Did the GOP unconditionally surrender?

Earlier this week Majority House leader Speaker John Boehner assured the press that any extension of the Debt ceiling without concessions was "Unconditional surrender" on the part of the Republican House. But just today he met with President Obama on doing exactly that. 

Why?

Because the Republican party knows that a breach of the debt ceiling would have wide reaching consequences to the economy of not just the United States, but to most of the world. And the GOP would be the ones to take the blame.

The Tea Party, now mysteriously silent including the Jr. Senator from Texax, Ted Cruz, whom started this whole mess by starting a fight his fellow party mates told him was impossible to win.

But the President, whom has been publicly saying for a week now that he would accept a short term extension of the debt ceiling to avoid a crisis while the two sides negotiate, congenially allowed the Speaker of the House to take credit for the plan to kick the debt ceiling down the road as if he had just thought of it today.

The Republican party and more specifically the Tea Party have been telling the press for two weeks that the President refuses to negotiate when all he has been saying the whole time is that he will negotiate on ANY issue, he would accept the GOP's numbers on the budget and he would talk about any subject if the House would please not be total dick heads and shut down the government or if they would please stop crying like 4 year olds that were told it was time for a bath and reopen the government. He said he would negotiate. He said he would talk. He just can't do it with a gun to his head or it will subject every president for the rest of time to a precedent of negotiating under threats of destroying America if a tiny minority of one faction does not get 100% of what they want all the time.

Let's hope the GOP sticks to their deal and don't try to attach anything to the debt hike. And that one day they allow the government to reopen and stop blaming the President for something he had no hand in.
