whole budget debate is another example. Both parties scream we're going over a cliff (one they put us on the road to, by the way, because they wouldn't man up and legislate), but they decide to wait until we're eight weeks closer to it before discussing it. Gods forbid they should do something that might result in either party getting credit before November. "We need to go home to run for re-election!" If they'd do something, anything, they'd all be shoo-ins. Instead they'll wait until December, when the lame ducks won't give a quack and whichever party will become the minority will even more obstructionist.
