No. Some of the TPers are disappointed they didn't get the ransom AND get to shoot the hostage.
This is going to hurt the economy and they're going to blame Obama.
Obama is teflon, he can't be blamed.

Yes, Obama and all politicians will be blamed for this, as well they should.
Just like Bush was blamed for things that happened on his watch...it goes with the job.
But to have the first S&P downgrade in American history? tsk, tsk. I wouldn't want to be the president to have that as his legacy.
I certainly would not want to be the 1/2 majority of the lower house in Congress that caused it by forcing the deal to the last two days before default, scaring the American public and the world.
The Tea Party continues to fall down the polls in unpopularity.
Congress falls down the polls far worse than the president, who is not doing well himself.
What the fuck are you talking about? First, we were NOT going to default on August 2nd. We have plenty of revenue to make our debt payments.
Secondly, the cause of this downgrade was excessive debt and the plan to add trillions more in the next few years. The Tea Party wanted no more debt, to live within our means. To blame them is like blaming firemen for fires.
Not too bright are ya?
