Baloney. Boehner and Obama compromised with $4 trillion and tax increases through loophole cutting (exactly what S & P's, Moody's, etc. wanted, because they talked to the President), and the Tea Party congressional Republicans nixed it.
Who held the good faith and credit of the US hostage by refusing to raise the debt ceiling? The Tea Party and the GOP.
Who created two months of drama over a routine raise of the debt ceiling? The Tea Party and the GOP.
And you question my sanity? Look at reality. No - Obama and the Dems didn't do any of that - they compromised while the GOP gave up nothing and brought this country to the brink of disaster. And the American people know that.
Name one thing the Dems or Obama did to obstruct raising the debt ceiling? You can't. It doesn't exist.
