Now it gets worse

I just read two articles that are highlighted on Drudge. The first one from the Washington Times explains that Senator Reid is not willing to go ahead with a vote on his own bill; he is insisting on using a cloture motion to stop a fillibuster that does not exist and only then voting on the bill. Reid says that this will show the country that the GOP is being obstructionist. Huh? Reid delays his own bill without reason but the Republicans are obstructing. How dumb does Reid think the American people are? In truth, Reid wants to have a vote on his bill at two in the morning on Sunday so that no one will watch the proceedings.

The second is an article from CNBC in which a Washington insider expresses annoyance that Wall Street has not gone into panic mode. Apparently, the political biggies want the markets to melt down in order to force people to compromise. So, not only does Obama not want to waste a good crisis, he also wants to create one in order to use it.

How bizarre is this?
