Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell was for a vote to grant the president power to hike the debt limit before he was against it.
Within a matter of hours on Thursday, the Republican leader was furiously backpedaling from his own move to force a vote on President Obamas request for unlimited future borrowing authority. McConnell demanded such a vote in the morning, but by afternoon Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., had called his counterparts bluff and pressed for an up-or-down vote himself.
I object, said McConnell, R-Ky.
