Obama needs better political skills

"The ability to push through legislation would no longer be about which party was better at winning elections; it would be about which party was more willing to take the government, and with it the economy, over the cliff. Indeed, if the Republicans were to win this standoff, the result would be far more general uncertainty, since every debt-ceiling increase would become an occasion for rewriting laws."

A simple way to deny this leverage is to live within your means. Don't spend more than you make. Appropriation bills have to start in the House. Obama has little respect for constitution (or the law, for that matter), but it is in there. This gives the people's direct representatives the power to deny funding.

Obama is leading a criminal organization. Multiple branches of the executive have been shown to be breaking the law, with the disregard of ObamaCare only the latest instance. Any tactic to return this administration to legality, is justifiable.

Obama is disrespecting the constitution and as a minimum, he needs to acknowledge the house's power in this instance.
