Sounds like common sense -we'll see if he has the spine to stick with his position after getting raked over the coals by the Tea Party that wants everything and wants it now!
Say what you will about the Tea Party but they're ahead of the curve considering every single registered voter should be demanding fiscal responsibility now; If the Senate doesn't want to release budgets we shouldn't be re-electing them, If the House doesn't want to compramise we shouldn't be re electing them.Fiscal responsibilty is a common theme that should pass all party barriers.
