++The Senate finally passed the Budget agreement by 64 votes to 36. This is the first bipartisan budget agreement since 1986. 55 Democrats voted for and 9 Republicans.
++Before it happened,slight hysteria hit the Senate floor as John McCain announced he would introduce legislation to Repeal and Replace the ACA. By the time he actually introduces such legislation,the ACA or Obamacare will be five years old. In case, you have missed it enrollment numbers are surging. So do all those who finally get insure, lose it if a McCain plan is introduced?
++Even before that, Peggy Noonan wrote an op-ed saying that President Obama would blow us all up because of incompetence.
++Paul Ryan says that the GOP will have a hostage to the debt ceiling--namely the Keystone XL pipeline. He repeated the GOP talking points on this boondoggle, which are all absolutely false.
++If anyone really thinks next year will see a more harmonious Congress you are deluding yourselves. Hatred of President Obama is now stratospheric and will remain so.
++John Podesta said that the teabaggers in the House are like those people at Jonestown. Naturally, this being Washington, he had to retract his quote.
++Andrew Sullivan at The Dish disemboweled Ron Fournier on his piece that Obama is at the same place Bush was in the second term.
++I guess we now wait for the NDAA and the Farm Bill. More Obama nominees have trickled in during the slow-motion foodfight in the Senate.
++I'll deal with President Obama in one of my next posts after I talk myself down from the eruption of GOP insanity.
