Wow! I just watched Lawrence O’Donnell analyze this whole debt ceiling mess, wherein he posits that the President has done a masterful job of rope-a-dope, and knew what he was doing all along. It’s 14 minutes long, but the time will just fly by. The analysis is cogent yet breathtaking, including a clip of Lawrence on election night 2010 predicting the very debt ceiling crisis we are now in. The guy is brilliant. (Among many other things, he was executive story editor for The West Wing, wrote 16 episodes, and also played Jeb Bartlett’s father in flashbacks.)
Now I’m just hoping that Lawrence is right.
Check it out for yourself here. Sorry about the 30 second commercial you will have to endure, but it’s a small price to pay.

O'Donnell is smart but it did not take a genius to predict a budget and debt crisis when Democrats were unable to even produce a budget even though they controlled all branches of govt. With the loss of the House it was obvious that Republicans would produce a budget, which they did and that it would be diametrically opposed to Democrat party thinking.
