This headline and story was on Yahoo yesterday:
"Obama opens door to short-term deal to end shutdown and calls possible U.S. default an economic nuke"
I have read that Yahoo tends to be a more liberal site, I found it interesting that the 'comment' part was mostly anti-Obama, whereas before........not so much.........I think the tide might be turning.
There was especially rancor over "if my word's not good enough" part of his speech:
“They can attach some process to that that gives them some certainty that in fact the things they're concerned about will be topics of negotiation, if my word's not good enough,” he said.
