The blame game

Eric Cantor leaves the budget talks and the posts write themselves.
Blue Virginia blasts Cantor.
The Other McCain blasts candidate Obama, playing the blame game.
Obama’s gearing up his 2012 re-election campaign, and is therefore trying to paint Republicans into a box, to depict them as “extremist” and “irresponsible” if they don’t compromise with Democrats on a deal to increase the debt ceiling. And in this case, ”compromise” means agreeing to a tax increase, which would be a 100% betrayal of the voters who gave Republicans the majority in last year’s mid-term election.
It would be nice for Obama to act like president before running again for president.
