How the hell can anyone think it was a draw for Cruz and Boehner?

How do you figure Obama, Obamacare and the Democrats didn't win?

 

[Hoffstra]

Winners: Obama and the Democrats, for not giving in, not even at the last moment.

Losers: The Republicans and Boehner for letting the Tea Party dominate them and bring them on a suicide mission.

BIG Losers: The Tea Party for almost destroying the USA and trying to blackmail the Congress into giving them what they want.

obama won. His prize is a lame duck presidency.

This is just how bad it ended up.

This is a broken presidency living out its last few years either holding off Republican attacks or lazily cruising the country on some pointless, endless, fatuous campaign trail. Obama's administration is politically bankrupt.

The results of Dem-care will tell the tale...it's starting off as a failure, an economic disaster and it's only going to get worse...congratulations...

 

[Trajan]

. Overall, the shutdown cost the government some $24 billion. All to end up right where we started

Way to go TeaTards
Your temper tantrums cost us $24 billion

Democrats worried about government waste...too funny..

Wasn't that the cost of Mr. and Mrs. O's recent vacation???

Jesus, really?


Anyone with even the slightest bit of intellectual honesty can see that they come out of this debacle looking only slightly better than the Republicans, and they look like shit.

The Democrats got what they wanted.

The Republicans didn't get anything they fought for.

Obama and the Democrats clearly won.

its funny, for the past 16 days it been 'the house should do what the are supposed to do'..now for doing what they were supposed to do, they 'lost'....

they brought the nation to the brink of default.

that's why they lost.

the bill that will pass today should have been voted on by the House a month ago.

 

[ScienceRocks]

We need to do what's right for America and our economy.

Anything else is dumb.

I like this quote from Putin on Obama, it should be extended to all Democrats at this time..


"Negotiating with Obama is like playing chess with a pigeon.
The pigeon knocks over all the pieces, shits on the board and
then struts around like it won the game."

It remains to be seen whether Cruz and Boehner will survive this.

What's the worst that could happen to Tailgunner Ted? Being a total demagoguing prick isn't impeachable, so at the very least he'll still get to keep being a Senator.

 

[Katzndogz]

The republicans lost, but how badly has obama been wounded by the fight? With any luck, the democrats will be bleeding for years to come.

Cruz has proved himself. Boehner might be voted out next election and replaced by someone with more backbone.

critical thinking not your forte eh? they had to, they could not stop it and they knew it, this had to happen, we've been told by the media that this was outside the 'rules' taking hostages etc.....so they did it, now they lost something and 'your side' gained what again? Raising the debt limit? what happened to all that obama rhetoric on it "not being patriotic"? ? Blame your own rhetoric.
