In case you thought the GOP stood for anything except obstructionism I give you this absurdity from Mitch 'one term' McConnell, filibustering his own bill because the Dems actually agreed to vote on it.
I don't want to hear anymore about "compromise" from Republicans again, this is a total farse and it shows where their true priorities are.
Debt Ceiling Bluff Called By Harry Reid, Leaving Mitch McConnell To Filibuster Himself
WASHINGTON -- A move to embarrass Democrats backfired on Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell Thursday as the Kentucky Republican proposed a vote on raising the nation's debt ceiling -- then filibustered it when the Democrats tried to take him up on the offer.
On Thursday morning McConnell had made a motion for the vote on legislation that would let the president extend the country's borrowing limit on his own. Congress would then have the option to disapprove such hikes, in a fashion similar to one that McConnell first suggested during last year's standoff over the debt ceiling.
The minority leader apparently did not think Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) would take him up on his offer, which would have allowed McConnell to portray President Barack Obama's desire for such authority as something even Democrats opposed.

Wow. That good video also. McConnell, " the single most important thing we want to achieve is for the President to be a one-term president."
So, was he trying to outdo himself?
McConnell and Boehner are both terrible; that said, obama is a fool for acting like he can just demand to have control over the debt ceiling. For a supposed Constitutional Professor, obama is clueless but the Republicans badly need new leaders in Congress.
