A good result but I can imagine more interesting ways that Obama could have ended the crisis. How about cutting the funding for anti-terrorism raids in Africa and the Middle East or military aid to Israel until the Republicans let the government do similarly crazy things like pay federal workers or run lucrative tourist sites.
The whole thing just shows the two faced nature of the lunatic right in a country that makes other country's extremists look like Salvation Army members. They talk about their desire for lower taxes and austerity through cuts in welfare services but then waste billions of dollars in posturing. As ever the politicians who masterminded this travesty were only concerned about any threat to a society of economic inequality and privilege rather than about any genuine commitment to the economy.
