President, Dems split on strategy

The Hill reports:

Senate Democrats and President Obama have split over important strategic decisions in the battle to raise the debt ceiling.

Senate Democrats want to increase the nation’s borrowing authority for more than a year, taking Congress through the mid-term election.

Obama seemed to undercut them Tuesday afternoon when he said he could support a short-term legislation to fund government and raise the debt limit.

The great moments of the Democrat party.
